November 7
|
| Category:Celtic Christianity in Scotland |
merge to Category:Christianity in medieval Scotland, excluding sub-cat Iona which does not all belong there. The discussion below is confusing, not least because some support "renaming" to Category:Christianity in medieval Scotland, but that has existed since 2006. I believe that my close meets most of the objectives & objections below. – |

| Category:Climate change skeptics |
administrative close: as noted, Category:Climate change deniers is already nominated and under discussion here. Category:Climate change skeptics, the category purportedly nominated here, is current a category redirect, and contains no articles, so there might be some confusion here. Deletion of Category:Climate change deniers can be advocated for at the ongoing discussion; after it closes, depending on the outcome, a new nomination for deletion could be started. |

| Category:Heritage templates |
keep with no objection to creating new child categories |
November 9
|
| Category:Hillary Clinton controversies |
no consensus. The broader complaints here carry little weight as an article titled "... controversy" is objectively categorised under "controversies" – not that this is a necessary requirement for categorising there. Disputes over categorising particular pages normally belong on each article's talk page. – |

|
| Category:Malaysian Chinese Muslims |
upmerge to Category:Malaysian Muslims and Category:Malaysian people of Chinese descent. No list target was suggested and I did not find a suitable one: a list seemed out of place in Malaysian Chinese#Religion, and List of Malaysian Chinese is organised by profession, not religion. However, if anyone wishes to listify the contents of the category, see this list |
November 7
|
| Male homosexuals by century of death |
rename, although I will be minded to propose the C16 category later for merging if it remains with only one member. – |
November 7
|
| Category:Mandarin-language Malaysian films |
delete/merge. The merge vs. delete issue is largely academic for this category, since the only content is Love Conquers All (film) and the categorization on that article can easily be changed as users see fit. For now, I'm upmerging it to the the parent categories, since that is the standard thing to do in these situations. |

support for upmerging the four categories, no consensus on deleting the Roman Catholics by period category |
November 9
|
| Merchants |
upmerge C16/17 categories. The nomination gives inconsistent pairs of merge targets for double upmerging, so I will instead do a triple upmerge where needed: |
