Nominator's rationale: There are only five articles in this category, and only two in the target (parent) category, one of which is US headquartered.

With a total of only seven companies worldwide, geographical categorization is WP:OVERCAT. Guy (Help!) 12:03, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I cant see the merit of this. It seems a good idea that these organisations should be linked into Category:Medical and health organizations based in the United States, and it seems quite likely that there will be further articles in these categories.Rathfelder (talk) 17:54, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If merged, at least dual merge to both parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It wouldnt be helpful to just merge them into Medical and health organizations. They are very fundamentally different. Rathfelder (talk) 07:21, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bookstores of Nepal[edit]

I hope this is the correct place to do this but I would like to nominate a new category to be created: "Category:Bookstores of Nepal". There are currently at least three Wikipedia pages about bookstores in Nepal: Pilgrims Book House, Ratna Pustak Bhandar and Quixote's Cove. There are other quality bookstores in Nepal (e.g. Himal Books, Kathmandu; Mandala Book Point, Kathmandu) and thus more possible Wikipedia pages to be created. A category "Category:Bookstores of Nepal" would match the many other "bookstores by country" categories such as "Category:Bookstores of India", "Category:Bookstores of the Philippines", "Category:Bookstores of Thailand", "Category:Bookstores of Japan", etc.--Perseus25 (talk) 09:08, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • You dont need permission to create new categories. Just be bold and do it! Rathfelder (talk) 17:55, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, Rathfelder. I have now successfully created the new category, Category:Bookstores of Nepal, but, before doing that, I mistakenly created a new and incorrect category, Category:Bookstores in Nepal which I am now unsuccessfully trying to delete (using the "How to move a category" instructions in Wikipedia's Help pages). Could anyone please assist in deleting "Category:Bookstores in Nepal"? Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.--Perseus25 (talk) 21:46, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:Bookstores in Nepal has been tagged as empty now, so the page will disappear in 7 days. Another possibility for having your own page creation deleted is tagging the page with {{Db-self}}, then it will be deleted the same day. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:21, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks very much for your action, Marcocapelle and for your advice which I have noted down for my future reference.--Perseus25 (talk) 06:46, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
