Category:Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League teams navigational boxes

 * 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: soft delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting maharlika pilipinas basketball league teams navigational boxes
 * Nominator's rationale: All contents of this category are also contained in the child category, Category:Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League roster navigational boxes. The child is really a more accurate description for a category name - let's just delete this one and give the child the same parents as this one. fuzzy510 (talk) 19:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose Upmerging Category:Design 1095 ships of the United States Navy to all 3 parent categories
 * Nominator's rationale: Per classic WP:SMALLCAT
 * Only 7 Design 1095 ships were ever built during the 1920s and all were used as civilian merchant ships. Just 1 of those was later bought by the US Navy during WWII. So this is a 1 article category, with no growth potential, and this service branch breakdown is not "part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" under the parent category tree. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:09, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:Indian American government officials

 * 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. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting indian american government officials
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCEGRS, WP:NARROWCAT and in this case also WP:SMALLCAT. This is an intersection of three things:


 * 1) Nationality (Americans)
 * 2) Ethnicity (Indians)
 * 3) Job (government officials)
 * That seems extremely narrow and unhelpful, and likely leads, with the rest of the category tree, to WP:OVERCAT problems. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment -- Six articles means that this is enough to keep, but rename to Category:American government officials of Indian descent, the standard format for such categories, except that the changes were never made for US. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:45, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm quite sure that wouldn't solve any of the other problems. In fact, most of the time, these "of Y descent" categories are nothing but trivial intersections and are rarely anything but unhelpful category clutter. A group nom would probably do some good in this regards, but given how large this category tree is, I'm not sure that's going to be particularly effective or worth the colossal amount of time it would require. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as a trivial intersection and per WP:OCEGRS, the number of articles is irrelevant. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:CSD.  ✗  plicit  06:51, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting алексей печкурова (ru)
 * Propose deleting category
 * Nominator's rationale: Two circular categories which only contain each other. Written in cyrillic rather than latin alphabet. Categories masquerading as biographical articles on apparently non-notable individual singer Aleksei Pechkurov. Contains only biographical details and an imdb external link. Spokoyni (talk) 13:14, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: Completely pointless, and the first category isn't even correct in Russian. 1234qwer1234qwer4 14:52, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that I blocked the creator as a cross-wiki LTA--Ymblanter (talk) 15:12, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete is there a speedy criteria that applies here? - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:15, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:Biovisualization software

 * 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. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting Category:Biovisualization software
 * Propose deleting Category:Free biovisualization software
 * Nominator's rationale: delete, seems to be the same thing as Category:Bioimaging software. There is no separate article about Biovisualization or likewise, while we do have Bioimage informatics. There is no need for merging, the three articles in the category are already in Category:Free DICOM software which is the subcategory of to Category:Free bioimaging software. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Support Biovisualization is a subtopic of scientific visualization and is different from imaging, for instance, . Phylogenetic trees may be an example of biovisualization. That said, the current category doesn't have any such visualization topics. In its present state, I think deletion is fine. But I'd also support a Category:Biovisualization populated with biovisualization topics. I suppose this is the category version of a WP:TNT argument. -- 18:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, these categories consist of only 1-3 articles. Note that even some raion categories only have one article but let's leave that for another time. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that most target raions have been abolished, it is probably reasonable to add directly new raions. Ymblanter (talk) 07:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Ow, I had not realized this. But this means that the entire Raions tree need to be reworked, that goes quite a bit farther than this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is in my plans, but I also have other things to do first. May be as an intermediate step we can process these as nominated. Ymblanter (talk) 10:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable to me. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:40, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Suggest closure, if Ymblanter will promise to sort this out when there is time. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:41, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The sequence of merging does not matter. First merging the smallcats then the raions will have the same result as first merging the raions then the smallcats. In other words, it is not a reason to postpone this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:43, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
