Category:The Disciples of Apocalypse

 * 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 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting the disciples of apocalypse


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. This was a short-lived wrestling stable. There were only 4 members and it cannot grow larger, so also violated WP:SMALLCAT.User:Namiba 12:54, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - I nominated this previously at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_June_22 and I am not really sure why it wasn't deleted before. -  Galatz גאליץ שיחה Talk  18:38, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Category:AAP

 * 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 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting aap


 * Nominator's rationale: redirect from a highly ambiguous title (see dab page AAP). This is a recipe for miscategorisation: if an editor adds  Category:AAP to an article, intending to refer to some other meaning of AAP, the bots will "correct" it to Category:Aam Aadmi Party ... and the editor who added the category won't know unless they watch the page.

Category:Achaemenid satraps of Parthia

 * 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 Timrollpickering (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Achaemenid satraps of Parthia to Category:Satraps of the Achaemenid Empire and Category:Parthia
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category, and the section Parthia gives the impression that not much is known about this period of Parthian history, for sure it does not contain a list of satraps. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:43, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Category:Order of Vytautas the Great

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Order of Vytautas the Great to Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Lithuania
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the eponymous article and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge - Subject of the category isn't really big enough to have it's own category. It only has the eponymous article and a subcategory, proving this fact. Kori das 📣 20:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge per nomAsmodea Oaktree (talk) 16:21, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Category:Roman amphitheaters in Africa Proconsularis

 * 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 Timrollpickering (talk) 18:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Roman amphitheaters in Africa Proconsularis to Category:Roman amphitheaters in North Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Roman amphitheaters in Mauretania Tingitana‎ to Category:Roman amphitheaters in North Africa
 * Propose merging Category:Roman amphitheaters in Cyrenaica to Category:Roman amphitheaters in North Africa
 * Nominator's rationale: merge for consistency, these are the only amphitheaters categories that are diffused by ancient Roman provinces. More generally, most Roman buildings categories are organized by modern geography. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Having checked that there are no amphitheatre articles in Crete, this can go ahead. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support No need to divide by Roman provinces instead of geography. Dimadick (talk) 07:32, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Elections in Hokkaido Prefecture to Category:Politics of Hokkaido
 * Nominator's rationale: merge as a redundant category layer, it only contains a template and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Works about LGBT topics

 * 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: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Works about LGBT topics to Category:LGBT-related mass media
 * Propose merging Category:Works about same-sex sexuality to Category:LGBT-related mass media
 * Propose merging Category:Works about bisexuality to Category:Bisexuality-related mass media
 * Propose merging Category:Works about lesbians to Category:Lesbian-related mass media
 * Propose merging Category:Works about same-sex marriage to Category:Same-sex marriage in popular culture‎
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OVERLAPCAT. A separate Works category is useful in case there also e.g. works of art involved, or when there is enough content to have a separate topic and a set category, but neither is the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose - books are works but not mass media (first 4). As for the last one, I much prefer the specific 'Works about X' to the vague 'X in popular culture'. Oculi (talk) 00:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Of course you are right about books. Withdraw nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Category:Greater Reading

 * 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.

I checked a sample of articles in the two subcats, and they all seem to be adequately categorised in other ways, so I see no need for any merges. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting:
 * greater reading
 * Category:Places in Greater Reading
 * Category:Transport in Greater Reading
 * Nominator's rationale: "Greater Reading" appears to be an informal area around Reading, Berkshire, with no defined boundaries. The page Greater Reading is a disambiguation page, and the term "Greater Reading" is not mentioned in the articles Reading, Berkshire or Berkshire.


 * Delete per nom. The articles in Category:Places in Greater Reading are mostly suburbs of Reading and already in Category:Suburbs of Reading, Berkshire. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Category:Egyptian

 * 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 15:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting egyptian


 * Nominator's rationale: redirect from a highly ambiguous title (see dab page Egyptian). This is a recipe for miscategorisation: if an editor adds  Category:Egyptian to an article on an Egyptian food or artwork or landform, the bots will "correct" it to Category:Egyptian people ... and the editor who added the category won't know unless they watch the page.

Category:Dominican literature

 * 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.

Dominican literature is a disambiguation page, because the title can also refer to the literature of Dominica  or to the literature of the Dominican Republic. if the category is renamed, the title should be re-cretaed as a Category disambiguation page. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:47, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Dominican literature to Category:Literature of the Dominican Order
 * Nominator's rationale: to clarify scope.


 * Rename per nom, or merge to Category:Dominican Order and Category:Monastic literature per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. To reflect current contents. Dimadick (talk) 07:34, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
