Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2016 June index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:1934 establishments in the Tuvan People's Republic | keep Category:History of the Tuvan People's Republic and Category:History of Tuva, but delete the rest ... without prejudice to recreating them if there is a significant number of articles to populate them | June 10 |
| Category:2014 in Southern California | merge | June 18 |
| Category:2016 in Sacramento, California | rename | June 15 |
| Category:2016 in San Francisco, California | no consensus. Any further nomination should consider this alongside Category:2014 in San Francisco, California. It might want to consider merger to multiple parents rather than outright deletion, and to consider these categories in the context of Category:2000s in San Francisco, California and Category:2000s in San Francisco, California | June 10 |
| Category:2016 in San Jose, California | delete | June 10 |
| Category:2017 films | keep | June 8 |
| Category:Alaska Airlines | renamed. (non-admin closure) | June 18 |
| Category:American music history by year | rename per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:And These are the Facts | administrative close: category was speedily deleted and category creator was blocked | June 1 |
| Category:Arab nationalists | merge | June 19 |
| Category:Art music | merge | June 13 |
| Category:Artefacts | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Articles created or expanded during Geographical Indications in India Edit-a-thon 2016 | delete | June 6 |
| Category:Artistic Presentation | speedy delete WP:G7. – | June 8 |
| Category:Auxiliary net laying ship classes | delete; category has remained empty | June 6 |
| Awards automatically issued to the Monarch of Kedah | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Baseball players from Brisbane | no consensus. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:Birds of Angola | merge as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 13 |
| Category:Bissau-Guinean law | no consensus. It's not clear whether Bissau-Guinean or Guinea-Bissauan is correct. Sources use both. Consistency is probably desirable, but there's no consensus one way or the other at the moment. If this is renominated in the future, I recommend nominating all Bissau-Guinean categories together. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Bissau-Guinean society | no consensus. It's not clear whether Bissau-Guinean or Guinea-Bissauan is correct. Sources use both. Consistency is probably desirable, but there's no consensus one way or the other at the moment. If this is renominated in the future, I recommend nominating all Bissau-Guinean categories together. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Blue Ribbon Award (railway) winners | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Boston Board of Aldermen members | June 16 | |
| Category:Boston city councillors | rename | June 16 |
| Category:Bramfelder SV | delete | June 9 |
| Category:Brazilian people of Levantine-Greek Orthodox Christian descent | merge | June 6 |
| Category:Bridge-tunnels in the United States | merge, to all parent categories as discussed. In practical terms, no upmerging to Category:Bridges in the United States (or subcats thereof) and Category:Tunnels in the United States (or subcats thereof) was necessary, since all articles were already in subcategories of both. So the result essentially was "merge as nominated" | June 15 |
| Category:Business class airlines | withdrawn. I have created Category:Airline services and moved the three articles about airline products to this new category | June 21 |
| Category:Canadian Medical Hall of Fame | delete. WP:REFUND applies.(non-admin closure) | June 18 |
| Category:Canadian Mining Hall of Fame | delete | June 17 |
| Category:Carniolan people by period | merge | June 5 |
| Carolingian Empire | merge and delete per | June 11 |
| Category:Cartography journals | upmerge to both Category:Geography journals and Category:Cartography. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Charitable foundations based in the United States | merge | June 11 |
| Category:Charities operating in South Africa | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Children's charities based in England and Wales | delete. Both the proposed merge and the alternative split lead to the same result of straight deletion of this category, because Category:Children's charities based in England is the only content and this is already in Category:Children's charities based in the United Kingdom | June 11 |
| Category:Chowder | speedy rename. – | June 18 |
| Category:Christian apocalyptic novels | merge/delete | June 19 |
| Category:Christian worship | rename/merge | June 9 |
| Category:City council elections in Italy | withdrawn. – | June 20 |
| Category:Clare Boothe Luce Award winners | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 12 |
| Category:Co-operative Party (UK) MEPs | rename | June 12 |
| Category:Comedy horror films | rename as proposed. (non-admin closure) | June 20 |
| Category:CommonsHelper | delete | June 23 |
| Category:Companies established in 578 | merge/rename as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 13 |
| Category:Computer optimization | keep | June 3 |
| Category:Conformed users | has been speedily deleted already by | June 14 |
| Category:Conservative American magazines | rename | June 16 |
| Category:Converts to Sufism | double merge, manually checking for each article whether that is indeed appropriate | June 4 |
