Nominator's rationale: Per main article: Adele. If this passes, the subcategories would be speedy renamed. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename Category:Wikipedia files for deletion to Category:Wikipedia files for discussion. Retain Category:Non-free content review requested until it is naturally emptied; once all of the discussions at WP:NFCR are closed and the category is thus emptied, it may be nominated for speedy deletion based on this discussion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:57, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per rename of associated process, as decided at WP:Village pump (proposals) - see this discussion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 21:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To change "deletion" to discussion is something I am always in favor of, but why the same category for both? If that is the gist of the discussion, then that too is okay we me. Debresser (talk) 22:50, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose upmerging Category:Ships in Norwegian history to parent categories
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. Besides, in the end, all ships are or become part of history. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point. Presumably it's because the ship appears in a legend-like song of later date, but I don't think we should keep the legendary category for that reason, I've removed it. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Kven history
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. I don't think there is a need to merge to anything, the one article is abundantly categorized already. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Subdistricts of Karo Regency

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: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: When this was created we did refer to them as subdistricts, but 4 years ago the parent article was renamed to Districts of Indonesia as a better translation of the actual Indonesian term. While most of the others of this type are eligible for speedy renaming, this one probably isn't because strictly speaking it doesn't have an article of the same name -- it goes Region -> Regency or City -> District, and our article structure is organised only by region. They're mentioned on Districts of North Sumatra instead. For accuracy and consistency with our naming style, this should be renamed.

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:23, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These are original songs by the band Queen and thus none are defined by their use in the We Will Rock You musical. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:America's Got Talent

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: no consensus for the purge portion of the nomination; discussion on that can continue on the category talk page if desired. No consensus to delete the main contestants category, either, but a consensus does support deleting the Pennsylvania intersection. Bearcat (talk) 20:01, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting Category:America's Got Talent contestants from Pennsylvania
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT, WP:SEPARATE and WP:G5
According to the article, the show consists of "a group of acts ranging from only a Top 20..., to as many as 60" contestants on each live episodes and some of those contestants also appeared on earlier audition episode. This is not like Big Brother where the cast is on screen for a full season. Including the showbiz hosts in the parent category is also non-defining because they were hired because they were famous rather than famous because they hosted the show. I do think the 12 winners are defined by the show so I created Category:America's Got Talent winners, and the 2nd and 3rd place for each season are in the template but this is overkill.

Category:Electors of Baden

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: delete. Even in discounting the multiple !votes, I think there's a trending here towards a consensus to delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:31, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete as a pointless category since Baden existed as an electorate for only three years, from 1803 to 1806. Before 1803 Baden was a margraviate, while after ending the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Baden became a grand duchy. Likewise for Württemberg which became an electorate in 1803 and a kingdom in 1806.

  • Oops, Württemburg, not WÞrttemburg. Hit the wrong alt code, 0222 instead of 0252. There's a hazard to knowing the codes instead of picking them from a list, especially when you're touchtyping on the keypad :-) Nyttend (talk) 05:37, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
