 * The result of the discussion was: Moved to CFDS. This seems to have slipped through the cracks.. (non-admin closure) Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:16, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Outer space themed songs to Category:Songs about outer space
 * Nominator's rationale: Most of the parent and child categories follow the "Songs about ____" naming convention, so I see no need for this one to be different Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 21:52, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Category:Descendants of Shia Imams

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  20:54, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting descendants of shia imams
 * Nominator's rationale: delete, trivial characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment -- The Imams were the Muslim rulers, so that this is the equivalent of a royal family category, but it needs to be more closely defined so that it is limited to close family of ruling Imams. We have in the past deleted categories for descendants of British kings and queens, because there are too many of them.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:19, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think this is a misunderstanding: an imam is a religious leader, not a ruler, the category is certainly not the equivalent of a royal family category. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:41, 10 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as overly broad, and badly defined. Even if we are to take the narrow definition of the Twelve Imams as the imams in question, the amount of people claiming descent is close to innumerable. The current category contains many 20th century people, whereas the 12 Imams ended over a thousand years ago. If we define imams as any imam, the category is basically half the people alive today.-- Mvqr (talk) 12:41, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting hawkeye (2021 tv series) episodes
 * Nominator's rationale: Beyond being misnamed, this category is way too early. While the hope is that there will eventually be more episode articles for the series, currently the majority are in the draft space. Until more move out (timing of which are unknown), this article can live in the parent "Hawkeye (2021 TV series)" category. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per non. Way too early. Gonnym (talk) 06:13, 6 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Too soon for this category. InfiniteNexus (talk) 03:54, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Too soon for this category. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 15:37, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Category has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 01:10, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: Why should this be emptied? It's a category whose entries could reasonably be expanded. As part of an accepted sub-categorization scheme (i.e. ), there's no reason this should be deleted. Sean Stephens (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Because as stated, there is currently only one episode article which fits perfectly well in the main category, with no guaranteed the other episodes of the series will become articles. Is it likely given they are part of the MCU and such? Yes it is, but we should cross that bridge of creating the sub categories when that time comes. This feels like putting the cart before the horse. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:57, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That fails to address my main point, which is that WP:SMALLCAT actively discourages the deletion of these categories. We wouldn't delete a subcategory of for only having one entry; this is in essence the exact same situation, just a different form of media. Sean Stephens (talk) 07:22, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:SMALLCAT mentions Category:Works by creator as a unique exception. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