| Category:Cow welfare organizations | rename | June 21 |
| Category:Crawfordsville High School faculty | delete | June 3 |
| Category:Crux gemmata | keep. The arguments against are stronger. While set categories are generally plural, we also must use the WP:COMMONNAME where possible (which has no plural in English) and our guidelines also say we should use the names of main articles where possible. We often have exceptions to the usual singular/plural rules for categorization where there exist exceptions to singular/plural rules in the English language. This appears to be one of those cases. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Cultural depictions of Queen Anne | rename to Category:Cultural depictions of Anne of Great Britain. In a next step, when the two quoted articles are harmonized with each other we can also rename one of the two involved categories speedily | June 21 |
| Category:Cyprus peace process | withdrawn. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Dairy farming by country | keep | June 4 |
| Category:Dance music by subgenre | rename | June 19 |
| Category:Dark Tranquillity | no consensus. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:Defense companies of Pakistan | rename | June 12 |
| Category:Defunct restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland | merge to Category:Defunct restaurants in Maryland and Category:Restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland. Upmerging the state categories would require a fresh nomination, as they have not been tagged. – | June 12 |
| Category:Dictionaries of economics | merge per nominator, without prejudice to | June 11 |
| Category:Dictionaries of sociology | merge per nominator, without prejudice to | June 11 |
| Category:Divisions and sections of composed works | rename | June 23 |
| Category:Doukkala-Abda geography stubs | speedy delete as per WP:G8. Normally, I'd relist this, but the template has been retargeted so this meets G8. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:Dudley Moore | keep | June 23 |
| Durrani Empire | merge and delete per nominator. The alt merge proposal by |
June 11 |
| Category:Economics by century | rename | June 5 |
| Episcopalian categories | merge | June 17 |
| Category:Eros in ancient Greece | rename to Category:Sexuality in ancient Greece. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 9 |
| Category:Esperanza Returns | delete | June 19 |
| Category:European Union officials | no consensus for either direction of merge. A reverse merge wasn't discussed fully, and a separate nomination for that may be helpful, but this discussion appears to hint that there would be no consensus for that either. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 15 |
| Category:Faculty of Arts and Science, Markaz | merge | June 2 |
| Fictional Buddhist monks | keep | June 13 |
| Fictional characters by religion | delete all | June 13 |
| Film categories | merge all except horror, which has no consensus. On the merging side, arguments included that these would produce fairly small categories, make it harder to search for films from the same general time period, and are redundant to the "by year" and "by genre and decade" categories that already exist. On the keep side, arguments mostly centered around the fact that the resulting year categories would mostly meet typical WP:SMALLCAT standards and the potential decades categories would be large | June 8 |
| Category:Financial terminology | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 6 |
| Category:Fireworks festivals in Canada | relisted here. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Flora and fauna of Rajasthan | split. Given DexDor's comment that "it's not reasonable to request that the admin who closes the CFD do a split", I will leave it to | June 11 |
| Category:Food industry in India | merge and left a redirect | June 3 |
| Category:Foreign involvement in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict | upmerge to Category:Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There's consensus that this category shouldn't exist, but no consensus on whether or not it should be upmerged or deleted. Upmerging is the smaller deviation from the status quo, since it doesn't remove the articles/subcategories from this tree. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:Funimation voice actors | delete | June 18 |
| Category:Glimcher Realty Trust | Renamed. (non-admin closure) | June 10 |
| Category:Globalization issues | rename. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:Greek mythology understanding and criticism | Renamed to Category:Greek mythology studies. (non-admin closure) | June 22 |
| Griqualand East | merge and delete per nominator | June 12 |
| Category:Hemiptera of the United Kingdom | merge | June 21 |
| Category:Hey Look! It's That Mad Wrestling Thing Aff The Telly Tour | delete. WP:UND applies. (non-admin closure) | June 17 |
| Category:Historical works by country | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:History of the Roman Empire | no consensus. The arguments for center around the history of the Roman Empire making up its whole existence. The arguments against center around the existing categorization tree. While this wasn't discussed much, there may also be a distinction between "History of ..." (i.e. events in the empire) and other categories that relate to the topic of the Roman Empire (biographies, etc). If the intent is to do away with all former countries in the "History of ..." tree, then that probably needs to be a group nomination. I seriously doubt consensus would be found for that, though. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 7 |
