 * The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure)  f  eminist  02:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Animal Institute to Category:Animal research institutes
 * Nominator's rationale: "Animal Institute" does not make any sense. I'm not sure if these various institutes genuinely share a discipline, though they are all focussed on animals. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:44, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support and purge Animal Protection Institute and Animal Welfare Institute from this category, they are not a research institute. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:09, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. The lone page (Farmersville Islamic cemetery) is already in Category:Cemeteries in Texas and Category:Buildings and structures in Collin County, Texas. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Buildings and structures in Farmersville, Texas to Category:Buildings and structures in Collin County, Texas
 * Nominator's rationale: Only 1 article Rathfelder (talk) 20:28, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Upmerge - we don't need this category and its redlinked parent just to hold a single article (or even to hold 2 articles, if we add the city's primary article into the parent). If/when we have several articles about buildings and structures in  the city, we can recreate it.  עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge but the targets should be Category:Cemeteries in Texas and Category:Collin County, Texas. The one article is on an Islamic cemetery, which is neither a building not a structure.  Farmersville is categorised as a city, but iwht a population of 3301 in 2010 it is too small to need a category of its own.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Support original nomination just for consistency, because all cemeteries are in the buildings and structures tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:49, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Category:Neighborhoods in Freetown

 * 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: Rename. I will create a category redirect so that either title will work. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:08, 6 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Neighborhoods in Freetown to Category:Neighbourhoods in Freetown
 * Nominator's rationale: Possible WP:ENGVAR issue, but with some complications. I'm the original creator here, but I did so only because the category was already sitting on some of the articles as a premature redlink, so I did so at the spelling that the link was using without really noticing that it might be questionable. The articles here, if they use the word "neighbo(u)rhood" at all, are all using the or spelling, although the main article on Sierra Leone uses our in "neighbouring" -- and Sierra Leonean English helps not a whit, containing no information whatsoever about whether "British" or "American" spelling would be considered the correct ENGVAR in a Sierra Leonean context. And although it is part of the British Commonwealth, its history and culture does also have much deeper ties to American influences than any other country in the region save Liberia -- so it's not inherently obvious that British Commonwealth automatically means British spelling. What's needed is explicit evidence of which spelling is actually considered normal in Sierra Leone, not just an assumption about which one could be inferred from its international diplomatic memberships. Bearcat (talk) 18:33, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Rename as nom. I think it is safe to assume that Commonwealth countries outside America will use British orthography, the education system having had a British origin.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment on the government website, "neighborhood" yields 5 hits, "neighbourhood" 3 hits. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:42, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting argentine people of armenian-jewish descent


 * Nominator's rationale: This category is empty. Hovhannes Karapetyan 11:16, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * If it had any content, I would have said upmerge. A descent category by a sub-ethnicity is going too far, unless it can be well populated.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree with Peterkingiron  Rathfelder (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I have to admit I am afraid this might be incorrectly used to cover people of mixed Armenian and Jewish descent, as opposed to people with Jewish ancestors from Armenia (however that term is defined). I tried to get a sense on the potential for this from the article on Jews in Armenia. It mainly focuses on Eastern Armenia, the modern nation, and ignores how many Jews may have lived in the part of historical Armenia now in Turkey. It also gives to sets of figures, one showing less than 2,000 Jews while another showing more than 10,000 at the same time, so I am confused. It talks of 6,000 Jews leaving Armenia for Israel in the early 1990s. None of this indicates this is a common lingeage in Argentina. We need to excercise some control in over categorization by ancestry, and avoid imputing it to people who don't identify by it. Otherwise we could have 10 categories of it for some people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:03, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 08:55, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Star of the Solomon Islands
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * When foreign heads of state visit the Solomon Islands, they receive one of these souvenirs from the government as part of the official welcome. I don't see how prime ministers of Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are defined by an award from this country. Of the 4 people in this ccategory, zero are from the Solomon Islands. If we delete this category, the recipients will still be listed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified AusTerrapin as the apparent category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Solomon Islands. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Background We deleted medals given to foreign officials by Venezuela and Afghanistan here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Honours given to foreign officials for diplomatic reasons fail OCAWARD. No objection to listifying first.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:13, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete a non-defining award.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Civil awards and decorations of Indonesia
 * Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of Indonesian civil awards and decorations
 * Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an empty category.
 * This is really just a cleanup nomination since these categories only contain one article in total and it's miscategorized. (The recipients of civil award categories are for subcategories of specific awards, not individual biography articles.) If and when actual content appears, no objection to recreating either category. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Xdamr as the category creator and this discussion has been included in the WikiProject Indonesia. – RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 29 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete -- I presume there would be a merge target if there was anything to merge. The one article, on Phillipines president has a long list of national and foreign honours, which does not include any Indonesian one.  Even if it did, he should not be categorised as holding an award given purely for diplomatic reasons.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:18, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete non-defining awards.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
