Upmerge. If only it was that simple. There are valid objections raised about some simple upmerges as proposed. So that close it what is left after all of the exceptions are processed. Category:Lists of fauna of the United States by state should be the target for lists which are in some cases the only content or overview articles of fauna in a state. Category:Endemic fauna of the United States is the target for the endemic fauna material by state. Following that Category:Fauna of the United States by region should be the target as appropriate. This will be slow to implement and will take a while. Help is welcome |

| Category:Non-governmental execution type killing |
delete. The nominator both created the category and then mid-discussion emptied it and moved everything to Category:Killing of captives by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. This made the discussion quite difficult to understand as it was ongoing and difficult for me as a closer to trace everything that happened. It would be much better if once a category is nominated for deletion, the discussion be allowed to proceed without emptying it or renaming it or recategorizing all of the content within it. |

| Category:Operas by Mikhail Matyushin |
no consensus. (Just a note on the exception in WP:SMALLCAT. At least as it applies to albums, the guideline has not been interpreted as "presuming the possibility of at least a few members". It has been interpreted as allowing for the creation of an albums category even if an artist is dead and only produced one album. I suppose the debate here is whether that same interpretation should apply to opera categories, and there was no consensus on that point.) |
