Nominator's rationale: WP:OPINIONCAT – Muboshgu (talk) 18:41, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I have just removed the category from a number of articles where it was unsourced and unsupported by the article text. In any case, the title is vague as to whether it means critics of the system, or critics of particular decisions the Electoral College has made. StAnselm (talk) 19:08, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, though add the George Edwards article to Category:Presidency of the United States. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:33, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fungi of the Middle East[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: rename. MER-C 19:57, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To align with how flora (and fauna) is categorized (more precisely defined non-overlapping areas). See related discussion.
Note: After renaming the category should be reparented to be under Category:Biota of Western Asia and a map added.  Middle East can include some areas that are not in Western Asia (e.g. African Egypt) so I'll check that all the articles belong in the new category. A note should be left at Category:Biota of the Middle East like there is for flora. DexDor (talk) 17:24, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've now checked all the articles in the category and currently (after removing a few that made no mention of this part of the world) there are no articles that would need to be recategorized because of the rename (e.g. if only found in the Arabian Peninsula). Many of the fungi have a very wide range (e.g. "Asia, Europe, and North America") so there isn't really sufficient info in the article to be sure they belong in the category under either name.

Category:Football in the Arab states of the Persian Gulf[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. MER-C 20:03, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: this is follow up on the nomination right below. Option A: rename to Category:Football in the Arabian Peninsula; option B: merge to Category:Football in the Arab world. I have a weak preference for option B, as it is not immediately clear to me why we would need to have such a narrow geographical category for football. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:43, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Option B, merging to a larger category is a better option than renaming. Note: the category for option A should be Football in the Arab Arabian Peninsula UA3 (talk) 16:57, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 10:21, 25 November 2019 (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: merge manually. MER-C 20:02, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, except for one country (Yemen) the Arab states of the Persian Gulf coincide with the Arabian Peninsula. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:38, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shouldn't GCC be removed from the Persian Gulf hierarchy? GCC is not about the gulf but about some of the surrounding countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 20:00, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the two categories are about the same thing. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to better developed category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:19, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge because they are basically the same category anyways. It is just that both are missing people and subcategories from the other. FoxTech20 (talk) 04:39, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename, except for Category:Lurish scientists which is deleted. MER-C 10:06, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: 'Lurish' is a rare name for Lurs, while 'Luri' is way more common. Semsurî (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Relisting comment: I have combined four nominations with identical rationale into this one when relisting. MER-C 10:49, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, although Google search does not provide the most reliable measure, the number of hits I'm getting with "Luri music" outperforms the number of hits with "Lurish music" by a factor 100, that should be sufficient to support this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:49, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note, categories were not tagged until now. – Fayenatic London 11:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support rename, delete Category:Lurish scientists as there is no scheme for Lur people by occupation and the one in it is unsourced in this regard and already in Category:Iranian scientists and Category:Kurdish scientists. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:12, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also agree with deletion of the scientists subcat. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:39, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 19:54, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overly specific categorization unnecessary for general usage. TTN (talk) 02:16, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • They're currently covered elsewhere in that structure. In the end, I think there will only be one category regardless seeing as there should only be ten to fifteen total pages most likely. TTN (talk)

  • Delete. None of the articles are actually about Mini-Cons, and besides, every article in the category is going to get deleted in a few weeks' time anyway. JIP | Talk 15:12, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:French-language Netflix original films[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: no consensus. MER-C 09:47, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A case of WP:OVERCAT, and raised at the Film Project here. Also nominating the following simliar categories. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:56, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Films only need the language cat. Combining that with the studio that made them is over categorizing them. MarnetteD|Talk 18:13, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If not kept, merge to Category:Netflix original films. It would be strange to leave the English-language films in the latter category untouched while at the same time removing all films in other languages. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:07, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Bruck-Mürzzuschlag District[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: rename/merge Category:Cities and towns in Mürzzuschlag District, Category:Bruck an der Mur District and Category:Mürzzuschlag District only. The others are not renamed. MER-C 10:03, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator rationale: The two districts of Austria, Mürzzuschlag District and Bruck an der Mur District, were merged in 2015 into Bruck-Mürzzuschlag District, but the category tree was not aligned with this move. For example, all localities in the two districts are currently categorized as Category:Cities and towns in Mürzzuschlag District which is incorrect. I created Category:Cities and towns in Bruck-Mürzzuschlag District without knowing this, and, as soon as I have understood the situation, I proposed a speedy move which was opposed. Thus, I propose to merge/move:

Nominator's rationale: While there are eleven pages in this category, the ten that aren't the primary topic are actors for this show, failing WP:PERFCAT. ミラP 01:59, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
