- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:48, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Previously discussed many years ago at this CfD. Although consensus can change, I believe the rationale to delete from the original discussion remains valid. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:10, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Please specify your rationale Chchcheckit (talk) 22:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- "This is categorisation by a trivial characteristic."
- "Many of these recordings will have been made without the knowledge that they would be the last one."
- "I could see the posthumous albums making their way in."
- "Death [of an artist] clearly indicates nothing."
- And specifically to the broadness of the final musical releases category, no one can ever know what a final release is much less it being a defining aspect of the album. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Belgian chroniclers
- Propose renaming Category:Belgian chroniclers to Category:Flemish chroniclers
- Nominator's rationale: These are all mediaeval people and mostly described as Flemish. Rathfelder (talk) 18:31, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Front de libération du Québec members. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This cell of the FLQ is long gone and by definition will never have many more notable members than it currently does (4). User:Namiba 17:30, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Music memes
- Nominator's rationale: This seems to be a non-defining categorization with its current name. An attempt in 2018 to rename the category to something more defining resulted in no consensus.
- I think "Songs in internet memes" or "Songs in memes" makes the defining characteristic less ambiguous and more exact. However, if going into anything more specific is not advisable, I would not be against blowing it up and starting over as the cat has existed for 8 years. – The Grid (talk) 17:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I feel like Category:Musical internet memes would be a better name as the songs themselves are what are usually what is the meme in the first place. Rockford the Roe boop my snoot pet the goats 16:29, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not a defining characteristic of these songs. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not a defining characteristic. I don't think any proposition is better than WP:TNT. --Muhandes (talk) 19:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename sjh (talk) 13:20, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This type of information seems better conveyed in list form, like in List of viral music videos, List of viral videos, or List of Internet phenomena. bibliomaniac15 04:50, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:58, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Propose deleting Category:Palatinate of Lotharingia
- Nominator's rationale:
merge delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. There isn't even a main article. Merging is not needed, the subcategory is already part of Category:Lotharingian people. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:56, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably merge -- I think this is the right solution, but it will be necessary to consider how to prevent this merger upsetting the structure of the parents.
Would a reverse merge of Category:Lotharingia be better? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Easter traditions by country
- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with a single subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. More sibling subcategories can and likely will be created in the future. We often start with one. The parent category has 60+ entries, it's easy to see that several other countries can have similar categories. Category:Christmas traditions by country is a good example of where this can end up in a little while. If you ask nicely instead of trying to take us a step back, I can help create and sort some entries. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:11, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Categorization by country is a common way to do things, and I think it can be informative in this case, too. The fact that there is only one entry seems simply due to the fact that noone has started it earlier. Looking at Category:Easter traditions, there are a number of them where categories for other countries would make sense. In fact I have just created one for Germany, as there was already a tradition there. Daranios (talk) 08:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Please do not create a category for a single article. There should be at least a handful. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Marcocapelle: Thanks, good point. But together we have found now four entries. And I think this category does have potential for expansion (with WP:SMALL being the only guideline I have seen so far which councils against the creation of categories with very few members), as e.g. Easter bread, Easter fire, Easter egg and Egg hunt all have sections referring the respective versions of the traditions in Germany, and de:Kategorie:Brauchtum (Ostern) has a number of entries specific to Germany which do not yet have an English translation. Daranios (talk) 10:26, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - there are not enough articles for a 'by country' scheme. Easter egg should certainly not be put in any country categories. Oculi (talk) 13:08, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Given CfDs massive backlog, the time this discussion will be open is sufficient for any creation of new categories to take place. If no more such categories are created by the time this discussion is closed, then it should be merged. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- There was enough content to create categories for Italy and Greece... so now we have more categories :P Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- No there is not, they only contain 2 articles. Revert creation of these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Category:City councillors
- Propose renaming Category:City councillors to Category:Councillors
- Propose renaming Category:Women city councillors to Category:Women councillors
- Nominator's rationale: Many of the subcategories include councillors from places which are not cities. The anchor article is Councillor. Rathfelder (talk) 09:59, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose the article "councillor" covers various different types of councillor. If these categories are to be not a grabbag of various kinds of councillor, they should keep "city" in their names. Or if you want to broaden it a little, it could be called "municipal". But there are other forms of councillor that are not related to urban or settle areas, like county councillors, which would include rural regions. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 17:08, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Merging to Category:Local political office-holders by country is fine by me -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- They are already "a grabbag of various kinds of councillor", including plenty of county councillors. If we want to differentiate them that needs to be done on a country basis. What counts as a city varies from country to country and over time as does the structure of local government. Or possibly the whole thing should be merged into Category:Local political office-holders by country. Rathfelder (talk) 10:34, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Alt rename to "municipal councillors" per anon and per several of the subcategories. Municipal is broad enough for the content that is currently in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:59, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Category:Local political office-holders by country per Rathfelder. "City" only tends to be a generic term for an urban area in North America. In most parts of the world most urban settlements are actually towns. But many of the people in these categories aren't even town councillors. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:40, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do not object against merging per se, but then all country subcategories should be merged too. Otherwise we will have one merged top category with two subcategories per country. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:07, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I am striking my previous comment as I realize that in every country city councillors may become or remain a subcategory of local office-holders. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:45, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- I think some of the country categories are properly called city councillors. What counts as a city varies between countries. Rathfelder (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Mass psychogenic illness
- Nominator's rationale: merge (or reverse merge), the two topics are mostly overlapping. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bell towers in France
- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. The list contains a few links to French city halls, but there aren't any stand alone articles about bell towers. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Category:User hak-0
Category:Video games featuring parallel universes
Category:Card battle video games
Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 May 2#Category:Card battle video games
Crowd collapses and crushes
- Nominator's rationale: merge, not yet enough content to diffuse, after merging the top category will consist of 5 articles, one redirect and one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Semantics (linguistics)
- Nominator's rationale: Same topic, there's no need to have two categories. The computer science subfield is already differentiated at Category:Programming language semantics and Category:Semantics is full of natural language pages. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 13:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
