 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:24, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Upper Mesopotamia under the Abbasid Caliphate to Category:Medieval Upper Mesopotamia and Category:Iraq under the Abbasid Caliphate
 * Nominator's rationale: purge and merge remnant, the larger amount of articles in this category consist of heads of the Syriac Orthodox Church settled in Antioch, so they are unrelated to the Abbasid Caliphate and they are not particularly about the region of Upper Mesopotamia. After purging the few articles left can be upmerged. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose quite a few of the articles are not of heads of the Syriac Church, however, and the region's history as part of the Abbasid empire is quite distinct to its history under the autonomous dynasties that followed it. Also, given that early Islamic history is generally not well covered in WP, it is a category with considerable room for expansion in content. Constantine  ✍  14:02, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In fact the few history articles in this category are about the second half of the 9th century when Upper Mesopotamia started to gain autonomy from the Abbasid Empire, so in that respect they are not very different from the period that followed.

 * The result of the discussion was: delete parent, rename alumni category. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Lawrence College Ghora Gali to Category:Lawrence College, Murree
 * Propose renaming Category:Lawrence College Ghora Gali alumni to Category:Lawrence College, Murree alumni
 * Nominator's rationale: See page history; Lawrence College Ghora Gali was moved to Lawrence College, Murree in July 2014, and it's been at that location since. I can't envision a reason for article and category not to use the same name in this situation.  Nyttend backup (talk) 18:18, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy Per WP:C2D, Consistency with main article's name. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:56, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Rename the alumni per nom, but delete parent Category:Lawrence College Ghora Gali per WP:SMALLCAT. It contains only the head article and the alumni subcat, which are adequately interlinked. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:28, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy deleted per WP:G7. Created by me to fill a redlink, and since it's no longer needed I have deleted it. (@Muhandes, in future just tag empty categories with db-c1). -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting singlechart usages for germany22


 * Nominator's rationale: Was probably created by mistake, there was one erroneous usage of "German22". There is no need to track this bogus usage. Muhandes (talk) 16:12, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting association football player-coaches


 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary overcategorisation. We don't have a category for football coaches (assistants, as opposed to head coaches / managers), and even if we did there would be no need to further subcategorise by the player-coach role, which is an entirely unremarkable one held by many senior players. Jellyman (talk) 07:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Nzd   (talk)  11:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment I created this based on, but can't say I have particularly strong feelings either way. Nzd   (talk)  11:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, who might also wish to nominate and subcats as well. GiantSnowman 12:04, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting lawrence alma-tadema


 * Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a person without the volume of spinoff content needed to warrant one -- all that's here is his bog-standard "Paintings by" category, his biographical article itself, and one article about an art historian who's studied him (and is thus also a misfiling, because that represents categorization by association rather than Alma-Tadena being a defining characteristic of the historian). As always, every person with a biographical article does not automatically get one of these just because there are a few other related articles -- the test for needing one of these is if there's a lot of spinoff content that needs eponym-related categorization, but the necessary volume is not present here. Bearcat (talk) 00:07, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete for Now My subjective interpretation of WP:OCEPON is 5 direct articles and there's only two here with little room for growth. No objection to recreating if I'm mistaken and 3 more articles ever appear RevelationDirect (talk) 00:59, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
