The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Jewish emigrants from Nazi Germany to the United States. – Fayenatic London 15:48, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming - Category:German Jews who immigrated to the United States to escape Nazism to Category:German Jews who emigrated to the United States to escape Nazism
Nominator's rationale: Category was speedily renamed against consensus. No longer matches normal English usage. No longer matches parent category or surrounding categories. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:45, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • What about people who emigrated from Germany because of other things (such as being a Communist) or where the decision to emigrate (and especially to choose the US) may have been influenced by other things (e.g. job opportunities)? DexDor (talk) 21:24, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If not deleted/upmerged then rename as proposed by SFB. I still think that categorizing people by how they relocated in search of better life chances is DNWAUC (e.g. "People who moved from the Midwest to California during the Great Depression"). We should stick to categorizing people by (1) what they are notable for and (2) standard biographical characteristics. DexDor (talk) 21:01, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting - Category:Housing problems

Nominator's rationale: The idea is then to please move the result to a unified content as: Category:Religion and mythology related lists. The aim is to bring some order and consistency in the topic. The main cat, recently created, is Category:Religion and mythology which is rightly presented as saying that religion and mythology have different but overlapping aspects. At present Wikipedia either has WP:SYSTEMICBIAS or an unnecessary anomaly as it tends to class modern day faiths as religions and past time faiths as myths. In essence the two spheres diffuse with each other and I don't think that it is down to Wikipedia to decide which goes where. We should just present content and let the reader decide. There will be several other moves to make of this type GregKaye 17:00, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A search on "Roman religion and mythology" OR "Roman mythology and religion" shows that these subject are commonly and sensibly considered in concert. I personally think think that terms like mythology should be words to watch but, if they are to be applied, this should happen evenly. "Religion and Politics" are regularly two different things and the comparison does not work. Religion and mythology are considered to be profoundly intermeshed.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 06:57, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See Category:Medieval physicians.

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, all these categories contain only 1, 2 of 3 articles. No need to upmerge to Category:Medieval physicians because I've made sure that all of them are in an Xth-century physicians category already. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you explain your objection? I don't see the difference between - say - Category:Medieval Czech physicians and Category:Czech physicians in this respect, because it's both in the same tree and it's both referring to a country that didn't exist yet. 21:13, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 07:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Small category with few articles. Disparities can happily be included in determinants. Now a commoner approach to these topics. Disparities rather implies that these things arise at random and nothing can be done about them. Determinants implies causation. Rathfelder (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of the Czech Republic

The result of the discussion was: do not rename. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 02:36, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename. It was initially nominated for speedy as C2E but opposed. In the current setup, Category:Czech history has a child Category:History of the Czech Republic by period which covers the Moravian, Bohemian, Czechoslovak and Czech Republic periods all together. The nominated category is a child of the latter and is intended only for the recent Czech Republic. The rename was opposed because the Czech Republic is by definition since 1993. But, it's very strange to have Category:Czech Republic as a child of Category:History of the Czech Republic by period, while after renaming it would not at all be strange to have Category:History of the Czech Republic (1993–) as a child of Category:History of the Czech Republic by period.
Essentially the rename is proposed because of the ambiguity of the catchphrase History of the Czech Republic, it may mean the entire history, it may also mean only the very recent history. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 12:27, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename to match actual content, the category mostly contains individuals instead of families. Note: there is currently a redirect from Category:Moravian nobility to Category:Moravian noble families. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:57, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 15:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose delete Category:Czech Austro-Hungarians
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, hardly any people in this tree are characterized as 'Czech Austro-Hungarians'. Most people in this tree are simply 'Czech' people and are already happily categorized as Category:19th-century Czech people and/or Category:20th-century Czech people. Incidentally there are also 'Austrian' or 'Austro-Hungarian' people who are e.g. in Category:Austro-Hungarian politicians. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:33, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Number-one singles in Iceland

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:26, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Articles related to charting in Iceland have been deleted (e.g. Tonlist, List of number-one singles (Iceland)) and there's no mention of the chart or its significance in any other articles (outside of chart performance sections), so the accomplishment of reaching number one in Iceland could hardly be called defining to such songs.