| Category:Honorary United States Marines | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 24 |
| Category:Ideal Association for Minority Education | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Imperialism terminology | delete. I'll make sure that the contents are in Category:Imperialism or an appropriate subcategory of it | June 11 |
| Category:Incest in television | keep but purge | June 9 |
| Indian (Marathi/Malayalam) film score composers | rename/merge | June 16 |
| Category:Insects of Oman | upmerge as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Inspirational television series | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Inventions of the Third Reich | rename to Category:German inventions of the Nazi period | June 19 |
| Category:ISIL commanders who were officers during the reign of Saddam Hussein | upmerge to both Category:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant members from Iraq and Category:Iraqi Army officers. There's consensus to upmerge to the former category. The double upmerge to the latter category was proposed late in the process, but it received no opposition and that's unlikely to change if this were relisted. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 15 |
| Category:Jubilee 150 Walkway | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 19 |
| Category:Judaism terminology | no consensus on renaming. There were grammatical arguments for renaming and arguments questioning the validity of applying the adjective "Judaic" to terminology about Judaism. The alternative suggestion of "Terminology in Judaism" might gain support, but it wasn't sufficiently discussed here. Purge category of any biographies or other articles that aren't about a phrase defined by being a piece of terminology from Judaism. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 7 |
| Category:KF Turbina Cërrik | delete | June 21 |
| Category:Knighted couples | delete | June 5 |
| Category:LDPR (political party) politicians | speedily rename to Category:Liberal Democratic Party of Russia politicians | June 22 |
| Category:Linguistic units of information | upmerge. This is just a container category to hold two subcategories, and the WP:SMALLCAT arguments are strong based on how that guideline is typically applied. Upmerging still keeps the semantic units and narrative units split out from the larger category, so concerns that there are a meaningful difference between these two categories aren't very convincing; we don't lose anything by eliminating the container category, since the sub-categories will still exist. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 11 |
| Category:List of ships of the Royal Canadian Navy | rename | June 6 |
| Category:Lydia Canaan | rename | June 20 |
| Category:Malteser International | merge to all parents | June 11 |
| Category:Mammals of Iran | delete | June 10 |
| Category:Markaz Schools | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Mathematical institutes and societies | merge as proposed. (non-admin closure) | June 20 |
| Category:Members of the South Dakota Senate | speedy delete . – | June 3 |
| Category:Mental structures | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Merchant navy | split Category:Merchant navy to Category:Merchant navy and Category:Merchant navies by country. No admin tools required to implement this, so I am pinging the participants in the hope that one or more of them can implement the split: @Necrothesp, Mangoe, Marcocapelle, Fayenatic london, and BU Rob13: please, you can do this |
June 8 |
| Category:Military organizations by year of establishment | relisted here | June 22 |
| Category:Minority fraternities and sororities | rename to Category:Fraternities and sororities by type | June 12 |
| Category:Misconduct by Catholic clergy | merge to both Category:Catholicism-related controversies and Category:Misconduct by Christian clergy. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 15 |
| Category:Miss BC World winners | delete | June 15 |
| Category:Monumental crosses in Ireland | rename and merge according to nomination | June 10 |
| Category:Mormon socialists | delete | June 21 |
| Category:Music by place | Rename to Category:Music by location and Category:Arts by location. (non-admin closure) | June 10 |
| Category:NBA championship seasons | no consensus. Given that reliable sources and existing article names support the existing category name, this is highly unlikely to receive a consensus to rename at a subsequent relisting. No prejudice against a speedy renomination so long as all editors here are notified, but I don't think this needs relisting. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 1 |
| Category:Neferirkare Kakai | no consensus for deletion. There were solid arguments made for and against. The arguments against deletion were probably stronger, as they successfully explained why these categories should be the exception to categorizing by date. If reliable sources identify contemporaneous figures and events but can't date them, that's a strong justification for this category scheme. On the other hand, another editor proposed an alternative scheme (by dynasty) that is more in keeping with the typical "by date" categories. That suggestion didn't receive sufficient discussion to render any outcome. A more focused merge discussion may be helpful. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 7 |
| Category:Nimr al-Nimr | delete | June 6 |
