  • Support, same thing as for the US, further up on this page. And besides a container category with one subcategory merely hinders navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:19, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to parents. MER-C 10:40, 6 October 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. MER-C 09:52, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category contains only Eliahu Eilat, who is already in Category:Hebrew University of Jerusalem faculty. He is described in the article as "the president of Hebrew University from 1962 to 1968" so the category could alternatively be renamed "Presidents of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem". TSventon (talk) 10:59, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buddhism portals[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: speedy delete per WP:G6. Portal:Buddhism was deleted per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Buddhism, so the category is now empty. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. After the deletion of several Buddhism-related portals, this category is now a pointless layer. It contains only two items, i.e. Portal:Buddhism and Category:Buddhism portal. So best merged to both parent categs. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:14, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename/delete. MER-C 10:43, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete Categorizing companies by where they are formerly based is a WP:OVERCAT; as evidence, of all the cities on Earth where companies were formerly based, these are the only two such categories. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
