 * The result of the discussion was: delete and copied content to talk page of . Marcocapelle (talk) 04:20, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting list of medical schools in south korea


 * Nominator's rationale: Unwitting duplicate of Le Deluge (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete – it's a list article, not a category. Oculi (talk) 00:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a list article in category space.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:23, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Before losing potential valuable information, can someone please add the list items documented in this category (as a list) to Category:Schools of medicine in South Korea. Thanks, Ottawahitech (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2016 (UTC)please ping me
 * With one exception, the list is of university articles so wouldn't belong there unless there was an article on the medical department. Perhaps on the Talk page of that category? Le Deluge (talk) 14:07, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Convert to article -- As stated this is a list article in category space. Unless there is already a list this should survive as an article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Humor websites into Category:Comedy websites
 * Nominator's rationale: Or is there a difference between these two categories? The description of Category:Comedy websites even says "Categorization of articles about web sites of a predominantly humorous nature." Fixuture (talk) 22:42, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * oppose', cleanup. comedy is not the same as humor. In fact, I vaguely remember there was splitting of categories named "Comedy and humor ". - üser:Altenmann >t 06:01, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Persian Gulf Studies

 * 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 to Category:Middle Eastern studies. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Persian Gulf Studies to Category:Persian Gulf studies
 * Nominator's rationale: Correct capitalisation (e.g. as per Category:Iranian studies). Deletion could also be considered. DexDor(talk) 18:07, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Rename if Kept Compare to Women's studies: even though the phrase might get capitalized as part of an academic department or journal name, the "studies" is not part of a formal noun. I tried to improve the category but, without a main article, it's hard for me to know if this is a viable sub-category of Middle Eastern studies or just a WP:SHAREDNAME issue. RevelationDirect (talk) 20:37, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Without a head article we lack sourcing to show this is a defining thing. It is unclear whether the subject is the gulf itself or the region around the gulf. One of the subject institutions seems to be studying all of Iran, plus whatever exactly is encompassed in studying the gulf itself.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Rename if kept. Nevertheless there is a lot to be said for upmerging to Category:Middle East studies, provided that we accept that Iran is part of Middle East.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Methods in sociology

 * The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:16, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Methods in sociology into Category:Social science methodology
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, the content of this category is mostly about social sciences, so the scope of the two categories is substantially overlapping. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:58, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Sociology is one of the social sciences; there are others, and there will probably be an overlap between them. Unless you can positively say that all the content is applicable to the social sciences generally, this should not be merged.  I lack the expertise to judge.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a reasonable objection. Withdraw nomination. Instead I've moved articles to Category:Social science methodology individually, if applicable. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Works about the history of economic thought

 * 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. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:13, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Works about the history of economic thought into Category:History of economic thought
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge, this is an unnecessary category layer. (Note that there is no upmerge needed to the two other parents, since they both already contain a books category.) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:06, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Upmerge – another venture into the mysterious world of Stefanomione's category space. 'Works by work', 'Works by intuition', 'Works by sense of smell'. Oculi (talk) 18:07, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Category: Works by work, Category: Works by intuition,  Category: Works by sense of smell? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)please ping me
 * I suppose Oculi's comment was meant as sarcasm, but Category:Works based on works has actually been created by Stefanomione. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:35, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding user:Marcocapelle, not sure why the sarcasm by User:Oculi (if this is what it is?):
 * Category:Books based on works was created by user:Jc37
 * Category:Works based on comics was created by User:Hiding
 * Category:Novels based on films was created by User:Kbdankbot
 * Category:Lists of works based on books was created by User: Fayenatic london
 * Category:Comics based on films was created by User:Emperor in 2007
 * What's wrong with User:Stefanomione creating Category:Works based on works  to house these cats? Ottawahitech (talk) 00:40, 11 August 2016 (UTC)please ping me
 * We're getting distracted too much. If there should be a discussion about Category:Works based on works then at least in a separate nomination. We're currently discussing Category:Works about the history of economic thought. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. The only content is "books about ...".  While in theory there might be other kinds of work, such as "articles about ...", we are in fact unlikely to get such.  The alternative might be to Keep this and merge the books into this.  We certainly do not need both.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:01, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Category:Books about the history of economic thought‎ as an entry in Category:History of economic thought is sufficient. Jason from nyc (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:History of economic thought, methodology, and heterodox approaches

 * 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. (non-admin closure) SST  flyer  08:16, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:History of economic thought, methodology, and heterodox approaches into Category:Economics
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge, as a unnecessary category level, combining two relatively unrelated topics. (In previous discussions we have debated about whether the categories should be maintained according to JEL classification codes, but at this level of the Wikipedia category tree we do not have any other JEL-based categories anyway, so I don't think that would be a relevant argument here.) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. DexDor(talk) 06:21, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Oklahoma Hall of Fame

 * 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. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:30, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Oklahoma Hall of Fame
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * The Oklahoma Hall of Fame has inducted 669 people and has an exhibit with a room of the Gaylord-Pickens Museum in Oklahoma City (source). There is a catch 22 with many local awards: either you'r not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article or your famous enough that this award is not defining which is why we don't have any other general state Halls of Fame left. (We deleted the South Dakota one here.) All the inductees are already included in the Oklahoma category tree: T. Boone Pickens is already in the OK buisnesspeople cat, David Boren is in the OK Governors cat and Barry Switzer is in the U of O Football Coaches cat. If we decide to delete this category, the winners are already listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Scanlan as the category creator and this discussion has been included in WikiProject Oklahoma. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Related CFD Nomination There is an open nomination for "Category:Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame" right here. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete we have a good list at the article on this hall of fame, and looking at it, being placed in this hall of fame is not a defining characteristic of the people so involved.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:27, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:College Football Hall of Fame balloting

 * 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. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 12:13, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Upmerging Category:College Football Hall of Fame balloting to Category:College Football Hall of Fame
 * Nominator's rationale: Per my interpretation of WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OC generally
 * The only article in this category, 2007 College Football Hall of Fame ballot, is about the Hall of Fame inductees from that year. We have a lot of annual award subcategories, like the Category:Academy Awards ceremonies, so I don't have a conceptual problem with this category but in practice only 1 article has appeared since 2007 so the subcategory doesn't aid navigation in the near term. No objection to recreating it later if the article count grows to 5 or so, although I would prefer a alernate name. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Jweiss11 as the category creator and this discussion has been included in WikiProject American football. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Related RM Nomination I submitted a Move Request to rename the article from 2007 College Football Hall of Fame ballot to 2007 College Football Hall of Fame inductees right here. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The Requested Move was successful. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:24, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge There is no reason for a one article category here. Even if kept, I think we would need a different name.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:32, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
