 * Nominator's rationale: delete (or heavily purge some of them?) per WP:OCEPON especially since the larger amount of content of these categories is inappropriate, e.g. per WP:SHAREDNAME. Pinging who participated in this earlier similar discussion. The nominated categories have all been created by the same editor User:Hocimi of whom some more categories have been nominated in the past weeks. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Rename and purge -- These seem to be a mixture of "things associated with ..." and "things named after ...". The latter, at least, is a "shared name" category, which is not allowed. The right place for that is a dab-page. For the explorers, we might have the basis of a category, but it should probably be called Category:Expeditions of Roald Amundsen, etc, which would take it out of OCEPON. In some cases substantially everything is "named after": those need to be deleted. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Generally I like the idea of renaming and purging e.g. Category:Roald Amundsen to Category:Expeditions of Roald Amundsen. However, with Willem Barentsz and Abel Tasman this is not feasible, since they don't have separate articles per expedition. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:34, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Works about Leopold II of Belgium to Category:Leopold II of Belgium
 * Propose merging Category:Works by Peyo to Category:Peyo
 * Propose merging Category:Films based on works by Hergé to Category:Films based on works by Belgian writers (no need to merge to Category:Hergé, content is already in appropriate Category:Tintin)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge/delete as unnecessary container categories, only having one or two subcats, thus merely hindering navigation. The nominated categories have all been created by the same editor User:Hocimi. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
