Category:Chancellors of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
- 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: dual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:02, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Overlaping categories. If not merged, the older category should be renamed rather than reverse merged. Mason (talk) 23:40, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, also to Category:Government officials of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Mosques of Leicestershire
- 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 Category:Mosques of Leicestershire to Category:Mosques in England; rename Category:Mosques of Lincolnshire to Category:Mosques in Lincolnshire. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:02, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Mosques of Leicestershire to Category:Mosques in Leicestershire
- Also propose renaming Category:Mosques of Lincolnshire to Category:Mosques in Lincolnshire
- Nominator's rationale: Compatibility with Category:Mosques in England and Category:Churches in Leicestershire, etc. PamD 10:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:02, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would support upmerging Category:Mosques of Leicestershire to Category:Mosques in England as it contains a single article which is also already categorised in the mosques of England category. AusLondonder (talk) 00:10, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- I support merging/deleting this category too. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- It now has two entries, and given the diverse population of Leicester I expect there may be many more to be created - and we have an editor who is creating a lot of mosque articles. PamD 07:43, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- I support merging/deleting this category too. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:43, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Support upmerge. Otherwise rename. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 14:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support merge for Leicester for now, with no prejudice against re-creation when more articles exist. Otherwise rename both. – Fayenatic London 15:00, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:09, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Titles held only by one person ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: The corresponding article for this topic was deleted a year ago, and I don't think this topic is particularly notable or likely to be covered in academic sources. Векочел (talk) 22:27, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Most of these are short-lived political offices. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:19, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Films directed by Dave Bullock ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films directed by Harry R. Durant ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films directed by Matt Flynn ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films directed by Jim Handley ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:Films directed by William H. Grimes ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Per longstanding consensus, a filmmaker has to have a biographical article about them before getting a "Films directed by" category to batch their films under. None of these categories have corresponding articles and all consist of only one film. An effort was make to broaden the categories by searching for other works by these filmmakers, and none were found. Vegantics (talk) 18:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Saulkrasti to Category:Saulkrasti Municipality
- Nominator's rationale: merge, only two articles in the category which are already interlinked directly. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:14, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support Per nom. AusLondonder (talk) 18:39, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Manosphere
- 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: purge of biographies. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:10, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Manosphere to Category:Manosphere and Category:Manosphere supporters
- Nominator's rationale: WP:COPSEP. Alternatively purge of individuals as Category:Men's rights activists exists. --woodensuperman 15:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Purge biographies, they are either in men's rights activists or it is a case of WP:OPINIONCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Purge biographies and add to Category:Men's rights activists per @Marcocapelle. "Manosphere supporters" is too subjective and arguably fails MOS:LABEL; if an included individual doesn't rightly belong in the men's rights category, we're definitely wading into WP:OPINIONCAT territory. Carguychris (talk) 22:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Purge and replace with Category:Men's rights activists. Raymond3023 (talk) 11:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- The latter not necessarily so, only replace if they really are activists. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:15, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Works about Yugoslav history
- 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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Works about Yugoslav history to Category:Works about Yugoslavia
- Propose merging Category:History of Yugoslavia in fiction to Category:Yugoslavia in fiction
- Nominator's rationale: merge, not a clear distinction versus its parent category, considering that Yugoslavia itself is meanwhile history. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support, following Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_October_16#Category:History_of_Yugoslavia. – Fayenatic London 15:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Populated places in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic, we do not usually categorize populated places by former country divisions, we do not have Category:Populated places in the Austrian Empire either. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Sabile ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) added the next day
- Propose deleting Category:Smiltene ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) added the next day
- Nominator's rationale: delete, each of these categories only contains the eponymous article and a subcategory. The subcategory suffices. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:35, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:Esports techniques
- 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: withdrawn. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Esports techniques to Category:Video game techniques and strategies
- Nominator's rationale: This rename will make this category more broad, the Russian Wikipedia ironically already goes for more board scope as opposed to targeting esports specifically. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 23:43, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, but by all means create a parent category Category:Video game techniques and strategies and populate it. There is no reason specified why we would remove the articles in this category from the tree of Category:Esports. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment, I removed the sitelink to the Russian Wikipedia from this page. Also I used the targeted name "Video game techniques and strategies" instead of "Video game techniques" due to the conflict with techniques and strategies being different. Though, yeah you're right, don't rename
