Category:Big Ten Conference athletic team seasons (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. It's unnecessary to roll up at the conference level here. Category:College sports team seasons in the United States by school group all schools nationally in one pool, which is in keeping with the hierarchy at Category:College sports teams in the United States by team.

Category:Works by LMFAO (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. If the band had more than just albums and songs categories, maybe this would be warranted. But for now, its unneeded when one cat can link to the other with a ((Category see also)). Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 20:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename
Nominator's rationale: There has been a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Volcanoes about reorganizing stuff that is volcanic and stuff that is not volcanic. I came up with the volcanology categorization idea yesterday and it is probably better than categorizing oceans, countries and continents by volcanism. Volcanism is a topic of volcanology and Category:Volcanism is a subcat of Category:Volcanology. As I stated on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Volcanoes, categorizing by volcanology goes well with Category:Geology (a parent of Category:Volcanology) because there is Category:Geology by continent, as well as Category:Geology by country. This is the same for other scientific topics, such as Category:Geography by country. I propose renaming all of the above Volcanism of XXXX and Volcanism by XXXX categories to the more proper Volcanology of XXXX and Volcanology by XXXX categorization.

Volcanology is the study of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena, such as volcanic activity, lava, etc. Volcanoguy 19:01, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Works by setting and by work to Category:Works by setting

Category:Sister cities of Kota Kinabalu (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. It is not normal practice to create categories for sister cities. also sister cities of Y, say cities A, B and C. does not mean A, B and C actually talk to each other. LibStar (talk) 14:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Periods by medium to Category:Works by period
Nominator's rationale: Both categories created by User:Stefanomione, this is another example of how he creates "x by y" and "y by x" parallel categories, unnecessarily imo. I believe all period-related contents can be adequately and better grouped in a single category. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. I am also preemptively upmerging Category:Works about countries by country.--Mike Selinker (talk) 08:47, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Works about countries by work to Category:Works about countries
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge Another unneeded 'x by y by x' subcategory by User:Stefanomione, created quite recently. I thought he had agreed and understood that such categories were rejected by the community as unnecessary, and that he would therefore stop. Apparently not. If this continues, I think we'd be justified in blocking him from category creation. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2D. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:15, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Notariat to Category:Notary
Nominator's rationale: "Notariat" is the German word for a notary; the category was set up to match the German one in 2006, but there is no reason in the world to use a German term that is not an English word. Notariat in fact redirects to Civil law notary, but this category covers common law Notary publics (as in UK & US) also. There is a biographical subcat, also covering both. "Notary" seems to be the way to go. Johnbod (talk) 12:01, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename
Rename, maybe upmerge?
Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia:WikiProject Messianic Judaism was renamed to Wikipedia:WikiProject Jewish Christianity July of last year, but the categories were never renamed to reflect the change. — ξxplicit 08:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nazi concentration camp victims by occupation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. I suspect that this is not a defining characteristic for most of those listed. It is also a triple intersection which we generally avoid. If consensus develops to support an action here, the subcategories will either need to be added or listed in a follow on nomination. Another option is to upmerge to Category:People who died in Nazi concentration camps. If kept, the parent category of Category:Holocaust victims by occupation should be loked at since these two might really be rather the same in content and there would not be a reason to keep both trees. I think that Category:Holocaust victims by occupation needs a looking at after this one. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but move out of Holocaust victims by occupation - Not everyone who died in the Holocaust died in a Nazi concentration camp (millions of Jews died in the massacres in Eastern Europe, Ukraine and occupied Russian or in Hungarian, Romanian, Vichy French, Fascist Italian or other concentration camps not directly administered by the Nazis - and they are considered victims of the Holocaust in particular. Not everyone who died in a Nazi concentration camp died in the Holocaust, which is generally considered to be about racial extermination and even then, the Roma tend to use the term Porajmos rather than Holocaust. See Holocaust#Non_Jewish. I think the category needs to be moved away, and while there might be overlaps, they are certainly different and both serve different purposes.--Cerejota (talk) 07:03, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You want both deleted? One but not the other? Which one?--Cerejota (talk) 20:20, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Upmerge to Category:Hacking (programmer subculture) and delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 16:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Hackathons (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: No articles, no parent categories. Ϫ 02:27, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • But wait. The "obvious" parent you are using is Category:Hacking events, a category you've just created to use it as a parent! All of this can be safely upmerged to Category:Hacking (programmer subculture) a convenient category because it's relatively small. Further dispersal of these categories into subcategories just makes browsing more tedious. By the way, the two images currently contained in Category:Hackathons should be moved to Commons and the only article that would currently fit in there would be the main article hackathon. So the category is basically empty. (oh by the way, if the closing admin needs a word in bold then Delete) Pichpich (talk) 16:26, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Possible GFDL violations to Category:Possible CC-BY-SA or GFDL violations due to Copying Within Wikipedia
Nominator's rationale: This was a category for an under-used template being updated to take into account CC-BY-SA and the existence of WP:CWW which the template pre-dates. The new category does the same task (include tagged pages), but has an updated name. Since category is currently empty, I am not sure if to request merge or delete so I am playing it safe.
