  • Propose renaming Category:Scholars by religion to Category:Religious scholars by topic
Nominator's rationale: rename to align with parent Category:Religious scholars and sibling Category:Religious scholars by nationality. This is not a speedy rename because I changed the parent from Category:Scholars to Category:Religious scholars myself a few days ago. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:09, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Middle East respiratory syndrome to Category:MERS
Nominator's rationale: Per the results of this RM discussion, the MERS article was moved to its present title, yet this category has not been. For the sake of consistency, I believe it should follow suit. Love of Corey (talk) 18:03, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: A category for games on the rotating subscription based video game service PlayStation Plus. These games come and go, some with limited availability. Not a WP:CATDEF whatsoever. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:59, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category for games available for the cloud streaming gaming service Amazon Luna. As CoolingGibbon stated, it is not an independent platform, but a service. To make a comparison, imagine seeing Category: Films on Netflix. Furthermore, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Amazon Luna games recently resulted in deletion, this category was created shortly thereafter. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:57, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Defunct subscription cloud gaming service by PlayStation, changed into the revamped PlayStation Plus. It had (and the current PlayStation Plus has) a rotating selection of available games. Was never suitable and now it's gone even more so. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:44, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is to ensure there is consistency with all other categories of People by nationality. The American variant of these category has already been altered. We are as well to do the same with the others. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 11:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: None of the individual members of this category were actually proposed states, i.e. intended as a sovereign government. Instead, they would better fit in Category:Settlement schemes.--Pharos (talk) 04:38, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
