The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Category:1632 series images pages | Keep | September 4 |
Category:2007 City Elections in Alberta | delete as empty category | September 28 |
Category:2009 Candidate for Manhattan Distract Attorney | delete | September 22 |
Category:20th-century American football running backs, etc | Delete all six—the categories are empty and nothing needs to be merged | September 5 |
Category:21st-century male basketball centers | merge (category was empty at close). The other similar categories were not included in this nomination | September 14 |
Category:A&P | rename | September 20 |
Category:Academics by subject | Rename to Category:Scholars and academics by subject. I think that an offline discussion to consider Category:Academics and Category:Scholars and how they should be used would be helpful for future debates | September 29 |
Category:Acquisitions by Google | merge Category:Acquisitions by Google to Category:Google acquisitions, with no prejudice for nominating Category:Google acquisitions (and other similarly-named subcategories of Category:Mergers and acquisitions) for renaming to the Acquisitions by Foo or Companies acquired by Foo format. The discussion is basically a "no consensus" concerning the question of what the category title should be, but there is consensus that two categories are not needed. Consolidating them now will make any future nomination to rename less complicated. – | September 1 |
Active and retired astronauts | Delete: | September 9 |
Category:Actors to portray superheroes | delete | September 21 |
Category:Administrative divisions of federal subjects of Russia | Rename Category:Administrative divisions of federal subjects of Russia to Category:Administrative divisions of the federal subjects of Russia | September 3 |

Category:Bahamian directors | Rename Category:Bahamian directors to Category:Bahamian film directors | September 7 |
Category:Ballet redirects | Upmerge to corresponding content categories where possible, otherwise delete. Straight deletion, though initially proposed, seems to have fallen by the wayside in favour of a selective merger | September 9 |

Bands from | rename | September 19 |
Category:Barnstorming teams | Delete | September 26 |
Category:Baroque architecture in the Ukraine | speedy rename | September 16 |
Category:Barracuda class submarines | Rename to Category:United States Barracuda class submarines (1951) | September 3 |
Category:Basketball forwards by century | Delete. (At close, category only contained two empty subcategories, so nothing is being lost by deletion.) | September 22 |
Category:Bastia Umbra | Delete | September 5 |
Category:Batman characters | No Consensus | September 22 |

Category:Ben Elton | delete | September 19 |
Category:Bettona | Delete | September 5 |
Category:Bevagna | Delete | September 5 |
Category:Big Ten champion seasons | Delete. There is no real consensus to endorse the new names, but there also isn't any enthusiasm for reversing the out-of-process moves. We'll just delete the nominated categories as empty, but this discussion shouldn't be read as endorsing what was done or the current names that were selected out-of-process, and the newly-named categories may be nominated for renaming at any time. | September 23 |
Bilateral relations | Rename: | September 5 |
Category:Biodiesel crops | Rename Category:Biodiesel crops to Category:Biodiesel feedstock sources | September 28 |
Category:Biota of the West Bank | Delete | September 6 |

Category:Communist Party of Russia members | Rename Category:Communist Party of Russia members to Category:Communist Party of the Russian Federation members | September 5 |
Category:Companies of the United States by location | keep the category but remove articles from it. I have placed Template:Container-cat in the category. Articles should be removed manually or by bot. Their talk pages may be moved into a newly-created WP admin category if desired. (The only reason I will not use a bot to remove the articles is in case someone wants to automate a bot to add the talk pages of these articles to another category. If it's decided we just want to remove these with no further action, we could use a bot to empty out the category.) | September 16 |
Category:Computer language stubs | Move to WP:SFD at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion/Log/2009/September/1#Category:Computer language stubs | September 1 |
Category:Concentration camps | Keep | September 29 |

Category:Danes of Hungarian descent | Rename Category:Danes of Hungarian descent to Category:Danish people of Hungarian descent | September 21 |
Danes to Danish people | rename all | September 14 |
Category:Darlington Borough | Rename Category:Darlington Borough to Category:Darlington (borough). This area of coverage is fairly muddled. Strongly drawn to using "County Durham" as the disambiguator (as per, for example, Category:People from Durham, County Durham), as suggested by many contributors. However weight of numbers has led me to adopt a form which keeps in sync with the main article | September 8 |
Category:Daughters of dukes; Category:Daughters of marquesses; Category:Daughters of earls | Rename: | September 29 |
Deans of Lincoln | Rename Category:Deans of Lincoln since 1908 to Category:Deans of Lincoln Cathedral | September 11 |
Category:Degrees | merge | September 19 |
Category:Descriptive technique | No consensus. Looks like further discussion is certainly needed, and future deletion/merging should not be ruled out. | September 15 |
Category:Destroyer classes of the Netherlands | Delete | September 1 |
Category:Directorial debut films | 'Keep | September 5 |
Category:Distillery F.C. players | Close - the category is already under discussion further down the page and there should not be two concurrent discussions of the same category. Suggestions to merge can be made at the first discussion. Non-admin close | September 23 |
Category:Distillery F.C. players | Merge into Category:Lisburn Distillery F.C. players | September 23 |
Category:Divisions by country | Rename: | September 6 |
Category:Divisions of the Military of Colombia | Rename Category:Divisions of the Military of Colombia to Category:Divisions of Colombia as an interim measure, for consistency with parent category, pending cleanup of overall category tree | September 6 |

