The subcats using "by first language" are now being renamed to "by language", see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 20#Category:Canadian people by first language & following, after which the justification for this category layer will fall away. – Fayenatic London 09:28, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Opelousas Historic District
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT, WP:MFN, and the spirit of WP:C2F, one eponymous page
The Opelousas Historic District article lists plenty of buildings, but the category seems unlikely to ever be viable because only two of them are probably notable: Old Federal Building (Opelousas, Louisiana) and Opelousas City Hall, each of which is individually listed on the National Register of Historical Places. If I'm wrong and enough articles ever appear to make this category well populated, no objection to recreation at that time. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 17:48, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting Category:Things named after Charles de Gaulle
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING, WP:SHAREDNAME, & WP:OCASSOC
The Category:Charles de Gaulle is for articles with a WP:DEFINING association with Charles de Gaulle while this category seems to be for non-defining associations. All these article are things that would have been built anyway so they're not defined by the specific name they ended up with and the contents are already in List of things named after Charles de Gaulle for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:08, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is like having a category named "Category:Period of Mayan rule in USA". At this time, Azerbaijan was not a name used in the Caucasus, and Azerbaijanis were not even close forming an ethnonym, let alone a nation. WP:RS is unanimous on this [1] [2] [3] HistoryofIran (talk) 02:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
