 * The result of the discussion was: Upmerge (NAC). DexDor (talk) 05:40, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Tidal power stations in Europe to Category:Tidal power stations
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. I'm not convinced that the thinly populated parent needs to be split out by continent which basically hinders navigation. By continent categories should be limited to major geography features and not structures. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:53, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. Is Russia in Europe or Asia? Vegaswikian (talk) 20:55, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Dunno for sure but I once remembered reading that East of Urals being considered Asia Russia....William 11:37, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * So the Russia category only being in Europe is technically incorrect. Another reason to upmerge. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:17, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Upmerge now, then create Category:Tidal power stations by country, similar to other type of power stations categories to apply the same categorization system. Beagel (talk) 13:19, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support - I think the whole tree could be easily upmerged to the parent as there are so few articles. SFB 19:45, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: double upmerge. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:33, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Ice hockey people from Markham, Ontario to Category:Sportspeople from Markham, Ontario

 * Category:Ice hockey people from Oakville, Ontario to Category:Sportspeople from Oakville, Ontario
 * Nominator's rationale: As per previous CFDs and this one, we don't subcategorize per what type of athlete a person is. Also propose upmerge to ice hockey people from Ontario. ...William 20:35, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Support All But they definitely have to be upmerged to the Ice hockey people from Ontario category where they originally came from as well. -DJSasso (talk) 15:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support all per Sasso. Steam5 (talk) 22:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per my previous reasoning. I also think it bad practice to have single category containers like Category:Sportspeople from Kenora. SFB 07:49, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Upmerge -- Contrary to nom, we SHOULD retain a category by sport, but at a higher level than this fragmentation split. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose -, which these would need to be upmerged to, is too oversized. I've initiated a discussion at Category talk:Ice hockey people from Ontario. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:38, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Not all categories need to be split. There will be very large categories, categories are only supposed to be split if the resulting sub categories are sufficiently defining still. In this particular cat branch this is as far as you can split, any farther and you are no longer defining. -DJSasso (talk) 03:09, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not split by position instead to make the tree more manageable? Position played is much more relevant than town of birth. SFB


 * Support All per DJSasso. It's a slippery slope ... Rikster2 (talk) 14:14, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support all. Overly specific categorization. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:54, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus, so I will implement the category text suggested by SFB. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:01, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting american burglars


 * Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:BLPCAT with questionable additions, fork of Category:American people convicted of burglary Delete Secret account 18:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * SupportReawaken (talk) 23:33, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * keep as is. The convictions category is all well and good but deleting this category leaves no place for people documented as self-admitting to be burglars but who died or otherwise were not convicted of same or for people who have no BLP issues as they lived and died some time ago. Hmains (talk) 02:01, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support -- There are BLP (i.e. libel) issues over categorising unconvicted living burglars. In English law (not sure about other jurisdictions), libel is only availble to living people, but I think we should still be wary about having any category for self-confessed but unconvicted criminals.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:26, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Hmains reasoning, but add category text to denote that those categorised as such should be convicted of burglary or self-admitted. SFB 19:50, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename.  Note, I'm not fixing the pending rename of the realistic parent from the old close. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Proposed railroads in California to Category:Proposed railway lines in California
 * Propose renaming Category:Proposed railroads in Minnesota to Category:Proposed railway lines in Minnesota
 * Propose renaming Category:Proposed railroads in Missouri to Category:Proposed railway lines in Missouri
 * Propose renaming Category:Proposed railroads in New Jersey to Category:Proposed railway lines in New Jersey
 * Propose renaming Category:Proposed railroads in New York to Category:Proposed railway lines in New York
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per renaming of the parent category,, per Categories for discussion/Log/2014 July 10. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Support -- However the merger of appears not to have eben implemented, despite the CFD being closed.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:29, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:11, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
