Nominator's rationale: This is the subregion of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and both are named after their main city Zaporizhzhia (the Ukrainian names translated use an adjective form of the city’s name, literally “Zaporizhzhian raion” and “Zaporizhzhian oblast”).  —Michael Z. 19:27, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD, this is non-defining. User:Namiba 13:23, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There's a list in the main article. DexDor (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OSE, WP:RGW. DexDor (talk) 17:14, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm open to deleting that as well. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:59, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Philly jawn: Since there is now an open nomination to delete the Eagles Scout category, does that change your iVote here? RevelationDirect (talk) 02:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename per article title Scots College (Sydney) (without capitalized The). This nomination was opposed for speedy renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:10, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Armbrust, Good Olfactory, and Fayenatic london: pinging contributors to speedy discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:10, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Defer To match the outcome of the RM discussion, whether I agree with it or not. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Fayenatic london: The RM was closed as no consensus, and thus the main article remains at Scots College (Sydney). Armbrust The Homunculus 22:41, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Small Japan categories

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 14:50, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These were previously nominated for deletion on 2 July as WP:SMALLCAT; some pages were added, and the CFDs were closed by non-admin user:Buidhe, in good faith but apparently without checking the contents. I came across them while following up closures at CFD July 27, and removed some of the member pages – in particular, national highways that are mentioned in articles on towns/villages should not also be categorised by those small places. After removing those, only three pages remain in each of these categories, so I am re-nominating them for discussion. Pinging Nihonjoe as a courtesy. – Fayenatic London 09:50, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 14:41, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, a slighty shorter title, alignment with parent Category:Research institutes and a slightly broader scope (no mandatory affiliation with a university). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:12, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to where? DexDor (talk) 11:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete, with some of the contents upmerged to Category:International Telecommunication Union. Category:Radio stations and systems ITU and Category:Radiocommunication services ITU were not nominated, so they are in Category:International Telecommunication Union. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: listify as standardization isn't a defining feature of the children articles. fgnievinski (talk) 22:54, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd suggest listifying and deleting as well. fgnievinski (talk) 18:57, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roman Catholic Diocese of Lydda and Ramla

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: keep. MER-C 14:52, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only two articles. The main article Roman Catholic Diocese of Lydda and Ramla is already in Category:Roman Catholic dioceses in the Crusader states so merging is not needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • We can create Category:Bishops of Lydda and Ramla when every bishop has his own article. But I can't imagine many more topic articles to come. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can imagine more topic articles about the parishes, clerics of the bishopric. Furthermore, Lydda was also an Orthodox see. Borsoka (talk) 05:26, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Parishes and priests are hardly ever notable. The fact that Lydda was also an Orthodox see is irrelevant. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:11, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Consensus against this merge. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 19:50, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It doesn't make sense nowadays to have "articles" in the name of a content category to distinguish it from media files (which should really be on Commons anyway). Merging would be a good solution. Mike Peel (talk) 19:46, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 10:38, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This (created with no parent categories) category has been populated (only I think) with animals endemic to that region so that's probably what it's meant to be. We should try to avoid having a plethora of non-endemic overlapping categories as it results in very incomplete categories. Parent categories and the word "only" should be added. Note: A category of the same name was CFDed in January and the same outcome as that discussion is also an option. DexDor (talk) 07:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Chewitt99: please do not undertake unilateral action. An uninvolved closer of the discussion will implement the consensus result. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:21, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
