 * The result of the discussion was: delete. I have added two pages into Category:Media of Odisha. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting literature of kosala


 * Nominator's rationale: As discussed in Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_57, the category does not have any articles related to Kosala, but all to modern Odisha.-- Shiti (talk) 19:32, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I support the deletion Kosala was an ancient place which doesn't exist anymore. So it is bias if some people say themselves as people of kosala or something like that. -- Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 07:12, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale; per Category:Communist parties in Basque Country and Category:Political parties in Basque Country. Charles Essie (talk) 21:28, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Reverse rename per Basque Country (autonomous community) (i.e. the Basque Country). SFB 00:59, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as current and non-defining, per my comments on the Turkish category yesterday. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:31, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename Category:Banned political parties in the Basque Country - correct capitialisation and Category:Communist parties in the Basque Country and Category:Political parties in the Basque Country to match. Peterkingiron (talk)
 * That works for me. Charles Essie (talk) 22:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose to the original request, but agree to Peterkingiron's alternative proposal per SFB's argument. --PanchoS (talk) 17:49, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to  Category:Fictional people by state in the United States. – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional American people by state to Category:Fictional American people by states and territories in the United States or Category:Fictional characters by states and territories in the United States.
 * Nominator's rationale: consistent with subcategories and Category:People by state in the United States. --76.175.67.121 (talk) 18:16, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Support Clearly delineates the category purpose. SFB 00:59, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Fictional people by state in the United States. I don't think we need American in the name if we mention the US.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:26, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename per JPL. We do not need US in the title twice.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Fictional characters by states and territories in the United States. Allows leeway for existing territories and former/proposed states. There many characters from period-themed stories where these states are very different or do not yet exist. --173.55.119.156 (talk) 05:32, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Electric Masada albums to Category:Masada (band) albums
 * Nominator's rationale: Electric Masada is just a redirect to Masada (band). —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:22, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Mixed by is not the same as by. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:DT8 Project albums to Category:Darren Tate albums
 * Nominator's rationale: Per main article: Darren Tate/DT8 Project —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep – The album is by DT8 Project. It would be helpful if the nom could refer to a previous consensus at cfd to categorise albums by an external criterion (namely Wikipedia's arbitrary choice of redirects) rather than by the name on the sleeve. Oculi (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Or delete per Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars below. Oculi (talk) 09:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. The lone article in the category isn't even for a DT8 Project album, but a various artist compilation album mixed by the artist. If that's a defining characteristic of this and other albums (such as those in the Fabric series), perhaps a new category scheme of "Albums mixed by Foo" should be created. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:08, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:People from Cranesville, Pennsylvania to Category:People from Erie County, Pennsylvania
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one county community with only one entry. ...William 01:33, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Category:Trials with corporate defendants

 * 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: Delete. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting trials with corporate defendants


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. This is kind of a crazy category—a huge percentage of trials have corporate defendants. The category is nowhere close to being "fully populated"; if it were, there would likely be tens of thousands of articles in it. I can't see how this is a defining characteristic of the trials and cases that are categorized here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom.  -Fim atic   (talk &#124; contribs) 00:53, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * keep or up merge to its parent Category:Case law by party or put into other such trial by party subcats. Nomination assertion has no obvious basis in fact.  Most trials certainly do not involve corporations; they involve other business entities, individuals, criminal prosecutions, and no on Hmains (talk) 05:01, 4 December 2014 (UTC).
 * I didn't say most trials, I said a "huge percentage", which is indeed the case. I suggest you take a look at the contents of in detail to try to get an idea of the number of articles we're talking about here. I've seen thousands of these over the past 24 hours alone. In any case: what is the point of this category? Why would we want to group together all cases with corporate defendants, regardless of whether they are cases in tort, contract, tax, criminal, property, or something else? And why only defendants? Why not plaintiffs, appellants, or respondents? Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Bodies corporate being sued is far too common to merit a category. Corporate manslaughter cases would be an exception, but I expect we have a categopry for that already.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:48, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete -- categorizing trials by the characteristics of a party plaintiff or party defendant seems trivial Category:Trials with municipal defendants, Category:Trials with people of Fooian descent defendants, Category:Trials with living people defendants all come to mind on the way we categorize things here.... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Most st of these are about an appeal where you would have a appellant and a respondent.RevelationDirect (talk) 01:26, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
