| Actresses |
Keep all. I am aware that such categories have been routinely deleted in the past. I am also aware that actor gender classification is given as a negative example in the well known guideline. Still it clear that the question whether actors need to be divided by gender has never been seriously discussed in the past. The events in 2012 changed all this. A new consensus seems to have emerged or at least is in the process of emerging. This consensus is that actors should be divided by gender because acting is a gendered profession and will remain so in the foreseeable future. (and that the example given in the guideline is a bad one) This new development is reflected in the present discussion where those who think that actress categories should be kept are in a majority. So, it is clear that there is a rough consensus to keep those categories. I am less sure about specific name for them. Should they be called "actresses" or " female actors"? This question has not been seriously discussed as all discussions have heavily focused on the very right of these categories to exist. Therefore, I think there is no consensus on the naming issue |

| Category:American actresses |
merge to Category:American actors. I carefully read this discussion and also kept a tally of the various opinions and weighed up the strengths of the various arguments. Assuming the category is to exist, the discussion clearly results in a "no consensus" with regards to whether it should be named "American actresses" or "American female actors". However, I do see a consensus on the issue of whether or not the category should exist at all. Yes, I realise that this result is different than that in two previous discussions for other nationalities here and here, but participation in this discussion was much wider and this discussion successfully reached a consensus, which the other ones did not. This discussion does not have to be the final word on the issue. |

rename all except those struck out. The key sentence here is from BrownHairedGirl: The question of whether PRC=China has been resolved with the renaming of the head article. Therefore, I am following the "rename to match the article name" rule. We can debate specific objections, but if they are only "China is more than the PRC," they will be passed over in favor of more substantiative arguments |

| Category:People in history by country |
delete, conditionally. This is an extremely ill-advised scheme. People are correctly categorized by where they're from and what they do, but the mere association with a nation's history is quite spongy. However, none of the subcategories are nominated, so I have to complete this nomination before proceeding. I'm abating the deletion of this category for a week, so that I can put up the subcategories for deletion in a series of nominations. After a week, I'm closing all of those nominations based on the consensus in each. Assuming I don't see a flood of support for those, I'll finish the deletion of the category and its subcategories |
