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]

  • 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]

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.

  • 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]
  • 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]

Category:Mass psychogenic illness

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:Video games featuring parallel universes

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: speedy rename. WP:C2C applies; compare Category:Anime and manga about parallel universes‎, Category:Comics about parallel universes‎, Category:Fictional characters from parallel universes‎, Category:Films about parallel universes‎, Category:Novels about parallel universes‎, and Category:Short stories about parallel universes‎ in the Category:Parallel universes in fiction category tree. (non-admin closure) 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 18:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only category of this type that uses "featuring" rather than "about". It should not contain games where parallel universes are not an integral aspect of the gameplay or plot. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:56, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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]
