February 2021

 * Category:Slavic tradition: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Slavic traditions 12:38, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Ukrainian traditional culture: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ukrainian folk culture 12:40, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Russian folk games: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Russian games 13:08, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

 * Category:Norwegian traditional folk musicians: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Norwegian traditional musicians 08:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Traditional music and traditional folk music are considered the same.
 * Category:Polynesian folk clothing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Polynesian clothing 06:34, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Tamil folks singers: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Tamil folk singers (notified); notified 09:06, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Implausible typo, not useful as a soft redirect, no meaningful page history.
 * Category:Italian Folk Music: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Italian folk music (notified); notified 08:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Not useful as a soft redirect, no meaningful page history. We don't need soft redirects with different capitalisation for every category, unless there's a reason it might be capitalised that way.
 * Category:Folk art museums in Greece: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk art museums and galleries in Greece 13:44, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Characters of the Slavic Cabinet Mythology: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 12:19, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I can't decipher the name of this category or the connection between the articles in it other than them being from Slavic folklore. There is nothing on Wikipedia about "Slavic Cabinet Mythology". A Google search only brings up results from this category on Wikipedia or mirrors. The contents are already in other appropriate Slavic folklore categories so no upmerging is necessary.
 * Category:Religious Rituals: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Religious rituals (notified); notified 23:20, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – Unnecessary soft redirect, no meaningful page history. No redirect should have been created when the category was renamed. There would be a ridiculous amount of soft redirects if we had one with different capitalisation for every category.

July 2021

 * Category:Sony/ATV Music Publishing: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Sony Music Publishing 04:33, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Company was renamed this year.
 * Category:Music published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Music published by Sony Music Publishing 04:33, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Sony/ATV Music Publishing artists: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Sony Music Publishing artists 04:34, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Talk:Asp (reptile): nominated at RM; New name: Asp (snake) 14:43, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Clearer and more specific. Asp only refers to specifically snakes, no other reptiles. It's currently confusing that Asp (snake) redirects to a disambiguation page instead of this one. This is an article that discusses the meaning of asp in relation to snakes and can cover the snake entries on that disambiguation page.

August 2021

 * Category:Phoenician characters in Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Phoenician characters in classical mythology 13:55, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Textiles in mythology and folklore: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Textiles in folklore 14:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Article was moved last year.
 * Category:Religious architecture: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Sacral architecture 14:28, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Article was moved in 2007.
 * Category:Popular culture about unicorns: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Unicorns in popular culture; notified 03:26, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This category was renamed in a batch as a result of this discussion in 2018. It was one of only two categories in the batch that contained "popular culture", and many other popular culture categories were not included. Its inclusion seems like a mistake, and the new name is awkward and possibly nonsensical. The old name was better and matched the other categories Category:Legendary creatures in popular culture.
 * Category:Popular culture about the United States Marine Corps: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:United States Marine Corps in popular culture; notified 03:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This category was renamed in a batch as a result of this discussion in 2018. It was one of only two categories in the batch that contained "popular culture", and many other popular culture categories were not included. Its inclusion seems like a mistake, and the new name is awkward and possibly nonsensical. No redirect should be left if it's moved back.
 * Category:Eschatology in norse mythology: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Eschatology in Norse mythology (notified); notified 14:32, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – Unneeded soft redirect resulting from a typo. Should have been deleted when moved as they usually are.

