 * Propose merging Category:Civil defence organisations based in Singapore to Category:Organisations of the Singapore Government‎
 * Nominator's rationale: There is only one Civil defence organisation in Singapore Rathfelder (talk) 22:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge Single article categories don't aid navigation and I see no growth potential. We do keep small categories for small countries but I'd rather leave that at the generally organisation level. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:54, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Clubs in Singapore to Category:Clubs and societies in Singapore
 * Nominator's rationale: Bring in line with the rest of the category Rathfelder (talk) 22:40, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per convention in Category:Clubs and societies by country. Oculi (talk) 23:24, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:People from Lexington, Illinois

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:55, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People from Lexington, Illinois to Category:People from McLean County, Illinois
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one-county community with just three entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:35, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge for Now With no objection to recreating should the article count grow to 5, my arbitrary cutoff for WP:SMALLCAT. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep not near empty and enough potential for growth. gidonb (talk) 02:55, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge per RevelationDirect. I went through every biography which links to Lexington and found none not already in this category. It's not clear that this has any potential for growth. ~ Rob 13 Talk 19:04, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. ~ Rob 13 Talk 19:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Slovene culture to Category:Slovenian culture
 * Nominator's rationale: If referring to Slovene culture beyond today's Slovenia borders (Trieste, Croatia, Austria), this has to be pointed out more clearly and convincingly. Until then, the best we can do is merge two almost eponymous WP:OVERLAPCATs. PanchoS (talk) 21:38, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Mongolian Stock Exchange

 * 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 merger as proposed would have removed the content from one of the crucial parent category trees. Please try to avoid this with future CFD nominations. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
 * The result of the discussion was: merge to both parents, i.e. Category:Business organisations in Mongolia and Category:Stock exchanges in Mongolia.


 * Propose merging Category:Mongolian Stock Exchange to Category:Business organisations in Mongolia
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one substantive article and no prospect of any more. Rathfelder (talk) 21:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The only problem that I see with the merge is that "stock exchanges" are under Category:Financial services companies by country, "Business organizations" is a somewhat more broad term, since it can include non-profits. Stock exchanges are more related to the economy and for-profit companies. Category:Economy-related organizations is where the "Companies" category ends up. Funandtrvl (talk) 22:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Also upmerge to parent Category:Stock exchanges in Mongolia. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * keep but repurpose for quoted companies: see comment on the next item below. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge There is no reason to have a two article category of this type.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:54, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Stock exchanges in Mongolia

 * 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: keep as part of a series, per WP:SMALLCAT. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:34, 26 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting stock exchanges in mongolia


 * Nominator's rationale: There is only one. Rathfelder (talk) 21:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I know there's only one, but the majority of the category is in sub-categories. Is it really better to have the "onesies" just in the parent category? Funandtrvl (talk) 22:36, 5 July 2016 (UTC)


 * keep This is part of the container category Category:Stock exchanges by country. When part of a series, WP retains categories no matter how few articles they contain. There is no minimum number. Hmains (talk) 03:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -- The question is what we do with the list article, which seems entirely to consist of redlinks or links to articles where the company name is used for something else.  The one exception I found was Zoos Bank, which has apparently now merged with a savings bank.  A few linked to a community in Mongolia; have privatised communes issued shares that are traded on the exchange?  The article on the exchange might become a main article for Category:Companies quoted on the Mongolian Stock Exchange, but I do not think we have that one (yet).  Certainly we only need one category, which should be directly a child of an Asian Stock Exchanges category.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:21, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Rivers of Southwestern Indiana

 * 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: upmerge to Category:Rivers and streams of Indiana. While people voted delete/keep, it's clear that no-one intended this to be removed from the rivers and streams category tree. ~ Rob 13 Talk 19:33, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting rivers of southwestern indiana


 * Nominator's rationale: Parent category, Category:Rivers and streams of Indiana, isn't big enough to need any splitting. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Do not delete Nominator does not mention the other parent category involved here Category:Southwestern Indiana. Category:Rivers of Southwestern Indiana is an obvious part of this parent.  Hmains (talk) 02:56, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This seems to be a reasonable part of a category tree on locations in Category:Southwestern Indiana. Deletion would not help navigation. Dimadick (talk) 21:47, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Southwestern Indiana is not an official sub-division. I'm fine with some categories for the greater Evansville area especially if it's that's the media market or other metro topics. But we shouldn't sub-cat off every possible topic area from Indiana for an informal area. RevelationDirect (talk) 04:00, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Due to its limited scale, we should consider only human geography categories for this region. gidonb (talk) 03:09, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, there is no point in having an additional layer of categories between state and county level, while in reality the extra layer does not exist or is very informal. Please nominate all other Southwestern Indiana categories as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:People from North Shore, Auckland

 * 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: relisted here. ~ Rob 13 Talk 19:36, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:People from North Shore, Auckland to Category:People from North Shore City or Category:People from North Shore, New Zealand
 * Nominator's rationale: A tricky one - the parent cat and key article are at, so the obvious rename would be to . On the other hand, North Shore City no longer exists - it is part of the Auckland "supercity". The better alternative would be to go with standard New Zealand naming conventions and move it to , since there is no other North Shore in the country. Grutness...wha?  06:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * update - key article is now at North Shore, New Zealand, and is up for a rename. Grutness...wha?  02:37, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:01, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Actress to Category:Actresses
 * Nominator's rationale: The category is at Category:Actresses. This should be salted.  Redirection is also an option. DexDor(talk) 06:05, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete – there is 1 article, which I have added to 'Canadian actresses', so no merge is needed. Oculi (talk) 09:40, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Hero Cities of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 19:36, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Hero Cities of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * The main article for this category, Hero Cities of Yugoslavia, is just a section redirect that lists the contents of this category. I'm guessing this was given to cities involved in conflicts during WWII but that's not unusual in Europe and I can't find any source to back up my theory anyway (at least in English). Before we debate whether an award is defining in the category space, we really need a main article to ground that CfD discussion. (If anyone who can read Serbian wants to take that on, I'll put this nomination on hold for a month.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: The creator of this category, User:WhiteWriter, was deleted but I added this discussion to WikiProject Yugoslavia. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Background We deleted a similar sounding Soviet award here and this category was involved in a large omnibus nomination here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:56, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, I don't see any particular reason why WP:OCAWARD wouldn't apply here. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:15, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Grand Masters of the Decoration for Services to the Republic of Austria
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. ~ Rob 13 <sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">Talk 19:37, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Grand Masters of the Decoration for Services to the Republic of Austria
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * The "Grand Master" of the Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria is automatically given to every person who is elected President of Austria and to nobody else. Being president of a country is obviously defining, which is why every single one of these people is already in Category:Presidents of Austria and listed here. So this category is non-defining and, if you did want to navigate between these articles, another category already provides that pathway. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: The notified Mimich as the category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Austria. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Background We deleted similar automatic "Grand Master" categories with the Netherlands and Malaysia here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:16, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
