- Propose merging Category:Big Brother (franchise) seasons into Category:Big Brother (TV series) seasons

- Propose renaming Category:The Autonomy (Italy) to Category:The Autonomy
- Nominator's rationale: C2D per The Autonomy. Charles Essie (talk) 13:46, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Support The article has had the same name since 2009 and a discussion on the talk page confirmed the name. The category name should blindly follow. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:22, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

(non-admin closure) MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)(please reply using {{ping}}) 17:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Socialism and Freedom Party to Category:Socialism and Liberty Party
- Propose renaming Category:Socialism and Freedom Party politicians to Category:Socialism and Liberty Party politicians
- Nominator's rationale: C2D per Socialism and Liberty Party. Charles Essie (talk) 13:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete first category per WP:SMALLCAT (no need to merge, the article is in the parent categories already). Support renaming second category per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:40, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- Would you be alright with renaming it first and then starting a separate delete discussion? Charles Essie (talk) 16:13, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Why would you want to keep it (now)? Marcocapelle (talk) 12:15, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Cricket grounds in Uttarakhand[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: keep. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:43, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary categorisation as it has the same exact articles in it as Category:Sports venues in Uttarakhand. MorbidEntree - (Talk to me! (っ◕‿◕)っ♥)(please reply using {{ping}}) 11:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. For each of those articles one of the two category tags should be removed (see WP:SUBCAT) - that doesn't require a CFD discussion. Then we could consider an upmerge to both Category:Cricket grounds in India and Category:Sports venues in Uttarakhand, but I don't see a compelling reason for such an upmerge. DexDor (talk) 05:52, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose per Dex. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 06:50, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep there are enough articles to justify retention. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:52, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Uttarakhand is a state of India. We should allow India to have things diffused by state. We would not even think of merging baseball stadia in Louisiana to a US category, which would be an equivalent. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:North African comics into Category:African comics
- Nominator's rationale: No scope to build a useful regional category here. – Fayenatic London 09:12, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Comment -- You are effectively ignoring the Sahara, which makes North Africa a long way from the rest of the continent. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:10, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Support per the spirit of WP:OVERLAPCAT, a North African category subdivided by nationality results in the same content and structure as an African category subdivided by nationality (for the North African nationalities at least). Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

[edit]
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:23, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is categorizing articles (not talk pages) about real-world things by their relationship to a Wikimedia partnership. It causes categorization such as putting the article about the year 1309 in Category:Library of Congress. See related CFD Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_January_20#Category:Smithsonian_Institution_Archives_related. Even categories (e.g. this) are being placed in the category. It is a rare (if not unique) case of a hidden category that's (currently) in a articles (content) category. If not deleted then it should be renamed to make clear that it's an administration category (e.g. "Wikipedia articles that use material from the World Digital Library"). See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_January_27#Category:World_Digital_Library_related and Category talk:World Digital Library related. DexDor (talk) 06:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Grouping things because they're in a library (be it virtual, online, or Wikimedia related) isn't defining.RevelationDirect (talk) 11:25, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Other Game of Death films[edit]

- The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 20:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Other Game of Death films into Category:The Game of Death
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. I'm not sure why this is a subcat of the main cat when the main cat has only one article in it, while the subcat has the main category subject film in it. I'd also say at the same time that we should rename the main cat to "Game of Death films", but I can make a separate request for that if needed. MSJapan (talk) 03:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- upmerge per nom. I should not this was created by a banned user, a sock of Charliewolf79, so also qualifies for speedy deletion under criteria G5.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 07:27, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:The Game of Death films per The Game of Death. The other one, in the top category, is Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey, which is a documentary rather than a film in a series. Oculi (talk) 10:41, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
- Merge -- I have made the rule "one franchise: one category. The target has only got one article in it, clearly showing that an "other" category is not needed. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