| Category:Non-governmental organisations operating in Afghanistan | merge to Category:Organisations based in Afghanistan | June 4 |
| Category:Non-governmental organization stubs | relisted here. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Nonprofit organizations | rename, without prejudice to a broader nominating to rename all of the subcategories to the non-hyphenated version. Or, users could try to get the article changed back. | June 17 |
| Category:Objects formerly considered planets | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 6 |
| Category:Oceanic string quartets | upmerge to Category:String quartets | June 10 |
| Old Moroccan regions | delete. – | June 16 |
| Category:Online retail companies by country | rename. No consensus on purging, since it wasn't discussed much. It's probably appropriate, but any interested editor can undertake that. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Organizational constructs | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 24 |
| Organizations based in Thailand | rename. There is no strong national tie one way or the other, but the parent category is "organizations", so the arguments to rename are strong. We really do need a definitive guideline on which countries use which variant, but that's a much larger discussion. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Organizations by beneficiaries | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 15 |
| Category:Organizations of the Jack Abramoff scandals | delete, while merging some of the contents to Category:Jack Abramoff scandals, as discussed | June 13 |
| Category:Ortalis | rename as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:Paintings by national location | rename to Category:Paintings by country of location. This is an incremental improvement but probably not a final solution to this category tree. Everyone agrees the current name is unclear. There's disagreement over whether appropriate categorization is by country of creation or country of location, but the current scope is country of location. There's no clear consensus to rescope. This close is without prejudice against future focused nominations to discuss deletion or rescoping. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 9 |
| Category:Pan-Africanist political parties in Africa | keep Category:Pan-Africanist political parties in Africa; no consensus on Category:Pan-Africanist political parties in the Caribbean | June 1 |
| Category:Panasonic Gobel Award winners | delete | June 5 |
| Category:Patrol-derived films | rename. There's clearly no consensus to delete. There were valid concerns that later films were derivative rather than based on the original book, but the entire category tree of "based on" contains such derivative works. For instance, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (film) is in Category:Films based on Pride and Prejudice, but it's really based on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies whose connection to Pride and Prejudice is itself kind of murky. These concerns might hold merit, but that would involve a discussion on changing the scope of the entirety of the "based on" tree. In the meantime, derivative works are within the scope as per past practice, and the arguments for consistent naming are strong. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 7 |
| Category:People by ethnicity | keep. Consensus that CfD is not an appropriate venue for such a discussion. (non-admin closure) | June 21 |
| Category:People from Abdul Hakeem, Pakistan | merge | June 7 |
| Category:People from Korolyov | speedy rename | June 17 |
| Category:People who died on their birthday | speedily deleted by another user. If there are objections, I suggest users refer to deletion review | June 22 |
| Category:People with dual American and German citizenship | delete. The general consensus is that this category would set a precedent for a set of categories that would almost entirely fail WP:NARROWCAT and WP:CATDEF. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Perfluorinated compound contamination | delete | June 7 |
| Category:Pest insects biological control insects | rename to Category:Insects acting as insect pest control agents. No opposition to this rename, and it's pretty clear everyone at least considers this an improvement, if not ideal. There's no consensus for deletion. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:Philippine films based on Wattpad | delete | June 18 |
| Category:Photo sharing | not moved | June 11 |
| Category:Photographs of the United States | keep. (non-admin closure) | June 23 |
| Category:Piccadilly | no consensus. Arguments for deletion were mostly based on the fact that many of these articles represent either organizations based in Piccadilly but not defined by their headquarters location or buildings that belong in the subcategory. These were strong arguments and support purging the category if anyone cares to do so. When I took a cursory look through the articles, though, I found several which do not fit in the subcategory and go beyond just an organization's headquarters. I'm not going to list this at WP:CFD/W/M because it's unclear exactly how far purging should go, but at the very least, organizations who merely have their headquarters in this location can be removed by any interested editor. If the result is a WP:SMALLCAT issue, renomination is encouraged. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 6 |
