Category:Ethiopian lyricists rename to Category:Ethiopian songwriters. Consensus is that as named there is little potential for growth, and the name is not accurate as the one entry is a songwriter rather than just a lyricist October 8

Footballers by city in Israel merge all containing fewer than five articles, rename the rest to "footballers" (with some support and no opposition here, and could be done speedily anyway under WP:C2C), and splitting Category:Footballers from Jaffa from Category:Footballers from Tel Aviv.

Category:Go competitions in Germany merge. – October 28

Category:Impulse-control disorder not elsewhere classified rename to Category:Impulse-control disorders and populate. – October 27
Category:Indian film singers merge October 3
Category:Indian mythological television series keep. If this is revisited in future, it might be helpful to consider more of the hierarchy Category:Hindu mythology in popular culture together. – October 12

Category:Iranian vocalists rename/merge per nom. October 10
Category:Italian Life Senators rename. October 20
Category:Jamaican girl groups double merge, also to Category:Girl groups. Note 1: Category:Jamaican women singers is diffused by century. Note 2: as stated below, Category:Girl groups by nationality has many other small sub-cats, so all those with just 1 or 2 members should be nominated following this CFD. – October 27
Category:Japanese people with non-standard romanized names delete October 5
Category:Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist monks rename and purge of non-priest members October 27

Category:Lists of people by nickname keep October 29
Category:Lists of people sharing a surname rename all. – October 8
Category:Lists of restaurants by ethnicity rename also considering the previous discussion. If there is going to be a follow-up nomination about using "cuisine" in the name it makes sense to nominate the two categories together. (non-admin closure) October 18
Category:Los Angeles FC broadcasters delete (non-admin closure) October 16
Category:Lua String-based templates rename. October 31
Category:Madonna (entertainer) procedural close because the category page has not been tagged to give notice of this discussion, thus the only people commenting below were here because they happened to be browsing CFD for other reasons. In any case, the discussion below shows no consensus, which is not surprising as it is only months since the previous nomination, and no new rationale was put forward by October 27
Category:Magazines reestablished in 2010 merge October 12
Category:Major League Soccer over-the-air television broadcasters keep. (non-admin closure) October 16
Category:Male superheroes no consensus. The applicable global consensus is at WP:EGRS (specifically WP:CATGENDER) and WP:OVERCAT (specifically WP:NONDEF and WP:OCEGRS), which, summed up, state that an intersection category, such as "gender + superhero" (e.g., Category:Male superheroes), should only exist if, according to WP:RS, the intersection is a "defining characteristic" of the article subject. There was no consensus reached in this discussion as to whether any of these category intersections were defining.
Some editors pointed to the sources compiled at Superhero#Female superheroes and villains as establishing that "female + superhero" was a defining intersection per RS. Editors in favor of deleting or merging these categories did not address these sources, e.g. with a source analysis evaluating specific sources, or with any counterarguments for why these sources do not establish a defining intersection. This, alone, might be enough to close the CFD of Category:Female superheroes as "keep".
However, editors by and large did not address whether these sources establish that being a female superhero is defining for every female superhero or only some female superheroes, e.g. the specific publishers' sub-categories (Marvel Comics female superheroes, DC Comics female superheroes, etc.). Also unaddressed was whether the sources establish that "gender + superhero" was defining generally, or only specifically "female + superhero", e.g. whether the RSes that putatively establish "female + superhero" as defining also establish "male + superhero" (or other genders) as defining. There was little or no discussion about whether one group of gender categories should be treated differently than another. In other words: there was little or no discussion about splitting up this bundled nomination and treating the individual categories differently.
As such, even though the argument that female+superhero was a defining intersection was not rebutted, there was no consensus reached about what that means, e.g. does that mean keep Category:Female superheroes and delete the rest (as one editor suggested), or keep all the female categories and merge/delete the rest, or something else. No prejudice to a renomination, but I suggest editors consider whether they want to have a more general discussion about sub-categorizing superheroes (or fictional characters generally) by gender (which should not be done via CFD, but probably via RFC at some appropriate page), or whether they want to discuss merging/deleting these categories specifically, or just some subset of these categories (in which case a new CFD should be more specific about merge targets, and also address any sources that editors point to as establishing defining intersections, or, if the argument is that they should be deleted and not merged, explain why). (non-admin closure)
October 10
Category:Manga authors navigational boxes rename. – October 24
Category:Manitoba communities with large francophone populations rename to Category:Manitoba communities with majority francophone populations. The decision on whether to keep/delete the category is pretty heavily contested, but it's also pretty clear that the current name isn't quite appropriate either. No consensus defaulting to keep doesn't seem to be the best close here. No prejudice towards a deletion discussion about the cat on its own merits in the future October 22
Category:Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania rename to Category:Mecklenburg-Vorpommern October 31
Category:Members of the Optical Society partial merge to Category:Optica (society) for sub-categories only, purge remaining biographies (who for the record are Vadim Backman, Charles K. Kao & Charles Elwood Mendenhall). – October 24

Merged WikiProject/Task Tracking Categories no action yet. These categories may be renamed in due course under WP:G6. – October 20
Category:Monroe White Sox delete (non-admin closure) October 7
Category:Muhajir people no consensus. The objection carries some weight, and a stronger consensus would be desirable for a move, especially as there are multiple like-named sub-cats which have not been nominated. – October 22
Category:Muhajir delete, but the consensus is not a strong one, so Disperse and disambiguate. I suggest that the contents be manually dispersed within Category:Human migration, and the category page be disambiguated.– October 22

Category:Psychiatric disease and disorder templates rename to Category:Mental disorder templates October 27
Category:Psychiatric diseases and disorders merge. I will redirect the old page. – October 22
Category:Psychiatric institutions merge to Category:Psychiatry organizations. Since the medical organizations category tree contains hospitals, the merge is not completely inappropriate. It may be better to split the professional associations to another category instead October 22
Category:Psychiatric instruments: geriatric psychiatry delete. October 10
Category:Psychiatric terminology delete. October 21
Category:Psychiatry awards merge to Category:Psychiatry profession and Category:Medicine awards. The other parent Category:Psychology awards also seems perfectly valid, so I am going to merge it there too. – October 21

The Far Side of the Leith keep and instead do Option B, i.e. rename Category:Lands of Transleithania (1867—1918) to Category:Lands of the Kingdom of Hungary (1867–1918), and merge Category:Transleithania (1867—1918) to Category:Kingdom of Hungary (1867–1918). The Transleithania categories are not tagged but have been recently created by the nominator, so there is no need to tag them and relist this. – October 26

Category:Turkish female radio singers merge. I will also add Behiye Aksoy, Semahat Özdenses and Hamiyet Yüceses to the other parent Category:Turkish radio people, but the radio aspect does not seem so defining for Safiye Ayla, Zehra Bilir or Kudsi Erguner. – October 28
