Propose renaming Category:Big Brother (Africa) seasons to Category:Big Brother Africa seasons

Nominator's rationale: The article which this category is named after is Big Brother Africa, which is the name of the TV series. Even though I don't see the point in this categorization, it should at least have the correct name used. Gonnym (talk) 16:05, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Historians of the Ottoman Empire by century

Nominator's rationale: these are categories with an ambiguous title: they were originally intended for historians who lived in the Ottoman Empire - but that conflicts with the convention of "historians of" that suggests that the Ottoman Empire was their main topic as a historian. Because each of the nominated categories is not hugely populated the proposal is to solve the ambiguity problem by means of:

merging to writers categories (that are more clearly about people who lived in the Ottoman Empire)
and selectively adding the articles to Category:Historians of the Ottoman Empire or a new subcategory that was already proposed in this earlier discussion: Category:Muslim historians of the Ottoman Empire, both of which are more clearly about historians of the Ottoman Empire.

Support -- Most of these are too small to be allowed to survive. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:24, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
