 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only one member. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:46, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Hatnote templates for user pages to Category:Hatnote templates
 * Delete (me the creator). -DePiep (talk) 05:14, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete.  ✗  plicit  14:13, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Inappropriate personal userspace category. It baffles me that this has remained undetected since 2012. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:41, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting michael barera userspace
 * Delete per nom. User:力 (powera, π,  ν ) 03:04, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete following multiple precedents. Perhaps it would be worth reviewing categories that are in and have no other parents. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:16, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I found this by looking for categories that contained the term "users" (which I was looking for on the grounds that many of them are misnamed user categories that should use the term "Wikipedians" instead). * Pppery * it has begun... 15:03, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I just cleaned up ~100 categories only parented to Category:Hidden categories and another ~50 which had only Category:Hidden categories and a CatAutoTOC tracking category. There are 19 left:
 * Category:Top-level domains of government in New Jersey, Category:Articles with unsourced statements from 2021, Category:Articles with a niche SPS section in Further Reading, Category:Upcoming MMA fights and Category:Bird pages with an information box for key measurements are empty or about to become empty, so don't need any action.
 * I was reverted when adding the appropriate parent category to Category:Wikipedia articles containing unlinked shortened footnotes for unclear reasons.
 * Category:NIH Women Scientists Project, Category:Articles created or expanded during Women's History Month (India) - 2014 and Category:Articles created or expanded during Women's History Month (India) - 2015, and Category:Kumusha are "Articles by editathon" categories. Is there a parent category for these? I couldn't find it.
 * The remaining 8 are Category:Comics image categories with Commons galleries, Category:British Isles Discussion, Category:Page reports, Category:Page reports requests, Category:Pages that should not be manually archived, Category:Wikipedia trolled content, and Category:Wikipedia medicine articles ready to translate, and Category:Ulmus articles with images where I could not think of a good parent category for. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:51, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I'd like to be able to keep my user pages together in one place. Michael Barera (talk) 18:19, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, user pages can be found together under one's own account without the need of a category. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: The scheme for television series set in the more distant future appears to go by decades not individual years. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Television series set in 2089 to Category:Television series set in the 2080s
 * Comment Could we add Category:Video games set in 2089 to this nomination? Liz Read! Talk! 22:19, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Good suggestion, but since there are a few other "video games set in XXXX" categories, it might be best to bundle those together in a separate nomination. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 05:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:33, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge When it comes to works set in the future, almost any year is interchangeable with any other made-up number. Nonetheless, sorting by decade is still useful up to the end of the 21st century, since this includes different kinds of works set in the near future. –LaundryPizza<b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 01:01, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:43, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: As per MOS:TIES. The Marshallese football federation is called the Marshall Islands Soccer Federation, and they use "soccer" to refer to association football on their Facebook page. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 17:13, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Football in the Marshall Islands to Category:Soccer in the Marshall Islands
 * Rename as a US dependency or such like, the American usage "soccer" should be used, as this is not about American football. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:23, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename per Marshall Islands Soccer Federation. Oculi (talk) 19:57, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: This category only has one page. Luis9595 (talk) 14:02, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Rugby union players from High Wycombe to Category:Rugby union players from Buckinghamshire
 * Keep/neutral Only having one page in the category isn't a suitable reason for merging. Looks like the category was created on the birthplace of the person in that category. Not against merging here, but don't really see an issue with this category. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:35, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Upmerge until such time that we have a handful of articles (unless a search turns up more... I'll have a look). Grutness... wha?   01:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've doubled it to two articles. Still not enough. Grutness... wha?   01:10, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Category:Baronies of Fingal
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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: rename to Category:Baronies in Fingal. No strong opposition to the move itself, and discussion about the merits of keeping the cat should probably be the subject of another discussion.  bibliomaniac  1  5  05:12, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: They are not really "of" Fingal since the baronies were created prior to the creation of Fingal as as county. Rather they are baronies that are located within the bounds of the county (either wholly or partially). For almost every other county of Ireland, a county was sub-divided into a specific number of baronies that were formerly used for local administration. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Baronies of Fingal to Category:Baronies in Fingal
 * There's no need for the category at all. Baronies were subdivisions of the traditional counties like County Dublin. The administrative county of Fingal was created in 1994 without regard for the earlier baronies, as many of them straddle Fingal's boundary. ~Asarlaí 15:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Reply As a county of Ireland, Fingal has as much validity for a first-level country sub-division as does County Dublin or County Cork. As the nomination states, the scope is appropriate to things in the county rather than things that are or were intrinsic (of) to the county. But Asarlai & I have rehearsed these arguments many times. Laurel Lodged (talk) 18:32, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment -- as I am not Irish, I am reluctant to vote, but the whole category seems anachronistic. However, I wonder whether we should not merge back to Category:Baronies in County Dublin on the basis that baronies became defunct administrative entities long before the present County Fingal was created in 1994.  I note that there is a sibling category for those in Dublin (city).  Peterkingiron (talk) 20:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
