The result of the discussion was: split. MER-C 17:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are 69 templates in this category. Only two are navigational boxes: Template:Film lists by country and Template:Indian film list. The other 67 templates are sidebar templates. —⁠andrybak (talk) 22:54, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename Timrollpickering (talk) 10:19, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Since the parent category was renamed as appropriate, these categories (which I mentioned should also be renamed, but were not done) should be renamed. Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

State supreme court justice categories

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: Rename all Timrollpickering (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:

Nominator's rationale: Per the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 September 17#Category:New Jersey Supreme Court justices, I propose renaming all of these to "Justice of the..." construction, which I would assert is the more natural uniform construction to avoid awkward names like the current Category:Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia justices and Category:Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. state) justices. I note that this formulation has already long been in use for all chief justice categories in Category:State supreme court chief justices in the United States by state (e.g. Category:Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of Alabama).

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 10:22, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, it is not meaningful to have two parallel trees, by modern country and by ancient civilization. Note that the articles are in Category:Maya sites in Guatemala anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:04, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Aviation accidents and incidents with a sole survivor (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Not defining characteristic of a aviation accident. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete/merge Timrollpickering (talk) 16:07, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the Kingdom of Jerusalem has too little content to have it diffused by year; by decade is fine though. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:53, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Companions of the Prophet per the above renaming Timrollpickering (talk) 16:10, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Male Sahabah to Category:Sahabah (note: the target is nominated for renaming, see two discussions above)
Nominator's rationale: merge, we do not have a men's subcategory whenever there is a women's subcategory, and this is not a case where being a man is defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 4 September 2020 (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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:13, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, based on the articles that I read it does not seem to be a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • With some exceptions (of course Ali is such an exception), hardly any of the articles highlights that these people are favored by Shias, so I am not sure on what basis you conclude that this is a pretty clear defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:African American Benevolent Associations

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: merge to Category:African-American organizations. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:09, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT and we do not have an established category tree for 'benevolent associations'. The three articles in the category are about African American abolitionist organizations which already are in Category:American abolitionist organizations. If the category would be kept, then rename to Category:African American benevolent associations to remove the capitals. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:16, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split merge into Category:Neighbourhoods in Pokhara, Category:Pokhara and Category:Road junctions in Nepal. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:40, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not certain whether this should be deleted, or improved - another category created by enthusiastic new editor, with no parent category such as Category:Pokhara. PamD 07:50, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ward of Pokhara

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: rename to Category:Wards of Pokhara. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:06, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: 1: Title should be "Wards ...", but 2: None of the articles in the category appear to be wards - all are described as being "located in" various wards. Category has been created, with no parent categories, by enthusiastic but very new editor who does not appear to understand how categories work. PamD 07:21, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle: Presumably those are just working names as a result of the administrative reorganisation following federalisation in 2015 - even entire provinces are still called things like Province No. 5, although some of them like Gandaki Pradesh (formerly Province No. 4) have been renamed. But the names in Category:Ward in Pokhara seem to correspond to the ward names matched against ward numbers in the list at Pokhara#Location, so I assume they are at the very least pencilled in to replace the numbers? Le Deluge (talk) 18:31, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone involved is clearly acting in good faith, but I am wary of any decision in any direction being made on the basis of such hazy knowledge. I see that the nominator has already commented at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Nepal about some categorisation ...and I think that this discussion would benefit from a relisting and a call for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Nepal. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:39, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename, this is unrelated to the better known crusades in the Middle East where the term "pagans" is never used. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Negro
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME
The explicit purpose of this category is to group articles with the word Negro in them according to the header: "Articles relating to the term Negro, a term historically used to denote persons considered to be of Negroid heritage." I can't imagine any reader wanting a direct navigational path between Negro league baseball, Negro Head Road (North Carolina) and N.W.A. There's no need for a merger because those examples are already better categorized in Category:African-American sports history, Category:History of racism in North Carolina, and Category:African-American musical groups, respectively, as all are all the other articles here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:22, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
