 * The result of the discussion was: merge.  bibliomaniac  1  5  17:47, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Jain studies to Category:Jainism
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:15, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:17, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge while "Jain studies" are clearly a dinstict thing from Jainism, just as an religious studies field where a subject is approached primarily from a socialogical perspective is distinct from the actual practice of that religion as a set of religious beliefs, Since this at the present acts only to hold the category Category:Scholars of Jainism, there is no real reason to have this as a seperate category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:30, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Category:Branches of meteorology

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:38, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Branches of meteorology to Category:Branches of atmospheric sciences
 * Nominator's rationale: it includes some branches of climatology, e.g. bioclimatology in addition to biometeorology. fgnievinski (talk) 00:19, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Totally Against: You don't change a whole category for ONE article (Bioclimatology) as biometeorology is an article about meteorology. It is more logical to keep Category:Branches of meteorology and transfer any climatological articles to Category:Branches of climatology, and then put those two categories as sub-categories of "Category:Branches of atmospheric sciences". This way you keep the proper interwiki links for the former category. Pierre cb (talk) 03:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There are other instances, such as space weather/space climate. If we do as you say, we'd end up with two small sibling categories, Category:Branches of climatology and Category:Branches of meteorology. Most importantly, we'd not avoid creating the parent Category:Branches of atmospheric sciences here proposed. fgnievinski (talk) 07:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural Comment I can't recall keeping interwiki links every having been a justification to keep a category name in CFD before but I appreciate your new perspective. We have a process for category redirects (WP:R) that could potentially maintain the link after a rename if if there was consensus to do so but would have to automatically point to a single target cat in WP:HOTCAT. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * N.B. I don't want to avoid creating Category:Branches of atmospheric sciences (read carefully my comment), I am just pointing to a more logical way to create a category tree of Atmospheric sciences specialties which is a set of different branches (atmospheric physics and chemistry, meteorology, climatology) that can have their own categories if needed under that umbrella.

 * The result of the discussion was: split (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:20, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Programs of the University of Southern California to Category:Radio stations of the University of Southern California and Category:University of Southern California
 * Nominator's rationale: This category contains one radio program, six radio stations and one award. It does not belong in the parent Category:University programs. – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:25, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