Category:Elektra Artists | Merge | September 30 |
Category:Eloise television specials | Speedy Delete. WP:CSD#G5 - creation of banned user in violation of ban | September 5 |
Category:English civil servants | No Consensus. No point in disposing of this category in isolation from the Scottish and Welsh categories listed above | September 4 |
Category:Epics | Rename to Category:Epic poems; | September 24 |
EPs categories | no consensus | September 21 |
Category:Equatorial Guinean musicians | Endorse | September 4 |
Escort carrier categories | Rename all per nom | September 30 |
Category:European Professors | Delete | September 19 |
Category:European Student Organizations | Delete | September 30 |
Category:Extrasolar navboxes | rename | September 16 |
Category:F class submarines | Rename | September 24 |
Category:Families of Connecticut origin | Rename Category:Families of Connecticut origin to Category:Connecticut families. Advise separate group nomination if editors wish to consider Category:American families by state and subcategories | September 4 |
Category:Famous signs | Rename to Category:Individual signs. While there are different opinions on what this category should be called, there is clearly consensus to rename it from the current name. The original proposed name seems to have the strongest support among the different suggestions | September 27 |
Category:Fantasy conventions | withdrawn. As a result of the cleanup, re purposing and parent changes, there is no longer a need to rename this | September 15 |
Category:Fast-food sub restaurants | Rename to Category:Submarine sandwich restaurants | September 25 |
Category:Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana inmates | Merge Category:Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana inmates to Category:Prisoners and detainees of the United States federal government | September 10 |
Category:Female basketball players by century | Merge Category:Female basketball players by century to Category:Basketball players by century | September 9 |
Category:Feyenoord Rotterdam | Rename all per nom | September 3 |
Category:Fictional balls | no consensus. This is a difficult naming issue. It looks like 1) there is no consensus to delete the category, 2) the category should be renamed to clarify its contents, and 3) there is no consensus on what the category should be called. It is unclear whether renaming to Category:Fictional spheres or Category:Fictional balls and spheres would solve the problem, or whether it would be appropriate at all given the current scope of the category. By all means relist the category for renaming if you can come up with a solution | September 18 |
Category:Fictional gay men | Rename Category:Fictional gay men to Category:Fictional gay males | September 27 |
Category:Fictional prisoners | keep | September 23 |

Category:Florida International Panthers baseball coaches | Rename Category:Florida International Panthers baseball coaches to Category:Florida International Golden Panthers baseball coaches | September 2 |
Category:Fly films | Delete | September 2 |
Category:Flying Saucer Masters | deleted per G8. Empty category whose parent article does not exist, and thus serving no use right now (dependent on a deleted page) | September 23 |
Category:Folksonomy | keep | September 22 |
Category:Football in Trinidad and Tobago by club | Rename Category:Football in Trinidad and Tobago by club to Category:Footballers in Trinidad and Tobago by club | September 2 |

Category:Former Government officials of Hong Kong | Merge Category:Former Government officials of Hong Kong to Category:Government officials of Hong Kong | September 6 |
Category:Former landmarks in Montreal | Delete as empty. Otherwise I would have closed this discussion in favour of a rename to Category:Destroyed landmarks in Montreal. Having said that, there are substantial OR concerns here - described as a landmark by whom? An official body, or just randomly described as such by wikipedia editors? | September 17 |
Category:Former members of the Executive Council of Hong Kong | merge | September 9 |
Category:Former members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong | Merge Category:Former members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong to Category:Members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong | September 6 |

Category:H anime | Merge both to Category:Hentai anime and manga, without ruling out the possibility of changing "Hentai" in the future. | September 16 |
Category:Half-blind people | Delete. This was a complicated discussion with good arguments on both sides, so I'll expand a little | September 22 |

Category:Hungarian infobox templates | speedy delete, G7 (sole author's request) | September 21 |
Category:Ice Cube CD covers | Upmerge | September 18 |
Category:Illinois Auto Insurance Companies | delete Category:Illinois Auto Insurance Companies. Since the only member is already in the parent, there is nothing to merge. Considering Category:Insurance companies based in Illinois, Closeapple has raised valid points in favour of keeping (and the situation has changed somewhat since arguments for its upmerging were made), and therefore I don't think there's consensus to merge it. If someone feels strongly about that one, they're free to start a separate CfD for it | September 17 |
Category:Image namespace templates | Rename Category:Image namespace templates to Category:File namespace templates | September 13 |
Category:Immigration by continent | Keep | September 29 |
Category:Impact craters by geologic time scale | Rename Category:Impact craters by geologic time scale to Category:Impact craters on Earth by geologic time scale | September 17 |

