 * Propose deleting holocaust antisemitic attacks and incidents


 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to parent Category:Holocaust massacres and pogroms. We don't have nor need a tree for 'attacks and incidents'. This category has no purpose, the parent is sufficient.Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:51, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:People from Wall, Pennsylvania to Category:People from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one-county community with just 1 entry. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:05, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: yawn. See WP:Rules_for_Fools. No blocked for vandalism. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:58, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting category namespace


 * Nominator's rationale: Not meta enough. w umbolo   ^^^  09:09, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose (as creator) – Matches categories (and redirects) for other namespaces. The category is a logical location for Wikipedia administration pages relating to the category namespace (though obviously it's a redirect to the actual location). The nominator didn't actually provide any real reason the redirect should be deleted. Since the page is for administration purposes, not readers, the fact that it's "meta" isn't an issue.

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:People from South Derbyshire to Category:People from South Derbyshire (district)
 * Nominator's rationale: to make consistent with other similar categories, e.g. Category:People from North East Derbyshire (district), Category:People from South Gloucestershire (district) (and many others) and to enable it to be used with Template:Cathead English people by place, note this would undo Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 June 20, which used as its (to my thinking weaker) argument that the parent category and main article South Derbyshire were not disambiguated. GrahamHardy (talk) 07:04, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per Category:South Derbyshire and South Derbyshire. There is no South Derbyshire (district). This problem arose long ago due to a random tacking on of '(district)' to categories for almost all UK areas. Oculi (talk) 11:43, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename A casual reader is inclined to believe people thus categorized come from the southern half of Derbyshire, but this category is specifically about the district, hence appending (district) adds clarity - as it does to Category:People from North East Derbyshire (district), Category:People from South Gloucestershire (district) (and many others) GrahamHardy (talk) 12:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I would be in favour of removing (district) from those 2 as well, as we have North East Derbyshire and South Gloucestershire but not North East Derbyshire (district) or South Gloucestershire (district). Categories are supposed to follow articles. Oculi (talk) 13:03, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The casual reader will wrongly assume people so categorized come from the north east of Derbyshire and the southern part of Gloucestershire, surely we should clarify rather than obfuscate...GrahamHardy (talk) 13:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename -- Sometimes a category needs a disambiguator where the main article does not. Category:People from South Derbyshire (district) is specific as to its scope.  Category:People from South Derbyshire requires the editor's POV as to whether the person's home is in southern  Derbyshire.  Some might consider that Derby itself would qualify.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge/delete per nom. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Specialist police agencies of India to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of India‎
 * Propose merging Category:Specialist police agencies of Russia to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of Russia‎
 * Propose merging Category:Specialist police agencies of Georgia (country) to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of Georgia (country)

 * Propose renaming Category:Specialist police agencies of Cyprus‎ to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of Cyprus
 * Propose renaming Category:Specialist police agencies of France to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of France
 * Propose renaming Category:Specialist police agencies of the Republic of Ireland‎ to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Ireland‎
 * Propose renaming Category:Specialist police agencies of Venezuela to Category:Specialist law enforcement agencies of Venezuela
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary distinction. Police agencies are law enforcement agencies. In line with other categories and the relevent articles. Rathfelder (talk) 10:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment -- This is difficult to judge because some appear to have been emptied out of process. Where only one exists, we should 'keep that.  In some countries there may be law enforcement agencies that are not technically police.  In those cases we may keep "law enforcement agencies" and merge "police agencies", but all should come under a single parent, whose children may vary salightly in title according to local circumstances.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There is a very well established category tree based on Category:Law enforcement agencies. There isn't one based on police and there are few Police categories at all until you get down to categories based on individual local police forces like Category:Delhi Police. It is hard to see a distinction between a law enforcement agency and the police. Rathfelder (talk) 11:06, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: relisted, see here (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 04:13, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Mount St. Mary's College to Category:Mount St. Mary's University (Los Angeles)
 * Nominator's rationale: In 2015, this school's name changed to say "University" instead of "College", so this category and all subcategories should reflect the new article title of Mount St. Mary's University (Los Angeles). Arbor to SJ (talk) 00:30, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:32, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Oculi (talk) 08:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose as nominated. Sounds good in principle, but the subcats should be named consistently.  Either rename them all or rename none ... and the since the subcats  are not listed, they can't be renamed via this discussion. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:03, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
