 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:04, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting district in washington metropolitan area


 * Nominator's rationale: I can't see a reason why we need this category. For one thing, metro-area categories aren't generally subdivided by jurisdiction type; for example, there is no Category:Cities in the Washington metropolitan area.  Moreover, this seems to be meant exclusively for DC; the category doesn't include Montgomery County Public Schools (Maryland), or Arlington Village Historic District (Arlington, Virginia), or the Friendship Village special taxation district, or the transportation-improvement district for Virginia State Route 28, or any other kinds of districts in the region.  There's no point in having a category for all districts in the metro area (or a category tree for them), and no point in having a category just for DC within the metro-area category.

 * Actually, upmerge since Category:Washington DC Category:Washington, D.C. isn't in the parent. Mangoe (talk) 15:07, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete plus comment on above post The category is not needed. Category:Washington DC is its only contents. Since Category:Washington DC is this category's contents, a merge to it don't make sense IMHO....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:13, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * This is probably a misunderstanding. It is not about Category:Washington DC (redirect) but about Category:Washington, D.C. (category with content). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Amended per above. Mangoe (talk) 12:40, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:02, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting lyapunov family


 * Nominator's rationale: I don't believe all of these are a single family; listing a bunch of people and a bunch of mathematical terms in the same category because they all have Lyapunov in the title is also incorrect. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 13:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Support, there are only two biographies in this category related to the family described in the Lyapunov family article. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:53, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:01, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Gambling anime and manga to Category:Gambling in anime and manga
 * Nominator's rationale: Same as all other subcategories in Category:Anime and manga by topic. Was missed in the previous mass rename because it was miscategorized in Category:Anime and manga by genre. However, this is a topic and not an actual genre. —Farix (t &#124; c) 13:09, 23 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree with that. I just didn't consider the difference between topic and actual genre when I created the category.--Moon218 (talk) 14:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting mytouche blog - metalblogger


 * Nominator's rationale: Not a category at all but two external links. Was created by a spammer. I couldn't find a good CSD criteria for this, so I'm sending it here. L293D (☎ • ✎) 07:46, 23 September 2018 (UTC)


 * L293D, this got deleted by User:RHaworth with a custom rationale, "Not a category page. Just external links". Good use of WP:IAR, I'd say, although it probably could have been deleted under G11 too.  Nyttend (talk) 23:11, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was:  at 2018 OCT 7 CFD. Good Ol’factory (talk) 12:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Attic calendar to Category:Festivals in ancient Athens
 * Propose renaming Category:Observances set by the Bahá'í calendar to Category:Bahá'í holy days
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Burmese calendar to Category:Festivals in Myanmar
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Chinese calendar to Category:Festivals in China

 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Islamic calendar to Category:Islamic holy days
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the traditional Japanese calendar to Category:Festivals in Japan
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Korean calendar to Category:Festivals in Korea
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Nanakshahi calendar to Category:Sikh festivals
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Solar Hijri calendar to Category:Festivals in Iran
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Thai lunar calendar to Category:Festivals in Thailand

 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Vietnamese calendar to Category:Festivals in Vietnam

 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Nepali calendar to Category:Religious festivals in Nepal
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Pawukon calendar to Category:Hindu holy days in Bali
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Punjabi calendar to Category:Punjabi festivals
 * Propose merging Category:Observances set by the Tamil calendar to Category:Festivals in Tamil Nadu
 * Propose deleting Category:Observances on non-Gregorian calendars
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, almost every calendar coincides with a particular country, a particular region, or a particular religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT prefix all by "Religious" per Category:Religious festivals in Nepal. For those that are obviously already religious, (e.g. Category:Hindu festivals), insert "religious" in the middle of the title (e.g. Category:Hindu religious festivals). Also, why is it Category:Jewish holy days instead of Category:Jewish religious festivals? Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:13, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Those are comments about the target categories. Happy to discuss them at some other occasion. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:58, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Not all of the proposed categories' members are religious. --Paul_012 (talk) 00:48, 5 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Category:Observances on non-Gregorian calendars on procedural grounds, as you've not specified something to do with the individual articles within the category. Propose something to do with them, or advance an argument why we shouldn't have them in any category of this sort, and I'll be willing to strike this vote.  Nyttend (talk) 23:09, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The individual articles are scheduled according to a country calendar or religious calendar that does not have its own subcategory yet (most of them Buddhist). The articles are not different from the subcategories in this respect. As the articles are already in the right country or religion category, they do not have to be in a calendar category as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:24, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you. Nyttend (talk) 10:57, 24 September 2018 (UTC)


 * oppose at least in part Looking at Category:Observances set by the Hebrew calendar, there are holidays set by the Israeli government whose dates are determined according to the Hebrew calendar, but which are not holy days, as for example Jabotinsky Day. I'm afraid this is going to have to be addressed on a category-by-category basis. Mangoe (talk) 15:06, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose in part -- Coptic and Ethiopian festivals should not be necessarily merged to Christian ones, since these independent churches are liable to have festivals that differ from those of the Catholic (and Protestant) and Orthodox traditions. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Category:Christian festivals and holy days contains more festivals and holy days that are not applicable to the entire Christian world, for example Buß- und Bettag is only in Germany. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:52, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Regional rail

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:59, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail
 * Propose renaming Category:Australian regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Australia
 * Propose renaming Category:British regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in the United Kingdom
 * Propose renaming Category:Canadian regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Canada
 * Propose renaming Category:Danish regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Denmark (ALT: Category:Commuter rail in Denmark)
 * Propose renaming Category:Finnish regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Finland (ALT: Category:Commuter rail in Finland)
 * Propose renaming Category:German regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Germany
 * Propose renaming Category:Hong Kong regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Hong Kong
 * Propose renaming Category:Hungarian regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Hungary
 * Propose renaming Category:Spanish regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Spain (ALT: Category:Commuter rail in Spain)
 * Propose renaming Category:Swedish regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Sweden
 * Propose renaming Category:Swiss regional rail systems to Category:Regional rail in Switzerland
 * Propose renaming Category:Turkish regional rail system to Category:Regional rail in Turkey
 * Nominator's rationale: remove "systems" per article name Regional rail. (Besides the word "system" is ambiguous. Regional trains and intercity trains often make use of the same railway track so at most it might be called Regional train "service".) In addition the format of the category name has been changed from "Fooian regional rail" to "Regional rail in Foo", which is the more usual format except in case of nationality of people.
 * Please note that there is a different nomination for Category:United States regional rail systems, for renaming to Category:Commuter rail systems in the United States, see this discussion. Likewise the Danish, Finnish and Spanish category may be renamed to commuter rail as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 23 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment -- There is no need to alter the British category. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Why not the British? Marcocapelle (talk) 11:59, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom and as nominator of the similar discussion. The word “systems” is entirely unimportant provided that all commuter rail and regional rail categories are consistent with each other and across the wiki. Lost on Belmont 3200N1000W  (talk) 01:00, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Support: conforms to other category names. –Daybeers (talk) 05:37, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
