Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This category only has one person it in, which isn't helpful for navigation. I urge the category creator to only create categories that can be populated. Mason (talk) 23:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Badly-named (it would need to be pluralized as groups and have the I in "in" lowercased if it's to exist at all) category newly created to hold just one thing. A renamed version would be fine if there were five things to file here, but is not needed for just one, so the base "Law enforcement" category is all that's needed at this time.

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization at a bad name that doesn't comply with naming conventions for categories. We don't have any other categories that group banking executives separately from other-type-of-company executives -- i.e. no Category:Bank executives or Category:Banking executives tree exists at all -- but Nigeria doesn't have any special need to categorize banking executives separately from other business executives if no other country has that, and even if there were a valid reason to keep this it would have to be renamed for conformity with proper naming conventions anyway.

Nominator's rationale: Category for university and college honor societies on a non-defining characteristic. Honor societies are not defined by the colour of the finery that they present to their graduates. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On first blush I agree with your sentiment @Bearcat, however upon lengthy research, stoles are a central part of the reason people join honor societies, and gold stoles are a common thread and defining feature of many honor societies in particular. This is furthered by the idea of one honor society suing another for using gold stoles. I believe it's a meaningful category for the academic space, and a way students and schools do categorize societies. I would be open renaming as the wiki community sees fit.

Nominator's rationale: "Sport in X" category for a small town without enough noteworthy sporting events to need one. As always, every town that exists does not automatically get one of these the moment one sporting event with an article has been held there -- and while there is one other thing in the Norwood parent category that could be refiled here, there would need to be at least five sporting events with articles to file in here before a dedicated "Sports in Norwood" category was actually needed, and for just two events we only need the state-level sports category and Norwood's eponymous base category rather than an intersected crosscategory. And even if this were to be kept, it would have to be renamed to Sports, because there's an WP:ENGVAR difference between US and UK English here. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 11:30, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With the increasing use of "First Nations" as a synonym or replacement for "aboriginal" or "indigenous" in Australia, this category is starting to drift into ambiguous territory, and I've already had to clean it up at least once for the misfiling of several Australia-related topics. So we should probably now rename this to be more Canada-specific, and repurpose the plain "First Nations" as either a container for that and Australian indigenous categories, or a disambiguation category (or just a preemptive categoryredirect to the general Category:Indigenous peoples, since such usage may expand again in the future.) Some other subcategories will likely require renaming as well, but will have to be handled separately because there may be different issues in play (e.g. "First Nations in [Specific Canadian Province or Territory]" won't need renaming; Category:First Nations films will, but "First Nations in Canada films" won't be the correct answer; etc.), and they won't all be consistently one-size-fits-all.

Nominator's rationale: The main article for this category is Deng Chao, where Deng is the subject's family name. However it is not an eponymous category so not eligible for a speedy rename (correct me if I'm wrong on this point) Vegantics (talk) 14:52, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
