Nominator's rationale: upmerge, one subcategory and one redirect is too little content for a category. Besides 'entities' is rather vague, although admittedly it does a fair job in Category:Former entities. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:59, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • It could be, though I would rather avoid the rather vague 'entities' layer if not really needed given the size of the category. (No need to be sorry.) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Grand Croix of the Ordre national du Mérite to Category:Grand Croix of the National Order of Merit (France) Category:Grand Cross of the National Order of Merit (France)
    • Adding on relisting:
    • Propose renaming Category:Grand Officiers of the Ordre national du Mérite to Category:Grand Officers of the National Order of Merit (France)
    • Propose renaming Category:Commandeurs of the Ordre national du Mérite to Category:Commanders of the National Order of Merit (France)
    • Propose renaming Category:Officiers of the Ordre national du Mérite to Category:Officers of the National Order of Merit (France)
    • Propose renaming Category:Chevaliers of the Ordre national du Mérite to Category:Knights of the National Order of Merit (France)
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:Consistency with default article realm article name National Order of Merit (France). I equally educated the same update to the other related categories inside Category:Recipients of the National Order of Merit (France), although I am not sure how to go about that technically here on this page. If you know, please help me. Thank you! Chicbyaccident (talk) 20:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I guess that would be just as fine. Chicbyaccident (talk) 09:18, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The current title is all French: "Grand Croix of the Ordre national du Mérite"
The English translation would be: "Grand Cross of the National Order of Merit (France)"
But the nominator's proposal is: "<French>Grand Croix</French><English>of the National Order of Merit (France)</English>"
Use one language or the other. Mais ce melange of deux vocabularies hurts ma tête. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Norman clerics given benefices in England, without prejudice to re-creating this or a similar parent category if it appears useful to do so. – Fayenatic London 14:42, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, no need to merge since the only article two articles of this category is are already in Category:Norman Benedictines and in the abbots tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 30 April 2018 (UTC) - number of articles updated Marcocapelle (talk) 18:02, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • This is not about nationality but about ethnicity. Normans is not about inhabitants of Normandy per se but about Viking descent. I doubt whether we need a category of religious leaders for every ethnic group (while of course we do need them for ethno-religious groups). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:29, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • That is a fair comment. But by that reasoning they would simply have French nationality, as Normandy was a county/duchy of France. We do not distinguish Angevin or Nevers nationality either. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:00, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Since the nomination the category has been populated with quite a few more Normans who were active in England in this period so WP:SMALLCAT no longer applies. So I am okayish with this rename provided inserting 'religious' in the category name, so rename to Category:Christian religious leaders in Norman England, per its new parent category Category:English Christian religious leaders; also Category:Christianity in medieval England should become a new parent category. I said 'okayish' as honestly the scope is very narrow and we might also consider renaming more broadly to Category:Christian religious leaders in medieval England per its second parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not really - they fail "given benefices in England" don't they? Norman clerics in Normandy is not worth categorizing imo. Johnbod (talk) 16:40, 20 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose. Norman culture is far more extensive than just Normandy and England, and particularly influential in southern Italy, Sicily and Malta. It makes perfect sense to categorise someone like Étienne de Fer [it] of Rouen, first bishop of Mazara del Vallo, with other Norman clerics in other parts of Europe, at a time when in many areas national boundaries had little or no significance. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:31, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As I've said above, "Norman clerics in Normandy is not worth categorizing imo", and the best way to do the Italians is Category:Norman clerics given benefices in Italy. Do we actually have any articles on these? There are none in the category at present (ok, Stephen du Perche, A-bish of Palermo). I don't see much advantage in grouping these & the English ones in a single category. "Norman culture" was not unitary. Johnbod (talk) 11:44, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, you've said that. As I've said, I disagree. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:13, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:44, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Commonwealth Coast Football is a rebranding of the former New England Football Conference, which was taken over by the Commonwealth Coast Conference in 2017. However, the football conference remains a separate entity from the all-sports CCC. The CCC has a unique football logo, though based on the main CCC logo; see the CCC Football home page. More to the point, when the CCC announced in 2015 that it would take over the NEFC, it explicitly stated it would "assume operation of a renamed New England Football Conference." Dale Arnett (talk) 04:56, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment: The potential issue with moving the main article as suggested is that Commonwealth Coast Football is a separate legal entity from the Commonwealth Coast Conference, despite the football conference being administered by the multi-sport conference. In fact, the NEFC has a considerably longer history than the all-sports CCC—the NEFC was founded in 1965, while the CCC didn't exist until 1984. I have zero inside knowledge on why this arrangement was made, but I suspect that it was done this way to preserve the NEFC's automatic bid in the NCAA Division III playoffs. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:42, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorisation, specifically WP:NON-DEFINING. Considering most drivers have considerable experience outside of this race it can rarely applied as being defining towards this drivers career. Falcadore (talk) 04:03, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The fact that some drivers don't have their own Wikipedia article yet doesn't mean that they aren't notable as N24 drivers. Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a work in progress, don't forget about it. And your opinion on what defining and what is not is purely subjective. It's oversimplification to define driver just by their two-three major career achievements. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:45, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It underlines the relative lack of importance that the most successful drivers in the races history aren't considered noteworthy.
