The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Superman video games and Category:Batman video games as proposed. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 17:44, 14 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Arcade games are a type of video game, therefore this category naming isn't standard. Simply "video games" will suffice. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Rename per the rationale. Reduces redundancy and upholds consistency. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 18:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Former populated places in Iowa. This applies to both Category:Former cities in Iowa and Category:Former municipalities in Iowa. bibliomaniac15 04:51, 28 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Former cities in Iowa to Category:Former municipalities in Iowa
Nominator's rationale: A city is essentially a municipality. A quick Google search shows the legal definition to be similar for Iowa – The Grid (talk) 17:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Support merging both per Peterkingiron, I will tag the other category too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 15 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Architects from the Russian Empire. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale We have Category:Architects from Georgia (country) and Category:Architects from Northern Ireland, so the place+from form works. When we use "of" with architects, it normally refers to what they designed. Although this would be a different use of architect than how we use it in categorization, referring to people who create a country as the "architects" of it is sometimes done, so the current name is possibly confusing, and the alternative name is much more clear. We have several sister categories that use the "foo from the Russian Empire" when the "of" form would lead to confusion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This naming convention is in line with the majority of the others in Category:Members of the Odisha Legislative Assembly by term. Other Indian states also follow this convention, e.g. Category:Members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly by term -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Ninilchik is a very small town (less than 900 inhabitants) so I'm recommending an upmerge to Category:People from Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska on the basis of WP:SMALLCAT. Pichpich (talk) 21:06, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
