 * Propose merging Category:Ethnic Armenian lawyers to Category:Ethnic Armenian people


 * Category:Ethnic Armenian academics to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian bankers to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian comedians to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian designers to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian inventors to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian journalists to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Category:Ethnic Armenian philanthropists to Category:Ethnic Armenian people
 * Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by trivial intersection. There is not enough of a distinct history of Ethnic Armenians in these professions to warrant a separate category. There is no need to merge to nationality and profession based categories since all articles are already in an appropriate subcategory. TM 13:26, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Question Category:Ethnic Armenian people contains dozens of subcategories, why have you nominated these ones in particular? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:08, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Per WP:EGRS, these combinations are not "recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic[s]". "The basis for creating such a category is not the number of individuals who could potentially be filed in the group, but whether there's a specific cultural context for the grouping beyond the mere fact that politicians of that ethnic background happen to exist."--TM 22:25, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * And what about architects, economists etc etc? I would probably support if this nomination would cover all relevant subcategories but I can't see the benefit of nominating only these seven and leave the others alone. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Whether there are oversights on my part on nominating certain categories or not should not stop us from merging these categories. I would happily support another nomination for other non-notable intersections.--TM 19:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep -- Some of these are somewhat small, but the parent is tagged as a container. Many of the subcats are sufficiently populated to be kept.  I suspect there are people in an Armenian category who ought to be in these.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:20, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think the parent category is tagged as a container, nor should it be.--TM 19:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: nomination withdrawn. Grutness...  wha?   00:52, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Members of the Election Committee of Hong Kong, 2000–2005 to Category:Members of the Election Committee of Hong Kong, 2000–2007
 * Nominator's rationale: Move back to original title since it was the term of office of the EC. Lmmnhn (talk) 06:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have little to say one way or the other on this, but I tidied up the nomination, which was not done correctly. I will say, however, that this category has a messy history. originally created it as 2000–2006 then moved it to 2000–2007;  then moved it to 2000–2005. Neither of these moves seem to have been discussed anywhere. As things currently stand, there is a gap from 2005 to 2007, as all other ECoHK categories run in five year terms starting and ending in years ending in 2 or 7. However, the Hong Kong electoral process seems wuite baffling to me, and Wikipedia's articles cloud rather than clarify what the year range for these categories should be. Grutness...  wha?   11:16, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I take back my request. The term of office of the 1st Election Committee elected in 2000 was five years according to the CHIEF EXECUTIVE ELECTION ORDINANCE. Lmmnhn (talk) 12:14, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * OK - I'll list this as a withdrawn nomination. Looks like there's a short 2005-2007 period with different members, perhaps. - in future please nominate categories using the procedure listed here. Grutness...  wha?   00:52, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
