January 20
|
| Category:American men of Indian descent |
merge. All participants agreed that the category should not exist. There was no consensus on whether to merge or delete outright, so I am defaulting to merge to retain some of the categorization information |

delete/merge as nominated. |
January 11
|
| Category:American people of Korean-Chinese descent |
merge. There was consensus that the nominated category should not exist but no consensus on whether to merge or delete outright. So defaulting to merge to retain some of the categorization information |

delete. I have also taken into account the comments in the other related discussions on this page, here and here. I have not discounted Carlossuarez46's !vote, as was suggested |
January 4
|
| Category:American sportspeople of Lebanese descent |
there is consensus that the nominated category should be deleted. There is no consensus on whether the contents should be merged to Category:American people of Lebanese descent. So defaulting to "merge" in order to retain the status quo with respect to the information categorizing articles by Lebanese descent. As a result, Category:American sportspeople of Arab descent can be deleted as empty |
January 18
|
| Category:American sportspeople of Syrian descent |
delete; not clear if there is consensus to not merge and delete outright, so I am defaulting to merge to preserve the categorization information |

January 4
|
| Category:Asian-American librarians |
rename; no consensus to delete |
January 11
|
| Asian-American theologians |
delete, mainly because it was the parent category for categories (discussed concurrently with this one) that were deleted. See here and here. It was difficult to read a consensus here, but I took these other discussions into account. This close does not preclude someone from creating some sort of category for theologians of Asian theology |

no consensus. I note that this currently contains one Georgian prince and a subcat of Georgian generals. However, unlike the Baltic German case above, there is no ethnic "Georgian people" hierarchy, but only "People from Georgia" or "People of Georgian descent". A clearer consensus would therefore be required to move this out of the descent hierarchy. – |

while there were users in favour of keeping these, I found that the arguments in favour of deletion far more accurately reflected the guidelines found in WP:OCAWARD (which is really a sub-guideline of the broader WP:NONDEF): "A category of award recipients should exist only if receiving the award is a defining characteristic for the large majority of its notable recipients". It's clear from how articles address these awards that this high standard has not been met in these cases |
