Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2014 April index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:0 hyperbolic volume knots and links | rename | April 17 |
| Category:11th-century in the United States | merge to Category:11th century in North America | April 7 |
| Category:12th century in the United States | merge | April 8 |
| Category:15th century in the Mamluk Empire | Rename to Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo). Consensus is for a rename. Given that the top level category is Category:Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo) and the main article is Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo), that clearly is the proper choice and any other cleanup should fit the speedy criteria | April 6 |
| Category:1917 in the Palestinian territories | Merge | April 8 |
| Category:1920s in Syria | merge. – | April 6 |
| Category:1985 German television series debuts | Keep | April 20 |
| 19th century in Pakistan | delete all | April 5 |
| Category:2002 Dutch television series debuts | keep | April 20 |
| Category:2011 UEFA Women's U-19 Championship | moved | April 20 |
| Category:2014 pro-Russian protests in Ukraine | rename | April 29 |
| 4th and 6th centuries in Israel | No consensus. To rather loosely paraphrase/summarise - there were decent points made both for (" mass cleanup is in process") and against ("...that may be, but quite a bit of OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and there is less-than-clarity in naming (presumably due to Wikipedia's usage of COMMONNAME, among other things) when differentiating between a political entity and a region"). All that said, I'd like to suggest all commenters should read Template:Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement. What I read below could very well have resulted in warnings/sanctions per that (not to mention existing Wikipedia policy). I strongly suggest that we not see any repeat of this at CfD. - | April 1 |
| 4th century in Guatemala | merge. There is a clear consensus to merge in this case, and there has been a fairly consistent and long-standing consensus at CFD not to use anachronistic geographical categorisation. However, two editors ( |
April 7 |
| Category:Actors of European descent | no consensus, except on the fact that if it is to exist, it should generally only be a container category and should not be applied directly to articles. There was general agreement on that point | April 24 |
| Category:Actors of European descent | relisted at CFD 2014 April 24 | April 4 |
| Category:Actors of Norwegian and Brazilian descent | delete all, but merge articles to Category:Nigerian people of Norwegian descent or Category:Nigerian people of Brazilian descent | April 4 |
| Category:Actors who died during production of a film or television show | delete | April 27 |
| Category:AFC DWS players | merge to AFC DWS players. (By now, this effectively means "keep".) – | April 18 |
| Category:AFC U-14 Championship | speedy delete as empty. It appears that all of the contents were deleted at AFD. | April 5 |
| Category:African-American women judges | upmerge to all parents. The nominator and participants did not give any reason for omitting the third parent Category:African-American women, so the pages should go up into that one as well. – | April 29 |
| Category:Afro-Asian Cup of Nations | merge | April 6 |
| Category:American (x) philosophers | no consensus. The nominated categories may be presented again on a case by case basis. – | April 17 |
| American expatriate soccer people | delete. Per comments, I am upmerging each to the corresponding "FOOian expatriate sportspeople in BAR", since those currently exist as parent categories in all of these cases | April 7 |
| American speculative fiction writers | keep American category as container category, disperse and delete the other. – | April 10 |
| Category:Amphibians of Albania | merge, but split the last into Category:Endemic amphibians of the Iberian Peninsula. – | April 18 |
| Category:Amphibians of the Iberian Peninsula | rename and purge per revised nomination. – | April 18 |
| Category:Ancient Jewish villages in the Land of Israel | rename. – | April 23 |
| Category:Ancient Norwegian monuments | delete; Category:Buildings and structures owned by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments was created during the discussion and is populated | April 5 |
| Category:Androgyny | keep but listify and purge of biographies. – | April 30 |
| Category:André Hazes | delete | April 26 |
| Category:Animals having identical common and scientific names | delete | April 5 |
