 * The result of the discussion was: Delete, sole keep was unexplained. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:30, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * colombian ecological attractions


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. "Ecological attractions" is difficult to define and the parent category of Category:Visitor attractions in Colombia is sufficient to contain the contents. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Kylekieran (talk) 12:07, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Government-owned companies in Trinidad and Tobago. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * government companies of trinidad and tobago


 * Nominator's rationale: Overly trivial intersection, only 3 entries, not likely to expand. Not sure what a "government company" is, as the term doesn't have an article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Government-owned companies in Trinidad and Tobago, convention of Category:Government-owned companies by country.- choster (talk) 21:42, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename per choster. Category:Government-owned companies by country is an accepted category structure as permitted by WP:SMALLCAT, even if we only have a few articles. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:16, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Government-owned companies in Trinidad and Tobago, convention of Category:Government-owned companies by country. It ok to Rename. Kylekieran (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Rename as above. Neutralitytalk 04:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:40, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * songs written by bill trader


 * Nominator's rationale: Only one entry. Bill Trader doesn't have an article and a search shows that "A Fool Such as I" is literally the only song he wrote. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 11:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Category:Environmental issues with food

 * 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. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Environmental issues with food to Category:Food and the environment
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Two similar categories, no clue how they are supposed to be different or relate to one another, or how to differently categorize articles. 174.46.210.30 (talk) 02:46, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment This is part of a more general overlap between Category:Environment by sector and Category:Environmental issues, the latter scope to "negative effects of human activity on the human health and on the environment" and the former presumably being more general, including general theories, observations, and articles on benign effects. Whether such a distinction can really be made is outside my expertise. I don't understand why Green Car Congress is listed directly in Category:Energy and the environment, but Concerto Initiative is classified as Category:Environmental issues with energy.- choster (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I have recategorised the two articles mentioned. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 02:29, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The former is about issues and the latter is about anything else. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 02:29, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * But how does one distinguish between the two? Carbon footprint isn't an "issue"?- choster (talk) 14:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Ambiguity is terrible in categories. Neutralitytalk 04:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. It's not clear at all to me what is an "issue" and what is something else. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:04, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
