The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Dutch brewers. Because the nominated category contains only one member, whether this is a single or dual merge is a matter of semantics that would be pointless to discuss for another week. I will add Cornelis Boudewijns to both Category:Dutch brewers and Category:Businesspeople from the Dutch Republic, as the article belongs in both categories.

Nominator's rationale: Bahrain Bourse (BHB) is the only licensed stock exchange of the Kingdom of Bahrain source. We don't need a category for a single entry. Uhooep (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 20:01, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire so a separate descent category is not very meaningful in this case. "Albanian" is not defining for the one article in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I do wonder if creating a redirect to People of Albanian descent OR Albanian people from the Ottoman Empire, might be helpful in discouraging the page's recreation Mason (talk) 14:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
