  • Propose merging Category:Officials of the medieval Islamic world to Category:Medieval government officials
  • Propose renaming Category:Viziers of the medieval Islamic world to Category:Medieval viziers
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 August 31#Category:Viziers of the medieval Islamic world (closed as no consensus). As closer suggested, we should start over. The basic argument remains the same: the "medieval Islamic world" was not a "country", but we can rearrange these categories as part of the Category:Medieval people by occupation tree. I did all the preparatory work this time, following Marcocapelle's successful Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 August 18#Heads of government. I created Category:Medieval government officials as the merge target and populated and parented it already, as well as creating the new Category:Government officials by century tree to go along with it.

Nominator's rationale: 1 article (Wilhelm Hendrik Franquinet) for which this is not defining. This 3-line biography tells us that Franquinet, born in Maastricht in 1785, educated in Antwerp, lived and worked in Maastricht in from 1804 to 1816, and settled in Paris in 1816. I doubt that the gap between the formation of the UK of the Netherlands in September 1815 and an unknwown date in 1816 allows us to consider that the nominated category appropriately describes someone that was, in fact, French before and after this "emigration".

The result of the discussion was: dual merge to Category:Vietnamese families and Category:Political families. Nom proposed splitting, but then called for upmerging; given that there is only a single page in the category that would belong in both merge targets I am taking the distinction between a split and a dual merge to be semantics. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: At first I thought that this recently created category was a duplicate of existing Category:Enforced disappearances in Chile, but the four articles there are in fact more generic to the Chile dictatorship rather than just the disappearances: 1973 Chilean coup d'état, Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional, Human rights abuses in Chile under Augusto Pinochet, Military dictatorship of Chile.

The result of the discussion was: delete without prejudice against recreation if it can be populated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:09, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Improperly-named WP:SMALLCAT that was created just to hold one template that consists almost entirely of redlinks. Even if this were warranted, the template's naming as ((Alentejo Line stations)) cleary indicates that the topic has an English-language name, which would in turn mean that any category for it would also have to use that English-language name rather than a Portuguese name -- so no prejudice against future recreation of a Category:Alentejo Line once there are at least five things to file in it, but the category shouldn't be named in Portuguese and isn't needed just to hold a single template.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Films set in Tamil Nadu without prejudice against recreation if it can be populated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:09, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT created for just one film. As always, every place that exists does not automatically get its own dedicated "films set in [there]" the moment one film exists to file in it -- there would have to be at least five films to file here before a category was justified, and below five the films should just be categorized at the Tamil Nadu level. Navigation of the Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively winnowing everything down into narrow microcategories of one. Bearcat (talk) 04:12, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a small town without the volume of spinoff content needed to justify an eponymous category. The only thing that's been filed here is one event that certainly affected the town but wasn't limited to only that town alone, and the only other possible contents (based on a scan of the town's "what links here") are the town itself and one high school in it -- but that would only be three things, still falling short of the five things it takes to warrant an eponymous category.

Nominator's rationale: Triple intersections of nationality, occupation and ethnicity, each created solely to overcategorize one or two people. Per WP:CATEGRS, people are not typically defined by this intersection of traits -- there isn't, for instance, any particular evidence that lawyers of Lebanese descent do the job differently than lawyers of Italian, Japanese, German, Finnish or Indonesian descent do, or that musicians of Nigerian descent sing differently than musicians of Ghanaian, Congolese or Liberian descent.
