 * The result of the discussion was: delete. I have moved the sole article in this category to Category:Siege equipment. (non-admin closure) feminist  04:36, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sage equipment


 * Nominator's rationale: Not clear what the categorization criterion is here. — swpb T 20:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete – a mysterious category, nothing sage about it. (Siege?) Oculi (talk) 11:07, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - the only article is already in Category:Incendiary weapons. Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete (or rather merge) -- I suspect that the creator intended Category:Siege equipment, which exists and needs better populating. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment I was under the impression that we have deleted similar categories before. Dimadick (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per precedent of liberals, conservatives, etc. We can only allow such terms where they signify membership of a political party.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. We categorize politicians and political activists by the specific political party that they're a member of; we do not categorize actresses or writers or sportspeople (or even politicians) by general ideologies like "liberal" or "conservative" or "progressive" or "reactionary".

Category:Ukrainian coaches by sport

 * 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) 12:53, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging
 * Category:Ukrainian coaches by sport to Category:Ukrainian sports coaches
 * Category:Russian coaches by sport to Category:Russian sports coaches
 * Nominator's rationale: Pointless subcategory, because all the subcats of Category:Ukrainian sports coaches are of coaches by sport. Doesn't seem to have any parallels elsewhere in the category tree -- even Category:American sports coaches has no such subcat, and it is the most heavily-populated of Category:Sports coaches by nationality.

 * PS I subsequently found the Russian category, added it to this nomination. A search shows that these are the only 2 such categories. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:36, 18 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed; merge. — swpb T 13:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
