Impossible - the most we could do towards this would be to add a {{lowercase}} to the category pge; however, pages categorized there would still have the current version of the name. Of course, this doesn't prevent similar nominations where "Al-Queda" isn't at the beginning |

|
| Category:People of Levantine-Greek Orthodox Christian descent |
no consensus on deleting or merging. Although there were several opinions for "oppose"/"keep", I am not closing this as a "keep" outcome because there may have been selective canvassing. The opposers claimed that this identity is defining in America, and although they did not present decisive evidence on this point it appears that a case could be made. Few people commented on upmerging the others, and this close is no bar to an early re-nomination of those smaller categories for merger. – |

December 12
|
| Category:Petra (band) tribute albums |
delete. Like the Oct 26 CFD linked in this discussion, this is a 2:1 vote for deletion, with a reasonably good and strongly held case against deletion. However, I have closed this in conjunction with Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 6#Category:Twisted Sister tribute albums where the same "keep" arguments were more clearly rejected. Even so, these do not provide a very strong precedent. Before any further such nominations, someone may wish to start a central discussion, probably at WT:WikiProject Albums, about the value of these one-member tribute album categories. (In case a future discussion reverses this outcome, the member page to be moved up is Never Say Dinosaur.) – |

redirected to Category:Surnames of Nepalese origin. Even if there is a substantive reason for that not to be the redirect target, categories are never allowed to tag their contents as "popular" vs "unpopular" (an WP:NPOV violation) — and none of the renaming proposals conforms to Wikipedia's structural conventions for surname categories, so the only options on the table were to either redirect it to the existing category or to delete |
