Category:Religion-related television episodes

 * 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 to Category:Television episodes about religion. MER-C 05:36, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting religion-related television episodes


 * Nominator's rationale: While there might be an original idea behind the separation of this and Category:Television episodes about religion, it isn't shown in the scope or really in the name itself. Both categories are "Religion-related". Gonnym (talk) 19:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This cat contains 3 subcats - Category:Christianity-related television episodes, Category:Islam-related television episodes & Category:Jewish-related television episodes. If this cat is deleted, will its subcats be moved to Category:Television episodes about religion? Jim Michael (talk) 19:23, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. Gonnym (talk) 22:00, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support in principle but only if merged to Category:Television episodes about religion instead of deleted, and preferably the proposal will be extended by a rename of the subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support if the contents of the cat are moved to the other cat. Jim Michael (talk) 11:28, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Category:Eurasian ancestry Wikipedians

 * 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. MER-C 05:47, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting eurasian ancestry wikipedians


 * Nominator's rationale: The parent has been deleted many times going back to a CfD in 2008, and it would seem the only purpose of this is to act as a container WP:SMALLCAT for Asian and European-ancestry Wikipedians. Delete and salt. Le Deluge (talk) 14:22, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Support -- The whole concept of Eurasian is something that is so common as to be useless for categorising people. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:57, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Category:Engineer regiments of the Swedish Army

 * 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. MER-C 05:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Engineer regiments of the Swedish Army to Category:Engineer regiments of Sweden
 * Nominator's rationale: Most other members of just have a simple "country" format, there's only three members of this one so there's no need to distinguish between branches of the Swedish services. Le Deluge (talk) 14:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Otherwise you might as well delete Category:Engineer Regiments of the United States Army Saftgurka (talk) 22:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is no argument. The difference is that the US military is much bigger, and so has many more engineering units, such that dividing it by service (debatably) makes sense. But for Sweden we are only categorising a handful of units, there's no need for WP:OVERCATEGORISATION.Le Deluge (talk) 01:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge -- I have looked at the one article in the target and it is all about the army. It is unlikely that the Swedish navy or air force would have regiments, let alone engineer regiments.  The subject here is a useless category level.   Peterkingiron (talk) 14:04, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Category:Edible gastropods

 * 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. MER-C 05:47, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting edible gastropods


 * Nominator's rationale: For an organism such as Limpet or Umbonium giganteum being edible is a non-defining characteristic. Edibility is also subjective (see points made in cephalopds CFD).  Note: Category:Snail dishes should be placed in Category:Edible molluscs and Category:Gastropods. DexDor(talk) 09:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Calvin University

 * 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. MER-C 05:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Calvin University (Michigan) to Category:Calvin University
 * Propose renaming Category:Calvin University (Michigan) alumni to Category:Calvin University alumni
 * Propose renaming Category:Presidents of Calvin University (Michigan) to Category:Presidents of Calvin University
 * Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Calvin College to Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Calvin University
 * Nominator's rationale: Primary topic. Calvin College was officially renamed in July, and the relevant pages were renamed as Calvin University (Michigan). However, the other institution with the same name is more recent and appears to be a lot less notable, so I boldly moved it to Calvin University (South Korea) and promoted the Michigan one to Calvin University as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Several incoming links about research on Nazi Germany and astronomy were for the Michigan one, so they were misleading but are now correct. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Category:Car-free areas by city

 * 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. MER-C 03:14, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting car-free areas by city


 * Nominator's rationale: The only content of this category is the single subcat, Category:Pedestrian zones of Saint Petersburg, which should simply be upmerged to Category:Car-free zones. Anomalous+0 (talk) 12:59, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Restructure tree -- The parent seems to cover at least two situations: islands (and perhaps other places) where there are no cars; and pedestrianised city streets, of which there are a lot in Category:Pedestrian malls. Mall is an Americanism, which I suspect is little used elsewhere and many of the national subcats concern pedestrianised city streets.  The equivalent to mall in UK is a shopping centre, normally purpose built and wholly under cover; this is perhaps a third class.  Perhaps the category under discussion should be renamed [:Category:Pedestrianised streets in Russia]] and become a subcat of Category:Pedestrian malls.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:12, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. MER-C 04:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Television censorship by country to Category:Television censorship
 * Nominator's rationale: No actual articles. 2 sub categories, one for China, well populated, on for Japan, with 1 article Rathfelder (talk) 21:53, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting internet censorship in taiwan


 * Nominator's rationale: Only 1 article, which barely alludes to censorship Rathfelder (talk) 20:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Of course. There is no Internet censorship in Taiwan. It is not possible. Only possible in other countries. Not Taiwan. Jidanni (talk) 00:08, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

 * 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. MER-C 05:48, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sydney new year's eve shows


 * Nominator's rationale: The individual shows were deemed not notable at this mass AfD, and were all deleted and turned into redirects to the parent article, Sydney New Year's Eve. This category consists solely of redirects to that page, which is unlikely to change given the precedent set at that AfD; therefore, this category is unnecessary (especially since Category:Sydney New Year's Eve already exists to categorize the parent article and related topics). &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:53, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
