- Nominator's rationale: Mason (talk) 00:03, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: There's only one page in here British West Indian labour unrest of 1934–1939, and an extraordinary number of redundant parent categories . Mason (talk) 23:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Labor disputes in Uganda ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete for now. The only page is here (Uganda National Teachers Union) is about a teacher's union, its not about a labor dispute Mason (talk) 23:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Cenozoic pinnipeds to Category:Prehistoric pinnipeds
- Nominator's rationale: Pinnipeds first appeared in the Paleogene, so all pinnipeds are Cenozoic. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Cenozoic horses to Category:Prehistoric horses
- Nominator's rationale: Horses first appeared in the Ypresian, so all horses are Cenozoic. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Cenozoic bears to Category:Prehistoric bears
- Nominator's rationale: Bears first appeared in the late Eocene, so all bears are Cenozoic. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Sexual assault in education
- 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: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Sexual assault in education to Category:Sexual harassment in education
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge because there's not really a need to distinguish between type of sexual crimes/abuse etc. Moreover, there isn't a sexual assault tree, it redirects to sexual abuse Mason (talk) 18:45, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Films about con artists

- The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Films about con artists to Category:Films about scam artists
- Nominator's rationale: Consistency with the article scam. And con artist redirects there. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose – "con artist" is a significantly more common term than "scam artist". See the ngrams, for example. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:29, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per jlwoodwa; if we had an article on con/scam artists (which I'm surprised we don't) the category name would depend on the article, but in lieu of that con artist is the common name. Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 06:21, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Video games based on Marvel Comics and Category:Guardians of the Galaxy. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. Would also need to merge into Category:Guardians of the Galaxy. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:58, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:28, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only contains two entries. Would probably also need to merge into Category:Thor (Marvel Comics) in other media and other appropriate subcategories as well. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, also merge to "Video games based on" parents, so five targets in total. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:30, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1867 in Germany to Category:1867 in the North German Confederation
- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1868 in Germany to Category:1868 in the North German Confederation
- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1869 in Germany to Category:1869 in the North German Confederation

- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1870 establishments in Germany to Category:1870 establishments in the North German Confederation
- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1868 disestablishments in Germany to Category:1868 disestablishments in the North German Confederation
- REDIRECT Propose renaming Category:1870 disestablishments in Germany to Category:1870 disestablishments in the North German Confederation
- Nominator's rationale: rename and purge, this was a short period after the German Confederation was abolished and the German Empire did not exist yet. In these years there was a North German Confederation led by Prussia, of which Baden and Bavaria were not a member (so they should be purged). If renamed, these categories can also conveniently be added to the tree of Category:North German Confederation. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. If renamed, redirects should be left to help with templates. Mason (talk) 23:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Good point, I have added that to the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Aviation accidents and incidents caused by navigation system failure
- 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: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:31, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: No need to distinguish by which instrument failed Mason (talk) 15:41, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. One article can be put in the airliner subcat though. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. FYI, I have nominated the destination category for renaming as Category:Aviation accidents and incidents involving flight instrument failure, primarily because instrument (or navigation system) failure is almost always subsidiary to pilot error in notable aircraft accidents. Only small, simple modern aircraft are configured in such a way that all or most flight instruments are likely to fail simultaneously, and those accidents are seldom notable.

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Airliner bombings by country to Category:Airliner bombings
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. This category isn't helpful for navigation with only two countries in it Mason (talk) 15:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Violates WP:OCLOCATION and WP:NARROWCAT; the absolute number of airliner bombings is too small to warrant subdividing, it's unlikely to grow substantially in the future, and the country where a bombing took place is not a central defining characteristic. OCLOCATION dictates that countries of occurrence may be useful for dividing up huge and unwieldy categories, but this isn't one of them, and is unlikely to ever be.

