- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Angolan LGBT people. Will merge manually. (non-admin closure) Cremastra (talk) 17:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Angolan LGBT musicians to Category:Angolan LGBT people
- Nominator's rationale: Not enough people to justify diffusion by occupation. The parent Category:Angolan LGBT people (0) only has a handful. Mason (talk) 23:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:10, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Journalists from the Northern Territory to Category:Australian journalists
- Nominator's rationale: Only has 1 entry LibStar (talk) 06:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I initally closed this as merge, reopening per discussion at WT:CFD/W.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Queen of Hearts (talk) 23:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am hesitant about this because Northern Territory would be the only state lacking in Category:Australian journalists by state or territory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- All the states have categories. Northern Territory is the only territory with a category; however, there is little difference between a territory and a state in this context. We are missing a category for the other territory (Category:Journalists from the Australian Capital Territory) for some reason. Mclay1 (talk) 02:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep – Helpful for navigation even if it's small. WP:SMALLCAT is no longer policy. For context, NT is by far the smallest state or territory (of the main eight) by population so it will always be a small category. Mclay1 (talk) 02:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above. Cremastra (talk) 17:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- 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:Egyptian women writers and Category:Writers from Cairo. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Female writers from Cairo to Category:Writers from Cairo
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between city, occupation, and gender. There's no need to add gender to the mix. If not merged, it should be renamed to "Women writers from Cairo). Mason (talk) 22:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it merged to Category:Egyptian women writers too? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom and also to Category:Egyptian women writers per Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:32, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- 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: rename to Category:Year in country portal box with no existing country portal. (non-admin closure) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Rename in the spirit of WP:C2D per {{Year in country portal box}}. It does not qualify for CFDS because it I only renamed earlier today per WP:TPN (which says we should use standard English spacing for template names), so I am bringing this to a full CFD.

- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining Mason (talk) 22:22, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: dual merge to Category:Federally Funded Research and Development Centers and Category:Military research organizations in the United States. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:37, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between branch of government and funding mechanismMason (talk) 22:22, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it also be merged to Category:Military research organizations in the United States? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: thoughts? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Good point. Merge to both is fine by me Mason (talk) 03:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- 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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:19, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:American provincial military personnel to Category:American militiamen
- Nominator's rationale: I created this cat, but I am on the fence for keeping it as a separate cat or merging with Category:American militiamen. Before trying to populate it further, I'm initiating this discussion to get additional opinions to determine if it should remain as a distinct category. Provincial troops in America, before gaining independence, were generally used in units raised by provincial governors and have differences as noted here. In some cases, provincial troops as loyalists would oppose militiamen during the American revolution. Should this remain a separate cat or merge with American militiamen? Semper fi!

- Propose merging Category:Industrial psychology experiments to Category:Psychology experiments
- Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation Mason (talk) 20:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Unhelpful ? when you are an industrialist and you want to know smth related to Industrial psychology things more you will find it helpful Ivan191navi (talk) 18:18, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- That is what Category:Industrial and organizational psychology is for. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- "The following 135 pages are in this category" - it is not so quickly to find experiments in that category. Ivan191navi (talk) 19:58, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- That is what Category:Industrial and organizational psychology is for. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Merge, currently only one article in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Procurement databases in the United States to Category:Government databases in the United States
- Propose deleting Category:Procurement databases (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:17, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining and heavily overlaping with Category:Alternative education. (All these categories have been made by the same user.) Mason (talk) 20:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, no objection to autodidacts per se but this one article is very uninformative about that aspect. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:14, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The category is currently and inappropriately titled as a "list" and should be renamed to correct this. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 19:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:17, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Pisan Romanesque style to Category:Romanesque architecture in Pisa
- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 15:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Don't think so. Pisan Romanesque style is a style, not linked to the city of Pisa per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:29, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The Pisan Romaneesque is not a set of buildings in Pisa. It is an architecture style known way beyond Pisa. Among many faraway examples in the current category, note the St. Mary Roman Catholic Church (Detroit) in the USA, so merge is impossible. --Викидим (talk) 21:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:14, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Newly created category contains only 2 articles, only 1 of which is citied in the article. Gjs238 (talk) 14:53, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OCAWARD. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- KEEP The Mainichi Design Prize is one of the most prestigious design prizes globally and has been awarded since 1952. For example see John Maeda's page https://acg.media.mit.edu/people/maeda/ where he describes it as "Japan's highest honor the Mainichi Design Prize". I would expect each recipient to be notable enough to have their own article, hence the need for a category. Isoceles-sai (talk) 12:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would expect every recipiant to be notable irrespective of the award, and notability of the recipiants is not a criterion anyway, because all biographies in Wikipedia are about notable subjects. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's significant that this is a self-published primary source. Per WP:RSPRIMARY, we should be focused on whether reliable secondary sources generally describe the recipient this way. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This award seems to reflect rather than confer prominence to the recipients so it falls short of being defining per WP:OCAWARD. Any reader interested this topic can find the info at Mainichi Design Prize#Recipients. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- 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: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:36, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Split between Colonial America and British North America categories. Most of these appear to be Colonial Americans pre-American Revolution; British North American was formed AFTER. Split between the two categories. Alternatively: Delete; majority of the people living in British North America and Colonial America were Anglicans so its WP:NONDEF (I prefer this but wasn't sure -- so two options). Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Mason (talk) 15:08, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it rather be split to Category:Anglicans from the Thirteen Colonies, per Category:People of the Thirteen Colonies? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, I'm not entirely sure there. @Smasongarrison, what do you think? Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ahhh, yes. 13 colonies was preferred over CA at a recent CFD. Mason (talk) 11:28, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: Omnis Scientia seems to prefer deletion; are you supporting splitting or deleting? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:13, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete is fine by me. My point was more that if we did split we'd want to do People of the Thirteen Colonies instead of CA Mason (talk) 03:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus, and thank God the bot has an option to close as keep. (non-admin closure) Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 00:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:AD 1 endings to Category:AD 1

- Propose merging Category:18 endings to Category:18
- Propose merging Category:19 endings to Category:19
- Propose merging Category:20 endings to Category:20
- Nominator's rationale: merge, this is an odd grouping of a "disestablishments" subcategory with a "deaths" subcategory, two completely unrelated topics. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:21, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: Disestablishments and deaths have in common precisely the fact that they are both types of ending. This is why we have a distinct Category:Endings (which does contain Category:Death and Category:Disestablishments). The endings-by-year categories are occasionally used for the endings of things that aren't obviously "disestablishments" (which Category:Disestablishments characterises as "ending of organizations, settlements, companies, or other things which involve a distinct body of people with a shared purpose") and, could be used for a wider range of endings (e.g. closing ceremonies, deaths, species extinctions). Existing examples: Governorship of Mike Huckabee, NASCAR Cup Series career of Jeff Gordon, 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides. In general, the things placed in the Disestablishments by year categories have probably tended to be a bit broader than the Category:Disestablishments definition...

- If it isn't I might be about to make it. Shouldn't beginnings be merged too? Merge per nom ~ Argenti Aertheri(Chat?) 19:10, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- I will follow up with beginnings after this. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose per Furius. This will result in some loss of specificity for unclear benefits, unless this discussion is also establishing a consensus to not include beginnings or endings categories for anything except births, deaths, establishments, and disestablishment. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:12, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Aviation historians to Category:Historians of aviation
