|
| Category:1900 establishments in Hawaii Territory |
no consensus here on which should exist, so we default to the older of the two, which is Category:1900 establishments in Hawaii (January 2015 creation for the target category vs. July 2015 creation for the nominated category). This is without prejudice to a nomination for renaming, but luckily here confusion is unlikely in either case |

| Category:ASCAP Award winners |
delete. This is not worth holding up for listification, since the category only contains five articles: Ricardo Arjona, Pipedreams, Ivy Queen, Romeo Santos, and Selena. That's the only "list" that is produceable from the category. Obviously there are more ASCAP award winners than these five, so any list made from category contents would hardly be worthwhile. Of course, at any time anyone can begin writing a decent list. |

| Category:Christian Science church buildings by century |
no consensus for rename that was proposed; there is some support here for deletion/upmerging, which could be proposed clearly in a new nomination. (An upmerge of Category:20th-century Christian Science church buildings, however, would result in 29 unsubcategorized articles being merged into Category:20th-century churches, which would probably result in a desire to subcategorize the Christian Science ones!) |

|
| Category:Clement SOJ |
Delete. This was never going to result in any outcome but "delete", both because there is no use for the category, as it refers only to a non-notable subject, whose article has repeatedly been deleted, and because it is being used not as a category but as a fake article. However, I am deleting it now, rather than waiting, because it was also created by an account which was clearly created for the purpose of evading a block. The editor who uses the pseudonym " |

| Establishments in the Empire of Brazil categories |
No consensus. After a long period of feedback, it's clear there is no current, clear consensus in favour of resolving this in any direction. On this issue, we are apparently so internally divided that one editor whose comment was deemed insightful subsequently changed his mind and opposed his earlier suggestion. Perhaps our category system is ill-equipped to deal with this kind of question |

... and the confusion as to what to do continues here, with me not knowing exactly how to close this discussion but knowing that it needs to be closed. There is a pretty clear consensus that the category is problematic and should be deleted. The stumbling block is what to do with the contents, and there is no consensus. So just as a temporary, on-the-fly solution, I'm going to merge the subcategories Category:Popular psychology magazines and Category:Popular science magazines to Category:Magazines by interest and the appropriate subcategories of Category:Popular scholarship (Category:Popular scholarship has also been called into question by this nomination). The individual articles will be merged to an appropriate subcategory of Category:Magazines by interest or Category:Magazines by discipline, as appropriate. |
