Nominator's rationale: Unlike Category:Works about imperialism, I cannot see a common thread joining these works, ranging from Left Behind to "What Russia Should Do with Ukraine". –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:29, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Match #Category:Institutions run by Mata Amritanandamayi Math below, as well as others such as Category:Deccan Education Society. This is the only remaining "Institutions run by" category.

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry alumni category for a high school. As always, this would be fine if there were five or ten people to file here, but it's not warranted as a WP:SMALLCAT for just one person. Bearcat (talk) 03:31, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Because I found this while working from the list of uncategorized categories, not from a category. Bearcat (talk) 14:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd done the 2 in subcategory this morning after its discussion closed, then found more where the article was in both parent and (university) child categories. Since there were only a few to start, that effectively emptied it.

Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Major League Soccer MVPs‎, an existing category. SounderBruce 09:16, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's right. Category:Major League Soccer MVP award winners and Category:Major League Soccer MVPs are same category about MLS MVP winners.
Category name of Category:Major League Soccer MVPs is little bit vague, especially non English native speaker.
For a clarity and consistency with other title of sports MVP categories, I want to change the category name to Category:Major League Soccer MVP award winners like Category:Major League Baseball MVP award winners
What do you think of my opinion?
Footwiks (talk) Footwiks (talk) 11:00, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand, Footwiks. What articles are you going to move? As I said, the category has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 01:08, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, MLS award winners such as Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Landon Donovan, Currentely these players are classified as Category:Major League Soccer MVPs‎
For a clarity and consistency with other title of sports MVP categories, I want to classify MLS award winners as Category:Major League Soccer MVP award winners‎.Footwiks (talk) 02:39, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Not precise enough to understand the purpose of these categories, which are about trans-Neptunian object in various orbital resonances with Neptune. By convention, it is not necessary to specify Neptune for resonant TNOs. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:42, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These do not actually exist, and are not common usage. Very recent creation that interferes with well established naming conventions. May require MANUAL REVERT to previous categories.
