The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Wikimedians of Colorado User Group participants. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anti-Muhajir violence

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 22:15, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Actually, there's nothing to merge since all articles in the smaller categories are already in Category:Persecution of Muhajirs. It's also important to note that the Muhajir are by definition in Pakistan so the phrase "Anti-Muhajir violence in Pakistan" is a pleonasm, much like "Anti-African-American violence in the United States" would be.

Category:Sportspeople of Oceanian descent

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: recent proliferation of tiny categories with unusual and irrelevant hierarchical organization. Wikipedia:Category naming does not provide for by region encapsulating by country.
Summary: There's no rhyme nor reason for this convoluted tree, entangled with others, very few articles. Continuing removals after categories were emptied by previous discussions.
Followup to:
  1. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 January 14#Category:Oceanian sportspeople by ethnic or national origin result delete.

  • You really should read articles before hastily citing them. [B]ig problems loom over a system that treats these men as little more than trafficked commodities. White saviour plantation managers and Mormon elders nurtured future generations of football stars. Apparently, these authors view work in the cane fields to be nurturing, and hopefully will have an opportunity to personally experience it.[sarcasm] Future generations became Hawaiʻian Americans. WP:COP-HERITAGE Great-grandchildren are never of "descent". We don't seem to have a Category:Sportspeople of Māori descent either, because they are already New Zealand citizens. It is sad that some Kiwis want to "other" the minority Māori, and note that they dominate football there ("now looks like high-edge blackbirding"). But there's no good reason to do that in our category structure. Note, this is not discussing deleting Category:Sportspeople of Samoan descent or Category:Sportspeople of Tongan descent.

  • Propose renaming Category:Sports competitions in Mahshahr to Category:Sports competitions in Khuzestan Province
Nominator's rationale: Rename to the province-level. Mahshahr is ambiguous so rename is required even if decided to keep at this level. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:11, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: containerise. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: containerize, the articles directly in this category have nothing in common with each other of encyclopedic value. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ultimately they can perhaps all be containerized but that is currently difficult to foresee as it will surely require a lot of prep work first. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hotels in the Muskokas

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCATs for just two or three hotels each on an overly granular geographic distinction. Category:Hotels in Ontario has subcategories for its two largest metropolitan cities (i.e. Toronto and Ottawa), but does not otherwise have a comprehensive scheme of subcategorizing all of its hotels by individual county or district -- and with Toronto and Ottawa already chunked out as it is, there are only 20 articles left in the parent category and thus subcatting them all down to the county or district level would not aid navigation.
Note that the merge targets are slightly different: Muskoka only needs upmerging to the Muskoka buildings and structures category as its three articles are all already double-catted in Category:Hotels in Ontario alongside this, while Waterloo only needs upmerging to the province-level category as its two entries are already in their appropriate "buildings and structures in city" parent and don't need the county-level category next to that.
It simply does not aid navigation to obsessively subcategorize everything down to highly granularized categories of just two or three articles per county. Bearcat (talk) 20:59, 24 February 2023 (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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:05, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category for just five people on the basis of family genealogy. As always, the fact that four or five people with Wikipedia articles happen to be related to each other is not a legitimate or WP:DEFINING basis for a category in and of itself -- the grounds for a category like this would be that the people were regularly grouped together as a subject of collective coverage about the group as a group, not just that they happen to be ancestors or descendants of other people in the category.

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:06, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories require 60 articles before they can be created, and are not free for just any user to create willy nilly -- but there are only three articles here, and no evidence of 57 other articles that can be added to get it over the minimum size hump.