September 2021

 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in popular culture: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in popular culture 13:41, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per parent category Category:Classical mythology and all its other subcategories. Greco-Roman mythology is classical mythology. I will nominate its subcategories for C2C once this one is renamed.
 * Greco roman rugby: nominated at RfD; Target: Rugby league (notified); notified 10:25, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – I can't find any real references to this term online. It's not mentioned in the article. There are no redirects from similar terms, such as from the correct spelling. MClay1 (talk) 10:25, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Greco-Roman Rugby: nominated at RfD; Target: Rugby league (notified); notified 10:28, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Folklore museums in Greece: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk museums in Greece 01:16, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Folklore museums in Macedonia (Greece): nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk museums in Macedonia (Greece) 01:16, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Folklore museums in Central Macedonia: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk museums in Central Macedonia 01:17, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Folklore museums in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk museums in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace 01:17, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Folklore museums in Western Macedonia: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Folk museums in Western Macedonia 01:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Lists of art museums: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Lists of art museums and galleries 01:21, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Defunct art galleries in Hong Kong: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Defunct art museums and galleries in Hong Kong 01:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Africa in Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Africa in classical mythology 01:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Encyclopedias in Classical Antiquity: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Encyclopedias in classical antiquity 03:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: No need for caps per classical antiquity and Category:Classical antiquity.
 * Category:Condemned souls into Tartarus: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Condemned souls in Tartarus 03:42, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Grammar. The category is for people in Tartarus.
 * Category:Songs about Hell: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Songs about hell 03:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: also C2C.
 * Category:Video games set in Hell: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Video games set in hell 03:52, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: also C2C.
 * Category:Hades (underworld) in popular culture: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Greek underworld in popular culture 03:55, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Hades (underworld) in Greco-Roman literature: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Underworld in classical literature 04:29, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Greco-Roman literature is classical literature. "Hades (underworld)" is referring to the Greek underworld and Roman underworld but it's unnecessary to specify.
 * Category:Classical studies: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Classics 06:13, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Modern influence of Norse mythology: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 06:50, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Just an unnecessary container for three subcategories of Category:Norse mythology. Basically no opportunity for expansion. There are no other parent cats nor does it fit within an established category tree. Upmerge contents.
 * Category:History of Greek Antiquity by period: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Ancient Greece by period; notified 07:49, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: cf. Category:Ancient Rome by period. Going by the naming convention in Category:Former countries by period, it would be Category:History of ancient Greece by period, but that seems like tautology.
 * Category:Greek Antiquity in art and culture: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Greece in art and culture 08:03, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: "antiquity" should not be capitalised, but "Greek antiquity" should be "Ancient Greece" per Category:Places in popular culture, cf. Category:Ancient Rome in art and culture.
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in art: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in art 09:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in comics: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in comics 09:46, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in music: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in music 09:47, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Sculptures of Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Sculptures of classical mythology 09:48, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Operas based on Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Operas based on classical mythology 09:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in anime and manga: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in anime and manga 09:52, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in DC Comics: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in DC Comics 09:53, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greco-Roman mythology in Marvel Comics: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Classical mythology in Marvel Comics 09:53, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Films based on Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Films based on classical mythology 09:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Animated films based on Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Animated films based on classical mythology 09:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Television series based on Greco-Roman mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Television series based on classical mythology 09:58, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Video games based on Greek mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Video games based on classical mythology 09:59, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Pop culture language: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Popular culture language 08:06, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per Popular culture.
 * Category:Pop-culture neologisms: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Popular culture neologisms 08:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per Popular culture.
 * Category:Camp Half-Blood series: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Camp Half-Blood Chronicles 10:24, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Camp Half-Blood characters: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Camp Half-Blood Chronicles characters 10:27, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Amazons (Greek mythology): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Amazons; notified 12:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I can't see any compelling need for disambiguation. The article is at Amazons. There are no other uses for "Amazons" other than the comics characters named after the original Amazons, and those categories are subcats of this one. It's unambiguously the primary topic with no room for confusion with the rainforest.
 * Category:Sculptures of Neptune: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Sculptures of Poseidon and Neptune; notified 13:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: In artistic representation, many of the Greek and Roman gods are interchangeable. There are articles on statues of Poseidon that could fit into this category. The category needs to be renamed anyway to disambiguate from the planet. Adding in Poseidon avoids the need for brackets.
 * Category:Novels set in Ancient Troy: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Novels set in ancient Troy 04:16, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Seven Against Thebes: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Seven against Thebes 15:07, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Television programs based on actual events: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Television shows based on actual events 14:26, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Works based on Greek and Roman plays: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Works based on ancient Greek and Roman plays 14:34, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: not intended to contain modern Greek material.
 * Category:Plays based on Greek and Roman plays: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Plays based on ancient Greek and Roman plays 14:35, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: not intended to contain modern Greek material.
 * Category:Alternate versions of films: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Alternative versions of films 09:31, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per MOS:COMMONALITY.
 * Category:Video games with alternate versions: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Video games with alternative versions 09:33, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per MOS:COMMONALITY.
 * Category:Alternate soundtracks: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Alternative versions of soundtracks 11:32, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: also C2B per MOS:COMMONALITY.
 * Category:Roman philosophy: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Ancient Roman philosophy 13:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Roman philosophy studies: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Ancient Roman philosophy studies 13:02, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Scholars of Roman philosophy: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Scholars of ancient Roman philosophy 13:02, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Roman philosophers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Roman philosophers 13:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Roman philosophical literature: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Roman philosophical literature 13:05, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greek and Roman dancers: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Roman dancers 13:19, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: No reason to lump the nationalities together. All people in the category are Roman anyway. We can create a separate category for ancient Greeks if needed.
 * Category:Greek and Roman sculptures in the British Museum: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Greek and Roman sculptures in the British Museum 13:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Greek and Roman objects in the British Museum: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Ancient Greek and Roman objects in the British Museum 13:26, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Works based on Greek and Roman works: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Works based on classical literature 13:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Only intended to cover literature not other works such as artworks.
 * Category:Plays based on Greek and Roman works: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Plays based on classical literature 13:36, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Only intended to cover literature not other works such as artworks.
 * Category:Greek mythological epic poets: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Mythological Greek epic poets 14:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Arabic punctuations and symbols: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Arabic punctuation and symbols 23:39, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Mythic aquatic creatures: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Mythological aquatic creatures 06:28, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Category:Dwarves (mythology): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Dwarves (folklore) 13:27, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Dwarf (folklore) was renamed a while ago.
 * Category:Works based upon Japanese myths and legends: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Works based on Japanese myths and legends 14:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per Category:Works based on works and subcategories.
 * Category:Works based upon Korean myths and legends: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Works based on Korean myths and legends 14:25, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per Category:Works based on works and subcategories.