| Category:Animated film articles with comments | keep | April 30 |
| Category:Animated films work group articles | Keep | April 30 |
| Category:Anime and manga character stubs | double upmerge. – | April 25 |
| Category:Answers in Genesis staff and speakers | delete; if someone creates Category:Answers in Genesis people and limits it to people who are closely affiliated to that group, that category may be nominated and then the issue can be considered anew. But there's clear consensus here that being a speaker at AiG events would not be defining for the speaker. | April 24 |
| Category:Anti-intellectualists | delete | April 17 |
| Arizona/New Mexico Territories | rename/split (in some cases, merging) per nom, using "New Mexico Territory" for 1846/7. – | April 9 |
| Category:Art parks | merge. – | April 27 |
| Category:Assyrian Empire | speedy merge as duplicate of Category:Assyria per WP:NOTBURO | April 24 |
| Category:Astronomy people | rename | April 20 |
| Category:Attack Attack! songs | no consensus | April 29 |
| Category:Audacity Innovative | delete | April 23 |
| Category:Australian nuclear test sites | rename to Category:Nuclear test sites in Australia | April 17 |
| Category:Automobiles powered by mid-mounted 4-cylinder engines | merge to Category:Mid-engined automobiles | April 10 |
| Avant-garde metal | no consensus. It was opposed as ambiguous, and the nominator has not replied to the objections. Moreover, multiple citations in the article use "avant-garde. This discussion might have attracted more comments if the pages had been re-tagged with direct links instead of relying on finding a link from the Speedy page. – | April 25 |
| Category:Award-winning Teacher | delete | April 2 |
| Category:Biophysical Society Awards | merge to Category:Biophysics, also to Category:American science and engineering awards since Category:Awards by subject is more significant and well-developed than Category:Awards by awarding entity. The three awards are already mentioned in the Society article. – | April 26 |
| Category:Breweries (buildings) | rename. WP:NOTBURO | April 21 |
| Category:British companies established in 2008 | keep | April 1 |
| Category:British royal commissions | rename | April 30 |
| Category:Burials in the Kamehameha Tomb (Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii) | upmerge all to Category:Burials at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii | April 10 |
| Category:Cambodian Genocide victims | rename. – | April 25 |
| Category:Canadian women newspaper editors | delete | April 6 |
| Categories: Actors by ethnicity | delete | April 1 |
| Categories:Andronikashvili, Khimshiashvili and Kherkheulidze family | keep the first, delete the others. The pages Khimshiashvili and Kherkheulidze now have links to both other pages not previously listed from their family categories. – | April 9 |
| Category:Category definition templates | merge | April 21 |
| Category:Central American Peace and Solidarity Movement | rename to Category:Central America solidarity movement | April 6 |
| Category:Chadian cuisine | delete. There is a certain weird beauty to the article name "Stews of Chad" | April 16 |
| Category:Chapman & Hall books | keep per precedents. If people want to press for a deletion then I suggest an RFC at WikiProject Books, rather than a test case. – | April 25 |
| Category:Christian female saints of the Middle Ages | no consensus. One option would be to upmerge the century sub-cats to all parents, e.g. Category:5th-century Christian female saints to Category:5th-century Christian saints, Category:5th-century women and Category:Christian female saints of the Middle Ages. However, there is not enough consensus here to do that, as those have not been tagged; if anyone wants to do that, I suggest a new nomination, tagging Category:Christian female saints by century and the century sub-cats. Alternatively, JPL suggests below that it would be better to split all saints categories between men and women. Perhaps a discussion at WikiProject Saints would be appropriate before starting that. – | April 25 |
| Category:Chthonic | rename | April 2 |
| Category:City University Network | delete | April 2 |
| Category:Civil rights era African-American history | rename | April 29 |
| Category:Civil Rights Museums | Renamed to Category:African-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68) museums. ☺ · | April 27 |
| Category:Clean comedians | delete | April 21 |
| Category:Clement Meadmore | delete | April 5 |
| Category:Climate change modelling | rename. – | April 20 |
| Category:Coimbra Group | delete | April 10 |
