 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting literary genres based on writers' names


 * Nominator's rationale: This is categorizing by characteristics of name rather than characteristics of topic. See previous discussions re similar categories (e.g. in September). Note: there are only about 6 articles in the category (the rest are redirects). DexDor(talk) 20:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - it's also OR, I would say. Shavian is missing. Oculi (talk) 11:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Category:Conversion therapy organizations

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. ℯ xplicit  04:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Conversion therapy organizations to Category:Conversion therapy
 * Nominator's rationale: This is a category for organisations promoting a WP:FRINGE practice, of which there are currently three. Category:Conversion therapy only has a dozen or so articles itself, and these organisations are basically known only for conversion therapy, so this is WP:OVERCAT. Guy (Help!) 10:29, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I have no objection, just want to add that a dual merge is not needed here since all three articles are in Category:Ex-gay organizations already. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:59, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Struck first part of sentence after discussion below. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:02, 17 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep The number of articles the category has currently been added to is not relevant. There are numerous articles the category could be applied to, so I do not believe that this is overcategorization. Despite what some may assume, "Conversion therapy organizations" is not necessarily synonymous with "Ex-gay organizations", since there are ex-gay organizations that do not support conversion therapy. See for example Courage International. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:04, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * If you know more articles about conversion therapy organizations, please add them to the category. Just to clarify, by having Category:Conversion therapy organizations in Category:Ex-gay organizations we assume they are a subset of ex-gay organizations, not that they are synonymous with it. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I added "Category:Conversion therapy organizations" to a number of articles, being careful not to add it to articles about ex-gay organizations not concerned with promoting conversion therapy. In addition to Courage International, that includes Brothers on a Road Less Traveled and True Freedom Trust. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 08:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep now has more than 5 entries. Catrìona (talk) 07:41, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: reverse merge. ℯ xplicit  04:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:World War II and the media to Category:World War II media
 * Nominator's rationale: Both categories have unclear inclusion criteria but appear to be duplicates. Tim! (talk) 09:11, 14 October 2018 (UTC)


 * As this is part of Category:War and the media, and the target has no such parent, I suggest a reverse merge, and am tagging the other category accordingly.  – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:50, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge (preferably, per Fayenatic london) or merge, these are duplicate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
