 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:26, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting members of the council on foreign relations
 * Nominator's rationale: Membership in the Council on Foreign Relations is non-defining and trivial for the vast majority of those included in this category. User:Namiba 19:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. The chairs and presidents have their own subcategory and will be unaffected by this proposal. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Category:Contact binary (small Solar System body)

 * 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: no consensus. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:28, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Contact binary (small Solar System body) to Category:Contact binaries (????)
 * Nominator's rationale: This one is difficult. We need to use the plural to reflect its perimarily set-category contents, but a disambiguator matching the main article Contact binary (small Solar System body) is unwieldy for plural form. (Contact binary is about a type of binary star.) –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 08:44, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

 * If I am not mistaken the default in cases like this is Category:Contact binaries (small Solar System body). Let us just keep to the default. Perhaps an RM should be started to have a more to the point ambuguator in the article title. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Settlers of the National Capital Region of Canada to Category:Settlers of the the National Capital Region (Canada) Category:Settlers of the National Capital Region (Canada)
 * Nominator's rationale: To match Category:People from the National Capital Region (Canada). User:Namiba 18:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Category:Fictional medicines and drugs

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:30, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting fictional medicines and drugs
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT with only one article. It is unlikely that many articles can be created that would meet Wikipedia policy. The category Category:Works about drugs is sufficient for finding fiction that mention drugs. Jontesta (talk) 05:38, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support, the subcategory suffices. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing support after having read the comments below. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:18, 30 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Any idea what happened to the former contents? I know that Bananadine was removed without explanation in 2020, and have restored it to the category. –Laundry<b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 15:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Progesterex was removed without explanation by an IP user in August, who replaced it with poorer categories. We now have at least 3 articles and 1 subcategory. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 15:36, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * In addition, the same user also removed several redirects from the category. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d  c̄ ) 15:38, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have also restored the categories of several other articles and redirects where they removed fictional element categories without explanation. I believe I got them all. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 15:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've found that has removed fictional categories from various articles at least as far back as 2021, without any edit summary and sometimes replacing them with poorer categories. I'm still working to restore these pages. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d  c̄ ) 16:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The user has been reported to WP:AIV. I think I got most of the removed pages. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 16:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Not sure what happened here and I'm willing to withdraw for procedural reasons. Most of the re-additions were redirects but I'd rather discuss the category with those redirects, after LaundryPizza's changes. Jontesta (talk) 19:16, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Nepal MPs 2022– to Category:Nepal MPs 2022–present
 * Nominator's rationale: So it shows up on Navseasoncats template PenGear (talk) 04:15, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support. The preceding category has been renamed, and Navseasoncats does currently work on both category pages. However, the current format is deprecated at MOS:TOPRESENT. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:15, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
