14th-century transport infrastructure

Nominator's rationale: merge, unnecessary complex tree for only three articles in total. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn by nominator and retagged as C1. (non-admin closure) ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 08:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary; Only one article in category, which is the titular article Chitrali cuisine. Chitrali cuisine has also already been added to the proper categories, so we don't need a merge. ForsythiaJo (talk) 22:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Continental League

Nominator's rationale: Too little content, all adequately interlinked. See also second proposal above. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:02, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:USA for Africa songs

Nominator's rationale: Categories containing only 1 article. Unlikely to be expanded since the group has been inactive for 40 years. Mika1h (talk) 12:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dutch cookies

Nominator's rationale: overcategorization, attempt to empty the categories cookie and Dutch cuisine. The Banner talk 07:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiProject Film task force usage

Nominator's rationale: Outdated WikiProject tracking categories, no longer applied or used by the template that formerly used them. ((WikiProject Film)) used to feature code that would count how many of the project's task forces any given film had been assigned to, and automatically sort the page into one of these categories accordingly -- but it no longer does, so none of these categories are still in any use because the template isn't populating them anymore.
They can of course be recreated in the future if they're ever actually needed again, but there's no need to indefinitely hold onto them if they're not actually being used. Bearcat (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Russo-Turkish War (1672-1681)

Nominator's rationale: Recently created new category with an error in its name. The two articles filed here both say that the Russo-Turkish war that they were part of began in 1676, not 1672 -- and indeed, we have an article titled Russo-Turkish War (1676–1681), but none titled Russo-Turkish War (1672–1681). Meanwhile, there's a completely separate article about a Polish–Ottoman War (1672–1676), but the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was not part of Russia in that era, so they aren't the same thing and wouldn't belong in one merged category.
I'm not sure whether the creator just made a typo or actually merged two separate wars together, but this category should be renamed and have Russo-Turkish War (1676–1681) added to it as its head article (although I'm not inclined to preemptively add it to the wrongly-named category in the interim.)

Category:5th-century Irish literature

Nominator's rationale: Isolated category, not currently useful for navigation as it only holds 5th-century Irish writers, which is already in all the parent categories via other hierarchies. – Fayenatic London 09:36, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Redirects from gender

Nominator's rationale: The current title, Category:Redirects from gender, was a little confusing to me - at first, the name suggested to me that this category (and the related template) might be for categorizing redirects from the name of a gender identity. I propose moving it to the more specific title Category:Redirects from gendered terms, in order to clarify the purpose of this redirect category and remove the potential ambiguity.
Starting this CfD as a parallel discussion to the RM at Template talk:R from gender § Requested move 1 May 2024. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 09:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Spinozist philosophers

Nominator's rationale: Redundant with either Category:Spinozists (adherents to Spinoza's philosophy) or Category:Spinoza scholars (philosophers who produce scholarship on Spinoza, independent of their own inclination).

All current members of this category are also in one of those two categories. Psychastes (talk) 03:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
