 * The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 19:48, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Birds of Equatorial Africa to Category:Birds of Sub-Saharan Africa
 * Nominator's rationale: There are (afaics) no other fauna/flora categorized for this "region".    "Equatorial Africa is an ambiguous term ...".  Other categories (e.g. Category:Birds of West Africa) do a much better job - they cover a clearly-defined area, they don't overlap and they fit with categories for other fauna/flora.

Category:Wildlife of Belarus

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 19:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Wildlife of Belarus to Category:Environment of Belarus
 * Nominator's rationale: This category just contains a biota subcat.  Most biota-of-region categories don't have a corresponding wildlife-of-region parent. This upmerge would fix an anomaly of a wildlife category being both under a biota category (Category:Biota by country) and containing a biota subcat. DexDor(talk) 17:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Attic calendar to Category:Festivals in ancient Athens

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 21:25, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting 15th-century lords protector of england added 24 November
 * Propose deleting 16th-century lords protector of england
 * Propose deleting 17th-century lords protector of england added 24 November
 * Nominator's rationale: This category will only ever contain one person, so he can just be put into each of the three categories (16th-century English politicians, 16th-century viceregal rulers, Lords Protector of England). No need for this one. See Overcategorization. Celia Homeford (talk) 09:31, 23 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment He was not in any of the categories, yesterday. I think Wikipedia has a serious problem with undercategorization. Dimadick (talk) 09:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
 * No, he was in two of the categories yesterday, as anyone can verify by looking: 16th-century English politicians and Lords Protector of England. And, he's still in them. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:15, 23 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete as the upmerge is unneeded. All the pages are already in Category:Lords Protector of England.  This one is in Category:16th-century English politicians as well; the similar pages for 15th and 17th century would need an upmerge there if deleted.  (and I support deleting them all; these are WP:NARROWCAT) power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 03:06, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose Parent Category:16th-century English politicians primarily focuses on MPs, and does not allow readers to easily locate heads of government. Dimadick (talk) 08:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * There are only few articles directly in Category:16th-century English politicians, the MPs are in subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:37, 24 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete, there are only 8 articles in the entire tree of Category:Lords Protector of England, there is no need to diffuse it by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:43, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment, I've taken the liberty to add the siblings to the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:43, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SMALLCAT.Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:40, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
