Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category. If the decision is to keep the "educators" name, then we should merge and then rename, given that the other category is a decade older Mason (talk) 14:42, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Fictional tubers

Nominator's rationale: Only one article/subcategory here that is actually properly categorized, and they're also in another category within the same group. Unnecessarily specific category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Move to Category:Tubers in popular culture - that should be a better name for the category. (Oinkers42) (talk) 18:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    There is not even a Category:Vegetables in popular culture, only a Category:Works about plants; making one specifically for tubers would seem a little overspecific. I'd support a merge to "works about plants" though. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep. This was a 30-year college football program; there will be more seasons that are notable and will be created in the future; there is also an accepted categorization scheme that all college football teams with seasons should have categories.

Copy of speedy Cfd

Western Samoa

Nominator's rationale: Even though the name Western Samoa was used until 1997, all other categories after 1961 use "Samoa", see 20th-century establishments in Samoa and 20th century in Samoa. – Fayenatic London 13:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not an expert by any means, but a look on the National Library of New Zealand's Papers Past website (NZ and Samoa are quite connected, even after independence in 1962) seems to suggest that "Samoa" was used to refer to Western Samoa reasonably often. ― novov (t c) 03:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Transgender prostitutes

Nominator's rationale: Possibly due as a broader topic, as well as being the preferred terminology in newer sources. GnocchiFan (talk) 20:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not all sex workers are prostitutes. Apokrif (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Agreed, but all prostitutes are sex workers, which is why I am proposing the merge that way around. I mention that this is the preferred terminology as in many newer sources, trans prostitutes are routinely described as sex workers instead of prostitutes, which may lead to issues in categorisation and WP:OR. But that's just an additional consideration - the main thing here is that is this a big enough topic to split into two separate but interrelated categories at this point? (Personally, I am on the fence on this, but proposing the merge to seek further editor input). - GnocchiFan (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Development of individual fictional characters

Nominator's rationale: Not sure how many articles used to be here, but a single article does not a category make. This should probably be removed as it is no longer relevant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Merge into Category:Development of specific works - I found one additional article for this category (Development of Bugs Bunny). However, that would still be too small of a category. Creating this category, however, would allow it to contain other articles such as Development of the DC Extended Universe, as well as allow it to be a parent to both Category:Production of specific films and Category:Development of specific video games.

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. (non-admin closure) Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I speedied this to "Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean" per previous Cfd but it reversed for some reason. While I initially preferred the rename to Category:Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean to match all in its parent categories I realize now that most of these places are still under Dutch control so I'm not sure if this would count as a "diaspora".

Category:Captive people

Nominator's rationale: "Captive" is so vague as to clearly violate WP:NONDEF. In the real life version it could be seen as an invitation for biased category additions based on one's subjective interpretation of what a "captive" is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose, this is not as vague or "non-defining" as you claim. Both of these categories are simple in definition, and it is more of a defacto container category. What all of these subcategories within have in common are just people who were legally or illegally captured by other people. There is nothing confusing about the scale or scope of them. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I should note that there is a specific template to indicate something's a container category, which this wasn't marked with. However, even so, I don't think it is large enough to require such a category and would qualify as a narrow intersection. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Establishment category Indian state

Nominator's rationale: To match ((establishment category Indian state)) (which for transparency I WP:BOLDMOVE'd to its current location from ((estcatIndiastate)) per WP:TPN; that is also why I am avoiding WP:C2D). HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Phytogeographers

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. These are small categories that doesn't need to be diffused by nationality, yet. Mason (talk) 02:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:International universities

Nominators' rationale: duplicate categories with no clear difference. Rename the first category per its own parents, and as it contains both universities and colleges. The difference between a university and a college is anyway not consistent from one educational system to another. Place Clichy (talk) 01:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Pubs in County Dublin

Nominator's rationale: Many of the articles are crematoria and cemeteries so not much merging is needed. All contain 1-2 entries. Note, I removed the lone Nepal category as it didn't fit and is now empty. –Aidan721 (talk) 00:35, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:19th-century mayors of places in Oklahoma

Nominator's rationale: Oklahoma did not exist before 1907 so there are no 19th century mayors of places in Oklahoma. There are 19th-century mayors of places in Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 00:06, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support, and its parent category Category:19th-century Oklahoma politicians should be considered for renaming for the same rationale.--TommyBoy (talk) 22:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
