Category:United States soccer logos would be appropriate if the overall convention of Category:Association football logos was changed from Fooian ... logos to Foo logos (e.g. Category:German football logos to Category:Germany football logos). -- |

| Gaelic footballers who switched code |
upmerge all to Category:Gaelic footballers who switched code, as well as (per BrownHairedGirl) to the appropriate (County) Gaelic footballers. Although the Manchester–Arsenal comparison might have been "erroneous", that was not the central issue. According to current categorization guidelines, category intersections of this type are appropriate if the intersection is not narrow (i.e., either one or both parents requires diffusion) or non-trivial (i.e., the intersection represents a unique topic of scientific or social interest). In this case, consensus is that Category:Gaelic footballers who switched code does not need diffusion at this time and it was not demonstrated that reliable sources directly connect switching code and county. -- |

| Islamophobia categories |
rename/merge country and region categories to "Opposition to Islam" equivalents, delete the empty Israel category and the Zionism category, renominate the Scholars category, upmerge Works category to Category:Anti-Islam works. This is a divisive discussion, but the camps are pretty clear. The main question here is, Should there be categories about hatred against Muslims in addition to those about opposition to Islam? The answer seems to be that on seven occasions editors created these categories, and on seven occasions they were deleted. These categories were recreated again only a month ago, and so they would have to pass a strong test to survive the repeated deletions. As evidenced by the comments below, they have not passed that test. The majority of editors here also seem unconvinced that these categories are sufficiently different than Category:Opposition to Islam and its related categories; at the very least, it is supremely hard to tell which articles would go into which category if both were maintained. A number of the "keep" voters believe the "Opposition" categories don't contain enough inherently condemnable character; opposition is something reasonable people can disagree on, while a phobia suggests inherently irrational beliefs. That's a reasonable argument, but the majority of commenters here don't buy it. The only value that seems to stick here is the ability to put Category:Islamophobia into Category:Hatred (which it is not currently in), but Category:Anti-Islam can and likely should go there. Now, let me also address the antisemitism question. Those categories are not inherent to this discussion. They can be nominated again, and (if past precedent holds) they will be supported again. But their mere existence does not in any way demand the creation of other parallel categories. Supporting one and not the other does not make anyone a bigot, and the willy-nilly claims thrown around in this discussion do not help the case of those supporting the Islamophobia categories. Especially, the Zionism category doesn't hold up; it seems to exist only to showcase the destructive activities of Anders Behring Breivik in a POV light. (I can't tell whether the empty Israel category was emptied out of turn, but if it was, it should be repopulated and renamed to Category:Opposition to Islam in Israel.) Finally, I'm not exactly sure what to do with the Scholars category, so I've renominated that. Undoubtedly, this decision will not please everyone; I encourage people who are upset with it to take the issue to WP:DRV rather than challenging me on my talk page |

rename to the common name Category:Archerfish. One rename or the other is required to remove ambiguity. There are many precedents against scientific names.