| Category:Coleorrhyncha stubs | upmerge to Category:Hemiptera stubs and delete template:Coleorrhyncha-stub. All are already within the other parent Category:Coleorrhyncha. – | April 24 |
| Category:Commonwealth Universities | delete | April 24 |
| Category:Companies listed on the American Stock Exchange | rename | April 18 |
| Category:Compositions by Rahul Dev Burman | rename | April 24 |
| Category:Comprehensive schools in Greater Manchester | withdrawn by nominator. After looking at the link provided, it does appear one particular editor was emptying these categories out of process. In light of that, further proceedings under CfD are inappropriate at this time. As there are no valid delete comments present, I will just withdraw this. Non-admin closure | April 15 |
| Category:Computer magazine disambiguations | delete | April 1 |
| Category:Cristhian Andrews | delete. See also the related discussion | April 25 |
| Category:Cultural history journals | upmerge | April 20 |
| Category:Czechoslovak people of World War II | keep. – | April 24 |
| Category:Czechoslovak people of World War II | relisted at CFD 2014 April 24 | April 13 |
| Category:Daher al-Omar fortifications | listify and delete | April 29 |
| Category:Death-636 | speedy merge as obvious duplication/misnaming per WP:NOTBURO | April 27 |
| Category:DEC Operating Systems | rename | April 12 |
| Category:Definitive Jux live albums | keep as part of Category:Live albums by record label. – | April 21 |
| Category:Disambiguation lists of Hawaii-related topics | speedy delete | April 25 |
| Category:Drafthouse Films films | delete | April 15 |
| Category:Drosera by synonymy | keep, but the situation still seems unsettled or fully resolved, so I'm going to make this without prejudice to another nomination to discuss these. Really, the discussion has been open so long it just needs to be closed | April 27 |
| Category:Elements of fiction | keep, and add explanations to both category pages along the lines stated by Jc37. – | April 10 |
| Category:English District Council elections | rename to Category:English district council elections – | April 26 |
| Category:English mythology | Individually recategorize and then delete. With one exception, contributors agree that the category is not helpful, but there's no clear consensus about how to recategorize the articles. I suggest that knowledgeable editors manually recategorize articles as may be individually appropriate, perhaps after further discussion at the project level, and then ask for speedy deletion once the category is empty. | April 27 |
| Category:Episode lists without episode numbers | delete. I note that both template talk pages were given notice of this discussion on 24 April, but this has not drawn any defenders here. – | April 24 |
| Category:Eponymous fracture classifications | delete. Lists may be appropriate instead. – | April 11 |
| Category:Escape Velocity | rename | April 20 |
| Category:Estates of Banbury | merge to Category:Banbury. All five articles already appear in Category:Housing estates in Oxfordshire. -- | April 10 |
| Category:Falklands War locations | delete | April 27 |
| Category:Female lawyers | rename, also noting that the other subcategories use "FOOian women lawyers | April 8 |
| Category:Festung Jersey | rename per C2C | April 25 |
| Category:Fictional captains | Keep as a parent category and diffuse. There isn't a Category:Captains precisely there is no singular meaning. However, the fictional world has meanings that don't have real-world counterpart. It's not a container category because for example, Captain Easy would not fit under any of those categories except military by a giant stretch but not including that creates a distinction about Captains with no rationale | April 10 |
| Category:Fictional characters by superhuman feature or ability | rename four: | April 21 |
| Category:Fictional characters introduced in 1599 | keep per WP:SMALLCAT as part a series | April 20 |
| Category:Fictional deities | keep. Feel free to prune or split as suggested. – | April 24 |
| Category:Fictional demons | rename. (As a note from someone familiar with the terms from D&D, "demons" tend to be chaotic, while "devils" support law and order...and don't EVER call a devil a demon, they don't like it!) | April 30 |
| Category:Fictional hillbillies | do not rename | April 22 |
| Category:Figure skating competition by year | merge | April 18 |
| Category:Figure skating competitions by year | rename; given the elimination of the competition-by-year categories in the discussion immediately below, they cannot be kept in the nominated category. | April 18 |
