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 as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:34, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: anachronistic WP:SMALLCAT. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:56, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does not sound like a good idea per WP:SMALLCAT, i.e. not until we have several murder articles per year in the Thirteen Colonies. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:13, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Never likely to be any more articles. Rathfelder (talk) 22:32, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:smallcat concerns revising target to category:17th century murders in the Thirteen Colonies.GreyShark (dibra) 09:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 18:35, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Coatrack for pushing a political POV in BLPs, most of the entries are better described as conspiracy theorists rather than propagandists. Guy Macon (talk) 19:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. MER-C 18:32, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT.
Category:1989 in East Berlin contains only one page, and it is is the only subcat of Category:Years in East Berlin.
There may be enough content to populate Category:Decades in East Berlin (tho the categories are currently thin), but there's not enough for by-year. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:48, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: do not rename. MER-C 18:56, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I want this renamed so it can fit the caliber for all notable positions in the trade union such as Vice presidents. It can cover a broader spectrum of pages. ֆօʍɛɮօɖʏǟռʏɮօɖʏ05 (talk) 15:23, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than renaming it, let's keep this category and create the people category for the larger group of non-presidents whose notability is in part derived from their position in the NBPA. This can be a sub-category of that group.--User:Namiba 18:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Mind WP:OCASSOC though. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:15, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Following Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 September 29#Category:Wikipedians who like Beastars, here are more categories that only contain unused userboxes, no actual users. Note: I have ensured that the userboxes are in appropriate manga/TV/book fan template categories, so they can be found by that route. – Fayenatic London 08:55, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 18:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These films were directed by a team of brothers known as the Mo Brothers, not by an individual named Mo Brothers. So I suggest adding "the" to the category name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
