 * The result of the discussion was: soft delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:43, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting 2.82812 hyperbolic volume knots and links
 * Nominator's rationale: There are finitely many knots for any given hyperbolic volume, so this category possibly fails WP:SMALLCAT. This is the only category of its kind, despite the existence of a parent category. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 12:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge all.  bibliomaniac  1  5  04:37, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting sri lankan malay people by occupation
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay diplomats to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay educators to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay lawyers to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay military personnel to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay physicians to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay politicians to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan Malay sportspeople to Category:Sri Lankan Malays
 * Nominator's rationale: These are non-notable intersections per WP:OCEGRS. They are also very small, containing between 1 and 8 articles. User:Namiba 16:15, 5 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment If you are going to do this you need to merge into the relevant occupational categories (Category:Sri Lankan people by occupation) as well, otherwise the category tree structure that has been built up over many years will be destroyed by the monoculturalist dogma that we can't categorise anything by ethnicity in Wikipedia.--Obi2canibe (talk) 12:56, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * T. B. Jayah is the only article in the diplomats, educators, and lawyers category. All of the articles in the above categories are already in appropriate Sri Lankan categories.--User:Namiba 20:01, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom, these categories are unrelated intersections. It is not true that we can't categorise anything by ethnicity. We can diffuse by characteristics that are related to ethnicity, e.g. Category:Sri Lankan Malay activists could be very appropriate if there are activists advocating the civil rights of the Malay community. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:52, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom, unless there is evidence that the work of people in these occupations was impacted by their ethnicity. Rathfelder (talk) 19:54, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