| Category:Film shooting locations | do as proposed | April 28 |
| Category:Films shot digitally | Delete | April 6 |
| Films shot in... | delete | April 17 |
| Category:Films shot with digital SLR cameras | delete | April 18 |
| Category:Football at the 2011 Military World Games | deleted by | April 1 |
| Category:Formations with X dinosaur genera | delete | April 5 |
| Category:Former Telugu Desam Party politicians | upmerge all | April 20 |
| Category:Fortifications of Switzerland in the 20th century | rename to Category:Fortifications of Switzerland built in the 20th century. – | April 29 |
| Category:Four-yearly events | rename per C2C | April 26 |
| Frazioni of Italy | renamed | April 2 |
| Category:Free | rename to Category:Free goods and services, without prejudice to a future nomination for deletion | April 28 |
| Category:Fulbright Scholars | Keep | April 1 |
| Category:Geography of Ottoman Syria | delete. No need to worry about the other parent Category:Geography of the Ottoman Empire as Category:Ottoman Syria is within that anyway. – | April 6 |
| Category:Geography of Queens County, New York | keep. – | April 24 |
| Category:Georgian alphabet | speedy rename following RM. – | April 10 |
| Category:German Catholics opposed to the Third Reich | rename; no consensus to eliminate the religions by upmerging | April 6 |
| Category:Giles Cooper Award winners | delete | April 24 |
| Category:Glass forming | rename | April 18 |
| Category:Governors-General of Australia | Keep | April 4 |
| Category:Granular materials | restrict and rename as Category:Granularity of materials. – | April 17 |
| Greater Manchester Metropolitan Boroughs | rename to "X Borough", e.g. Category:Oldham Borough. The arguments made that the current format is ambiguous had stronger reasoning behind it and also a clear numerical majority of participants. There was also a clear consensus that borough is much more common term than district in this context and the question then came down to "(borough)" or "Borough". I found the arguments for "Borough" to be stronger: they were the only ones backed up in sources, the disambiguation guideline is clear we prefer natural disambiguation where possible and the claim that it could be ambiguous with the old "County Borough" does not seem to hold water – if that was a real problem surely using "(borough)" would also be ambiguous. The only exception is that, per Number57's comment which no one disagreed with, the two council elections cat should be renamed to use the "X Metropolitan Borough Council elections" format, e.g. Category:Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council elections. A closure of this discussion was neutrally requested at WP:AN and, seeing as I'm not a CfD regular, I will request that they or another admin proficient with CfD closures process the result of my closure | April 30 |
| Halifax Regional Municipality | rename | April 27 |
| Category:Haunted attractions | rename. The discussion at Talk:Haunted attraction (simulated) has petered out, which I take as acceptance of the new name. – | April 3 |
| Category:Hip bone | rename | April 12 |
| Category:Historic bars of New York City | merge; if needed, users can move contents to Category:Drinking establishments on the National Register of Historic Places in New York City and/or any other appropriate subcategory. | April 8 |
| Category:History of the San Joaquin Valley Area | rename | April 5 |
| History of the Utah Territory | Rename all. Although I was pinged from the last comment, I did not review this but even then consensus is strongly in support of the renaming. A cursory review of Category:Former organized territories of the United States shows that (other than Oregon territory) the 'the' has been removed in large part | April 26 |
| Category:Holy Land during Byzantine rule | keep | April 1 |
| Hong Kong people stubs | create Category:Hong Kong artist stubs and Category:Hong Kong musician stubs, upmerge as proposed. Category:Music biography stubs is only populated with European country-categories at present, so I decided not to create a new one. (Although I participated below, we have a CFD backlog at the moment, and there is no dispute here.) – | April 17 |
| Category:HTC Corporation mobile phones | rename. – | April 20 |
| Category:Hudson Yards | rename | April 24 |
| Category:Human rights movement in the USSR | merge | April 29 |
| Category:Hydrogen rocket engines | relisted at CFD 2014 April 24 | April 8 |
| Category:Hydrogen rocket engines | rename: | April 24 |
| Category:Indian social workers | keep. – | April 29 |