| Category:Political pressure groups of the United Kingdom | rename. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:Political works | no consensus. There isn't clear consensus that either of these categories can easily be merged into the "Works about" tree. In any future discussions, participants should consider the entire category tree that would be placed under a "Works about" tree. Even if the articles in these categories should be merged, there were only hints of editors considering whether the sub-categories were appropriate for that tree. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 15 |
| Category:Populist parties in the Czech Republic | rename. There's no consensus to upmerge and get rid of this category entirely, but there's no opposition to renaming. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Poverty-related probems | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Power Core Combiners | procedural keep. No relevant rationale was supplied by | June 16 |
| Category:Practical disciplines | merge | June 14 |
| Category:Presidents of organizations | merge and rename to Category:Leaders of organizations. Most editors agreed with merging, and unanswered concerns about whether it's possible to differentiate between leaders and decision-makers were raised. Renaming the resulting category received almost universal support. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Prince Philip Designers Prize | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 12 |
| Category:Recipients of the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 19 |
| Category:Recipients of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal | delete | June 12 |
| Category:Recipients of the Military Cross (Belgium) | delete | June 4 |
| Category:Recipients of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine | delete | June 5 |
| Category:Recipients of the Order of the Palmetto | upmerged and deleted as proposed. (non-admin closure) | June 17 |
| Category:Republican actors | delete | June 18 |
| Category:Republican Party of Russia – People's Freedom Party | speedy rename per C2D | June 19 |
| Category:Restaurants and bars in Israel | delete. Only content was Category:Restaurants in Israel, which has been re-categorized | June 16 |
| Rivers and canals | rename/split as nominated | June 6 |
| Category:Role-playing video games by year | no action. There is a consensus in this discssusion that the sub-categories of Category:Role-playing video games by year should not exist, and AFAICS that they should be merged to one of more parent categories. However, none of those categories have been included in this nomination, so the only effect of closing this discussion as "delete" would be to remove the parent category which groups Category:Role-playing video games introduced in 1975, Category:Role-playing video games introduced in 1977 etc ... which would pointless. Furthermore, none of the sub-categories has been tagged, so it would be quite wrong for any action to be taken upon them when the readers of those categories have not been notified of this discussion. So, if anyone wants to start a new CFD discussion which actually lists all the categories involved and sets out the proposed actions to them, then feel free to do without delay. Pinging all the editors involved in this discussion ... @AdrianGamer, Ferret, The1337gamer, Mindmatrix, Hellknowz, and Marcocapelle: if you want help constructing a group nomination, feel free to ask on my talk page |
June 13 |
| Roman Catholic dioceses in Africa | keep as per the exception to WP:SMALLCAT. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
| Category:Roman Catholic dioceses in Djibouti | keep | June 23 |
| Category:Roman Catholic dioceses in Mauritania | keep | June 23 |
| Category:Roman-era students in Athens | keep. Those arguing to keep suggest that this was the equivalent to a specific prestigious university in this time period. This hasn't been refuted. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:Rotary Clubs in the United States | delete | June 8 |
| Category:Rotary Foundation fellows | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Royal family orders | withdrawn by nominator | June 15 |
| Category:Sanctions | delete; re-create as redirect to Category:International sanctions | June 9 |
| Category:Scopus indexed | delete | June 23 |
| Scottish MEPs | do not merge | June 20 |
| Category:Scottish Science Hall of Fame | delete | June 4 |
| Category:Secret student societies | delete, there is no need to merge because, as nominator points out, the content is already in the target | June 12 |
| Category:Sia Partners | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 24 |
| Category:Siblings of Presidents of the United States | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 17 |
| Category:Siblings of Prime Ministers of Malaysia | delete | June 8 |
| Category:Singing and Category:Vocal music | do as proposed | June 19 |
| Category:Snack companies by country | rename. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Social problems | upmerge as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands | merge and delete per nominator | June 11 |
| Category:South Korean television miniseries | redirect after the category had already been emptied before closure | June 4 |
| Splitting activists and politicians | split. Everyone agrees we should categorize activists and politicians together. Per the concerns of PanchoS, Category:Hong Kong pan-democrats should almost certainly be a container category. If a person can't be sorted into the activists subcat or any political party subcats, they probably don't belong there at all. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Stub category redirects | speedy delete as housekeeping, WP:G6. Thanks for listing these, but they don't need discussion; if you find any more, please use {{db-housekeeping}}. – | June 3 |
