 * Propose renaming Category:African Americans in World War II to Category:African American military personnel of World War II
 * Nominator's rationale: As per parent cats Gjs238 (talk) 19:36, 2 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Note both of these categories are modeled after Category:African Americans in the American Revolution and Category:African Americans in the American Civil War. I don't see the usefulness in limiting them to including only military personnel and note regiments or other related topics.--User:Namiba 19:48, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment If the point is to be more broad, then a subcategory should be created explicitly for military personnel. American black history during WWII wasn't limited to military service. -Indy beetle (talk) 08:35, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose This category would exclude Rosie the Riveter. African-American contributions to the war effort include people who were not in the military, be they builder of the weapons and other things needed, USO performers, non-military nurses who helped treat the wounded, people working on the Manhattan Project, some of The female mathematicians, or "computers" at the predecessor of NASA, and the list goes on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:43, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose, due to consistency with other African American war categorises and since the category also contains non-people, such as several units like 92nd Infantry Division (United States).-- Mvqr (talk) 10:58, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Presumably the solution here is to create Category:African American military personnel of World War II as a subcategory of Category:African Americans in World War II. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree Gjs238 (talk) 01:54, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * procedural question: does this mean you withdraw these two nominations? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes Gjs238 (talk) 14:53, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge all. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:06, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Daughters of monarchs to Category:Princesses
 * Propose merging Category:Sons of monarchs to Category:Princes
 * Propose merging Category:Daughters of British monarchs to Category:British princesses
 * Propose merging Category:Sons of British monarchs to Category:British princes
 * Propose merging Category:Daughters of English monarchs to Category:English princesses
 * Propose merging Category:Daughters of Japanese emperors to Category:Japanese princesses
 * Propose renaming Category:Daughters of Ottoman sultans to Category:Ottoman princesses
 * Propose merging Category:Sons of Ottoman sultans to Category:Ottoman princes
 * Propose merging Category:Daughters of kings of Saudi Arabia to Category:Saudi Arabian princesses
 * Propose merging Category:Sons of kings of Saudi Arabia to Category:Saudi Arabian princes
 * Propose merging Category:Sons of Thai monarchs to Category:Thai princes
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, this is an unnecessary fork. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:25, 2 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Support generally but a Japanese imperial daughter has recently ceased to be royal through marriage to a commoner; and Category:Princes is slightly ambiguous as the ruler of Monaco is a Prince: possibly keep in that case. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:08, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose since prince and princess are not exactly synonymous with being the children of a monarch. For instance, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are not the daughters of a monarch, but rather the granddaughters of one. Векочел (talk) 22:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Not exactly synonymous is correct, they are close enough that a distinction is not helpful at all. They are all royalty, women, and not the spouse of a monarch. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:45, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: Where would Category:Sons of emperors and Category:Daughters of emperors fit in this discussion?67.173.23.66 (talk) 05:54, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If the merge goes ahead they will have Category:Princesses and Category:Princes as their immediate parents which is perfectly fine. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose Category:Daughters of monarchs as above and because the daughters of Roman monarchs are not described as princesses (if anything it was wives). Although "close enough" may well be a reason for leaving things alone I don't think it justifies a change in categorisation towards being less descriptive. Princess covers all sorts of shapes and sizes of folk. I haven't looked at the other nominations because there is far too much unnecessary churn in categorisations to take time over. Thincat (talk) 09:39, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support On second thought, this does appear to be a fork. As for recategorising Category:Sons of monarchs and Category:Daughters of monarchs, these can simply be placed under Category:Children of monarchs, and it's perfectly acceptable for one category to contain hundreds of pages (many of them already do). Векочел (talk) 03:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * (as nom) Ok I notice there are some valid objections against merging the top categories right now, so I will strike these. The objections do not apply to the above country subcategories though because, e.g., the United Kingdom is a monarchy with princes and princesses to begin with.

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  15:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting


 * Nominator's rationale: This goes with . Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting, this template/category pair was created without prior approval, and the category is also misnamed - it should have been if approved (see WikiProject Stub sorting/Naming conventions). The cat has only four member articles, rather than the 60 that we ask for; and despite asking for more, five weeks later there has been no suggestion of further potential candiates for this stub template.  Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 09:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. This is the quintessential reason about why it's the best idea to go through WP:WPSS/P before creating stub cats. Curbon7 (talk) 20:22, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
