 * The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯ xplicit  04:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:BHP Billiton to Category:BHP
 * Nominator's rationale: to line up with article renaming a few months ago 61.68.24.98 (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Question -- Have both dual listed parent companies been renamed to BHP? I think not: if so, oppose and reverse the article rename.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * BHP Shipping is the shipbuilding arm of BHP, according to the article. So no need to oppose. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 13 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support - Company rebranded in 2017 as described in article. Consensus to rename article was reached here. Nanbai22 (talk) 04:33, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Category:Deuterostomes of Japan

 * 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 (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Deuterostomes of Japan to Category:Fauna of Japan
 * Nominator's rationale: This is the only deuterostomes-of- category.  This is an unnecessary category layer (it contains just 2 items) between the vertebrates and fauna categories and (unlike those categories) the word "deuterostomes" is rather specialist.  See related recent CFD. DexDor(talk) 20:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge - the single article Clavelina elegans (at the top level) doesn't mention Deuterostome so the category is not supported by the text. Oculi (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 06:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Togo to Category:Fish of West Africa


 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Benin‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Cape Verde‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of the Gambia‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Ghana‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Guinea‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Guinea-Bissau‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Fish of Ivory Coast‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Liberia‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Mauritania‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Nigeria‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Senegal‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa
 * Propose merging Category: Fish of Sierra Leone‎ to Category:Fish of West Africa


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF - many of the articles in these categories don't even mention the specified country (example edit).
 * For info: Example of a previous similar CFD.  Note: after an upmerge the FofWA category tag should be removed from those articles that are in the FFofWA subcat. DexDor(talk) 19:31, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support -- Biota categories for every country are a variety of category clutter. However, I wonder whether a more specific Category:Fish of tropical West Africa would not be more appropriate: I note that Mali and Chad do not appear in this list.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no Category:Fish of Mali. Chad is normally considered part of Central Africa not West Africa. DexDor(talk) 08:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Category:Plants containing caffeine

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting plants containing caffeine


 * Nominator's rationale: Seems redundant to Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants. Steel1943  (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Surely we're not now going to have separate categories for Plants containing theobromine and Plants containing theophylline, especially since plants containing one of these xanthines generally contain all three. Category:Plants containing xanthines is possible, though pretty abstruse. The existing Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants seems sufficient -- though I think a better name for it would be Category:Plants and fungi containing stimulants. --Macrakis (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Listify. No need for a category, but a list - either stand-alone or as part of Caffeine - would be worthwhile. It'd also be far more meaningful since — according to the article — there seem to be only about five articles about caffeine-producing plants (of which ony two are categorised) but there are some sixty plants which produce caffeine. Grutness... wha?   01:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment See Category_talk:Herbal_and_fungal_stimulants --Macrakis (talk) 16:44, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Populate - The suggested target is an appropriate parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:27, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Category:Class (grouping)

 * 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. ℯ xplicit  04:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting class (grouping)


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. The category text is IMO hard for normal people to follow (and too long for a category page, contains redlink etc), but the contents of the category (e.g. Category:First-class cricket, USB mass storage device class, J class (a dab page) and Parvclass (a redirect)) appear to indicate that it's for pages with "class" in their title.
 * Note: This is one of a number of similar categories created by the same editor recently - several are already at CFD. DexDor(talk) 06:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support, completely unrelated items have been put together in a category just because they have "class" in their name. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Grutness... wha?   00:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Rathfelder (talk) 10:14, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
