The result of the discussion was: Dual merge to parent categories. (non-admin closure) Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 18:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, one person listed here who can be merged to the two parent categories. No objection to recreation or withdrawal of this nomination if more people can be included.Prisencolin (talk) 22:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rough consensus is to keep Category:Roman Catholic archbishops of Bologna and not rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a test. About half of the subcategories of Category:Roman Catholic archbishops by diocese in Italy are like "Roman Catholic archbishops of somewhere" and the other half are just "Archbishops of somewhere". I dont see any obvious reason for the difference. I cant see any archbishops in Italy who are not Catholic so I'd like to see consistency, and in Italy I dont think we need to specify that they are Roman Catholic. But if we do, lets specify that for all of them. Rathfelder (talk) 21:47, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:49, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, this concerns categorization by 3rd and 4th level administrative divisions of Greece, leading to a endless series of single-article or 2-article categories. The proposal is to merge to 2nd level administrative division, except cities and larger towns, in this case except Alexandroupoli‎ (58,000 people), Orestiada‎ (20,000 people) and Didymoteicho (9,000 people). This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:26, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Women in the The Troubles (Northern Ireland) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Propose deleting Category:Decades in the the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: These two soft categories are leftovers from page moves by Rich Farmbrough in February 2016 because of "the The" in the titles, and were also formerly in Category:Empty categories with no backlinks. Not sure why we should keep these around. Regards, SONIC678 21:09, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete WP:G6. – Fayenatic London 21:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These three were left over from moves to bring their correctly formatted counterparts more in line with naming conventions, and ended up as soft categories after Category:Empty categories with no backlinks (which contained the incorrectly formatted ones) was deleted back in August 2020. I don't see why we should keep these lying around, delete them unless a justification can be provided. Regards, SONIC678 17:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Sportspeople from Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan to Category:People from Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan
Nominator's rationale: It's a village of 2000 people with no "People from" category at present, I can't imagine it's likely to grow much beyond the current two members so WP:SMALLCAT Le Deluge (talk) 09:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is WP:NONDEFINING. I've yet to hear anyone say, "See that guy? He's associated with water!" Fortunately, there aren't similar categories for earth, air and fire. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:16, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: manual merge to Category:Former countries in Central Asia and Category:History of Afghanistan. I've posted at WT:WPAF and WP:CFDWM to hopefully have it carried out by someone familiar with the history of Afghanistan. If there are no responses there I will carefully carry it out my self. (non-admin closure) --Trialpears (talk) 13:57, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Former Countries of Afghanistan to Category:Former countries in modern-day Afghanistan
Nominator's rationale: I'm open to other title suggestions, of course, but surely there has to be something less clunky than the current one. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 03:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Heroes of the Republic of Cuba
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Hero of the Republic of Cuba was conceptually inspired by other communist "hero" awards but, in practice, was given out much more sparingly to 40 some recipients accordigng to the main article. (In contrast, the equivalent East German award has thousands of factory worker and farmer recipients.) The category currently consists of the following articles: Five high ranking Cuban officials (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), one high ranking Soviet official (6), three Soviet cosmonauts (7, 8, 9), one Cuban cosmonaut (10), two pre-revolutionary Cubans (11, 12) plus a group article on five cuban intelligence officers arrested in Miami (11-15). The one thing these articles all have in common is they mention this award in passing with other honours so it doesn't seem defining. I expanded the existing list of recipients located right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It was originally incomplete but I added the rest of the category contents prior to nominating. - RevelationDirect (talk)

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Construction
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The Order of Construction is an Iranian award for building construction, economic development and civil engineering projects. If the articles in this category were full of construction company owners, building project managers and architects, this would likely be defining. However, 6 of the 7 articles were high ranking officials who backed construction projects as part of their political position and are all already under either Category:Government ministers of Iran or Category:Iranian governors. (The only exception is Abolghasem Mozaffari, a military leader whose article gives no hint as to why he won the award.) The articles in the category are about evenly split between those that mention the award in passing and those that don't mention it at all so it doesn't seem defining. There is already a list of the winners, most of which are redlinks, right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
