The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Black Hebrew Israelites. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:39, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename all per nominator. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:42, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nominator's rationaile: Third in an ongoing series to standardise the "Works based on Foo" tree on "Foo based on Bar" (X of Y) format, following the pattern established by the tree Works based on Foo > Video games based on Foo. As mentioned in the previous discussions here and here that passed for renaming their espective trees, the X of Y format is clearer, less ambiguous, and follows the standard. Note that this is an ongoing project, that due to its size is being conducted one tree at a time, and will result in all the "Works based on Foo" tree being in the "Foo based on Bar" format when complete, establishing a clear and preferred standardisation. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disintegration Records artists

The result of the discussion was: Disintegrated. The Bushranger One ping only 17:17, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete There's no article about this record label and no articles for the artists on its roster with the exception of Greg MacPherson who actually owns the label. As such, a category about Disintegration Records artists is really putting the cart before the horse. Pichpich (talk) 16:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Missing middle or first names

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: change location of category as nominated. The delete arguments here didn't really make any sense. — ξxplicit 01:33, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category's documentation says "Per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 March 21#Category:Missing middle or first names, the category tag is now on the Talk: page for the article rather than on the article page itself." However, Categories like those in the Category:Year of birth missing family are used on articles, but hidden. I suggest we do the same for this category (and others like it?) for consistency, and for ease of addition.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Geographical, historical and cultural areas of Belgium. — ξxplicit 01:33, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Non-political regions of Belgium to Category:Geographical, historical and cultural regions of Belgium
Nominator's rationale: Rename We usually try to avoid "not-based" category names. I propose following the model of Category:Geographical, historical and cultural regions of France which is a little long but has a wide scope that truly corresponds to the current content of the category. The alternative would be Category:Historical regions in Belgium (following Category:Historical regions by country) but that would be a much narrower scope and the category would have to be stripped of some of its content.

  • If this is to be moved, I think BrownHairedGirl's suggestion is the best so far. Oreo Priest talk 18:04, 4 October 2012 (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: keep. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:57, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal by country to Category:Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal by continent
Nominator's rationale: Rename. As someone has decided to add the continents as an additional layer, which is fine, and consequently moving all country-specific categories out of this one, the nominated category needs to be renamed to reflect what its current content are. (Perhaps should we even keep the by country category in order to have all the country-specific categories go directly into that. Still, it can be re-created as needed at a later time.) __meco (talk) 11:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed my mind. The subject is well tied to countries, and poorly tied by continents. There is no need for the extra level. All countries would fit well into a single category. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:12, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, you are right. I kinda missed those. Nevertheless the current order where continents and sovereign countries are placed side by side as "countries" still is untenable. __meco (talk) 09:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that was my initial reaction also. However, I decided to follow up the change that had already been done. I should have approached it differently. __meco (talk) 11:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Netherlands–Pakistan Relations to Category:Netherlands–Pakistan relations

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Eastern Front (World War II). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. C2D, Soviet–German War redirects to Eastern Front (World War II) and actually was not some separate war. Brandmeistertalk 10:28, 8 September 2012 (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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 October 21#Category:Presidencies of the United States. — ξxplicit 01:33, 21 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]

Category:People from Kawakawa

The result of the discussion was: keep and rename Kawakawa. The Bushranger One ping only 20:17, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT. Kawakawa has less than 1500 people and Russell less than 1000 so these categories will stay small. It makes more sense to upmerge to the wider scope. Pichpich (talk) 00:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
