Nominator's rationale: Delete The most common form of corporate organization in The Netherlands is certainly WP:NOTDEFINING for any of the companies in this category (as well as the many hundreds of others that in theory should be in this category): same reason we do not have Category:Limited liability companies or Category:Public limited companies.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Medieval Persian-language writers. bibliomaniac15 02:53, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is huge confusion between Iranian and Persian categories. This is intended to clarify. If it is agreed then we can speedily rename the poet and writer categories which are divided by century. We may need to keep some of the Iranian categories, as they may not all be writing in Persian.

@Mzajac and VoidWanderer: As past editors, I welcome your participation. Charles Essie (talk) 20:40, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying you want a category for Russian military personnel of the war in Donbas? Charles Essie (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, in the 19th century the country Azerbaijan did not exist yet, nor was there a region Azerbaijan where the current republic is. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:18, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:07, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_January_20#Category:14th-century_Azerbaijani_poets, where there was consensus to delete "Azerbaijani" biography categories for 18th century and earlier. – Fayenatic London 11:16, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Classical mystics

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Neoplatonist mystics and keep. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:25, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, these are Neoplatonist philosophers who are already in Category:Neoplatonists. It is a bit odd to call them "mystics" if only because that word is usually associated with religion rather than with philosophy. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:54, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 10:24, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ok, a Neoplatonist intersection may be reasonable. Then, instead, rename to Category:Neoplatonist mystics. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:17, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ethnic Azerbaijani Shia Muslims

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 to Category:Iranian Azerbaijanis. bibliomaniac15 02:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, trivial intersection of ethnicity and religion, double violation of WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Presumably some "Ethnic Azerbaijani Shia Muslims" are from Azerbaijan or other countries, not Iran? May need some care with merging (t · c) buidhe 08:27, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Will it make sense to merge it to this category Category:Azerbaijani Shia Muslims - Wikipedia? Abrvagl (talk) 06:13, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so, because that one feeds in parent categories exclusively pertaining to people from the Republic of Azerbaijan. The entries listed in Category:Ethnic Azerbaijani Shia Muslims on the other hand are exclusively people from Iran. - LouisAragon (talk) 17:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Currently Category:Azerbaijani Shia Muslims - Wikipedia reflects people from Republics of Azerbaijan, however, it is Azerbaijani, not Azerbaijan Shia Muslims. Do not see anything that can stop us from merging Category:Ethnic Azerbaijani Shia Muslims to it. Opposite to that, by merging it to Category:Iranian Azerbaijanis we actually loosing the the categorization, as Iranian Azerbaijanis is just general list without categorization.

Iranian Azerbaijanis by occupation

The result of the discussion was: merge all. bibliomaniac15 02:53, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersections of occupations with ethnicity. With respect to writers specifically, many of them are Persian-language writers and if they are not then they are already in Category:Azerbaijani-language writers. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:39, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support all these. Rathfelder (talk) 21:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:WikiProject Atheism/Participants to Category:WikiProject Atheism members
