rename to Category:Infobox comic book title param (addpubcat). For the record, the following templates needed updating: {{Infobox comic book title}}, {{Infobox comics character}}, {{Infobox comics character and title}} (coded in two places), and {{Comics infobox sec/addcat}} which is used by various other comics infoboxes. – |

| Ancient births |
kept. It initially seemed like the oppositions of Peterkingiron and Sionk were in part due to a misunderstanding but while everyone here supports centuries categorization, Peterkingiron, Sionk and John Pack Lambert all do indicate support for keeping a separate birth category, even if duplicative. No opinion on pruning as that's not an issue for CFD (splitting could be done as a separate discussion but it wasn't done here) |
April 17
|
| Ancient establishment in Italy |
upmerge to Category:1st-century BC establishments in the Roman Republic, Category:1st-millennium BC establishments in Italy, Category:1st century BC in Italy and Category:43 BC establishments (which is perhaps the other one intended in the last list below). – |

|
| Category:City council elections in the United Kingdom |
no consensus. Peterkingiron suggests "split and merge back per nom" but the contents appear to have been added to this category, not moved from existing categories. It does form part of the worldwide category Category:City council elections and the UK hierarchy Category:City councils in the United Kingdom, which should be discussed if this is re-nominated. – |

Merge Category:Films with nudity to Category:Nudity in film. It is not clear if there is a consensus to delete since there were two discussions here. It is clear that there is no need to have 2 categories. Once the merge is completed, feel free to start a deletion discussion if it is needed. Do consider a cleanup as suggested below as a first step |

| More burials by city |
Delete the Ghent, Bauchi, Ibadan, Ilorin and Onitsha categories. It seems as though burials in Nigeria has been emptied out of process (and the notice removed) and so no consensus there and should be discussed again before deleting. Rename as to Ysselsteyn It was changed here after the main discussion occurred and Sillyfolkboy did support it |
April 12
|
| More years of architecture part 3 |
multiple merge. There is a consensus to merge to something. Merge (i) to Category:Years in architecture, because the contents of the nominated categories are each a single year-in-architecture article, and these clearly must stay within that category somehow. (ii) to century architecture categories. This will leave the decade categories e.g. Category:1700s architecture empty apart from religious building categories e.g. Category:Religious buildings completed in the 1700s. I considered merging these year articles into the decade architecture categories, but as there was no opposition expressed below to Vegaswikian's separating the year categories for buildings and architecture, it seems that the decade categories can go as well in due course. (iii) to the other parents, the Works categories by year e.g. Category:1700 works; even though no-one has mentioned them below, it seems to me that the pages belong in Works by year, so I propose to merge to those also. – |