The core of the arguement here is overcategorisation and specifically that the category is not defining. I've not seen anything you've written that refutes that. All you've said is what I say is subjective. Where is the proof that the category IS defining for these drivers? --Falcadore (talk) 17:14, 30 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've not seen anything you've written that refutes your nomination based on your bias. It is your obligation of nominator to prove that the category is not defining. The only thing that you have said, that you don't like itN24 is less important than Le Mans and some other races, which is true, but doesn't make the category non-defining on drivers' career. I.e. Timo Bernhard. Are categories Rolex Sports Car Series drivers, FIA GT Championship drivers, Formula Ford drivers, European Le Mans Series drivers, Porsche Supercup drivers, Blancpain Endurance Series drivers, United SportsCar Championship drivers, 24 Hours of Spa drivers more career-defining for him than N24 drivers?Corvus tristis (talk) 03:46, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You are right. A lot of those categories should be deleted as well for the same reason. Why don't you have a read of WP:OVERCAT, WP:DNWAUC, WP:NON-DEFINING. Go on. You say it's an oversimplification that racing drivers are defined by only two or three categories, but Wikipedias articles on the subject diagree with you. --Falcadore (talk) 06:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, according to that interpretation of the WP:DNWAUC, Category:Bathurst 1000 winners should be removed as well? Falcadore, are you really wanting this? P.S. Pierre Kaffer is a clear example of a stub. So, of course, it may haven't a mention of something. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Each category must stand or fall on its own merits, not those of others. That being said I have no objection to removing Bathurst 1000 winners. But that isn't the subject. And you shouldn't view it as any form of personal issue. --Falcadore (talk) 09:24, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Each driver has own-career defining competitions (especially if we reducing whole their career to two-three achievements) and it is a very opinionated. For André Lotterer, F1 isn't career-defining, but does it mean that we should the whole Category:German Formula One drivers category? No, it doesn't. The same is true for N24 drivers category. Corvus tristis (talk) 17:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for advice but I wouldn't do a list which will be deleted like the category because of the inverted and inconsistent interpretation of guidelines by some users. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:00, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Is your opinion that a list would be deleted based on any evidence? I.e. has an AfD deleted a list of winners of a significant race? DexDor (talk) 19:21, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The category includes all drivers which have a wikipedia article, not just winners. My opinion based on some things said in the discussion and my experience on Wikipedia. So, of course, I haven't any desire to waste my time for anything which can be reverted or deleted. But if you want to listify by yourself, I wouldn't mind. Corvus tristis (talk) 03:26, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
We already have lists per year, for example in 2017 24 Hours of Nürburgring. A separate list article would only duplicate that information. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I assume initial propose was list like List of Formula One drivers. 2017 24 Hours of Nürburgring now is a stub with just result table, but definitely will be improved and will have more information in prose. Corvus tristis (talk) 07:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:LGBT people from Rivers State to Category:LGBT people from Nigeria
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by location, which does not meet either of the conditions required to qualify for an exemption: the intersection of LGBTness with individual Nigerian state is not a defining characteristic in its own right (e.g. there is no state in Nigeria which treats LGBT people differently than other Nigerian states do), and with just one entry in this category and just five in the target category, Category:LGBT people from Nigeria is nowhere near large enough to require diffusion by individual state.

  • Comment what criteria are used when tagging an article with this category? I looked at an example, sugar, and looked at the talk page - nothing struck me as different than our normal ways of writing articles by consensus much less any immediacy.
