 * Comment it is concerning that these categories have been deleted with reference to past decisions to listify the categories and then a proponent of deleting the categories is proposing to delete the lists. Jahaza (talk) 22:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Which past decisions to listify? I am unaware of any. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This one you linked to on Categories for Discussion. Jahaza (talk) 03:39, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't see that because The result of the discussion was: Delete. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:05, 24 June 2010. It didn't say "listify". Thanks for pointing it out. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:59, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG, multiple sources discussing award are now added to article. Side note, this region is much larger than the ones listed as precedents. &mdash;siro&chi;o 07:05, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Followup note, forgot to mention that it meets WP:NLIST as the group is discussed as such in those sources as well. &mdash;siro&chi;o 22:41, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. Why don't we move this to Schleswig-Holstein as a section? Suitskvarts (talk) 06:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be acceptable for me. It is no longer unsourced, but I don't think it's enough for a standalone article. What do you think about merging to Schleswig-Holstein? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:40, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * This would be an acceptable outcome, as the main article is around 5000 words or so, still "readable prose size". That article has a lot of links out to sub-articles already, so it may also not be necessary to merge. &mdash;siro&chi;o 06:17, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Update Category:Honorary citizens closed as Delete (all). List of honorary citizens of Zwolle closed as Redirect to Zwolle. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:42, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Nederlandse Leeuw, it's not clear to me what you are advising be done with this particular article. Liz Read! Talk! 04:54, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Liz I advise a merger to Schleswig-Holstein (per Suitskvarts and with the consent of Siroxo), making this page a redirect to a section in that article (per the Zwolle precedent). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 11:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Terrible choice. No really, how is being an honorary citizen less defining or notable for a person than recieving an award (which we have tons of categories for)?★Trekker (talk) 19:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It depends what kinds of awards. Some awards are WP:NONDEFINING per WP:OCAWARD. Category:Honorary citizens and its various subcategories have been deleted again and again because they are not considered defining enough. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 03:28, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
