| Categories relating to proposed transport/rail transport in the United Kingdom |
merge/rename. We do not keep categories for "projects", see previous CFDs for Construction projects and Development projects. Those "projects" that are completed will be moved up to Category:Transport infrastructure in London etc (i.e. without "Proposed"). As for Category:Proposed railways in the United Kingdom, this will be renamed to Category:Proposed railway lines in the United Kingdom for consistency with its siblings by country, as the related CFD at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 July 10#Upmerge proposed rail infrastructure categories does not seem to be gaining consensus. See also the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_July_13#Category:Proposed_public_transport_in_Brazil which supported "rail infrastructure" categories. – |

make an attempt to split. Consensus seems to be that the category should be deleted, but there was no strong consensus on whether we needed to split this out or not. So I'm defaulting to splitting, since that retains the information in category form and retention is usually the default for "no consensus" results |

That would be my suggestion of where to go from here |

|
| Category:Historic department store buildings in the United States |
Keep. As is, this category fits within the current structure. The arguments for merger relate to the larger question regarding Category:Buildings and structures by former use versus Category:Historic buildings and structures in the United States. Rather than merge a single category and create inconsistency, an RfC on the larger question is appropriate. From there, the child categories can be merged/renamed/re-populated as needed |

keep existing categories; no consensus on split i.e. whether "Owners of land in Foo" would be WP:OCAT. I suggest as a way forward that some e.g. Category:Owners of land in Scotland and Category:Owners of land in Ireland be created and populated as test cases. Then, when we have something to look at, re-nominate the others for a discussion on splitting. – |

| Category:Military dictatorship |
rename to plural, and purge of biographies following decision on Category:Dictators at CfD 2006 May 22. There are only 4 pages on the general topic which are all sorted to the top, so I don't see why a separate head category (i.e. a split) is needed; and if re-created, people might again place biographies in it, which was considered against WP:NPOV. Nevertheless, there was no discussion on that point here, so this close is not a bar against re-creating it. – |

Procedural close - This is a meta template, which is the base template that all other stub templates are using.

This requires more attention, therefor referring to WP:RM without prejudice. -- [[ |