| Category:Student fraternities and sororities | merge | June 12 |
| Category:Suspense in horror video games | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 21 |
| Category:Television series filmed in Atlanta, Georgia | rename. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Television series produced in Oregon | merge. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Television series shot in Los Angeles, California | rename. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Thai desserts and Category:Thai snack foods | no consensus. Given that this doesn't mesh with existing category trees such as Category:Desserts by country, there needs to be at least somewhat of a consensus to complete such a merge. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 8 |
| Category:Thankful Villages | delete. The arguments for deletion were stronger (WP:NONDEF). The arguments for keeping didn't successfully refute the assertion that this isn't a defining characteristic of these villages. In fact, in some cases, they acknowledged this to be the case. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 12 |
| Category:Top lists | keep, but weakly. NO sign of any great enthusiasm for these categories, bur definitely no consensus to delete | June 10 |
| Category:Transport in China by autonomous region | merge as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Transvaal and the South African Republic | merge and delete per nominator | June 11 |
| Two more discipline-related categories | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Uncategorized fair use images | delete | June 2 |
| Category:United States deinstitutionalization case law | merge | June 22 |
| Category:Units of information (cognitive processes) | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Units of morphological analysis | delete | June 11 |
| Category:Unpretty Rapstar | merge the articles to Category:South Korean reality television series. The subcategory can be left in Category:Participants in South Korean reality television series. Consensus is that this category shouldn't really exist, but there was no consensus on how to resolve this and what to do with the subcategory. This is the action which realizes the consensus of getting rid of this category while presenting the smallest departure from the current categorization scheme. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 3 |
| Category:Vices | delete. Delete arguments center around the subjective criteria of this category as per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, which is based in our guidelines on overcategorization. These arguments haven't been rebuffed, and one keep argument even pointed to two contradictory definitions of vice in different countries. Upmerging didn't receive much consideration, and some subcategories such as Category:Pornography don't seem to easily fit into Category:Misconduct. This close does not preclude the creation of a category that categorizes articles on the topic of vice as defined by a specific country's laws or a specific organization, as that would seemingly address the rationale for deletion. If multiple such categories are created, a container category at Category:Vice may be appropriate, but you should probably gain consensus to create that category at a CfD before making it. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 2 |
| Category:W-League (Australia) players | speedy rename, to bring conformity with relevant articles and other category which was renamed | June 7 |
| Category:Web of Science indexed | Delete -- | June 23 |
| Whampoa Military Academy alumni | merge all | June 14 |
| Category:White Shoe law firms | delete | June 16 |
| Category:Wholesalers established in 1820 | merge per proposal 1 | June 17 |
| Category:Wikipedia bot owners | rename | June 22 |
| Category:Wikipedia categories named after cities | merge/rename/delete as per nom. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 10 |
| Category:Wikipedia categories named after Wikipedia categories | speedy delete | June 11 |
| Category:Women only space | speedy rename | June 19 |
| Category:Workflow Scheduler System | delete | June 20 |
| Category:Works about disciplines | merge | June 1 |
| Category:Works about fairy tales | withdrawn | June 16 |
| Category:Works about the Holy Grail legend | rename as per nom. There is no consensus to delete. The arguments for renaming are based on WP:CATNAME, which suggests we categorize based on the article names. The oppose argument doesn't refute this application of CATNAME and it's not clear what argument he's making against renaming. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 11 |
| Category:Works about the medical world | merge | June 1 |
| Category:Works based on the Holy Grail legend | rename. There's no consensus to delete. The arguments to merge weren't convincing to other editors, especially because certain works contain the object of the Holy Grail but aren't based on the Arthurian legend. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 11 |
| Category:Works by discipline | moved | June 1 |
| Category:Works by type | merge to Category:Categories by type | June 2 |
| Category:Works in folkloristics | rename | June 16 |
| Category:World War II battlefields | delete. (non-admin closure) | June 20 |
| Years in international relations | delete. (non-admin closure) ~ | June 4 |
