The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Paranormal places. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:01, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Paranormal places in Sweden to Category:Geography of Sweden

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Geography of Sweden and Category:Paranormal places). Estopedist1 (talk) 16:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Category:Paranormal places only, for now (the article is not about geography so merge to that category is not appropriate). However, the whole tree of Category:Paranormal places should be nominated for deletion per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. We already have a tree of Category:Reportedly haunted locations which should suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Category:Paranormal places — this is a train, not geography.

• Propose merging Category:Grasslands of Sweden to Category:Geography of Sweden

Nominator's rationale: redundant category layers. Sole article in Category:Meadows in Sweden‎ to be upmerged to Category:Meadows and Category:Geography of Sweden Estopedist1 (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge Category:Meadows in Sweden (also tagged for CfD) to Category:Meadows only, which leaves Category:Grasslands of Sweden empty. A merge to Category:Geography of Sweden is not needed, the article is already in the tree of Category:Geography of Halland County. Many sibling categories of Category:Grasslands of Sweden and Category:Meadows in Sweden‎ should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:52, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree, merge into a broader category. I'm still not sure I understand the differences between Grasslands, Meadows and Prairies! --Funandtrvl (talk) 17:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per Marco:
  • delete Category:Grasslands of Sweden
  • merge Category:Meadows in Sweden to Category:Meadows

• Propose merging Category:Water pollution in Sweden to Category:Environmental issues in Sweden

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Environmental issues in Sweden). Estopedist1 (talk) 16:31, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, the one article is hardly about water pollution. A number of sibling categories should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The small siblings in Category:Water pollution by country appear to be strongly defining.– Fayenatic London 07:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • They should be nominated for dual merging to Category:Water pollution indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

:* Propose deleting Category:Gothenburg-related lists ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

• Propose merging Category:Gothenburg-related lists to Category:Gothenburg and Category:Sweden-related lists and Category:Lists by city

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Sweden-related lists). Estopedist1 (talk) 14:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• @Estopedist1: please use {{cfm}} rather than {{cfd}} for such nominations. There is a danger of these being closed as "delete" instead of "merge", as nominated, which would result in the contents being removed from the parent hierarchies. – Fayenatic London 14:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Fayenatic london: thanks! It is not easy to grasp, because actually it is the category deleting, not merging. The content (i.e. sole article) will be upmerged, and this should be obvious for experienced admins Estopedist1 (talk) 14:23, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:07, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Pima (Native American) to Category:Akimel O'odham
• Propose renaming Category:Pima people to Category:Akimel O'odham people

Nominator's rationale: Rename category to match the parent article, Akimel O'odham. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 13:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. Akimel O'odham is the perferred term and the name of the main article. Yuchitown (talk) 17:04, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]
• Support — although technically Akimel O'odham people means "people people".

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Maps and Category:Images of Finland). Estopedist1 (talk) 12:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Dual merge per nom. A number of sibling categories should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• I'm indifferent about this, as the only member is a local page for a Commons image, created after the image was used on the main page in 2012. The image will still be findable via its Commons category. – Fayenatic London 14:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• @Fayenatic london: if you mean that the category may simply be deleted then I am ok with that too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, that's what I meant. It should either be merged or deleted, not kept. Another alternative is merging to Category:Maps of Europe.
  • I have nominated some siblings at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 February 28#Small categories of maps. – Fayenatic London 10:44, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete — already in commons category.

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Estonian activists and Category:Transhumanists). Estopedist1 (talk) 08:40, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom, surely to Category:Transhumanists). I am less sure if Category:Estonian activists is a suitable merge target. Many sibling categories may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:33, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:History of the Latvia national football team ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: redundand layers. Per WP:SMALLCAT. Sole article from Category:History of the Latvia national football team‎ to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Latvia national football team. Estopedist1 (talk) 08:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• @Estopedist1: it is the subcategory that should be nominated (at least). Once the subcategory is merged, this category will be deleted as empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete both, no upmerge — After no response for 8 days, I've added the subcategory to the nomination. But I've only so much time for helping folks who obviously have done many of these by now.
  William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Funerals in Cambodia to Category:State funerals in Cambodia

• Propose renaming Category:Funerals in Jordan to Category:State funerals in Jordan

• Propose renaming Category:Funerals in Venezuela to Category:State funerals in Venezuela
• Propose renaming Category:Funerals in Zambia to Category:State funerals in Zambia
• Propose keeping Category:State funerals in Azerbaijan
• Propose keeping Category:State funerals in Vatican City

Nominator's rationale: It would be more useful for these to be part of State funerals by country. – Fayenatic London 08:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Category:State funerals per WP:SMALLCAT. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Even though they are small, I would allow them under the exception to WP:SMALLCAT. Merging them to State funerals would be a partial duplicate of Category:Funerals by person, and would remove them from the other hierarchies of Events/Historical events/Ceremonies by country and Death by country. However, in the interests of consistency, I have also tagged the single-member State funerals categories for Azrbaijan and Vatican. – Fayenatic London 14:06, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Icelandic women environmentalists to Category:Icelandic environmentalists

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Icelandic environmentalists and Category:Women environmentalists). Estopedist1 (talk) 07:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: This is one of the non-diffusing categories in the series Category:Women environmentalists by nationality where there are quite a few other categories with just one or two entries. All these categories do however tend to evolve over time, especially when there is concerted focus under WP:Women in Red on climate or environment. In any case, there is no need to "merge" as the individual mentioned is already included in Category:Icelandic environmentalists.--Ipigott (talk) 07:14, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as a useful category within an established hierarchy. There is often going to be a first article for which a category needs to be created, and it is not a problem to have a category with, for now, just one article, if it has parent categories and fits the existing pattern of categories. This one does so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PamD (talk • contribs) 2023-02-20 08:11:02 (UTC)
