| Category:Burials at Old Saint Joseph's Cemetery (Waterbury, Connecticut) |
merge. I infer from @Johnpacklambert's comment an argument that people should be categorised by place of burial only if the burial is in a notable cemetery, and should not be categorised by simply region of burial; in other words, Category:Burials in Connecticut should be {{container category}}. I am sure JPL could make a good case for that, but most of the by-state subcats of Category:Burials in the United States by state are not being used as containers, and nor are many of the by-country subcats of Category:Burials by country. A proposal to containerise them would make an interesting discussion, but since there is not yet a consensus to containerise, this one should be merged to the state category |

procedural close. The nominator @Chicbyaccident was showing little regard for consensus-forming processes, and has now abandoned it entirely by renaming[1] this category while this discussion is open. Since the nominator has abandoned any pretence of respecting this consensus-forming process, I am closing this discussion. I will revert the move, and protect the category page |

|
| Category:Eastern Catholicism |
Procedural close. Contrary to claims below by the nominator @Chicbyaccident, the 2017 October 24 CFD was not closed prematurely; it was closed after 77 days. It was also not closed as "no consensus"; it was closed as keep, with a clear explanation: "No reason was offered for naming this category to a different format from its subcats such as Category:History of Eastern Catholicism. If it was intended that they should be renamed too, they should have been tagged and listed as part of a group nomination".
This nomination is another attempt to apply a change to large set of categories which have neither been tagged nor listed. Those two omissions prevent a valid WP:CONSENSUS being formed, because a) the lack of tagging means that editors who visit and/or watchlist the pages effected will see no indication that a discussion is underway regarding their fate; b) anyone who visits on this discussion page will see no list of the proposal's scope.
So I am closing this discussion now, because its procedural flaws mean cannot be closed as anything other than "keep". Leaving it open would simply be wasting the time of anyone who commented.
The nominator makes a reasoned case for the proposed change, but that case needs to be made as a group nomination of all the categories involved. Instructions on how to do this are at WP:CFD#HOWTO, and if the nominator would like assistance, I suggest a request at WT:CFD |

withdrawn by nominator. @Störm: note that per WP:Cat gender, women poets should not be removed from any other category due to being categorised as women poets. The gendered categories should all be tagged as Non-diffusing_subcategories, as is e.g. Category:German women poets.
Note also that Category:Male poets is one of ten subcats of Category:Male writers by format. A nomination to remove Category:Male poets while leaving the others in place would need to explain why you consider poets an exception |

In this case, it seems that @Hawkeye7 intended to correctly launch a WP:RM discussion as a followup to Talk:Trident (UK nuclear programme)#Requested_move_2_February_2018, but something went wrong: the article has been tagged[2] for this CfD, but the category wasn't. So I am closing this CfD, and point Hawkeye7 to the guidance at WP:RM#CM. If there is a consensus to rename the article,then the category can be speedily renamed per WP:C2D |
