- Category:Ahern family to Category:Ahern (political family)
- Category:Andrews family to Category:Andrews (political family)
- Category:Blaney family to Category:Blaney (political family)
- Category:Boland family to Category:Boland (political family)
- feel free to add each family from Category:Political families of Ireland
- Nominator's rationale: To distinguish them from ordinary families and surname type categories. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose the end goal drops family, which we want. Since there is no evidence of a need to disambiguate these from other noted families with these last names, I see no reason to chance the names.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:35, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No evidence? Cast the net a little bit wider to find plenty of pickings. For example, Category:Guinness family, most of whom have nothing to do with RoI politics; Category:Naughten family, most of whom have nothing to do with Naughton; Category:Kenny family, most of whom have nothing to do with Kenny etc. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:24, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Which are not the families involved here. Just because some families need to be disambiguated does not mean such is needed for all families. We only disambiguate where it is needed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:40, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- They are involved here. For example, it's concievable that you would have a cat for Category:Guinness (political family) and another for the the famous brewing family Category:Guinness (brewing family) with still another Category:Guinness (surname) for the remainer non-notables. To have Category:Guinness family as the only entrant for the parent category Category:Political families of Ireland is, in this case, highly misleading.

- No, those categories you mention are not in this nomination, so they are not involved in this nomination. I see no evidence we need to disambiguate these specific familes. The fact that some entries in a category need to be disambiguated does not mean we have to disambiguate all of them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: merge. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:01, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT. Only one member page; I found one other eligible page but cannot justify keeping this category. – Fayenatic London 13:30, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Propose merging Category:Hot cocoa to Category:Chocolate beverages
- Nominator's rationale: unnecessary splitting, and besides, many of these drinks are also taken cold. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:08, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: Reverse merge "Presidencies of X". Essentially as diffusion to the subcat. - jc37 21:48, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Completely redundant. What's the inherent difference between the presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and James K. Polk? Nevertheless, Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt is in Presidencies of the United States, while Category:Presidency of James K. Polk is in United States presidential administrations. Presidencies is currently the parent for administrations, so normally I'd propose upmerging administrations into presidencies, but the "administrations" name is better ("presidencies", plural, is something more appropriate for things like the Bombay Presidency), so a downmerge seems more appropriate here. Nevertheless, I'm open to upmerging: the important thing is that this redundancy be removed. Nyttend (talk) 03:36, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge these are completely redundant. There is nothing that prevents the placement of the target in Category:Presidencies.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:56, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- merge one way or the other I'm not wedded to either naming system, but there's no reason to have two. Mangoe (talk) 03:29, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
