 * The result of the discussion was: reverse merge to Category:The X-Files (franchise). – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:The X-Files (franchise) to Category:The X-Files
 * Nominator's rationale: These two categories are more or less about the same thing. I think this is an example of WP:FORK. Charles Essie (talk) 21:53, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Mergeto Category:The X-Files (franchise) to match the main article The X-Files (franchise), which is the parent article for all X-Files topics -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 07:01, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The X-Files (franchise): The X-Files (TV series); The X-Files (TV miniseries); The X-Files: Fight the Future (movie); The X-Files: I Want to Believe (movie); Millennium (TV series); The Lone Gunmen (TV series); -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 07:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment it would have been easier to restrict scope of "X-Files" if the TV series category where actually named sensibly, say as "X-Files (TV series)" instead of "X-Files" which ends up collecting all sorts of junk that should be in the franchise category instead. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 04:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge or reverse merge and merge into the target all the subcats. My rule is "one frnachise: one category".  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:30, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If we are going to merge, what title should we use, Category:The X-Files or Category:The X-Files (franchise)? Charles Essie (talk) 15:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:The X-Files. I think the disambiguator is unnecessary in the category name since it will likely not be subcategorized by franchise element. —&#8288;烏&#8288;Γ (kaw) │ 07:35, 03 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If we're going to merge, merge to Category:The X-Files (franchise), which is the broader of the two categories. Category:The X-Files is (or should be) about The X-Files, which is about the TV program only. Much of the content which is in Category:The X-Files should in fact be in Category:The X-Files (franchise). Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:51, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * merge to Category:The X-Files (franchise) due to its wider scope. Dimadick (talk) 10:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Category:Unofficial Football World Championships

 * 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. If users decide that Unofficial Football World Championships does not belong in the target category, it can be removed from it. Merging this single-item category does not create any new problem that didn't already exist with the nominated category being in the target category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:04, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Unofficial Football World Championships to Category:International association football competitions
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge single article from eponymous category, per WP:SMALLCAT, little potential for growth. Tassedethe (talk) 20:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose - the Unofficial Football World Championships is not a competition, rather it is a theoretical way of tracking how the World Championship would change hands if it was contested on a challenge system like in boxing. It only exists on paper..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:24, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * By that token if the article shouldn't be in the category Category:International association football competitions then neither should the category. Perhaps upmerge even further to Category:Association football or a better subcat (Category:Association football culture?) Tassedethe (talk) 19:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge -- As I read the article I had a feeling that the article is in the nature of WP:OR, but it is OR by a named journalist, not a WP editor.  Whether this merits an article may be questionable, but this is a CFD discussion, not AFD.  While the article exists, it needs a category.  We do not like one-article cats, so the solution must be to merge.  On the other hand I would not oppose a merge to either of Tassedethe's suggested targets.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:37, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging Category:Spanish variants of Africa to Category:Spanish variants
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in this category. There is no need to merge to an African category, since the one article has already been categorized in Category:Languages of Equatorial Guinea. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:49, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Canarian Spanish also belongs in this category and there may be potential for two more articles in the future (1, 2). I'll defer to others whether that's enough to keep. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom. Neutralitytalk 21:28, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:45, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting Category:Centuries in New Netherland‎
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in New Netherland by century‎
 * Propose merging Category:17th century in New Netherland to Category:History of New Netherland by period
 * Propose deleting Category:Millennia in New Netherland‎
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in New Netherland by millennium‎
 * Propose deleting Category:2nd millennium in New Netherland‎
 * Propose deleting Category:2nd-millennium establishments in New Netherland‎
 * Nominator's rationale: delete/merge, there is no point in splitting a colonial territory by millennium or century while it has only existed for a couple of decades. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Wholeheartedly concur What a waste of bytes. Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Johnbod (talk) 15:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- It did not last long enough to need any of these categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:31, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete all per nom. Upmerge to Category:New Netherland and whatever other cats may be appropriate. Neutralitytalk
