Propose splitting Category:Tanganyikan suffragists to Category:Suffragists and Category:People from Tanganyika

Nominator's rationale: This country existed for less than a decade. It doesn't need to be diffuse by type of activist yet. Mason (talk) 22:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tanganyika existed from 1916 until 1961 (initially as a colony, then as an independent country). Number 5 7 23:16, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for now without objection to recreate the category when more articles are published. But only merge to Category:Suffragists because the article is already deeper down in the tree of Category:People from Tanganyika. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Solomon Islands men by occupation to Category:Solomon Islands men

Nominator's rationale: Upermerge for now. Not helpful category for navigation with only one occupation in it Mason (talk) 23:26, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete, it would remain the only subcategory of the target too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle, are you suggesting Category:Solomon Islands men be deleted as well? Qwerfjkltalk 10:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The consequence of deleting Category:Solomon Islands men by occupation is leaving Category:Solomon Islands men empty, that is right. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:01, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Propose merging Category:Community colleges in the British Virgin Islands to Category:Educational organisations based in the British Virgin Islands, Category:Community colleges in British Overseas Territories and Category:Universities and colleges in the Caribbean

Propose deleting Category:Universities and colleges in the Americas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not a useful category. Both categories are already present in Category:Universities and colleges by continent. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom Mason (talk) 21:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:British military personnel of the Dhofar Rebellion to Category:British military personnel of the Dhofar War

Propose merging Category:Ophthalmic conditions emphasizing symbolism to Category:Cultural depictions of disabled people

Nominator's rationale: Not defining. Could be repurposed to Cultural depictions of people with eye diseases or something like that Mason (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is not about disability per se. What about Category:Fiction about eye diseases? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very confusingly named category. Going by the members, it seems the actual intention was something like "weird eyes in fiction". I don't think that's something that warrants a category, so just delete. The single subcat Category:Fictional characters with eye diseases is already adequately under Category:Fictional characters with physical and congenital disorders. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would not oppose deletion either. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Bookstores of Ireland to Category:Bookshops of Ireland

Nominator's rationale: This category should be worded in Irish English, which uses the term "bookshop" rather than "bookstore". The "bookshops" term is used in Category:Bookshops of the United Kingdom, Category:Bookshops of Scotland, Category:Bookshops of England and Category:Bookshops of Australia because that is the term used in those countries. The same logic should apply to Ireland. Gatepainter (talk) 15:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:American football teams disestablished in 1932 to Category:Sports clubs and teams disestablished in 1932

Nominator's rationale: Only one subject present in this category Let'srun (talk) 15:16, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Now it has three - and from my past research, there are certainly to be more notable entries that can be added once they're created; our coverage of early non-NFL professional football is poor. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:56, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Buildings and structures in Burundi by city (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Propose merging Category:Buildings and structures in Gitega (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Gitega

Propose merging Category:Works about cannibals to Category:Works about cannibalism

Nominator's rationale: Obviously a redundant and unnecessary category, as works about cannibalism would by necessity feature cannibals (and vice versa). silviaASH (inquire within) 10:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Crimes in the Irish Free State by decade to Category:Crimes in the Irish Free State

Nominator's rationale: Rename to Crimes in the Irish Free State. There's no need to distinguish by decade, when there isn't even a main category Mason (talk) 02:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just delete the subcategory, after I just added the article to Category:1921 crimes in Ireland. I will tag the subcategory too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support deletion per above. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aidan721, @Marcocapelle, I assume you're proposing deleting both. Is that correct? Qwerfjkltalk 17:10, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Qwerfjkl: yes, correct, once the subcategory is deleted the nominated category will be empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Diplomatic missions in Bridgetown to Category:Diplomatic missions in Barbados and Category:Bridgetown

Nominator's rationale: Narrow intersection. Unlikely to reasonably grow in the near future. Currently only has one article. –Aidan721 (talk) 02:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom, but only to Category:Diplomatic missions in Barbados. Categorizing a diplomatic mission by location is unnecessary when the location is the country's capital. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:25, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Ecosocialist parties to Category:Eco-socialist parties

Nominator's rationale: Grammatical correction. The correct spelling is "eco-socialist", which is also consistent with the main Wikipedia page for this, namely "Eco-socialism". Helper201 (talk) 01:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the procedure now for this. Will it get moved into speedy by someone else like an admin or via an automated process? If I have to do it, do I have to wait for this to officially be closed before I can nominate if for a speedy rename? Helper201 (talk) 04:24, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
