July 1[edit]

Category:Companies based in the National Capital Region (Canada)[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: soft delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary extra layer of categorization for two subcategories that are both already adequately categorized. Both categories are already in the appropriate city categories, which are in turn both already in Category:National Capital Region (Canada) as it is -- and both categories are also already in Category:Companies by city in Canada as well. So this is simply a superfluous path to subcategories that are already accessible from the parent categories as it is. Bearcat (talk) 23:34, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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: speedy deleted as empty category. Bearcat (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category has been empty for two months and the related article redirects to Children's games and toys. Brandmeistertalk 18:40, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note that if the category has been empty the entire time it's existed, and was not just emptied out of process immediately before being listed for deletion, then we can just speedy it as an empty category without requiring seven days of debate. Consider the deed done. Bearcat (talk) 23:41, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Years in the Rome Empire[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: merge. ℯxplicit 05:52, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
more categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, as the majority of these categories contain only one article without reasonable chances of expansion.
Note 1: there are two deliberate choices involved in this nomination. The first is a merge to global year levels, rather than merging to three continent year levels. Note that most of these categories are parented to a Europe and Asia year category (I'm not sure why they are not parented to an African category). However, since Europe, Africa and Asia are the only continents in most of these ancient year categories anyway, I don't think that triplicating the content in three separate subcategories adds much value. The second choice is the merge, within the Roman Empire tree, to decade level instead of century level, and that is simply because we have enough content for most decades. One could argue however, for consistency with other countries, that we should merge to century level instead, and if this results in too crowded century categories we might diffuse the Roman Empire century categories by other criteria than by decades.
Note 2: on the talk page there is a list of container categories that naturally become empty if this merge is accepted. Though they haven't been tagged, it would be helpful if the closing admin deletes them too upon closing this discussion.
Note 3: this is a continuation of the previous discussions of June 1, June 9 and June 17. Pinging editors who participated in earlier discussions @Oculi, Tim!, Nyttend, Peterkingiron, J 1982, Neutrality, Inter&anthro, Le Deluge, and Laurel Lodged: feel free to comment on this new nomination too. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Alright, let's leave that in the Roman Empire, this is not the right time to argue about one particular case. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed -- I am merely suggesting it probably needs a France Category too. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:People self-identified as ex-ex-gay. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:46, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This has been tagged for possible inappropriate labelling of people since 2010 and indeed doesn't look useful or defining. Brandmeistertalk 12:29, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. I also left a notification at the article talk page. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 1 July 2017 (UTC) [reply]
