  • Propose renaming Category:Storyteller at The Moth to Category:Storytellers at The Moth
Nominator's rationale: Or non-defining. Fuddle (talk) 23:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Stories told at The Moth are told by a wide spectrum of individuals from police officers to astronauts to musicians to teachers to nurses to incarcerated individuals to students and, therefore, are not in conflict with WP:PERFCAT. See Fact Sheet from The Moth.

  • Propose renaming Category:Bavarian diplomats to Category:Diplomats from Bavaria
Nominator's rationale: In line with similar categories - to make it clearer that this is about their origin/location. This is not intended to be a category just for diplomats of the Kingdom of Bavaria. There arent enough articles about them to justify a separate category. Rathfelder (talk) 22:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bavarian in the 21st century is neither a nationality nor referring to an independent state. The alt rename unambiguously makes it clear that it is referring to the former state (kingdom, electorate, duchy), in line with sibling categories by former country. Note that Bavaria even as an electorate / duchy in the Holy Roman Empire was independent "enough" to have their own diplomats, although we do not have articles about that period in this category yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:03, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, its very weird. The army was independent - except where war was involved! Rathfelder (talk) 20:26, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category contains the article about the topic of the category and 4 elections in which he participated. User:Namiba 13:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was not right for a different reason. We should not categorize people by serial events that are a natural consequence of their occupation, to avoid category clutter. Serial events are performances for performers, elections for politicians. But the reverse is not true: we may categorize events by the main players in that event, as happened in this case. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:35, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I can't find any evidence that a club of this name ever competed in Scottish football, at senior or junior level. We have no article on a team of this name. The category contains only one player, John McDougall (footballer, born 1900), with the sole evidence for their existence being the single source in his article, a simple list of clubs played for, without context, in his ENFA entry. I have searched Google and the British Newspaper Archive and can find no trace of a club of this name. A possibility is that it's a garbled reference to some sort of schools or juvenile team, perhaps connected with Hamilton Academical F.C.. Whatever, there doesn't seem to have been a notable club of this name to justify a category. Jellyman (talk) 16:32, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:IIFA Utsavam winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The IIFA Utsavam is a an award founded in 2016 for the south Indian film industry. While the award certainly aspires to be prominent it's not there yet and the only article in this category doesn't even mention this award so it doesn't seem defining. The contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Carl Nielsen Prize winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:V and WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
We don't have an article on the Carl Nielsen Prize but, based on the contents, it must be a Danish composing award named after Carl Nielsen. Most of the articles don't mention the award at all but some mention it in passing or in the lede so, while I can't say for sure whether this award is defining, there's nothing in English Wikipedia that even hints that it might be. I listed the current category contents right here so no work is lost if anyone wants to create a main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:07, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
