  • Propose renaming Category:Nizams Dominion to Category:UNKNOWN
Nominator's rationale: Another subcat of Category:Nizams of Hyderabad by the same (blocked) editor as the two below, this one contains a city, two regions, and four former regions. Presumably these correspond to the territory formerly ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad. I'm not sure what should be done with the category; open to the option of deletion. – Fayenatic London 20:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • (reaction on suggestion) We do not categorize current places or current areas by former borders. That is hardly ever defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:38, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete; could be re-created if someone cares to create Template:R from nickname. Good Ol’factory (talk) 07:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This empty category is covering the same topic as the non-empty newly created one. Template:R from nickname should also be retargeted to Template:R from colloquial name. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Poorly defined category of characteristic that is often not defining, and very unlikely to be anywhere near complete. Who is "elderly"? Is there an age range? How many thousands of fictional people qualify? Escape Orbit (Talk) 12:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Complete list is on the talk page
Top of the US city list:
Complete list is on the talk page
Nominator's rationale: merge. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion in which other editors than me suggested the above merge. Initially I was a bit skeptical about it, until I realized that nonprofit organizations contains nearly all types of organizations except companies and maybe just a few other types. So non-profit organizations is essentially a kind of WP:OCMISC - "all other organizations".
Something specific needs to be said about the U.S. city subcats. There is quite a substantial number of city subcats in Virginia and Washington (state) where there is no Organizations parent category to merge to for that city. In that case I propose a dual merge to the Organizations category of the state and to the broad city category (or if that does not even exist, to the county). For that purpose I've also listed the top of the U.S. city categories up here as an example. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Missouri Confederate Civil War regiments to Category:Missouri Confederate Civil War regiments

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame was established in 1993 to honor Canadians active in auto racing. The organization seems fairly obscure and the articles are already Most of these articles mention the award in passing with other awards, with some exceptions that mention it in the lede or not at all. (Most the articles are so short there's no difference between the body and the intro though.) The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Fame inductees
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD, WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The UFC Hall of Fame was founded in 2003 and celebrates fighers who competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship earlier in their career. Except for a couple execs and an announcer, these articles are in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship male fighters and many are also in Category:Ultimate Fighting Championship champions. Getting this award later for that earlier effort is non-defining. That's reflected in the articles where this award is generally listed in passing with other accomplishments although one enthusiastic editor moved this award into the intro for many articles. The contents of the category are already listified here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
