Category:Nature sanctuaries

 * 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: disperse and delete (this is a case of WP:SHAREDNAME). – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:40, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting nature sanctuaries


 * Nominator's rationale: redirect to Category:Nature reserves and disperse the content of the category among the tree of Category:Nature reserves. The only thing that distinguishes the content of this category from Category:Nature reserves is the word sanctuary. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:27, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Imams (worship leaders) to Category:Imams
 * Propose merging Category:Sunni imams (worship leaders) to Category:Sunni imams

Category:Sanctuaries

 * 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 16:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sanctuaries


 * Nominator's rationale: turn into a disambiguation page, the three subcategories have nothing in common with each other except for the word sanctuary. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:18, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Sanctuary means a holy place. By extension it was a place of refuge from persecution, either of asylum or where justice could be done properly.  We have a mixture of Greek temples, places of asylum, and some Peruvian sites whose status as sanctuaries is not clear.  The nom is also suggesting that nature sanctuaries should be merged into nature reserves (which I support) and I assume will be implemented.  I wonder whether we need a split between Category:Sanctuaries (religious sites) and Category:Sanctuaries (refuges).  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:24, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * We may create new subcategories, but that is unrelated to this proposal. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:03, 7 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. We already have Category:Nature sanctuaries and Category:Religious sanctuaries which are subcategories of this one. While the word origin of both types of sanctuaries is the same, these types of entities don't have enough in common to justify a common category for both. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:03, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 20:18, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Soy Luna characters to Category:Soy Luna
 * Nominator's rationale: One article, upmerge to all three categories. TTN (talk) 11:46, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * the second parent category is a container category (no articles), please check. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:12, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Category:Livestock guardians

 * 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: split to Category:Livestock guardian dogs. Note: I will implement this by a rename and then re-create the parent. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:23, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose containerization livestock guardians


 * Nominator's rationale: Current livestock guardians category is largely focused on livestock guardian dogs and a number of non-dog livestock guardian animals are not included in it and under the broader Category:Working animals category. Creating a new category for livestock guardian dogs within the broader livestock guardians would make it more clear that these other species should be included in the broader category. Wcconey (First time submitting a cfd request, so might have messed up in specific type of request (containerization versus splitting?).) 11:19, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - present category is clearly intended for dogs, as it is a subcat of and per its criteria. However I see that Mule is included. Easiest is to create, move dogs into it and leave non-canines out of it. Oculi (talk) 12:13, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep -- It also has goose and llama. Those articles would have to be moved to Category:Non-canine livestock guardians.  Despite the incongruity, I see no great harm in leaving it as it is.  Life is complicated and it is not always possible to fit things into precise categories.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support alt1 per Oculi. We normally create categories for what the items in the category are, not for what they are not (as in non-canine). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:16, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support Oculi’s proposal, move all of the dog breeds into a new category. Cavalryman (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2020 (UTC).
 * Support Oculi rationale.  William Harris Canis lupis track.svg talk Canis lupis track.svg 11:56, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Category:Shopping malls in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

 * 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: keep. Perhaps the suggested category could be added as a parent to the current category. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:20, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Shopping malls in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Category:Shopping malls in the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan statistical area
 * Nominator's rationale: Not all of these are in Harrisburg proper. Colonial Park Mall is in Lower Paxton Township, and Lebanon Valley Mall is in Lebanon. There are also malls in other cities in this MSA that either have articles (York Galleria, North Hanover Mall) or potential for articles. I have found some potential sources to cover a defunct mall in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and I know of several other malls in this MSA that could potentially have articles. Extending this category to cover the entire MSA would allow for a greater reach. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:42, 4 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose, for consistency, we normally categorize by city or by first-level country subdivision. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:20, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Then explain Category:Shopping malls in the Miami metropolitan area and all the other "X metropolitan area" categories just like it. Harrisburg proper only has two malls which means this would be WP:OCAT; extending to a clearly defined MSA would allow it to be more inclusive and sizeable while taking the strain off Category:Shopping malls in Pennsylvania. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:31, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * As you see, Category:Miami metropolitan area is very incomplete in comparison with Category:Miami. I am opposing creating a metropolitan category at the cost of a city category, to be precise. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:01, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: This category was created by mistake. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 00:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
