 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 22:02, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting alliage (band) members


 * Nominator's rationale: Only one article (and 3 redirects back to the band page). Per Category:Musicians by band, "categories should not be created when only one member has an article." Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:15, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Category:Lists of songs by recording artists

 * 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: Rename. Timrollpickering 22:04, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Lists of songs by American recording artists to Category:Lists of songs recorded by American artists‎
 * Propose renaming Category:Lists of songs by South Korean recording artists to Category:Lists of songs recorded by South Korean artists‎
 * Nominator's rationale: This keeps in alignment of naming of categories under Category:Lists of songs by recording artists. I was going ask for speedy rename but these two categories were created 2-3 years ago, while all the rest were only created within the last 2 months, so I'm not sure one can say it is an established naming convention. At least, this discussion will make it the case. Thanks. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 18:57, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting palestinian christian communities


 * Propose deleting Category:Arab Christian communities in Israel
 * Nominator's rationale: listify and delete, most of these communities aren't Christian but instead they are Islamic with a substantial Christian minority. A list that includes a percentage is better in a case like this. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:07, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Taoism in Macau‎ to Category:Taoism in China and Category:Religion in Macau‎
 * Propose merging Category:Taoism in Shanghai‎ to Category:Taoism in China and Category:Religion in Shanghai‎
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, all the above categories contain one subcategory (usually a places of worship subcategory) and 0, 1 or 2 articles. This is a continuation of this earlier nomination which is still open for discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment what happens to the subcategories, then? I'm not sure I see the problem here, since smallcat allows categories that have been named as part of a larger scheme. SportingFlyer  talk  05:09, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The subcategories remain in the tree of that particular city, for example Category:Buddhist temples in Taipei remains in Category:Temples in Taipei. It makes no sense to consider subcategories of populated places to be part of a larger scheme because that would result in even the smallest place on earth having a huge category tree.
