 * The result of the discussion was: at 2016 OCT 25 CFD, since category was not tagged with Template:Cfm. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:45, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Priests trained at King's College London to Category:Alumni of King's College London
 * Nominator's rationale: I don't think it makes much sense to sub-categorise in this way. In that case you could end up with no end of sub-cats based on profession. This List of King's College London alumni already does a pretty good job of listing alumni by profession, and I think the newly created category is superfluous.

 * Oppose - didn't the theological dept of King's College / KCL have a function as a theological college, with its own qualification (the AKC)? That seems to me enough to justify keeping the clergy who trained there separate. Eustachiusz (talk) 11:21, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Support, we don't categorize alumni by later occupation or by former university department. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Support -- WE should not categorise alumni by qualification earned. I have not looked to see if we may need also to merge to another target, e.g. Anglican clergy.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:02, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People from Madison, Tennessee to Category:People from Nashville, Tennessee
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Neighborhood of Nashville with just 2 entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:57, 12 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. While a "People from City" category may, where useful for size management purposes, be subdivided by its actual incorporated and semi-distinct boroughs if such exist at all, it's virtually never appropriate or warranted to filter a city-level category all the way down to the level of an individual neighbourhood. For one thing, people frequently move from one part of the same city to another, making it often unmaintainable; for two, it's often not reliably sourceable — one of the two articles filed here features no mention of Madison whatsoever, and thus may very possibly have been filed here on the basis of someone's unverifiable personal knowledge of her home address. And for three, WP:SMALLCAT. The city-level category is all that's needed here. Bearcat (talk) 18:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
