Nominator's rationale: Vice-chancellor is only one of a variety of titles for heads of universities. Nothing is gained by subcategorising them by title. Rathfelder (talk) 21:01, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Most of the sub-categories are not presidents. Many are rectors, chancellors etc. The title of president does not have a consistent meaning across different countries. Rathfelder (talk) 20:36, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 09:36, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The title is ungrammatical and not part of any "remnants remain" category tree. We also normally only categorize by permanent characteristics. The also fails the "Did the category creator understand what they were creating?" test as it was created with no parent categories. DexDor (talk) 17:58, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with main article name University of Maryland Global Campus following article move to UMUC's new official name. The move was proposed as speedy but opposed as main article was moved only recently and without a page move discussion. TSventon (talk) 14:01, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 09:42, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale There is no legal entity known as the Dutch Caribbean. Instead there are two types of legal entity in the Caribbean that are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands: countries and special municipal territories. Each has its own kind of government. There is no overarching government for the collective territories, unless that be the government in the Netherlands proper. So it's more correct to speak of "government in" rather than "government of". Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:55, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Trolley parks to Category:Trolley parks in the United States
Nominator's rationale: All the parks are in the USA Rathfelder (talk) 09:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Chutes Park (for example) is in Category:Defunct amusement parks in California so I think there's a problem with that query. Try this. DexDor (talk) 18:40, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've checked all the categorisation now. I've also listed the few category members that were missing in the main article Trolley park. – Fayenatic London 09:37, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: do not rename. MER-C 13:58, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As HPE purchased SGI, and HPE is still providing solutions under the SGI brand, I propose to rename the article as I suggested. Amitie 10g (talk) 21:10, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hardware provided by SGI will not be rebranded, and HPE adopted the "SGI" brand for their superconouters hardware line after the SGI purchase (see below).
The Electra hardware consist in the SGI ICE X (manufactured by Silicon Graphics International) and the HPE SGI 8600 (manufactured by HPE, after the SGI purchasing). Those hardware has been manufactured by there "different" companies, but, in terms of partnership, contracts and succession, those companies should be considered as the "same", as the newer company adopted the historical brand "SGI". --Amitie 10g (talk) 23:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Independent Power Producers of Pakistan

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. MER-C 09:43, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has all the power companies in Pakistan. Descon doesnt seem to be generating company. They dont appear to be much more independent than those in other countries. There is an article Independent Power Producer but I dont think it makes a good foundation for categories. Monopolisatioin in this field varies by time and place. Its not terribly useful to try to separate companies which are monopolies from those which aren't. Rathfelder (talk) 07:24, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Title is very ambiguous. Only one subcategory Rathfelder (talk) 07:20, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT which is being used solely to contain a single web series episode. We have no equivalent "Year in web series" categories for any other year in the entire history of human existence, and very little content to populate such a scheme with since very few web series ever actually warrant standalone articles about individual episodes — so there's no reason why this should stand alone as a special case.

Nominator's rationale: This category appears to have been created to diffuse the parent, but it contains an assortment of unrelated categories (e.g. lists, stubs) which would be better off in the parent. – Fayenatic London 03:08, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category for people on the basis of their having been named as icons in a listicle compiled by a subjective public opinion poll. This is not a defining characteristic for the purposes of justifying a category — we've regularly deleted things like this when they were tried for other similar poll-based lists like The Greatest Canadian, music magazine rankings of songs or albums, and on and so forth. If this kind of thing isn't already covered by an WP:OCAT proscription, it probably should be. Bearcat (talk) 02:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, they're already listed in National Living Treasure (Australia). Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bytown

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 09:44, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous WP:SMALLCAT for the historical former name of a city that still exists. This is populated entirely by content that doesn't really need the demarcation: three of the five articles here are already filed in the target category alongside this because their scope crosses the city's renaming, and there's no reason why the other two couldn't be: those two are the eponym itself and the other thing that had the word "Bytown" in its name, which means they've been isolated from the overall history of Ottawa on purely WP:SHAREDNAME grounds. There's just not enough content that's defined by any meaningful Bytown-Ottawa distinction for two separate categories to be needed here — and in addition, this also has a tendency to accidentally collect some of the contemporary things that still to this day use "Bytown" as a nickname for Ottawa (ByTowne Cinema, Bytown Boys Supporters Club, etc.), which isn't its purpose and would still violate SHAREDNAME anyway.
