 * Propose deleting united states politicians who were awarded the medal of honor


 * Nominator's rationale: This represents over categorizing by unrelated characteristics. TM 19:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:TRIVIALCAT as irrelevant intersection. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:19, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Looks like a valid candidate for a list; add dates, service etc, and then delete. Twiceuponatime (talk) 10:04, 12 April 2018 (UTC) Cancel that - it appears to be very well covered by List of Medal of Honor recipients, so just delete. Twiceuponatime (talk) 10:06, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Category:Photographers from Qazvin

 * 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 both parents (WP:NAC). DexDor(talk) 05:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Photographers from Qazvin to Category:Iranian photographers
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just two photographers. As always, every possible combination of occupation with individual city of origin does not automatically get its own standalone category the moment one or two articles exist to be filed in it -- this would be fine if there were a lot of articles to file here, but not just one or two. This is the only such category that exists for any city in Iran -- even Tehran doesn't have one -- so it's not a "large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" for the purposes of being exempted from SMALLCAT, and with just 58 articles the parent category is far from being large enough to require subcategory diffusion either. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:Iranian photographers and Category:People from Qazvin. Yes it's too small, but the merge should not lose the  "from Qazvin" attribute. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:25, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge per BrownHairedGirl....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes Upmerge. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting book of revelation verses


 * Nominator's rationale: delete, this category does not contain any verses, just chapters. All chapters are in Category:Book of Revelation chapters already. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:34, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete also the categories for individual chapters (of which there are three). We really do not need to split further.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:18, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. ℯ xplicit  05:12, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Middle-earth theology to Category:Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium
 * Nominator's rationale: rename to align with article name Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium. The nomination was declined by User:Armbrust for speedy renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Category:Middle-earth theology to Category:Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium, C2D per Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:00, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose I'm not convinced that Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium is the main article of the category. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:55, 8 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - subcat of Category:Middle-earth, clearer and less pretentious. Oculi (talk) 08:48, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Is "theology" less pretentious than "cosmology"? Marcocapelle (talk) 12:57, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * "Middle-earth theology" is much less pretentious than "Cosmology of Tolkien's legendarium". Oculi (talk) 19:03, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per Oculi. "Legendarium" sounds like a name Hyacinth Bucket might use for her diary. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:16, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep While legendarium or mythopoeia might be the more accurate academic terms, theology is clearer for ordinary folk searching for Middle-earth articles. We might consider renaming the article instead, per WP:COMMONNAME. --Mark viking (talk) 00:47, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as the article has elements of mythology, theology and folklore Hugo999 (talk) 23:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename somehow. Theology refers to a God.  There seem to be higher powers at work in Tolkein's universe, such as the Valar, but not gods.  Cosmology is certainly better, but I am not fond of that either.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