| Category:Industrial estates in Singapore | no consensus. -- | April 10 |

| Category:Insurgencies currently ongoing | rename per C2C | April 18 |
| Category:International Rubber Science Hall of Fame | listify | April 29 |
| Category:Internet manipulation and propaganda | no consensus. – | April 3 |
| Category:Interstate Highways in Georgia (U.S. state) | do not rename | April 28 |
| Category:Invasions | keep | April 24 |
| Category:Irish noble women | selective diffuse and delete, to Category:Irish princesses, others if justified with precedents, and Category:Irish nobility. Some should be de categorised, see comment by Peterkingiron. – | April 25 |
| Category:Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission | rename to Category:Prince Edward Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, per C2D, WP:NOTBURO, and fait accompli. The nominator is given a {{trout}} for moving a category out of process | April 25 |
| Category:Israeli–Palestinian peace efforts | speedy rename WP:C2D after RM. – | April 12 |
| Category:Italian statesmen | merge | April 27 |
| Category:Jamaican people of Syrian-Jewish descent | delete | April 23 |
| Category:Japanese-language television programming | no consensus. It may be more fruitful to pursue a larger discussion about such categories in mostly monolingual countries | April 20 |
| Category:Jewish villages in the Ottoman Empire | no consensus | April 21 |
| Category:Juice=Juice | delete | April 11 |
| Category:Kazakhstani nuclear test sites | rename to Category:Nuclear test sites in Kazakhstan | April 15 |
| Category:Kosovska Mitrovica | rename. -- | April 10 |
| Category:Lance Spearman | delete | April 28 |
| Category:Legislative Assembly elections in India | merge as a clear duplicate and per C2E | April 28 |
| Category:Lehigh Valley Hospitals | rename per C2C | April 24 |

| Category:London Symphony Orchestra film scores | rename | April 24 |
| Category:Malaysian karateka | keep | April 20 |
| Category:Malaysian Muay Thai practitioners | keep | April 20 |
| Category:Malaysian practitioners of Brazilian jiu-jitsu | keep. – | April 20 |
| Category:Male mayors | upmerge/delete | April 14 |
| Category:Mammals by common name | merge | April 25 |
| Category:Mammals of Metropolitan France | merge. – | April 18 |
| Category:Mammals of Monaco | merge all | April 9 |
| Category:Manchester saints | upmerge | April 30 |
| Category:Marconi University of Rome | rename to Category:Marconi University | April 1 |
| Category:Mass/spree shootings in the United States | no consensus. Editors were unable agree whether to retain the FBI's distinction between spree and mass shootings. No attempt was made the justify the proposed merger of the categories for the United States alone, when there are many other categories by country under Category:Mass shootings and Category:Spree shootings | April 15 |
| Category:Massacres in former countries | merge. Creator and only other contributor has agreed; WP:NOTBURO | April 14 |
| Category:Mayors of Kingwood, West Virginia | merge | April 15 |
| Category:Mayors of Parsons, West Virginia | upmerge technically, but really just delete, as the only member was already in both relevant categories | April 22 |
| Category:Media by language of India | speedy rename C2C. – | April 27 |
| Category:Microbreweries | Merge "to Category:Beer brewing companies in the United States by state with the articles being placed into the correct by state category" per | April 2 |
| Category:Middlesbrough F.C. chairmen and executives | No consensus. Going up even further, Category:Association football chairmen and investors is largely chairman and investors but the above that, at Category:Association football executives it's titled executives (but Ireland and Australia use officials). Above that, at Category:Sports executives and administrators you get almost all executives and administrators (with officials being the referees, not officials as businesspeople). I suggest an RfC at the Football wikiproject on the international level and then down to the English clubs (maybe notice Sports and Business). Going from the bottom up will always be inconsistent | April 12 |
| Category:Morton A. Brody Distinguished Judicial Service Award recipients | delete. – | April 28 |
| Category:Moths of Metropolitan France | merge | April 18 |
| Category:Moveable holidays (nth weekday of the month) | no consensus. – | April 12 |
| Category:Multi-sport competitions infobox templates | speedy rename C2C. – | April 30 |
| Category:Multi-sport competitions navigational boxes | speedy rename C2C. – | April 30 |
