 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Vital articles to Category:Wikipedia vital articles
 * Nominator's rationale: This category is about the Wikipedia articles, not their content, so it should have "Wikipedia" at the fromt of the name. Additionally, the rest of the tree uses "Wikipedia" in the name. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:35, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I support this renaming, since it seems easier than changing the names of all the sub-categories. Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:07, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Support per nom.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:05, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: relisted at Categories for discussion/Log/2014 July 23. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:33, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Mayors of Sligo to Category:Mayors of Sligo (town)
 * Nominator's rationale: Opposed speedy. This is a sub-category of, and therefore should use that name instead of the ambiguous Sligo (as can be seen at .) Armbrust The Homunculus 06:37, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Category:Mayors of Sligo to Category:Mayors of Sligo (town) – C2C: per . Armbrust The Homunculus 12:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Object As Sligo County Council does not have a mayor, it has a Cathaoirleach, this title is not ambiguous, the move would create unnecessary precision, at the very least this need further discussion among people with Irish affairs. PatGallacher (talk) 13:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. The Sligos in Ireland are not the only consideration. There are other places in the world called "Sligo", some of which may have mayors: see Sligo (disambiguation). Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:08, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply We have categories like "Mayors of Moscow" even though the Russian city is not the only place of this name. PatGallacher (talk) 19:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * In the abstract, I would not be opposed to using Category:Mayors of Sligo. However, I am opposed to the category being in a different format than its immediate parents, which are and .  is formatted how it is because we have  and . The way to change a format is to propose changing the format, not to create subcategories that use a different one. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Should we have this (and equivalent Kilkenny) category at all? Are they Executive mayors or merely chairman of the council.  In England, such mayors would fail WP:POLITICIAN and the articles would be deleted unless they were notable for other reasons, which would apply to two of the 3 articles in the category now.

 * The result of the discussion was: relisted at Categories for discussion/Log/2014 July 23. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:37, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Mayors of Kilkenny to Category:Mayors of Kilkenny (city)
 * Nominator's rationale: Oppose speedy. This is a sub-category of, and therefore should use that name instead of the ambiguous Killkenny (as can be seen at .) Armbrust The Homunculus 06:31, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Category:Mayors of Kilkenny to Category:Mayors of Kilkenny (city) – C2C: per . Armbrust The Homunculus 12:50, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Object Same as Sligo above. PatGallacher (talk) 13:09, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The Kilkennys in Ireland are not the only consideration. There are other places int he world called "Kilkenny", some of which may have mayors: see Kilkenny (disambiguation). One of these other places is a "city" (though a very small one), so "(city)" may be a particularly bad disambiguator in these cases. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:08, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The article is Mayor of Kilkenny, so if this is moved according to C2C it should be moved back according to C2D, There's also a more relevant category tree, Category:Mayors of places in the Republic of Ireland, which is inconsistent. Peter James (talk) 22:18, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be a situation where there would be a conflict between what C2C suggests and what C2D suggests. Which would typically mean that a full discussion on the issue should be had. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:43, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:St. Louis City, Missouri geography stubs to Category:St. Louis, Missouri geography stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: All other titles regarding the city are "St. Louis, Missouri", not "St. Louis City, Missouri". עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy Rename Clear existing naming convention. RevelationDirect (talk) 04:31, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Airport railway stations in the United Kingdom. – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:42, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Railway stations serving London airports to Category:Rail transport stations in London
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Serving is subjective and the introduction says in the 'region around London' which is horribly imprecise. There is a related discussion here. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:29, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually after thinging about this, changing recommendation to Delete since not all of the stations are actually in London. The articles are already categorized by location in other rail categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge to parent Category:Airport railway stations in the United Kingdom.  I do not think the nom's proposal will do at all; as he says many are not in London,  The airport serve London and the stations serve the airports.  Several a dedicated to this.  Others may have less strong links.  However, I am not sure the nom knows enough about the subject to be able to judge.  I am similarly careful not to vote on issues relating to Nevada, about which I do not know.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:38, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * oppose although I would not oppose the upmerge proposed by Peterkingiron. UK rail station categorization tends (IMAmericanO) to get a bit fannish, but if one thinks that "stations at airports" is a viable category at all, there's something to be said for separating out the stations which serve those airports which serve London, given that they constitute something around a quarter of the larger category. Otherwise either the whole larger category needs to go anyway, or this cat should be upmerged per PKI. Mangoe (talk) 12:29, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge to because that is a container cat. See my explanation at Categories for discussion/Log/2014 June 25. -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:57, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * So you are OK with my revised delete? Vegaswikian (talk) 17:17, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I am always reluctant to delete, where merger to parent will do the job, as well. If you think my target should be deleted, that would need a separate nom. However, I feel my target is a worthwhile category. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:34, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * If the decision is to merge, yes that would be a better target. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:16, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose There are 11 articles in the category, which is also a subcategory of Category:Airport rail links in London, which the upmerge will lose. And there is no ambiguity about the airports to be included, as they will be in Category:Airports in the London region, some of which are outside Greater London. Hugo999 (talk) 14:14, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support alternative merge proposal to Category:Airport railway stations in the United Kingdom. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
