Propose renaming Category:World War II Internees to Category:People interned during World War II

Nominator's rationale: Rename to be more consistent with a sub-cat and some others. – Fayenatic London 23:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. A more descriptive name avoids confusion. Dimadick (talk) 09:24, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Children of Irene of Athens (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Textbook WP:SMALLCAT Constantine ✍ 18:14, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per WP:SMALLCAT: "Avoid categories that, by their very definition, will never have more than a few members, unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme". It this case the sub-categorization scheme is Category:Children by person, with the children of other Roman emperors. Dimadick (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is only one child. Absurd overcategorization and there are very few categories of this nature (just a handful all created by Dimadick in 2019). The others should also be deleted. DrKay (talk) 19:54, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A few were created by User:*Treker, and one by User:Invokingvajras. Are you accusing me of sockpuppetry? Dimadick (talk) 09:29, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, this is a borderline trivial characteristic that we should only allow for cases with an exceptionally large number of children. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's insane to categorize something which there is only one of. There are many cases when having "Children of X person" is helpful, such as when there are several children and a person, there is a page dedicated to the topic of the persons children, or at least one of the children has their own category which can be placed in the parent category. Being a child of an emperor (or other imensely powerful figure) is a pretty defining trait, but for this case its clearly not helpful.★Trekker (talk) 09:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The category scheme cited by Dimadick is one whose very existence is questionable. The accepted minimum for a category is 5 members and we should generally stick to that. The merit for such a category scheme might be to provide a long genealogical series of them, but I do not consider that a useful use of the WP category system.

The result of the discussion was: merge both at Category:Enclaved countries. MER-C 10:14, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Enclave countries to Category:Countries completely surrounded by only one country

Nominator's rationale: Elizium23 (talk) 14:38, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverse merge - a parent is Category:Enclaves and exclaves. The target of the nom is somewhat cumbersome. Or merge both to Category:Enclaved countries per Enclave and exclave#Enclaved_countries. Oculi (talk) 17:27, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rename the second per Oculi and merge the first (since it is new) to it. – Fayenatic London 23:24, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support alternative offered by Oculi and Fayenatic L. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:08, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reverse merge - The text "Countries completely surrounded by only one country" will do very well as a headnote for that, as the term will not be obvious to every one. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:51, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Mayors of places in Auckland Region to Category:Mayors of places in the Auckland Region

Nominator's rationale: It's not "Auckland Region", it's "the Auckland Region", as all other categories pertaining to it show. Grutness...wha? 12:32, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
