 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting stack of states or countries
 * Nominator's rationale: It's unclear what this is meant to be. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Incomprehensible, may qualify for speedy deletion per G1 or G2 or G3. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 17:54, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - it is the only contribution of its creator, who seems to have joined Wikipedia specifically to bring Stack of States to our attention, in particular Senegal. Oculi (talk) 11:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: No Consensus - jc37 15:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Nihilist works to Category:Works about nihilism
 * Nominator's rationale: These categories appear to be completely identical in purpose, and as far as I can tell have no reason to be separate. Yitz (talk) 22:30, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. --Just N. (talk) 19:49, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose, Category:Nihilist works contains works from a nihilist point of view, but not necessarily about nihilism, while Category:Works about nihilism contains works from an outsider point of view about nihilism. The two categories are equally different as Category:Antisemitic works and Category:Works about antisemitism. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Category:Albums recorded in Nepal

 * 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.  ✗  plicit  04:56, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting albums recorded in nepal
 * Nominator's rationale: Typically, the Category:Albums by country of recording location scheme has been to serve as parent container categories for albums that have been recorded at a notable studio or venue, because what country an album happened to recorded in is not a defining aspect of the album.

 * Delete per nom.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:47, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose As Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries the category has some attraction. What is possible in music or ethnography recordings in such a country? I think it is DEFINING for the records and even more for the country. --Just N. (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * How is it defining to the album in this category? Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 21:29, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:25, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Transportation in the Visayas - jc37 15:44, 1 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Transportation in Visayas to Category:Transportation in the Visayas
 * Nominator's rationale: "The". The Visayas are an island group. — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 07:43, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

@hueman1, this could have been proposed as a speedy rename per WP:C2C. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:49, 10 July 2021 (UTC) Hope that helps. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 14:06, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Alt to Category:Transportation in the Visayan Islands for clarity. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:05, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Support per Visayas, and all other relevant subcats of . Oculi (talk) 19:35, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom to Category:Transportation in the Visayas, and per the convention of the subcats of Category:Visayas, which is "the Visayas" (not "the Visayan Islands", as proposed in the ALT1).
 * Oh, sorry. Does Twinkle have a tool to automate these requests? — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 13:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob, @hueman1. Yes, Twinkle does have a tool.  Same start as before: Twinkle → XFD.  Then in the first drop-down menu, where it says "CFD (Categories for discussion)", select the next item "CFD/S (Categories for speedy renaming)".
 * Oh yeah, I remember now. Thanks! — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 14:10, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Seems the fitting wording. --Just N. (talk) 20:09, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Rail transport in the Philippines by city to Category:Rail transportation in the Philippines by city
 * Nominator's rationale: Philippine English; main cat uses transportation as well. — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 07:40, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Support per Rail transportation in the Philippines, Category:Rail transportation in the Philippines, Category:Transportation in the Philippines, Transportation in the Philippines. Oculi (talk) 19:39, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge.  ✗  plicit  04:56, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Hinduism in Mangalore to Category:Religion in Mangalore
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Category:Films about Blond hair

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:50, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting films about blond hair
 * Nominator's rationale: Are these films really "about" blond hair? As far as I can see, most are just films that have "blond"/"blonde" in the title. (In that sense, it's overcategorization by shared name.) And is hardly a valid subcategory – not all films about Monroe are about her hair. If kept, rename to . Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:21, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. If I wanted to nit-pick I'd also point out that every one of those films references blonde hair rather than blond hair, though that's because of it being a (very rare in English) gendered adjective. Can't see a reason for keeping this category. Grutness... wha?   04:48, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hehe, nit. Hair. Well, I laughed....  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:34, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Accidental pun :) Grutness... wha?   16:23, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Absolutely trivial. --Just N. (talk) 20:12, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. This category is a combination of WP:TRIVIALCAT, WP:SHAREDNAME and WP:NONDEFINING. --Animalparty! (talk) 03:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:53, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting composer-politicians
 * Nominator's rationale: We don't categorize politicians by every occupation. There are, however, a few subcategories of for combinations that are recognized cultural topics. We have ,, and . I don't think "composer-politicians" are the same as these.   Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:19, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Possible hoax — none of the three articles mention any political career. –Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 17:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per WP:OCTRIVIA. The intersection of composers and politicians is not of itself an encyclopedic topic. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 13:41, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
