 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:29, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting Category:Golden ages (metaphor)
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. There is no connection between these subjects except that they are named “golden age of X”. --2001:16A2:EA0C:C701:FCC2:13D3:F1D7:88F6 (talk) 15:52, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep, there is a connection, these are periods considered the apotheosis in the history of a country or people. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, on the basis of 'Golden age' being a description not a name, for the articles categorised here. If these subjects are verifiably 'golden ages' then it seems fair to categorise them together. Sionk (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:30, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Tehsils of Murree District to Category:Tehsils of Punjab, Pakistan and Category:Murree District
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, there are only two tehsils in Murree District. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear @Marcocapelle this category is just for administrative purpose, I mean for showing administrative division of district. It should keep seprate. AAonlyA (talk) 14:52, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * They are perfectly fine in the parent category, it makes no sense to create an intermediate category layer with so little content. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Bangladeshi Sufi saints to Category:Bengali Sufi saints
 * Nominator's rationale: rename and reparent, Bangladesh did not exist yet when these Sufi saints lived. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:15, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose The rationale is that they were not revered during their lifetime but after their deaths. Most of them are revered exclusively in Bangladesh, and many only in the specific districts in which they preached Islam. Many of these people were ethnic Arabs or non-Bengali and had very little to no following in West Bengal. Which is why I think Bangladeshi Sufi saints makes sense as they are saints to Bangladeshis. While you are right, the national state did not exist, the people, and the land did.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 21:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  10:11, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support but it should be Category:Bengali Sufi saints, reflecting the political situation of their time. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Ayyubid historians

 * 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: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:31, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:13th-century historians from the Ayyubid Sultanate to Category:Historians from the Ayyubid Sultanate and manually add Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad to Category:13th-century historians of the medieval Islamic world
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer as it is the only subcategory of Category:Historians from the Ayyubid Sultanate. For most articles a dual merge is not applicable because they are already in Category:13th-century Egyptian historians or Category:13th-century Syrian historians.

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:31, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting maghrawa
 * Nominator's rationale: soft delete per WP:SMALLCAT, it contains only 2 articles that are already directly interlinked. I purged two articles that were not about the period described in Maghrawa or not about this region. No objection to recreate the category when a decent number of articles is really about this topic.

 * Propose deleting Category:Province of Brandenburg
 * Propose deleting Category:Province of Hohenzollern
 * Propose deleting Category:Province of Saxony
 * Nominator's rationale: soft delete per WP:SMALLCAT, they only contain the main article and a people subcategory. No objection to recreation when enough articles are available. Note that 13 other Prussian provinces also do not have a category of their own. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: - these have all been created and populated in the last few hours by Rathfelder, despite ongoing related cfds. There has been as yet no consensus expressed for the existence of this type of category ('occupation' and 'secondary school'). The number in square brackets is the number of articles for the school: eg has 173 articles. The argument for Eton (5000 articles), that the category was so large that a subcat scheme was necessary, does not hold for all these. (There is my opinion no reason to subcategorise large categories unless there is compelling justification for the subcategories, not the case here: Law is not a subject taught at secondary school and so the decision to enter the legal profession was nothing to do with the school.)

 * Merge back, I can see that some targets are too large but a by-century split would be far more natural than a split by a later occupation that people did not have yet when they were at this school. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep A large majority of British judges are educated at public schools - even today - and this formative experience is considerebly more significant than where they were born.  Judges are already split by century. Bigwig7 (talk) 16:17, 1 November 2022 (UTC) Stike duplicate !vote by sock.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:30, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep As Public school (United Kingdom) tells us: The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission  2014 study of the professions found 71% of senior judges, 62% of senior armed forces officers, 55% of Whitehall permanent secretaries and 50% of members of the House of Lords had been educated at fee-charging schools.Rathfelder (talk) 19:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
