 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting escape velocity (video game series)


 * Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:SMALLCAT. All of articles in the category have the appropriate categories here, so no merging is necessary. Izno (talk) 12:12, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete for Now per WP:SMALLCAT with no objection to recreating if we ever get up to 5 or so articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:13, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Category:Universal Century

 * The result of the discussion was:  at Categories for discussion/Log/2017 November 30.  ℯ  xplicit  04:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Universal Century to Category:Gundam Universal Century
 * Propose renaming Category:Universal Century characters to Category:Gundam Universal Century characters (added on relisting)
 * Propose renaming Category:Universal Century images to Category:Gundam Universal Century images (added on relisting)
 * Nominator's rationale: Title is not appropriate per MOS:INUNIVERSE, and should reflect that Universal Century is a Gundam term. This should also reflect in its subcategories. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Adding sub-categories to nomination
 * Rename to Category:Universal Century (Gundam). This title flows a bit better in my opinion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:30, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That would imply that it's disambiguating from another "Universal Century", which it isn't. Starting with Gundam unifies it more with the parent category.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:34, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename as the proposed name follows the format of other articles in the category. That said, I would have felt better about the name change if a Gundam Universal Century article existed. gidonb (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:49, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Consider merging/dispersing the content to Category:Gundam and subcategories, it is questionable if "Universal Century" really adds a lot. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:52, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested to Category:Gundam, Category:Gundam characters, and Category:Gundam images AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:15, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Category:States in the history of Azerbaijan

 * 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 both. A merge appears to be unnecessary because the remaining Category:Azerbaijani republics is in Category:Political history of Azerbaijan already. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting Category:States in the history of Azerbaijan
 * Propose merging Category:Azeri states to Category:History of Azerbaijan
 * Nominator's rationale: These two categories each contained only one sub-category. I added a redirect to one of them, and it would be possible to populate it based on the Azeri equivalent az:Kateqoriya:Azərbaycanla bağlı dövlətlər. However, I am not sure that it would be useful, as it duplicates what is already analysed by period in Category:History of Azerbaijan by period. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:41, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Support -- because all we have in either are the present republic the SSR which was a constituent of USSR. If we had more content, I might have taken another view.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:26, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting philippine running films


 * Nominator's rationale: Small cat. JDDJS (talk) 02:31, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:Running films, as the member page is already in other parent categories but not that one. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:45, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:00, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting Category:World War II theatres involving the United Kingdom‎
 * Propose deleting Category:World War II theaters involving the United States‎
 * Propose deleting Category:World War II theatres involving Canada‎
 * Nominator's rationale: delete as indiscriminate categories, they just cover all World War II theatres. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion which hasn't been closed yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 27 October 2017 (UTC)


 * delete per nom. There are a very few out-of-principal-theater operations involving a single country, but this doesn't do anything for that. Mangoe (talk) 14:10, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - per nom. Too specific, clearer and more concise as was before. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 03:08, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
