 * The result of the discussion was: delete . – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:22, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting segesta


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:SMALLCAT. The two articles in the category already refer to each other in the body text so a category doesn't add any value here. Very similar to the Motya nomination below. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:1000 Guineas to Category:1000 Guineas Stakes
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Renominate as a full discussion to reflect newly moved main article. This started as a speedy to move to Category:1,000 Guineas Stakes.   Vegaswikian (talk) 22:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:History of Roman Britain‎

 * 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: merge . – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:13, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging Category:History of Roman Britain to Category:Roman Britain
 * Nominator's rationale: The nominated category only contains one child category so the current structure does not aid navigation. The nomination is also kind of C2C because none of Roman Britain's sister categories in Category:Provinces of the Roman Empire have a separate History child category (which makes sense because these categories are historical by nature). While nearly every former country has a separate History child category, it seems like unnecessary to impose that same structure on former provinces.

Category:Near East‎

 * 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: no consensus. MER-C 07:53, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging Category:Near East to Category:Middle East
 * Nominator's rationale: Per Near East, the term Middle East has meanwhile replaced the term Near East. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose Near East is the historical term for the area in ancient times, Middle East the modern one. The category contents reflect this, and it would be a very bad idea to mix them up. One might rename to "Ancient Middle East", but since "Near East" remains the normal term in archaeology etc, what would be the point? Johnbod (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * do not change Category:Near East has its very own main article Near East and content. It is an historical term; change would be ahistoric.  Hmains (talk) 17:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How do you envisage the relationship between Category:History of the Middle East and Category:Near East? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 7 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge Although I have to say both terms reflect an overabundance of Euro-centricism.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:59, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The opening of the article on Near East is Near East (French: Proche-Orient) is a eurocentric geographical term that roughly encompasses Western Asia.  This may suggest we should rename both to Category:Western Asia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:45, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Interesting comment! I think a problem here is that Middle East is used much more often as a term to describe the region than West Asia. Perhaps we should merge West Asia to Middle East? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:31, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * That would be to increase the level of Euro-centricism in Wikipedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:52, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting motya


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:SMALLCAT. The two articles in the category already refer to each other in the body text so a category doesn't add any value here. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:38, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Privatization in Germany

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:06, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting privatization in germany


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Recent good faith creation, but this cat is unlikely to get filled (WP:SMALLCAT) - privatization isn't such a big topic in Germany, except once with the German re-unification. Only entry Treuhandanstalt has already several good cats, e.g. Category:Economy of East Germany. Some countries use a "Privatization in Foo" category, some don't - so there seems to be no standard scheme for that cat. GermanJoe (talk) 01:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Category:Ethnic Armenian film directors

 * 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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:27, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting ethnic armenian film directors


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Non-WP:DEFINING intersection of an occupation with an ethnicity that has no bearing on that occupation — there's no evidence here that having Armenian ethnicity is of any special contextual relevance to film directors who aren't personally from Armenia. Only content, further, is an "American film directors of Armenian descent" subcategory which is also up for deletion for the same non-defining reason; if that gets deleted, this will become an empty category. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete unmaintainable ethnic category, ultimately undefining. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
