Category:Article Creation and Improvement Drive candidates delete February 9
Category:Avenues upmerge/delete all except Category:Avenues and Category:Avenues in Paris. There's consensus to keep and rename Category:Avenues in Paris to Category:Avenues (landscape) in Paris. There's no consensus to delete Category:Avenues, mostly because most editors supporting deletion didn't specify what to do if Paris was kept. No prejudice against speedy renomination to address what should be done with Category:Avenues. There was no opposition to the rename of Category:Avenues to Category:Avenues (landscape), so rename as well. (non-admin closure) ~ February 1
Category:Baroque draughtsmen no consensus February 20
Basketball teams in Kosovo upmerge articles only, then delete February 18
Category:Battles involving Arab Egypt delete; merge contents to Category:Battles involving Egypt and Category:Wars involving Egypt. If users want to create different subcategories of the Egypt categories, that is allowed February 20

Colonial Brazil rename/merge. – February 4
Colonial period in Yemen merge for now. – February 6
Category:Communist Party of Poland (Mijal) politicians delete February 10
Category:Concept automobiles rename using "concept cars". It is undoubtedly the case that "concept car" is the WP:COMMONNAME of this broad category (see Ngram and search trends, for instance). A case was made that "concept car" is not correct when applied to trucks, vans, etc. In terms of policy, this is essentially a claim that "concept car" is, in fact, not the common name when applied to trucks, vans, etc. No data was provided to back this up, and it appears that even the examples of not-a-car concept vehicles provided in this discussion use "car" as the common name. For instance, compare this to this. (non-admin closure) ~ February 18
Category:Conservatists in Hong Kong rename to Category:Hong Kong pro-Beijing politicians. – February 21
Contract bridge Rename all February 11
Category:Courtesy Earldoms in the Peerage of England delete; merge contents to parent Category:Earldoms in the Peerage of England. (If the merge target is incorrect, could someone with actual knowledge please correct it? It was not 100% clear where it should be merged to, so I assumed it would be to the sole parent category.) February 7

Category:Crimes related to the European migrant crisis delete February 8

Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast merge/rename as specified February 28

Category:Deprecated use of tdeprecated delete. @Debresser: please tweak away February 28
Category:Deputy directors of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China rename/merge per amended nomination. Note, however, that the parent is Category:Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, so we have created a naming inconsistency here February 10
Category:Disabled artists rename February 11
Category:Dissolution of the European Union rename. There is no consensus for deletion, but the general sense seems to be that if the category exists, the proposed name is far better. February 13

Earthquakes in Malta keep. – February 13
Category:Earthquakes in Slovenia keep. — February 13

Film directors by continent relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 April 18#Film directors by continent. – February 14
Category:Films produced by Jeta Amata delete. In both cases, categories remain for films directed by these individuals. However, this deletion makes the parent "Works by" categories unnecessary and pointless for navigation, so I will speedily delete these under WP:G6. – February 24
Category:Fireworks festivals by country relisting on CFD log for May 21 as discussion is outdated and has no prospect of continuing any further in this venue February 1
Category:Fiscally conservative parties in the United States Upmerge February 2
Food and drink/beverage rename/merge using "food and drink", e.g. Category:Food and drink companies by year of establishment; no consensus on merging Category:Food and drink festivals by type. (I inserted hyphens into Category:Food- and drink-related lists per MOS:HYPHEN, similar to the nomination for organizations.) – February 1
Category:Food markets keep February 16

Category:Kidz Bop rename February 7
Kosovar or Kosovan people option A, i.e. use "Kosovan". – February 12
Kurdish secession no consensus to merge everything to a single Category:Kurdish separatism, but there does seem to be consensus to change "secession" to "separatism" in Category:Kurdish secession in Iran and Category:Kurdish secession in Turkey, so those will be renamed. A follow-up nomination might be necessary for the parent and grandparent categories. February 5
Category:Late Antiquity and Medieval sites in Kosovo  Relisted at 2016 APR 8 CFD February 20

If any of those are emptied by the other deletions, and the categories remain empty, they can (and will) simply be speedily deleted February 7
Media by country Rename according to Option B February 10
Category:Media in San Fernando, Tamaulipas delete. No consensus to convert these into Category:San Fernando, Tamaulipas and Category:Ciudad Camargo, but this does not prohibit future creation of those categories February 8

Palestine rename all except Category:Abbasid governors of Palestine, Category:Peasants' revolt in Palestine, Category:People of the peasants' revolt in Palestine, Category:Palestine geography stubs‎, and Category:Palestine stubs‎. These five can essentially be considered "no consensus" results here, which will allow for renomination of them in dedicated discussions. February 22
Category:Palestinian Martyrs delete as empty. This is without prejudice to creation of a differently named category that serves the same purpose. If such a category is created, it could be nominated for discussion. February 18