| Category:Nair's in Indian Police Service | delete | April 1 |
| Category:National military association football teams | deleted by | April 1 |
| Category:Nationalism in Ireland | rename without prejudice to re-creating the old category if it is needed as a parent. – | April 17 |
| Category:Nations at major sports competitions | rename per C2C | April 27 |
| Category:Nations at the Athletics Championships | rename | April 27 |
| Category:New-Nollywood films | merge (which, practically speaking, means a straight delete since all articles are already in the target category or an appropriate subcategory) | April 24 |
| Category:New-Nollywood films | relisted at CFD 2014 April 24 | April 2 |
| Category:Niccolò Cusano University of Rome | rename to Category:Università degli Studi Niccolò Cusano | April 1 |
| Category:Non-native fauna of the British Isles | merge | April 8 |
| Category:Onomatopoeias | delete; listify first | April 14 |
| Category:Organizations designated as hate groups by the SPLC | Delete. Clearly a hotly-contested debate, but both the numbers (around two-thirds) and strength of arguments seem to be weighted in favour of deleting the category. The comments of Victor Chmara are probably the best argument put forward - "According to WP:Categorization, a category should represent an essential and defining characteristic of the topic so categorized. I don't see how the opinions of this particular organization could be such essential knowledge." | April 12 |
| Category:Organizations that oppose LGBT hate-crime legislation | delete. – | April 23 |
| Category:Organized crime people | keep Category:Organized crime people. Creating a new parent for the organized-crime category can be done if desired. There is no consensus regarding Category:Astronomy people, and I will be renominating it independently | April 10 |
| Category:Ornithological terminology | Upmerge to Category:Birds. – | April 30 |
| Category:Orthopedic problems | no consensus. (Non-administrator closure.) | April 12 |
| Category:Orthopedic surgery | rename | April 11 |
| Category:Pan American Games Opening ceremony stadiums | speedy rename C2A. – | April 27 |
| Category:People executed by Albert Pierrepoint | delete | April 22 |
| Category:People from Albright, West Virginia | merge | April 15 |
| Category:People from Candia, New Hampshire | merge | April 9 |
| Category:People from Gifford, Illinois | Merge | April 4 |
| Category:People from Newburg, West Virginia | rename | April 13 |
| Category:People from Otiria | upmerge | April 26 |
| Category:People from Terra Alta, West Virginia | merge | April 14 |
| Category:People from Tunnelton, West Virginia | merge | April 14 |
| Category:People who died in Nazi concentration camps | keep | April 16 |
| Category:People who had their work censored | delete | April 15 |
| Category:People with computer applications degrees | delete | April 27 |
| Category:Persecution of gay and lesbian people | rename | April 23 |
| Category:Personality of Adolf Hitler | merge | April 22 |
| Category:PGA Tour Latinoamérica Players | delete as WP:OCAT. – | April 25 |
| Category:Philatelic journals | No consensus Opinion broadly supports a rename, but is divided on the target. There seems come confusion over the distinction, if any, between "periodical", "magazine" and "journal", and no clear reasoning, except perhaps by example to support one name over another. All the best: | April 22 |
| Category:Piano rock songs | delete | April 24 |
| Category:Piano rock songs | relisted at CFD 2014 April 24 | April 8 |
| Category:Placental mammals by name | delete | April 11 |
| Category:Polish victims of Stalinist repression | delete | April 8 |
| Category:Polyamorous people | delete; there seems to be general agreement that the creation of Category:Polyamory advocates would be OK | April 17 |
| Category:Pop culture words of Bantu origin | delete | April 8 |
| Category:Populated Atlantic coastal places in Florida | rename. The proposed names appear to conform with the pre-existing standard. The standard could be changed, but this is not a proposal to change it | April 16 |
| Category:Power stations by condition | rename | April 2 |
| Category:Prehistoric fantasy films | rename/merge | April 21 |
| Category:Presidents of the Brazilian Senate | split. Pinging the nom |
April 9 |
| Category:Prime Ministers of Russia | rename, while keeping appropriate redirects | April 6 |
| Category:Prime Ministers of Russian Empire | rename | April 23 |
| Category:Prime Ministers of Russian Provisional Government | rename | April 23 |
| Category:Prime Ministers of the Russian Federation | rename | April 23 |
