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. Timrollpickering 20:03, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains Category:Diplomatic missions in Houston, and no pages. Looking at the subcategories of Category:Diplomatic missions in the United States, none of them are indexed by county, only by city where applicable. MBD123 (talk) 22:02, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Urban sprawl to Category:Peri-urbanisation
Nominator's rationale: We have two articles on this subject one called urban sprawl the other peri-urbanisation; the former is cited as the topic article for the category. In the introduction to that article it is noted that the term "urban sprawl" is problematic, even pejorative. ("The term urban sprawl is highly politicized, and almost always has negative connotations. It is criticized for causing environmental degradation, and intensifying segregation and undermining the vitality of existing urban areas and attacked on aesthetic grounds. Due to the pejorative meaning of the term, few openly support urban sprawl as such. The term has become a rallying cry for managing urban growth"). In light of that, I suggest we rename the category to the neutral term. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Only few articles" or "several other articles", that may not be so far apart. Anyway, if the category is kept then move/purge the articles that are not about this topic. I do not have a strong opinion about renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Probably a 100% overlap with category:Radio actors; "drama" specifciation seems overdetailed. Only has 4 articles Cnbrb (talk) 15:06, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete category and upmerge template (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's evidently interest in this topic, as all articles are above the stub level. Propose deleting this stub category, and having the template upmerge to Category:asteroid stubs. Dawynn (talk) 14:37, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The French First Republic (1792-1804) and French Third Republic (1870-1940) are not past countries, they are past political regimes of an extant country, France. Years categories before, in-between and after these regimes are all listed in Category:Years in France, and I do not see any purpose of singling out these two subcategories. Note that they are not correctly filled anyway, Years of the French Third Republic starting with Category:1902 in France while the regime started in 1870.

Nominator's rationale: Defunct minor league team category with just two entries and unlikely to get more. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 19:13, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:Arab people

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. Timrollpickering 08:49, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The main article is Arabs, and Arab people is a redirect to it. As far as I know, we don't generally use "people" when the demonym is commonly and unambiguously used to refer to the people in question, e.g. Category:Ancient Greeks rather than the redirect Category:Ancient Greek people.
