 * The result of the discussion was: merge. The target category was not nominated for deletion. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:23, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional characters with dissociative identity disorder to Category:Fictional characters with multiple personalities
 * Nominator's rationale: Your reason(s) for the proposed merger: The category Fictional characters with multiple personalities, better encompasses the characters that are relevant to these categories, and the category mentioned is much more finalized, with this one being empty. I believe it would be beneficial to merge them together. TruthSeekerSeven (talk) 22:22, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Besides a too precise diagnosis of a fictional characters is likely to become a WP:OR issue. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete both Many psychologists think these disorders largely do not exist at all, there is no reason to categorize by this.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fictional characters have whatever attributes their authors give them. Since most characters don't have this attribute or its absence even mentioned it's likely not notable. "Call me Ishmael; by the way I won't tell you whether I have dissociative identity disorder, just so Wikipedia can't categorize me." Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:47, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Multiple personalities are a notable topic in fiction, dissociative identity disorder is not often used. Dimadick (talk) 16:44, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:People from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles. (non-admin closure) Asmodea Oaktree (talk) 16:14, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Actresses from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles to Category:Actresses from Los Angeles / Category:People from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles
 * Propose merging Category:Male actors from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles to Category:Male actors from Los Angeles / Category:People from Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles
 * Nominator's rationale: Sherman Oaks is a neighborhood of Los Angeles. Per WP:OCLOCATION, these combinations of occupation/neighborhood of residence are non-defining. User:Namiba 14:18, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge Both it is understood that LA has a higher density of notable people in acting, but the multiple neighborhoods they have lived in would create immense category clutter. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting medieval eleans


 * Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic. The category apparently means to refer to medieval people from Elis (regional unit). The two people in the category are already in an appropriate Category:Principality of Achaea subcategory; Elis was part of that principality. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:48, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom: The two articles can be moved to the parent category Category:Medieval Elis. Gjs238 (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, Elis is not a defining characteristic of these people. They are from the Principality of Achaea. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose merging
 * Category:Mayors of Davao City to Category:Mayors of places in Davao del Sur and Category:People from Davao City
 * Category:Mayors of General Santos to Category:Mayors of places in South Cotabato and Category:People from General Santos
 * Category:Mayors of Naga, Camarines Sur to Category:Mayors of places in Camarines Sur and Category:People from Naga, Camarines Sur

 * Category:Mayors of Ronda, Cebu to Category:Mayors of places in Cebu
 * Category:Mayors of Toledo, Cebu to Category:Mayors of places in Cebu
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one or two articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:04, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge for Now While these places have presumably had more than five mayors, most would be non-notable. No objection to recreating any that exceed expectations and get up to 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Category:Young Achievers Award winners

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:20, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Young Achievers Award winners
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
 * The Young Achievers Award is an Ugandan competition which "provides an opportunity for people to work together to address national developmental challenges" and there are about 12 winning categories per year. I'm sure winning it was defining for these promising young people, but Wikipedia doesn't have articles on promising young people. By the time these people are notable, the award is no longer defining and only gets a passing mention in the education or awards section of articles for TV host Flavia Tumusiime, chess player Phiona Mutesi or any others you want to click on. The current contents are already listified here in a separate list article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Truman Scholars
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
 * The Harry S. Truman Scholarship is an American scholarship for undergraduate college students interested in public service, usually at least one from each of the 50 states per year. I'm sure the award was defining for those promising young people, but Wikipedia doesn't have articles on promising young people. By the time these people are notable, the award is no longer defining and only gets a passing mention in the education or awards section of articles like Susan Rice, George Stephanopoulos or any others you want to click on. The current contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete there is no reason to categorize people by a specific scholarship they got. This if taken to its logical conclusion would lead to way more categories than is needed.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:27, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
