Very poor rationale since the number of tornadoes in those two provinces will increase with time. This looks the biased view of an American about Canada. Pierre cb (talk) 05:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:EGRS/I: Do not create categories that intersect a particular topic (such as occupation, place of residence, or other such characteristics), with an ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, unless these characteristics are relevant to that topic. This intersection of religion and occupation is not defining. Edward-Woodrow • talk 17:21, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCEGRS: Do not create categories that intersect a particular topic (such as occupation, place of residence, or other such characteristics), with an ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, unless these characteristics are relevant to that topic. Gender is not defining for businesspeople, and, given the size of this category, it would be best to upmerge to the parent category. Unnecessary overcategorization.

Nominator's rationale: This category seems to exist for editors who use one particular userbox which right now is one editor. The category is uncategorized so I'm not sure where it fits into User template categories and whether or not this is a proper use. I don't know whether there is the likelihood of expansion. Liz Read!

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Packet boat. The RM at Talk:Packet_boat#Requested_move_(#2)_24_September_2023 agreed to keep the article at the current title. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Packet (sea transport) to Category:Packets
Nominator's rationale: These vessels were known as "packets". When used in inland and coastal waterways they were known as packet boats. When used on trans-Atlantic routes they were known as packet ships. Several of the vessels listed in this category are disambiguated as "packet." Gjs238 (talk) 14:32, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • C2D does not apply, as the article was unilaterally moved. There is currently an RM going on. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:03, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Some time ago, the articles Packet ship & Packet (sea transport) (two article names referring to the same thing) were merged into Packet boat. But the category Category:Packet (sea transport) was never revised after the article merge. Propose to rename the category to match the eponymous article name.
