 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting recipients of the george van biesbroeck prize


 * Nominator's rationale: As usual with award recipients categories a list (at George Van Biesbroeck Prize) is a much better way of presenting this information than a category (the list can include people who don't have a wp article, it can be arranged in date order, it can be cited, it can be watchlisted etc). Currently there is only one article in this category and that article is in the appropriate nationality-occupation category which is a WP:DEFINING characteristic of that person. See also WP:OC.

 * Delete Not a person-defining prize. SFB 19:26, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep ... categories are the main way Wikidata gains information about awards.. Not lists. Wikidata knows about humans that have been awarded and do not have an article either.. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 04:29, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Really? - can you point to anything at Wikidata that supports that? Info in Wikidata should be cited and hence infoboxes/lists are a more suitable source of data - e.g. see WikiProject_Lists. DexDor (talk) 06:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete – not a defining characteristic, would not be mentioned in a 100-word obituary. Oculi (talk) 09:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Another non-defining award.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:41, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete applying WP:OC. I have to say this far too often!  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:48, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:50, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Shopping malls in Lucas County, Ohio to Category:Shopping malls in the Toledo, Ohio metro area
 * Nominator's rationale: To include Woodville Mall, the mall in Bowling Green if it gets an article, and any others that are in metro Toledo but not Lucas County. Rename will bring category in line with other subcategories of Category:Shopping malls in the United States by metro area.

 * No objection (as category's creator). I made this and a few others to expand the tree of US shopping malls by county after Categories for discussion/Log/2012 September 14. – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:10, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:Polyester sculptures

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:43, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Propose Upmerging Category:Polyester sculptures into Category:Fabric sculptures
 * Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. There is 1 article in Category:Polyester sculptures and the parent category, Category:Fabric sculptures, only has 5 articles. Being made of fabric is certainly defining because it allows for more ethereal sculptures but I'm not sure dividing such a small category into cotton/acetate/polyester is warranted.

 * Delete very small category that is not required as the parent itself is already very small. This adds little to navigation. SFB 19:27, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Upmege per nom (which is not the same as 'delete'). Oculi (talk) 14:07, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