| Category:Prime Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic | rename | April 23 |
| Category:Princes and princesses of Piombino | Split into Category:Princes of Piombino and Category:Princesses of Piombino. The combined category is the only one at Category:Italian princesses and Category:Italian princes. You can also see Lord of Piedmont to the Lords, the Princes and the Princesses are all separated (but has a template only for Princes and uses Counts instead of Lords). It seems like the whole thing is inconsistent on many things but the children are split. In contrast, the categories for Category:Heirs_to_the_throne for whatever reason is not split by gender (and it is different). The larger debate belongs on the policy pages and if done, there will be mass renaming work to do. While not relevant to this closing, Lords of Piombino should fall under Category:People from Piombino as its own independent category, not under the Princes and Princesses split | April 10 |
| Category:Pseudoegyptology | delete and upmerge where appropriate to Category:Pseudoarchaeology or Category:Egyptology or both. There is clear consensus that the category as named is not valid, though were the name to become an established term of art in future, there would be no purely nominal bar to re-creation. Some of the included items are in one or both of these categories already, and the category is small, so the process should not be too onerous. All the best: | April 22 |
| Category:Public transport disambiguation | rename to Category:Transport route disambiguation pages. – | April 6 |
| Category:Rangers F.C. captains | upmerge all 3 to players categories. – | April 23 |
| Category:Recipients of the Navy Cross | rename. – | April 21 |
| Category:Recreational mathematics experts | rename | April 1 |
| Category:Recurring events missing year of establishment | speedy merge per C2C. | April 2 |
| Category:Redditch District Council elections | rename. – | April 26 |
| Category:Republicanism in Ireland | rename | April 17 |
| Category:Reservoirs and dams in Australia | split/delete/rename per revised nomination. – | April 9 |
| Category:Rivers of the Boundary Ranges | CFD closed administratively under IAR due to user behavior incident, closing as a No Consensus. I recommend leaving the CFD topics alone for one month prior to refiling, if it is still felt that removal or renames are necessary. This will allow for a cooling down of the behavioral problem. | April 17 |
| Category:Romanian communist foods | delete | April 27 |
| Category:Royal Swedish Navy | rename. I note that there are a number of subcategories that use "Royal Swedish Navy" which may need to be renamed as a result of this change | April 18 |
| Category:Scholars of Greek philosophy | merge | April 2 |
| Category:Service industriesin Vatican City | speedily deleted by Obiwankenobi (talk · contribs). -- | April 27 |
| Several multiplane categories | keep Quadruplanes, merge the rest. – | April 3 |
| Category:Sex discrimination | merge | April 15 |
| Category:Shogi players | rename | April 28 |
| Category:Society by country | rename | April 14 |
| Category:Software using the CDDL license | keep all. – | April 29 |
| Category:Songs about loneliness | withdrawn by nominator pending centralised discussion | April 26 |
| Category:Songs about rain | delete as I feel compelled to recognise the majority below as a consensus, but I have listified the current contents at List of songs about rain to facilitate re-creation if a centralized discussion points that way. I looked but could not find such a discussion via WT:SONG or the talk pages of the editors below. Bearcat indicates specific problems with at least some of the contents of this particular category. – | April 25 |
| Soundtracks by composer | rename | April 24 |
| Category:Soundtracks by Indian artists | rename | April 24 |
| Category:South American racing series templates | delete | April 22 |

| Category:Works set in former countries | merge all, the first to Category:Works by country of setting. The rationale is not strong, as articles are categorised according to country of setting, and this is defining for them; the nominated cats are containers only for those country categories, split according to current or former. However, there is a strong enough consensus here to move those country categories up out of Former countries. Only certain things are worth setting apart in Category:Former countries, e.g. Society by country is not; and there is a clear consensus here against keeping works by setting down at that level. – | April 26 |
