 * 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: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 04:47, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting windsor family credit union


 * Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:41, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose - And perhaps there will be future articles to populate it with. Me-123567-Me (talk) 02:00, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Addendum - Category:Royal Canadian Mint has less than two articles. Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * DElete -- not enough content, not likely to have much more. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:31, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Canadian Mint has a lot more potential. If the credit union ever acquires more articles, the category can be recreated, but for now, it's pretty useless. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:16, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: relisted, see here. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 03:07, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting actors from the new york metropolitan area


 * Nominator's rationale: Who refers to actors as being from this area? I've never seen it. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:11, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose I actually think that actors by metropolitan region is better than actors by specific city.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:16, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Lesbian culture in New York City

 * 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: double upmerge which is the more conservative closure. This is without prejudice against an early nomination of Category:Lesbian culture in the United States by state and Category:Gay culture in the United States by state and their subcategories. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:52, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Lesbian culture in New York City to Category:LGBT culture in New York City
 * Propose merging Category:Gay culture in New York City to Category:LGBT culture in New York City
 * Nominator's rationale: Overly specific diffusions of a category that doesn't need them. is not large enough to require separate subcategories for the minority of topics that are lesbian-specific or gay-specific rather than being common to both -- the LGBT WikiProject has a consensus to keep categories like this at the LGBT level rather than diffusing them into separate subcategories for each of the "quadrants". Bearcat (talk) 19:32, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Double upmerge to both the nominated category, and each to its state-level parent. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - perhaps Bearcat could link to the consensus discussion by WikiProject LGBT studies. At the moment there are also subcategories by US state (though not many). Category:Lesbian culture in New York City in particular seems to be well populated so WP:SMALLCAT, for example, wouldn't apply. Sionk (talk) 13:36, 12 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Upmerge Gwenerally LGBT is the prefered spot to place such categories at.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:15, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Compositions by John Foulds

 * 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 (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 04:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting compositions by john foulds


 * Nominator's rationale: Category is narrow and currently has only one article. Based on the text of the article John Foulds, it seems unlikely that any of his other works are sufficiently notable to warrant individual articles of their own, so this category will probably remain nearly empty. Gnome de plume (talk) 13:38, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep – part of Category:Compositions by composer for which 1 is the minimum. Clearly the composer is a defining, indeed paramount, characteristic of a composition. Oculi (talk) 09:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although there is only one entry at present, there is no reason to believe that editors won't create articles on this composer's other notable works. Note that the equivalent category on the Dutch Wikipedia nl:Categorie:Compositie van John Foulds currently has 22 entries. --Deskford (talk) 09:49, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oculi and Deskford. Double sharp (talk) 10:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:59, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Definite keepper the above. - Smerus (talk) 13:02, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above. - Graham1973 (talk) 16:07, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Regions of Asia by country

 * 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: no consensus. This closure is without prejudice against an early batch nomination of all categories of this same form. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:28, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Regions of Asia by country to Category:Regions of Asian countries
 * Nominator's rationale: Created by blocked user - unchecked - or corrected during creation,

Parent category correct, however there is a possible misuse of terms, rename to Regions of Asian countries? JarrahTree 12:41, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Firstly, why nominate just the Asia category and not the other subcats of Category:Regions by continent and country, which were created by the same user? Secondly, this category - including its name - is in line with older categories created by other users, such as and . עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:11, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * rename this and then the rest of the similar categories. Current name is confusing and does not accurately describe the contents; new name is a better descriptor. Hmains (talk) 02:42, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - entirely standard naming convention for 'Regions of Asia' subcatted by country. Oculi (talk) 09:52, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * 'comment - it would be fine if they were indeed regions of asia, they are in actual fact regions of the countries in Asia - not the larger region. Perhaps there is something in the way of reading - the ambiguity as to whether the category is referring to regions of asia, or regions of countries - I do not think is adequately clarified in the title as it is - perhaps the whole tree has the problem where the region name comes first, then the country - and whether the subject is clearly indicated as being in the country and not the region... JarrahTree 10:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename -- Category:Regions of countries in Asia would be even clearer, but I would not oppose nom, if preferred. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:34, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Geography of New York City counties

 * The result of the discussion was: merge and rename as nominated.  ℯ  xplicit  00:50, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Propose merging: Propose renaming: Rationale: The counties are identical with the associated boroughs of New York City, so they should follow the standard naming patterns for the borough-related categories. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:07, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Support – I picked the last one at random and found Category:Richmond County, New York redirects to Category:Staten Island and Richmond County, New York redirects to Staten Island. Oculi (talk) 11:39, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * keep as is. Landform categories are maintained at the U.S. county level with very few at the city level and none known at the sub-city (in this case, borough) level Hmains (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * REanme -- We all know (roughly) where the Bronx and Brooklyn are. Using their formal county names makes the categories less clear, but that ought not to mean any consequential changes to parents.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:39, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