February 2022

 * The Cannon Film Company: nominated at AfD; notified 13:30, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Non-notable company. Article created by the owner.

September 2022

 * Jonathan Lipow: nominated at RfD; Target: List of Monster High characters (notified); notified 08:02, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Confusing redirect that appears to be from a voice actor to an article listing one fictional character he has voiced. He's not mentioned in the article and I don't know of any reason why he should be associated with that character more than any of his other work. Unless anyone can think of a better target, seems like it should be deleted.

November 2022

 * Category:George Thorogood & The Destroyers albums: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:George Thorogood and the Destroyers albums 06:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Standard way band names are generally written out on Wikipedia, including on the article for their eponymous album, George Thorogood and the Destroyers (album).
 * Category:George Thorogood & The Destroyers live albums: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:George Thorogood and the Destroyers live albums 06:16, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

January 2023

 * Category:Nigeria mythology: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Nigerian mythology 06:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Works set in Ancient China: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Works set in ancient China 12:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: "Ancient" should not be capitalised per common usage on Wikipedia, such as Outline of ancient China.
 * Category:Films set in Ancient China: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Films set in ancient China 12:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Novels set in Ancient China: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Novels set in ancient China 12:13, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Television series set in Ancient China: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Television series set in ancient China 12:13, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Video games set in Ancient China: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Video games set in ancient China 12:14, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Films based on the Jason-Medea myth: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 14:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: "The Jason-Medea myth" is an unclear descriptor and doesn't appear to be in common usage even in scholarly sources. After restructuring the categories, all but one of the films focusing Jason and Medea are in the subcat Category:Films based on Medea (Euripides play)‎. Everything can be upmerged.
 * Category:Operas based on the Jason-Medea myth: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Operas based on Medea (Euripides play); notified 14:22, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: "The Jason-Medea myth" is an unclear descriptor and doesn't appear to be in common usage even in scholarly sources. Most of the operas are based on Medea (play)‎, which would fit into the existing category Category:Works based on Medea (Euripides play). The others can be moved to Category:Works about the Argonauts.

February 2023

 * Category:Works set in the Crimea: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Works set in Crimea 06:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: See all other categories about Crimea.
 * Category:Family tree in Greek mythology: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 09:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Unnecessary category with only one article. If we ever get any more Greek mythology family trees, we can create a new category. The name of this one doesn't seem grammatically correct.
 * Template:Fag: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Find a Grave (notified); notified 10:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – Unneeded and only had a few transclusions, which I replaced. Obviously, it's intended as an initialism for Find a Grave; however, the resulting word is unfortunate and best avoided. At least the redirect Template:FAG is a little more obvious that it's an abbreviation.

March 2023

 * Category:Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir 15:05, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Template:Auto compact TOC: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Compact TOC; notified 09:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Should we implement the idea of this little-used template into the standard Compact TOC? Compact TOC currently allows for the omission of letters by requiring each letter to be removed individually with parameters, which will inevitably lead to a TOC in an article becoming outdated as the article is altered but the template is not. Automatically omitting unused letters could make navigation clearer, while still allowing for alterations and overide through Compact TOC's other functions.
 * Template:Mainw: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Cat main (notified); notified 13:00, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – Ambiguous and confusing. Could easily be confused with Main and I replaced an instance of it being used that way in an article. Not sure what the w is supposed to mean.
 * Template:Dabpage: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Hatnote (notified) 12:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete – Ambiguous unused redirect. Could easily be confused for Disambiguation, the template for dab pages. It was created as an alternative name for dablink, the former name of Hatnote, but the name is no longer useful.
 * Template:Infobox Small, Medium, or Large Lump of Rock, Gas, or Ice, possibly Spherical, that May (or May Not) be a Planet: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Infobox planet (notified); notified 05:25, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Delete implausible redirect. Clearly an in-joke but the page doesn't actually need to exist.
 * Category:Letter-number combination disambiguation pages: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Letter–number combination disambiguation pages 11:16, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: per MOS:DASH. Populating template was renamed.
 * Template:Infobox comic: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:Infobox comic book title; notified 13:10, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Covering the same ground. Infobox comic book title is more widely used and is used on prominent articles such as Action Comics 1.

November 2023

 * Talk:Tartarian Empire (conspiracy theory): nominated at RM; New name: Tartarian Empire 01:44, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Tartarian Empire existed as a redirect to Tartary before this article was created. This article should really have replaced the redirect rather than creating a new page. The disambiguation is unnecessary.
