Support. as a redundant category. Coleman was a composer and already has all the relevant entries at Category:Songs with music by Cy Coleman. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:42, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 June 21#Biographical categories. ℯxplicit 03:57, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete (or heavily purge some of them?) per WP:OCEPON especially since the larger amount of content of these categories is inappropriate, e.g. per WP:SHAREDNAME. Pinging @Spinningspark, Peterkingiron, RevelationDirect, and JarrahTree: who participated in this earlier similar discussion. The nominated categories have all been created by the same editor User:Hocimi of whom some more categories have been nominated in the past weeks. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rename and purge -- These seem to be a mixture of "things associated with ..." and "things named after ...". The latter, at least, is a "shared name" category, which is not allowed. The right place for that is a dab-page. For the explorers, we might have the basis of a category, but it should probably be called Category:Expeditions of Roald Amundsen, etc, which would take it out of OCEPON. In some cases substantially everything is "named after": those need to be deleted. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge and delete as nominated. ℯxplicit 03:57, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge/delete as unnecessary container categories, only having one or two subcats, thus merely hindering navigation. The nominated categories have all been created by the same editor User:Hocimi. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
