 * Propose merging Category:All articles needing cleanup to Category:All pages needing cleanup
 * Nominator's rationale: The two categories cover the same topic. CoolieCoolster (talk) 01:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment This proposal moves Articles to Pages; and the following moves Pages to Articles. Should the two not be consistent? Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:11, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment my comment about the following Cfd referred to 'Propose merging Category:Wikipedia pages needing cleanup to Category:Articles needing cleanup'. I have/had no opinion on either, but just thought there should be some consistency about articles and pages Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:38, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the two categories do not cover the same topic; many pages are not articles. DexDor(talk) 20:13, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. This needs sorting as there are 21,000+ articles in Category:All pages needing cleanup and nearly 18,000 articles in Category:All articles needing cleanup. A random inspection has not thrown up any duplicates. "All pages" is the older cat, having been created in 2006. "All articles" was created in 2010 by User:Bsherr who has not edited since 2011. I looked at his editing around the time he created "All articles", and found this discussion: Template_talk:Cleanup/Archive_5. The intention was initially to replace "All pages" with "All articles", but then it was felt it might be useful to have "All pages" as a parent cat holding "All articles" plus other cats holding other pages or files needing maintenance. That appears not to have been done effectively as some maintenance templates put articles in "All pages", and other templates put articles in "All articles". I'm not seeing an advantage of keeping two cats which split the articles needing maintenance randomly into two different categories, nor an advantage to having "All pages" as a parent when we already have Category:Wikipedia cleanup, which does that job more effectively.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Politics of the District of Columbia to Category:Politics of Washington, D.C.
 * Nominator's rationale: Note: I made the latter category just now. There is no meaningful distinction between the "District of Columbia" and "Washington, D.C." and all other D.C. categories (including several categories of this scheme) use "[X] of Washington, D.C." ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
