Nominator's rationale: All subcategories are about hereditary monarchs, namely caliphs, kings, sultans, pharaohs, and emirs. This is helpful to distinguish them from various other people who were heads of state/govt, but not hereditary, like Abd el-Krim. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Egyptians got it Order of the Rising Sun to Category:?
Nominator's rationale: Improperly named category. I don't know enough about the Order of the Rising Sun to know if this category is actually warranted or not, but this definitely would not be its correct name. Bearcat (talk) 15:20, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only 3 articles (one of which I have WP:AFDed), and no likely target articles will be created. The team article is already in parent article, and the stadium article seems like a bad target for that category, so delete seems better than upmerge to me.

Nominator's rationale: The T20 Blast has had many names since 2003, but it is the same tournament. So these two categories should be merged, and renamed to Category:T20 Blast as that is the tournament's current name. In addition, the subcategories for the seasons and finals should be merged and renamed similarly. Note that we merged all the articles for this tournament together into T20 Blast in 2018, so doing the same for categories should be uncontroversial. Let me know if I've formatted this incorrectly.

Nominator's rationale: Has somehow been around since 2005, but that doesn't change the fact that this is far too broad to facilitate collaboration. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:01, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Wikipedians interested in wildflower identification (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Somewhat to my surprise, there's no article (or any significant mainspace content I could find) on wildflower identification. Without any mainspace content to anchor it a user category inherently has no collaborative value. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:58, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All three people in it are actually called "governors", which are not "rulers", because they are not sovereign, nor hereditary. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:54, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C: the child "Rulers of the Kingdom of Marwar" was recently renamed to Category:Monarchs of Marwar, because "monarch" was deemed more specific; all other subcats (most of them named "Maharajas of") are also in Category:Hindu monarchs, so they are already identified as "monarchs". I recommend leaving a redirect to prevent re-creation and duplication. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:47, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT: 1 item. WP:CATDD: Don't add pages to non-neutral or unverifiable categories. As the cat description says, Dates are based on the Biblical literalist chronology, which is in violation of WP:V, WP:RS, WP:OR, and WP:NPOV.