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Reinforcement technology ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Vague category that doesn't help navigation. Nor is in limited to the parent category of Reinforced concrete Mason (talk) 15:37, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Satellite meteorology in Europe
- 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: merge to Category:Satellite meteorology. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Satellite meteorology in Europe ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Only page isn't about Satellite meteorology in Europe. It's a method that's not exclusive to Europe Mason (talk) 15:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle per nom, but I guess this should be merged to Category:Satellite meteorology. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Great suggestion! Mason (talk) 23:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Health services research to Category:Health research
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There's no parent Health services, so I see not benefit to isolating this content Mason (talk) 15:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom, but the subcategory can be excluded from the merge operation, it is already in the tree of Category:Health research. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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: single merge. (non-admin closure) Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 06:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Door surrounds to Category:Doors and Category:Architectural elements
- Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge this underpopulated category Mason (talk) 15:22, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom, but to Category:Architectural elements only, the article is already in Category:Door furniture. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:38, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me Mason (talk) 03:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:34, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Barbuda Highlands to Category:Protected areas of Antigua and Barbuda and Category:Geography of Barbuda
- Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. There are only two pages in this category, which isn't helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 15:19, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but afterwards purge Castle Hill (Barbuda) from Category:Protected areas of Antigua and Barbuda, it does not belong there. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me Mason (talk) 03:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Antiguan and Barbudan spacewomen to Category:Antigua and Barbuda women and Category:Space tourists
- Nominator's rationale: Duel upmerge. There's no need to diffuse space tourists by the 2x intersection of nationality and gender Mason (talk) 15:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Single merge because the article is already in Category:Antigua and Barbuda women in business. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Student history societies to Category:Historical societies
- Nominator's rationale: Category contains a single article and is unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 13:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle but merge also to Student subject associations. Mason (talk) 14:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. If it is a student association then by all means dual merge, but that is not super clear from the article text. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:16, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Sexual assaults in Germany to Category:Sex crimes in Germany
- Nominator's rationale: Contains only one article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 13:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Also the category tree Sexual assault is overlapping. Mason (talk) 14:00, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. We do not even have Category:Sexual assaults. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:British swimming sports executives to Category:Swimming sports executives
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary sub-category, contains two articles while parent contains none. We already have Category:Presidents of World Aquatics. AusLondonder (talk) 12:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support now that both have been added to British sports executives and administrators. Mason (talk) 14:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Student debating societies and Category:Student culture in the United Kingdom. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing two redirects, unnecessary sub-categorisation by country, can easily be accommodated in the parent category. AusLondonder (talk) 12:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support in theory, but it should also be merged to Student culture in the United Kingdom Mason (talk) 14:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Star Wars puppets ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This is referring to characters, not the puppets themselves. While these characters may once have been depicted as a puppet, that is certainly not true for all of their appearances. Jabba and Yoda were depicted as CGI at times. Ackbar is more of a human actor in costume than a puppet. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:36, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Taxation in Texas to Category:State taxation in the United States
- Nominator's rationale: only page in here isn't unique to texas Mason (talk) 05:28, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Guqin educators to Category:Guqin
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one page in here, and its an internet directory of educators, not any bios of specific educators. Mason (talk) 02:26, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, also to Category:Music education. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Defunct airlines of the Caribbean and Category:Companies of Grenada. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:13, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Defunct airlines of Grenada ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article which is List of defunct airlines of Grenada. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 02:12, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Why not merge it to Defunct airlines of the Caribbean, Defunct airlines by country, and Airlines of Grenada? Please consider what happens to the contents of the category when you recommend delete. Mason (talk) 02:29, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Because the first two are container categories and the third is a category with no articles and which this list is unsuitable for. I also think the list article is already appropriately categorised. AusLondonder (talk) 02:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Why not merge it to Defunct airlines of the Caribbean, Defunct airlines by country, and Airlines of Grenada? Please consider what happens to the contents of the category when you recommend delete. Mason (talk) 02:29, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge to Category:Defunct airlines of the Caribbean and Category:Airlines of Grenada. The former does not have to be a container category, there are lots of subcategories in it that can be upmerged too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe to defunct airlines of the Caribbean, but the Airlines of Grenada category is currently empty other than this category. AusLondonder (talk) 00:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- Fair point, then merge to Category:Defunct airlines of the Caribbean and Category:Companies of Grenada instead. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Diplomatic missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation as contains no actual diplomatic missions and only one article, the List of diplomatic missions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. AusLondonder (talk) 02:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Contains only a single article which is about the chief executive of an energy supplier. AusLondonder (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it also be merged to Category:Businesspeople in the gas industry? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Useless category containing a single article. AusLondonder (talk) 13:52, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be merged to its parent category? This is really just a question, 'no' can also be a good answer. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Party lists
- 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: no consensus. A merge proposal suggesting Category:Electoral lists as a target might find consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:15, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Party lists to Category:Lists of political candidates by nationality
- Nominator's rationale: Party lists are also lists of candidates. The distinction between the two categories isn't apparent and thus makes it harder to find similar lists in other countries. Dajasj (talk) 05:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Merge, per nom, but then move Category:Candidate lists for European Parliament elections directly under Category:Lists of political candidates.Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- To add to this, State list (Germany) also needs another place Dajasj (talk) 07:53, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Electoral lists The article discussing "party lists" is called "electoral list," so I feel the category should match the article title. I oppose the proposed merge target because it seems more confusing than helpful. (Political parties are not nationalities). - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 18:04, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Hm, this is clearly an unnecessary fork. They should all three be merged together.Marcocapelle (talk) 18:31, 13 September 2024 (UTC)- I disagree. The articles in your proposed target include countries that don't use party list systems (e.g., the United States). "Electoral lists" are lists of candidates in specific systems. It makes sense that we have a category dedicated to these types of lists. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that the "nationalities" part is also not ideal. But the articles in Category:Electoral lists are a different type of articles, not a list of candidates but a description of a single electoral group. Not sure whether these belong in the same category?Dajasj (talk) 19:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- "Party list" is given as type of electoral list in the lead of the article. I guess there's an argument that this category should be a subcategory of Category:Electoral lists, but I don't really see the need for two separate categories here. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Only now I realize there is confusion between Wikipedia lists versus real-life lists (as a topic in its own right). There should be two independent trees after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

- Your latest changes made it so that Category:Party lists in South African general elections is not part of Category:Lists of political candidates by nationality, which I believe it should be because it is a list of candidates. Dajasj (talk) 06:17, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- No, Category:Lists of political candidates by nationality is for Wikipedia list articles, not for real-life lists like Party lists. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:34, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the article is both an overview of real-life lists as well as a Wikipedia list of all candidates. (except for the Philippines for some reason). Dajasj (talk) 07:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: For those favoring a merge, do you agree with the updated Category:Electoral lists target? There is no clear consensus on whether a merge should happen, so a relist is also to allow for participation to determine if there is consensus for any merge.

- Propose merging Category:Spanish anarcho-syndicalists to Category:Spanish anarchists
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant categorisation as most Spanish anarcho-syndicalists were members of the CNT and the few left over aren't meaningfully distinct from other categories of Spanish anarchists. Grnrchst (talk) 16:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
