 * The result of the discussion was: rename & split. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  20:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Populated places in the Maluku Islands and New Guinea to Category:Populated places in the Maluku Islands
 * Nominator's rationale: We should split this category. Maluku Islands and Western New Guinea are not similar areas. Furthermore current title actually contains Papua New Guinea too. Because I already separated Category:Populated places in Western New Guinea to categorize populated places in newly separated provinces in Western New Guinea, we should move Category:Populated places in the Maluku Islands and New Guinea to Category:Populated places in the Maluku Islands.

 * the category can probably be deleted, because the subcategories are already part of Category:Populated places in Indonesia by province. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Support nomination as a split, as there are ready parents Category:Maluku Islands and Category:Western New Guinea. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I closed the related CFD for stubs categories with a similar split. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:37, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
