 * The result of the discussion was: rename. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:34, 17 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:American football club matches to Category:American soccer club matches
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. I created the "soccer" category not knowing that a "football" category existed. In any event, the "football" category should be merged into the "soccer" category. The sport in question is known as "soccer" in the United States; the category change meets speedy criterion C2C. The main category and main article for association football in the States are both known as "Soccer in the United States". Similarly, the articles for the men's and women's national teams, as well as all age-grade teams, use "soccer". — Dale Arnett (talk) 19:06, 7 December 2013 (UTC)


 * REname per nom. In the US context "football" means American football, so that the prent title is highly misleading.  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:25, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Bonspiels to Category:Curling competitions
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to . Bonspiel is a type of the tournaments, but no categorization by round-robin tournaments in football or by play-off structure in ice hockey. NickSt (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree there should be one category, but is it possible that "bonspiel" is the correct home for all curling tournaments. it isn't really a subset of all curling tournaments, it is the name for a tournament in the sport of curling.  Canada Hky (talk) 13:47, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed, bonspiel = curling competition. I oppose any move, as it would be redundant. -- Earl Andrew - talk 15:00, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The proposal is talking about merging the two categories, not moving them. I think there should be one category (agree with the merge), but I think there should be discussion about what the top level is for curling.  Canada Hky (talk) 20:00, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * CommentIf the categories are merged then the title should be Category:Bonspiels because that is the proper term for a curling competition. Even at the 2013 Roar of the Rings the curlers were referring to the competition as a bonspiel.--MorrisIV (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Reverse merge the term is "bonspiel"; Same reason why they are tennis matches and not games, and tennis games and not rounds, and tennis sets and not periods. -- 65.94.78.9 (talk) 04:17, 12 December 2013 (UTC)*
 * Oppose. Bonspiel is the terms for an individual event. Curling Competitions seems to have tours - competitions that cannot be classified as bonspiels - as the only direct contents. There seems to be a pragmatic distinction between them, not to mention that "bonspiel" is correct terminology. VanIsaacWS Vexcontribs 20:36, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge or reverse merge, since we seem to be agreed they are much the same thing. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:26, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:New Siberian Islands. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:37, 17 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting islands of the new siberian islands


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. A rather bizzare WP:OVERCAT, all content can be relocated to Category:New Siberian Islands without need to double click (as people expect to find the islands in the latter category). Brandmeistertalk  14:06, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator....William 14:57, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Empty then delete -- A check needs to be made that all the contnets are already in Category:New Siberian Islands or one of its subcategories before deletion is undertaken. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:30, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting tlot tlot


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Just another minimally populated eponymous category with articles already contained in more appropriate topic categories with only a hatnote link needed to connect them. WP:OC. Categories like this have been deleted time and time again in CfD so there is plenty of precedent. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 03:14, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
