Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. This was a short-lived wrestling stable. There were only 4 members and it cannot grow larger, so also violated WP:SMALLCAT.User:Namiba 12:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:AAP

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: redirect from a highly ambiguous title (see dab page AAP). This is a recipe for miscategorisation: if an editor adds Category:AAP to an article, intending to refer to some other meaning of AAP, the bots will "correct" it to Category:Aam Aadmi Party ... and the editor who added the category won't know unless they watch the page.

Category:Achaemenid satraps of Parthia

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category, and the section Parthia#Under_the_Achaemenids gives the impression that not much is known about this period of Parthian history, for sure it does not contain a list of satraps.

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the eponymous article and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge for consistency, these are the only amphitheaters categories that are diffused by ancient Roman provinces. More generally, most Roman buildings categories are organized by modern geography. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge as a redundant category layer, it only contains a template and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Works about LGBT topics

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OVERLAPCAT. A separate Works category is useful in case there also e.g. works of art involved, or when there is enough content to have a separate topic and a set category, but neither is the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course you are right about books. Withdraw nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Greater Reading

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose deleting:
  • Category:Greater Reading (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Category:Places in Greater Reading
  • Category:Transport in Greater Reading
Nominator's rationale: "Greater Reading" appears to be an informal area around Reading, Berkshire, with no defined boundaries. The page Greater Reading is a disambiguation page, and the term "Greater Reading" is not mentioned in the articles Reading, Berkshire or Berkshire.
I checked a sample of articles in the two subcats, and they all seem to be adequately categorised in other ways, so I see no need for any merges. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Egyptian

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: redirect from a highly ambiguous title (see dab page Egyptian). This is a recipe for miscategorisation: if an editor adds Category:Egyptian to an article on an Egyptian food or artwork or landform, the bots will "correct" it to Category:Egyptian people ... and the editor who added the category won't know unless they watch the page.

Category:Dominican literature

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: to clarify scope.
Dominican literature is a disambiguation page, because the title can also refer to the literature of Dominica or to the literature of the Dominican Republic.
if the category is renamed, the title should be re-cretaed as a ((Category disambiguation)) page. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:47, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
