Nominator's rationale: Ungrammatical and seems to duplicate Category:Forced disappearances. Zanhe (talk) 22:52, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: It contained three articles: Forced disappearance, Dong Yaoqiong, and Meng Hongwei (who was arrested, not "disappeared"). -Zanhe (talk) 18:14, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories on same topic ((3x|p))ery (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No strong objection. The later category is populated by Template:TemplateData header. Neither category is particularly comprehensive. Wikipedia:TemplateData/List does a better job.--Salix alba (talk): 07:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up removal of empty bacteria decadal categories, per WP:TREE RFC @ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Request for comment: categorizing by year of formal description.

Category:Catholic Church offices

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 October 17#Category:Catholic Church offices. ℯxplicit 03:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pretty much identical scope? For any entry that cannot be dealt with as inside an identical scope should probably rather be subcategorised somewhere else? Chicbyaccident (talk) 07:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't object to Category:Catholic ecclesiastical titles, but keeping the category name at offices does not harm either. I left Category:Holy orders in the Catholic Church‎ here as a subcategory but I do wonder what it is really meant for. With the current content, it is not quite about the topic holy orders (apart from the eponymous article). Marcocapelle (talk) 13:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure either. It is rather unclear. That's why I think this category merits some reconsidering. Chicbyaccident (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (@Marcocapelle:, I will ask you to purge what needs to go.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose selectively merging Category:People associated with the New Deal to Category:New Deal
Nominator's rationale: delete most of the content per WP:OCASSOC, most people in the category are government officials and presidential advisors in the period of the New Deal (who can be classified by their function/role); there are also a few opponents of the New Deal, but note we already have a List of critics of the New Deal. However, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the two subcategories should be moved into Category:New Deal. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:17, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCASSOC and WP:SMALLCAT. No need to merge, the content is already elsewhere in the tree of Category:Chocolate. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
