Category:1210s architecture

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting 1210s architecture
 * Propose deleting 1217 architecture
 * Propose deleting 1299 architecture
 * Nominator's rationale: Decade categories before 1500 were merged, see e.g. Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_March_17. These are the only exceptions left in Category:Architecture by decade / Category:Architecture by decade. The contents are already within Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1217 / 1219 / 1299, so no merge is necessary. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:00, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Support, apart from articles about buildings and structures (in their own tree) there are too few articles about 13th-century architecture to merit separate decade and year categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Category:Internet companies of Denmark

 * 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 10:03, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Internet companies of Denmark to Category:Information technology companies of Denmark
 * Nominator's rationale: Only content is Category:Internet service providers of Denmark‎ Rathfelder (talk) 20:15, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Support essentially per WP:SMALLCAT. The latter guideline has an exception rule but I do not think it applies here. We currently have an incomplete tree of internet companies with only 35 countries and it looks this number will only get smaller just by lack of relevant content (see e.g. Iranian nomination on top of this page). The SMALLCAT exception rule aims to prevent ripping out one country from an otherwise healthy tree, but this is not a healthy tree anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:17, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I am busy pruning this tree. I think "Internet companies" is too ambiguous to be the basis of a category.  But I dont think I understand the terminology well enough to navigate through all the surrounding undergrowth.Rathfelder (talk) 12:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia vital articles by quality

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 10:04, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia vital articles by quality to Category:Wikipedia Version 1.0 vital articles by quality
 * Propose renaming Category:FA-Class vital articles to Category:FA-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:A-Class vital articles to Category:A-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:GA-Class vital articles to Category:GA-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:B-Class vital articles to Category:B-Class Version 1.0 vital articles

 * Propose renaming Category:Start-Class vital articles to Category:Start-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:Stub-Class vital articles to Category:Stub-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:FL-Class vital articles to Category:FL-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:List-Class vital articles to Category:List-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:NA-Class vital articles to Category:NA-Class Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Propose renaming Category:Unassessed vital articles to Category:Unassessed Version 1.0 vital articles
 * Nominator's rationale: These categories are not populated by the Vital article banner but by WP1.0, so for clarity of purpose they should be renamed accordingly. If successful it would also require this change to the template. PC78 (talk) 18:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Question: are there Versions other than 1.0? As the answer is no, then Oppose as unnecessarily lengthening category names to no purpose. There is no confusion to clear up; and confusion may well be added by the specification "1.0" where there is no "1.5" or "2.0" to look for. (why the heck offline release is labeled "version 1.0" is another subject.) Killer Chihuahua 14:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think you missed the point of the nom. These categories are populated by the WP1.0 banner and are therefore specific to the WP:1.0 project. They are not the same categories used by WP:VA hence they are ambiguous and their purpose should be made clear. There is nothing "unnecessary" about it. PC78 (talk) 17:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You're correct, I misread the nom, or misunderstood. Support per nom (and handy dandy clarification) Killer Chihuahua 17:31, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, perhaps I didn't make the nom clear enough. PC78 (talk) 17:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject Vital Articles collaborations

 * 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 09:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting previous wikiproject vital articles collaborations


 * Propose deleting current vital article collaborations


 * Propose deleting previous vital article collaborations


 * Nominator's rationale: Empty and unused categories. WikiProject Vital Articles/Collaboration was set up in 2009 but hasn't been touched since then, and I have marked the page as "historical" accordingly. These associated categories are therefore not needed and should be deleted as a matter of routine housekeeping. C1 was declined though, so bringing them here. PC78 (talk) 15:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Support as admin who declined speedy; categories of a defunct (for 10 years now!) project are unnecessary. Killer Chihuahua 14:25, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 09:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:United States internet company stubs to Category:United States online company stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: The vast majority are not internet companies. Rathfelder (talk) 10:58, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Support As was established in yesterday’s discussion (and probably elsewhere), this is an issue of nomenclature, rather than notability or anything: They’re online companies, as you said, not ISPs. KirkCliff2 (talk) 16:13, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support much more accurate. Killer Chihuahua 15:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting terrorcons


 * Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization of minor fictional in-universe traits. No need to upmerge because all articles are covered within the same category structure. TTN (talk) 10:49, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete, yes, this time the contents are also directly in the sole parent Category:Decepticons. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:01, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:58, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Internet companies of Hong Kong to Category:Internet companies of China
 * Nominator's rationale: only content is Internet service providers of Hong Kong‎ . Rathfelder (talk) 10:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - the nom takes ‎ out of the other parents: Category:Internet in Hong Kong, Category:Telecommunications companies of Hong Kong. Oculi (talk) 11:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed we should put it in those categories. Rathfelder (talk) 16:08, 24 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Triple merge per nom and Oculi. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge as nominated. The nominator has since added the sub-cat directly to those other parents, so if that does not change before closing, a simple merge will now suffice. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:07, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:37, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
