 * The result of the discussion was: rename. —  ξ xplicit  05:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Songs written by Michael J. Leeson to Category:Songs written by Mike Leeson
 * Nominator's rationale: This seems to be a good-faith mixup between Michael J. Leeson (screenwriter) and Michael D. Leeson (songwriter) - see also the category's talkpage for more details. Best evidence for an error is this Discogs discography. As Michael D. Leeson is commonly known as Mike Leeson, the category should be moved back to its original name.

 * If you are right, the present category should be salted, to prevent the same error being repeated. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about adding a "not to be confused" notice on top of the then-renamed category, with a brief explanation of the situation. GermanJoe (talk) 03:38, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * The New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal was given out to 3,632 people in 1990 to celebrate the anniversary of New Zealand, which is more than 1 award per every 1,000 residents for the entire country. According to the article, recipients "were selected in recognition of the contribution they have made to some aspect of New Zealand life" and I haven't found a more specific criteria. None of these people had anything to do with establishing New Zealand so the medal doesn't seem defining and these people have very little in common with each other, except being residents of New Zealand in 1990. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Asalrifai as the category creator and this discussion has been included in the New Zealand Notice Board. – RevelationDirect (talk) 03:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Background We deleted a nearly identical Canadian anniversary medal here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Listify. Would make more sense as a list than a category. Grutness...wha?  23:00, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this award is not defining to its recipients.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete and reparent (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 11:01, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Honorary medals of Brunei
 * Propose Deleting Category:Pingat Hassanal Bolkiah Sultan - Darjah Pertama
 * Propose Reparenting the Pingat Hassanal Bolkiah Sultan article up to Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Brunei to avoid orphaning it
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * Being a member of the Brunei's royal family is absolutely defining which why we already have Category:Bruneian royalty. Very little information is available on this award but the only two articles in the category are members of the royal family who are already in that royalty category. This doesn't seem defining and is redundant.
 * There are no other contents under the Honorary Medals category and, if we decide to delete this category, the recipients are already listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: I notified Mimich as the category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Brunei. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Background We deleted automatic awards to monarch categories for Malaysia and Netherlands here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
