The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:26, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Monuments and memorials to Gabriel Johnston to Category:Gabriel Johnston
Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT ★Trekker (talk) 19:27, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair point, but the article is in Category:Gabriel Johnston anyway, because he initiated the building of the fort. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, so there's not a practical difference between delete and merge anyway. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:41, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:History of Salvador, Bahia. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:26, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. You are welcomed to nominate some small categories in Category:Crime in Brazil as well Estopedist1 (talk) 19:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle, I think you are unintentionally upholding a systematic bias towards Anglophone and European countries with that assertion. See WP:GLOBAL. If we were to actually look for sources on crime in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil in the Portuguese language and in sources available through academic presses in Brazil, I think you would find plenty of potential topics in this category for article creation. The potential for growth is there. The likelihood of growth being small on the English language wiki is a reflection of a preference for Anglophone and European content and not an actual reflection on the potential of content that would pass NCRIME. We shouldn't be making category deletions which feed into systemized biases.4meter4 (talk) 23:55, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not I who has this bias, it is all editors on en.wp together. Far more articles are written with Anglophone content. Consequently American and British categories need more granularity in categories than other countries of similar size. This isn't any different on en.wp than in other Wikipedias, by the way.

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCAWARD; was used in an WP:OSE argument at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 May 28#Category:Governor General's Performing Arts Award winners. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:20, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I originally closed this as delete. After some discussion on my talk page, I believe it is more appropriate to relist this discussion. If there is not consensus to delete the category, it should be restored when this discussion is closed.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 16:54, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When an award category is deleted, there is often consensus to create a list if there is not already one. I was just clarifying that a list already existed so that work didn't need to be done. The existence of a list is not a reason for deletion though. The second part of WP:OCAWARD does a good job on this topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:05, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mayors of cities in China

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) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:32, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Large cluster of one, two or three item WP:SMALLCATs for mayors of towns and cities in China. As always, a town or city does not get its own dedicated "mayors of place" category the moment there's one mayor of that place with a Wikipedia article: mayors are not "inherently" notable per WP:NPOL, and instead get articles only if they clear conditional notability standards such as high levels of sourceability and/or having also held another more notable political office at some other time in their careers, so mayor categories are not eligible for the "realistic potential for growth" exemption in SMALLCAT. So a "mayors of city" category may exist only if four or five articles about mayors of that city already exist, and at one, two or three articles they are to be filed only at the country or first-order divisional levels. Bearcat (talk) 14:56, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That would probably be a valid approach, but it's best handled by people who are knowledgeable about China, and would probably be a trainwreck if we tried to start it here. Bearcat (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm open to that approach. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:15, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not every place in China has its own mayors category, there are dozens of articles in the parent category. Nor should there be a mayors category for every place in China because it merely leads to a very thinly populated tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:48, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Fair trade schools
Nominator's rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEFINING
Fair trade means paying more to suppliers based on ethical considerations and the intersection with that topic and these schools varies quote a bit. Wellsway School makes sure "fair Trade coffee, tea and sugar are used in the staff room and other products sold in the school canteen", Skipton High has "Fair Trade FairAchiever status" which might be some sort of certification, St. Catherine's set the world record for how many fair trade bananas could be eaten in a single day, while St. Cyres has an entire section on the topic that is well sourced. I'm unsure if this intersection is notable enough for an article, but it doesn't seem defining enough for a category. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:32, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT
There's 1 one article in this category, California Academy of Tauromaquia, and I could only find 1 other with any secondary coverage: this one in Madrid. There are definitely some others programs out there but I don't think they're notable or even really "schools": someone gives a class in Houston and I can't figure out where this coaching program is based. No objection to recreation if I'm mistaken and 5+ articles ever materialize. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Conductive education schools
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING or WP:SMALLCAT
Conductive education is a special education approach for people with motor disorders, while this category only has 3 articles, there's no shortage of schools that use it: here's a directory for the US. The issue with this category is that most schools use this approach for small number of students that need it, but that's one of many educational aspects of the school and Cashmere High School is pretty representative. The other 2 articles are Addington School, which is probably defined by the association, and the Conductive Education School, Kuwait, which is definitely defined by this category but that article would have a rough time in AFD. I don't anticipate a category that is both defining and well populated. I added the last two articles to the see also section of the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
