 * Nominator's rationale: Only one article. It appears that all relevant parent cats. are already present in the article. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Little room for growth since it's such a small cay. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:13, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: will never contain anything other than the one article in the category, unnecessary categorisation. Richard3120 (talk) 16:58, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment This was a good-faith creation by me a few years ago. I would prefer that it be kept, but I understand it is in conflict with WP:OCEPON. —Bruce1eetalk 08:36, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Macedonia and international organisations

 * The result of the discussion was: rename all per expanded nomination. (Note: I did participate in this discussion, so I am WP:INVOLVED ... but since every comment supports the proposal, this is an undisputed case per WP:INVOLVED. So I am closing now as part of an effort to clear the big CFD backlog.) -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:53, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming:


 * Category:Heads of Mission of the Republic of Macedonia to NATO to Category:Heads of Mission of North Macedonia to NATO
 * Category:Permanent Representatives of the Republic of Macedonia to the United Nations to Category:Permanent Representatives of North Macedonia to the United Nations
 * Category:Ambassadors of the Republic of Macedonia to the European Union to Category:Ambassadors of North Macedonia to the European Union
 * Related categories added to original nomination:
 * Category:Republic of Macedonia and the United Nations to Category:North Macedonia and the United Nations
 * Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning the Republic of Macedonia to Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning North Macedonia
 * Category:Republic of Macedonia–European Union relations to Category:North Macedonia–European Union relations
 * Category:Ambassadors of the European Union to the Republic of Macedonia to Category:Ambassadors of the European Union to North Macedonia


 * Nominator's rationale: for consistency within Category:Ambassadors of North Macedonia. At WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 16, the nomination excluded categories which refer to the participation of the country in international organisations such as the United Nations, which sometimes uses a name different to the name chosen by Wikipedia's naming policies. However, the UN immediately adopted the new name, see this citation from the main article: "On Thursday afternoon, the UN Protocol and Liaison Service announced the official switch over within the UN, from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to the new name of North Macedonia." NATO  and EU  are also using it. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:25, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support. As noted above, I excluded these from the mass nomination of 650 categories at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 16.  That was because usage with those organisations has been hotly disputed, and i thought it best that these formerly v controversial categories be given individual consideration.
 * The evidence presented by @Fayenatic london demonstrates that all three international organisations have updated their usage to adopt the new time created as a result of the Prespa agreement. So I think that the case for renaming is clear.
 * Thanks for FL for doing the research, and for being so nice about my pedantic oppose of doing this via speedy. These international orgs were kinda the epicentre of the now-resolved dispute, so I think that being cautious and bringing it to full discussion was best.
 * However, I note that there are parent and sibling categories which should also be renamed: Category:Republic of Macedonia and the United Nations Category:United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning the Republic of Macedonia, Category:Republic of Macedonia–European Union relations, Category:Ambassadors of the European Union to the Republic of Macedonia. Would you like to add them to the nom, @FL?-- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:15, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Gladly. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:29, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support all - there seems to be very little actual Wikipedian opposition to the change from 'Republic of Macedonia' to 'North Macedonia'. Oculi (talk) 10:22, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support all, consistent with actual usage of the name "North Macedonia" in these organizations. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:21, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support seems entirely legit, based on the general acceptance of the new nomenclature. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:40, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support all but there should be a headnote explaining that it includes the period before the change of name. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge one, delete others per nominator. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:40, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Mosques in Sri Lanka by city to Category:Mosques in Sri Lanka and Category:Mosques by city
 * Propose deleting Category:Mosques in Sri Lanka by district
 * Propose deleting Category:Mosques in Colombo District‎
 * Propose deleting Category:Mosques in Sri Lanka by province
 * Propose deleting Category:Mosques in Western Province, Sri Lanka‎
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge redundant category layer, with only one subcategory for the capital of the country. The district and province categories are also container categories containing only one subcategory, ultimately only for the mosques of the capital of the country. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support, redundant layers. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: upmerge. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Coptic Catholics to Category:Coptic Catholic Church and Category:Eastern Catholics by church
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge as a redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Note that the majority of Coptic Christians is not Catholic but Oriental Orthodox. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Aceh Medal
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * According to the Aceh Medal article, "All soldiers participating in the First Aceh Expedition and/or the first six months of the Second Aceh Expedition were entitled award of the medal." We generally avoid categorizing by campaign medals because it creates clutter for career officers. While a lot of soldiers must have received this award, the category only contains one article which I added ("listified"?) here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Background We've deleted similar categories for campaign medals from other countries here, here, here, here, here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * By All Means - Too much clutter, too little time. :( Anomalous+0 (talk) 11:09, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Plain delete -- Campaign medals are awarded for being there and are inherently NN. Unusually, I doubt that we need to listify.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:35, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