Redundant "basketball clubs" category mess rename Category:Basketball clubs in Auckland (no consensus for deletion), keep Category:International club basketball competitions, and ‎merge all others as specified in the nomination. The emptied categories should either be redirected after merging (if useful, such as with Category:Basketball clubs) or deleted (if implausible alternative names for the merged category, such as with Category:Basketball clubs by country and city‎). (non-admin closure)~ February 27
Redundant "futsal teams" category mess merge/delete as specified February 27

The discussion is not clear whether the smaller categories were to be merged or renamed, but the new name gives scope for increasing the membership by adding case law. This close is therefore not a precedent against merging if the categories do not in fact expand. – February 24
Category:Religious violence in India rename to Category:Religiously motivated violence in India February 28
Category:Reminders of Skanderbeg delete. And further discussions regarding the Category:Monuments and memorials by person tree appear likely. February 19

Category:Socially conservative parties in the United States Upmerge February 2
Category:Songs associated with the American Revolution there was a consensus to delete and merge contents to Category:American Revolution and Category:American patriotic songs. However, I note that Category:Songs of the American Revolutionary War also exists, so for the time being I'm just going to move them there (which is where Yankee Doodle Dandy was all along) February 7
Category:Soviet state establishments relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 April 9 . – February 12
[[:Category:Sports clubs]] relisted here. (non-admin closure) ~ February 27
Sportspeople from Canadian small cities and small towns upmerge categories with under 10 members, manually checking that they are in a sportspeople by province category. In practice, it was easy in most cases to add more members from the parent category, so only Fort Saskatchewan needed merging. – February 19
Category:Spotlighted delete February 9
Category:Star Wars conflicts delete; the contents are already appropriately categorized in other subcategories of Category:Star Wars. February 16
Category:Stefy songs keep February 26
Category:Sunni Caliphates delete February 23
Category:Superhero origin films delete; no need to merge, as noted, because the contents are already appropriately within Category:Superhero films February 15
Category:Surgical clothing delete February 5
Category:Tavistock, Devon rename February 3
Category:TBS (U.S. TV channel) network shows rename. (If the "U.S." is dropped as a result of the RM discussion in progress, the category could be speedily renamed to comply.) February 27
Category:Television shows set in Buenos Aires keep. (non-admin closure) February 19
Category:Television stations in San Fernando delete; upmerge content February 8
Category:Television stations in Villagran delete; upmerge content February 8
Category:Terror attacks committed by paroled Islamic Terrorists delete February 8
Category:The Legend of Korra games merge February 2
Category:Theatres in the Palestinian National Authority rename to Category:Theatres in the State of Palestine. (Given the change in terminology which is developing internationally, it might be a good idea to rename a lot of the categories that use "Palestinian National Authority" or "Palestinian territories" to "State of Palestine".) February 16
Category:Thinkers delete February 23
Category:Towns in Andhra Pradesh by district merge February 12
Category:Transport disasters related to the European migrant crisis delete; I'll move the contents to appropriate categories, as discussed February 24
Category:Trudeau family rename to Category:Trudeau political family February 3
Category:Tunisian heavy metal musical groups delete/merge. In this case delete and merge is identical because the article is already in the merge target February 23
Category:Ukrainian American Veterans delete February 6
Category:Ukrainian writers by nationality delete February 3
Category:United States church-state separation case law Upmerge. As the comments below indicate, "church-state separation" is a real concept in U.S. law, so there is no problem with the name of the category being nominated. However, the comments also indicate that not everything in this category is case law precisely, that not everything here falls under the Establishment Clause‎, and that this category may be slicing things too fine to be helpful to navigation. It was pointed out that Category:Church and state law in the United States covers everything in the nominated category, and merging this category to that one seems like the only sensible resolution that deals with all of the problems people have pointed out February 23
Category:Urabi Revolt rename February 28
Category:Urban Book Circle delete February 5
Category:Urban road transit in India delete (as noted, there is no need to merge any of the contents) February 20
Category:User:Julien1978 delete February 22
Category:VICE Media rename February 29
Category:Vice-Chancellors rename. W.r.t. the question of whether any colleges have vice-chancellors: yes, many U.S. colleges have vice-chancellors. (A simple google search is evidence of that. It's always a good idea to do a google search before commenting just in case it easily answers your questions or refutes the points you were going to make.) If users want to propose merging these categories to a general university administrator category, that could be done in a new nomination: there was no consensus for it here, but it wasn't really the focus of the discussion. February 9
Category:Video games on Steam Delete February 3
Category:Video gaming operating systems delete February 10
Category:War crimes in Jordan delete February 24
Category:Warfare terminology merge February 21
Category:Wiki Loves Women Writing Contest delete the category link from the articles, but retain the page for now at this location as a list. I will transclude the list page under the "historical" template. – February 17

Category:İzmir Büyükşehire Belediyesi GSK administrative close. This is the same nomination as just below the next nomination February 7