Category:Judaism in the Czech Republic | merge | September 29 |
Category:Julie Fowlis | Rename Category:Julie Fowlis to Category:Julie Fowlis albums | September 2 |
Category:Kelli Dayton albums | rename | September 17 |
Category:Kings of Naples | no consensus. My impression is that this is the result, but it could also be a "do not merge". Since the practical result is the same I'm not too worried about which it is. It wasn't entirely clear if and to what extent some of those who commented were in agreement/acquiescence to Johnbod's comments made during the discussion. If they agreed with Johnbod, the merge should by consensus not proceed. If they were unconvinced, I didn't see any really good justifications that countered Johnbod's position, hence the "no consensus". | September 29 |
Category:Kings of Sicily | Merge Category:Sicilian kings as nominated; do not merge Category:Kings of Sicily. | September 29 |
Kosovar things | Rename/Merge per nom | September 11 |
Category:Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire | delete | September 26 |
Category:KwaZulu Natal geography stubs | Speedy close. Relisted in its proper place at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion | September 9 |
Kyrgyzstani | Keep. Consensus seems to be in favour of 'Kyrgyzstani' as the appropriate adjectival form. Recommend further nomination to bring non-conforming categories into consistency | September 26 |

Category:Lost fictional characters | Delete | September 8 |
Category:Lost writers | rename to Category:Writers of lost works | September 9 |
Category:Lotteries in the United States | Keep | September 25 |
Malayalam-language films | Keep all. (Potential conflict of interest here as I was responsible for creating these categories per 11 July Cfd. On the other hand, these creations were the result of clearly expressed consensus and I have made no other edits in this area.) Splitting 'films-by-language' categories into 'film-by-decade-by-language' seems, to me at least, to be the logical next step when wp coverage hits a certain critical mass. Perhaps this scheme might with benefit be applied to various other 'films-by-language' categories, but aside from qualms about its isolated application to this language, there seems to be little expressed consensus against it as a general idea | September 27 |
Category:Members of the Democratic Party (Romania) | rename | September 21 |
Category:Mertozoro | Delete | September 6 |
Category:Metropolitan Borough of Walsall | merge | September 8 |

Remainder religious converts | merge. There is clearly consensus here that categories by these names should not exist, and no consensus to rename them. Further creation of subcategories can be done after the merger if needed. The point about whether conversion should equate to "former" is out of the scope of this discussion; the point applies to everything in Category:People by former religion, so I suggest raising the issue there | September 10 |

Category:Southwest Indian cyclones | Rename, except for the last one. I'm going to rename all but the last one as nominated, largely for the sake of consistency with the previous CfD on this issue and so we can get the issue of adding "Ocean" out of the way, since there is consensus that that at least needs to be done.

Category:University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee | merge | September 16 |
Category:Université de Moncton alumni | Reverse merge to Category:Université de Moncton alumni. The only argument for merging to the "non-Frenchified" name is so that it will match the main article. The Frenchified name is certainly the university's legal name and the one that is used most commonly, at least within New Brunswick and the rest of Canada. If in process of time the proposed move of the main article is rejected, then I think it could be entirely appropriate to re-nominate this category for naming back to the non-Frenchified version. We could have held this in abeyance to await the result of the article move discussion, but that is not to be preferred since currently we have two different categories for one concept. Better to get this resolved one way or the other, even if it's only temporary. Anyway, the parent category Category:Université de Moncton and the sibling category Category:Université de Moncton faculty both use the Frenchified version, so this is at least bringing some consistency within the category system. I'm also willing to go out on a limb and say that I'm relatively confident the article will be moved. Probably. If I turn out to be wrong, you can all force me to drink motor oil. Again. | September 29 |

Western (genre) films | Rename. The question that really needs to be answered in the discussion is wether or not Western films is ambiguous. While Western is ambiguous, it has not been established in the discussion that Western films is ambiguous. In fact I think that the case it made that this is in fact not ambiguous. Whatever case might be made for this being ambiguous needs to be considered with this being the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. No case has been made that Western films is ambiguous or not the primary topic. If you look at the main articles associated with this area, Western (genre), Western fiction, Westerns on television, disambiguation is only used when no other term is included to clarify the purpose of the article. I believe that principal applies here as well. Given that the lead in Western (genre) is consistant in using Western over western I believe that the categories should follow that in the naming. I'll also add that over on commons they use Category:Westerns | September 29 |
