The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Censored works. Based on the arguments, there is a pretty clear consensus to keep this category, as well as to rename it to avoid confusion. ℯxplicit 05:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic and never complete. GZWDer (talk) 19:14, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
huh? delete or keep? Hmains (talk) 03:02, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Haha deeeeerp!, My bad should've said "No valid reason to keep", Many thanks for the ping Piotrus :). –Davey2010Talk 13:15, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per everyone above me, I think I've got confused and gone with delete when infact I wanted it kept ? God only knows but keep per everyone above. –Davey2010Talk 13:19, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wildlife of the Balkans

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: Merge. Timrollpickering 19:44, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Same topic. "Biota" is the term normally used for similar categories. DexDor (talk) 18:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the redundant categorization so now it's Wildlife under Biota under Organisms.
I think all/most of the Category:Wildlife should go, but I'm doing it slowly (e.g. in case editors decide that the merge should be in the other direction). DexDor (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 15:41, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Train station moving walkways to Category:Train stations with moving walkways
Nominator's rationale: The category is for stations, not walkways - existing title is unclear. (Not sure how useful a category it is, but that's another issue). PamD 15:38, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology in Switzerland / Helvetic Republic

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: Merge. Timrollpickering 22:00, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Helvetic Republic is the name of the political regime of Switzerland between 1798 and 1803. Despite the fact that its borders were not exactly identitical to that of modern Switzerland, there is no basis for an entire separate chronology tree.

The result of the discussion was: Merge/delete. Timrollpickering 10:07, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
more nominated categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, we have too few photographs articles per year, leading to many 1- or 2-article categories. Categorization per decade helps better to find photographs from approximately the same period. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:40, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Civics

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 Category:Civics to Category:Active citizenship, the second as nominated. ℯxplicit 05:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge/rename because these categories are not about civics as the study of citizenship but about citizenship itself. In addition I wonder if we shouldn't purge most subcats of the two nominated categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Alternative That would work for me! Support that alternative with the rename for the Global civics category. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:43, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just so the closing admin doesn't have to pick through this discussion, here is the alternative I supported:
-Propose renaming Category:Civics to Category:Active citizenship (Changed)
-Propose renaming Category:Global civics to Category:Global citizenship (As originally nominated) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Czech Lion Awards winners (people) to Category:Recipients of the Czech Lion Award
Nominator's rationale: Match the style of other categories, for instance Category:Recipients of the Distinguished Service Order and all other award categories that I know of. Catrìona (talk) 23:25, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Athletics clubs in the United States

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. ℯxplicit 05:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It is unclear how one can distinguish an "athletics club" from a general "sports club". This naming also presents ambiguity over whether the category relates to the sport of athletics, which is already covered at Category:Track and field clubs in the United States.

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 20:20, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: unnecessary intermediate category. Only one sub cat Rathfelder (talk) 07:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "If you think something needs to be upmerged, make sure that all parent categories are included in the nomination as merge targets (or make sure you have a good reason not to include all of the parents)." This advice can be found, not made long ago and buried in some obscure place far from Rathfelder's gaze, but on their own talk page in April 2018. I would be grateful if Rathfelder could commit either to heeding such advice or avoiding cfd and category space altogether. Oculi (talk) 14:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • We havent broken down steel companies to any other regions. Even in the USA they are not broken down into states. There doesnt seem to be any good reason for this particular subdivision. The only entry is for companies in Karachi. The articles both seem to be about companies, not about the mills themselves, as is the case with many of the articles about steel mills.. Rathfelder (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
