The result of the discussion was: rename all. bibliomaniac15 07:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Consistency with the name of the parent (region) category. Of course the parent (region) categories themselves don't have consistent names, so perhaps we should consider renaming those parents first/also. Mitch Ames (talk) 23:30, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category created by new editor to be added to a stub with the same name. This is a potential article subject (which is up for AfD), not a category of multiple article subjects. Singularity42 (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 10:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: User:Munmula recently split off individual cryptocurrencies into the newly created Category:Cryptocurrency projects‎, with the apparent intention of having the parent become a topic category covering the broader subject. "Cryptocurrency projects" reads awkwardly and is a bit confusing, though. The usual way of doing things would be to have the parent topic category in singular form, and the set category for individual cryptocurrencies in plural. Paul_012 (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One thing to consider: Some of them are not exactly cryptocurrencies, but platforms (like Ethereum) or tokens (like Shiba Inu (cryptocurrency)), so "cryptocurrency projects" is a broader term that encompasses all of them. - Munmula (talk), second account of Alumnum 18:21, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Bacillota stubs. bibliomaniac15 07:11, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The informal name of this phylum ("Firmicutes") has been replaced by a valid name for this phylum (Bacillota).[1]. The stub category name should reflect this nomenclatural update.</nowiki>. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 06:22, 2 February 2022 (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: delete. bibliomaniac15 07:14, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The issue with these is that they aren't really defining categories. These categories are a collection of ships named after the location, named after locations in the city, and named after people from the state. There's no real connection between the ships based on this. For instance, looking in the Louisiana category, there's no real connection at all between USS Errol (AG-133) and USS New Orleans (CA-32) and USS Beverly W. Reid. Ship names are the sort of thing that get SIA/dab pages, not categories, because there's no real connection between ships whose names happen to be related to a specific place.

Nominator's rationale: Not very well defined category. While some governments are traditionally called totalitarian, in many cases it is difficult to spit the hair. For example into this category someone included Hirohito, enough said. Loew Galitz (talk) 04:44, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 17:28, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Two pages, Sulli Deals and Bulli Bai case, have used this category. Its usage at Sulli Deals is misleading since no sources make the connection. Whereas only one article from contributor (not staff) from Vice.com has alleged a tenuous and dubious connection by writing "Police linked the suspected auction creators to a neo-Nazi-inspired alt-right group".[3] The category should be deleted for lacking any meaningful context and even if there was a meaning, still, WP:SMALLCAT applies. 27.57.181.26 (talk) 04:41, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with you is that you don't understand its meaning. The source itself speaks of nothing more than a small online community of anonymous trolls. That does not serve the purpose for a definitive 'Neo-Nazism' in India, an ideology that is "seek to employ their ideology to promote hatred and white supremacy, attack racial and ethnic minorities (which include antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state". That is not possible in India. To give you a stronger example, look at Nation of Islam which has praised Hitler and aligned with neo-nazi movements, but no one would categorize them as 'neo-nazi'. 27.57.181.26 (talk) 06:32, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
