 * The result of the discussion was: upmerge. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People from Verona, Mississippi to Category:People from Lee County, Mississippi
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one county community with just 2 entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:42, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Upmerge I'm surprised a town with 3,000 residents has 2 notable people. No objection to recreating though if it ever gets up to 5 or so articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:56, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom. kennethaw88 • talk 03:48, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Upmerge per nom. Every small town does not automatically get one of these the moment one or two people from that town have articles — such a category is not created until the number of people who can be filed in it already overtops WP:SMALLCAT right at the outset.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:36, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Reference Desk Archives to Category:Wikipedia Reference Desk archive
 * Nominator's rationale: The category names do not indicate any difference between them. After the merge we could create subcategories such as Category:Wikipedia Reference Desk archive (mathematics). DexDor(talk) 06:07, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Fictional Mediterranean people
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING and WP:SUBJECTIVECAT
 * There is no real world Category:Mediterranean people category and the Mediterranean race article has multiple definitions. Now, I'm open to fictional-only categories when there are unique topics (cyborgs, mad scientists, etc.) but I'm not seeing a clear fictional thread holding this together.  Grouping French Canadian superhero, an Egyptian mummy, a Greek Australian merchant and an Italian American organized crime boss into a container category seems unlikely to aid navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Dietic as the category creator and this discussion has been included in WikiProject Ethnic groups. – RevelationDirect (talk) 03:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. WP:NONDEFINING with no function other than to act as a catch-all for obscure WP:OSE. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete grouping fictional people by what bodies of water the countries touch is not a constructive addition to the body of knowledge, nor useful in its organization. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- We normally split by continent not the littoral of seas. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:14, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect -- The term "Mediterranean race" is too outdated why don't we divided them into the continents instead. GoldenRainbow (talk) 00:12, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
