 * The result of the discussion was: merge, as WP:SOFTDELETE due to the low participation in this discussion. The articles which are not biographies are already in other specific categories for the year in question, so no other merge is needed. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:50, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, mostly just one article per category. A double upmerge (also to year categories) is undesirable because these categories mainly contain murder victims and occasionally murderers (i.e. they're nearly all biographies) who do not belong in a year category directly. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 12 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Most of these seem to be bio-articles which might be in "People murdered in 1086" etc. I suspect this category series is the result of a past ill-advised rename or merger.  If the articles were about a particular crime we might put them in the target categories, but a bio-article about the life of an assassinated ruler should not be in a crime tree at all.  Accordingly, delete most - allthat are not specifically about the murders (or other crimes) themselves.  At present the tree is being misused.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:09, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree but would rather propose keeping the century crimes including murder victims and murderers for now, in order to easily create Category:xth-century murder victims and Category:xth-century murderers. I've done the same with the ancient categories. A more rigorous clean-up of the crimes tree can be done afterwards. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Category:Concentration camps in the Yugoslav Wars

 * 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: rename (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Concentration camps in the Yugoslav Wars to Category:Yugoslav Wars internment camps
 * Nominator's rationale: As per Category:Internment camps. I would strongly suggest that the sub-categories, which categorize camps by nationality, be scrapped, and instead articles be categorized into Category:Croatian War internment camps and Category:Bosnian War internment camps.Z oupan 05:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. While it may make sense to split the subcategories in a different way, they should be nominated as well in order to get anything done. It's probably best to open a separate discussion for this. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * comment I agree with Marcocapelle in the action needed here. Otherwise, things are just too confusing. Hmains (talk) 16:04, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
