Category:Coroners of Kings County, New York

 * 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 to Category:American coroners. I will also add these articles to Category:People from Brooklyn, but feel free to revert that change if you disagree. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Coroners of Kings County, New York to Category:Coroners of New York City
 * Nominator's rationale: Too small Rathfelder (talk) 10:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Don't merge; these are separate offices for distinct jurisdictions. Despite its title, the Coroner of New York City article appears to cover the same topic as Category:Coroners of New York County, New York, and both of the individuals in the Kings County category held office before Kings County was merged into the City of Greater New York.  One could argue for simple deletion, or for upmerger to Category:American coroners, but I don't have an opinion there.  Nyttend (talk) 02:17, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No merge add biographies for additional coroners, they all have obits in the New York Times and held other political positions. --RAN (talk) 05:30, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- It is probably the target that is misnamed. They might both be made subcats of Category:Coroners in New York City.  However they are both very small categories about a relatively minor local official.  Perhaps we might merge them both to my target.  I have not formally voted as I do not know enough.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete When these two men were coroners they were not "of New York City" or "in New York City", they were the coroners of Kings County which at the time was coextensive with the city of Brooklyn, New York, which would not merge into being part of New York City until 1898. However we do not have articles on either man because this father and son team was coroner and assistant coroner together from 1886-1892. No, we have articles on them because they were members of congress. We do not need categories for every point in people's biographies, and they clearly do not in any way qualify for the target category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:44, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:American coroners although I am somewhat doubtful about that who was the son who was only the assistant coroner. They were neither in nor of New York City.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

 * 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. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:10, 19 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Megabovids of Africa to Category:Bovids of Africa and Category:Megafauna of Africa
 * Nominator's rationale: Megabovid (and megabovine and big cow) are (currently) redlinks (so it's not clear what the inclusion criteria are). There are no other Megabovid (or Minibovid) categories.  Note: This contains only 3 sub-categories so it is an unnecessary layer of categorization. DexDor(talk) 06:20, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. The Bushranger One ping only 23:49, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Clergy in World War I to Category:20th-century clergy
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge as an unneeded category layer, it just contains a single subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge -- We have a subcat with 209 chaplains in it. I doubt there is any scope for anything else in it, so that this is a redundant level.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Double merge, also to Category:People of World War I. – Fayenatic  L ondon 00:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The latter isn't quite needed, because the content of this category (i.e. the subcategory) is also contained in Category:Military personnel of World War I. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Marcocapelle. Merge as nominated. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:52, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Clergy in the American Civil War to Category:19th-century clergy
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge as an unneeded category layer, with just a single subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Support Twiceuponatime (talk) 11:03, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge -- an unnecessary category level, but I would have though the target ought to be Category:19th-century American clergy, which does not seem to exist yet. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Works based on Peanuts (comic strip). The Bushranger One ping only 23:51, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Peanuts media to Category:Works based on Peanuts
 * Nominator's rationale: C2C; renaming to match similar categories like, , etc.. Trivialist (talk) 01:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Rename to . There's already a subcategory for it (Cat:Unofficial...). Grutness...wha?  00:29, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Works based on Peanuts. The main article is Peanuts, the description "comic strip" is not needed here. Dimadick (talk) 06:06, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename per Grutness; the parent category is Category:Peanuts (comic strip). We can have the article at Peanuts, not Peanuts (comic strip), because the food is at Peanut, but since categories get plural names, the category for the food is Category:Peanuts, and subcategories need to follow the format of the parent category.  Nyttend (talk) 06:13, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - it looks like half the categories for the strip are at "Peanuts foo" and half are at "Peanuts (comic strip) foo". Whichever is preferable, there should be consistency one way or the other. Grutness...wha?  02:41, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
