  • Propose merger Category:People by city or town in County Dublin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    into Category:People by city or town in the Republic of Ireland
Nominator's rationale: Superfluous intermediate category. County Dublin was abolished in 1994. These places are all categorised properly in the 3 new counties. Rathfelder (talk) 19:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the parent Category:County Dublin exists, and has almost 100 eponymous subcats. There is no reason to rip out one part of this established series. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:56, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Correction: I just checked, and Category:County Dublin actually has 122 subcats which include the words "County Dublin".
It's a pity that @Rathfelder didn't take a minute to study the category structure before making this nomination. Even a few seconds to navigate to Category:County Dublin should have been enough. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Association football players who received a testmonial (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Propose deleting Category:Association football players who received a testimonial (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Less than realistic misspelling, coming from an error when someone made a mistake before moving it to the real category. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 14:44, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't understand why you all also want to delete the other category as well. We know full well that several footballers like Wayne Rooney or Vincent Kompany for example, have received testimonial matches before, and just deleting the entire category because some articles were miscategorized seems very extreme. Testimonial matches are usually mentioned near the end of someone's club or international career, not the beginning. This is a nomination for the soft redirect, not its target.

Category:Television shows shot in Bihar

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: WP:IAR procedure. The general consensus was that the categories are in and of themselves valid because they exist in a series, Category:Television series by country of shooting location. However, in the course of discussion, Category:Television shows shot in Bihar was depopulated and will be eligible for deletion under WP:C1 shortly. Category:Television shows shot in Cambodia will be renamed to Category:Television shows filmed in Cambodia in keeping with the naming conventions in the series. bibliomaniac15 22:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no established category tree for television shows shot in a particular location, and these categories have just one and two pages, respectively. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:39, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is Category:Television_series_by_country_of_shooting_location—Prisencolin (talk) 04:33, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. — JJMC89 (T·C) 07:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose Deleting Category:Fictional Assyrian people
  • Propose Deleting Category:Fictional American people of Assyrian descent
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an unpopulated category
This tree only has one article, Yossarian, who is a character in two of Joseph Heller's novels, Catch-22 and its sequel Closing Time. The main article has a relevant passage for this nomination:
Catch-22 introduces Yossarian as an American soldier in World War II with Assyrian heritage, although Closing Time clarifies this to be a joke and that his heritage and surname are in fact Armenian.
An alternate approach here would be for me to just empty the category but I wanted to make sure we had consensus since the character seems Assyrian in the first book. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
