 * Propose merging Category:Anti-immigration activism to Category:Anti-immigration politics
 * Nominator's rationale: It is very difficult to make a distinction between activism and politics in the case of anti-immigration organizations. User:Namiba 17:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Deaths from brain cancer in Pernambuco to Category:Deaths from brain cancer in Brazil
 * Propose merging Category:Deaths from brain cancer in São Paulo (state) to Category:Deaths from brain cancer in Brazil
 * Nominator's rationale: Neither place nor cause of death are defining where the cause is common. I think  there is general agreement that these country subdivision categories should go, so I am proposing mergers up to country level  (there are more to come).  We can then consider whether the the country level categories should go too.   Rathfelder (talk) 19:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:30, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Technically it should be a triple merge, also to e.g. Category:Deaths from cancer in São Paulo (state) and Category:Neurological disease deaths in São Paulo (state). While I agree with country subdivision categories for diseases to go, I am not a fan of this gradual upmerge process. If the process gets stuck halfway for whatever reason the articles will remain in no less than three cause of death categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to delete Category:Deaths from dementia and all its subcategories. Apart from anything else dementia in itself is rarely a cause of death.  But is there support for that?  Rathfelder (talk) 13:11, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Neither place nor cause of death are defining" They are far more defining than trivia about a person's religion or ideology. Dimadick (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * For most natural deaths among elderly people there are multiple causes, and very rarely do they have any bearing on what makes people notable. I quite agree that there are other trivial categories but I dont see that they imply we should keep these. Rathfelder (talk) 20:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Dividing deaths as such is overcategorization by a non-defining characteristic.--User:Namiba 13:02, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Category:2022 elections in Calabarzon

 * 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: Keep Timrollpickering (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting 2022 elections in calabarzon
 * Nominator's rationale: No siblings. There's no Category:2022 elections in Metro Manila or 2019 elections in Calabarzon. — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 05:46, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Recently made siblings for the category. Siuhl10 (talk) 07:21, 29 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - there is Category:2019 elections in Calabarzon, there is Category:2022 elections in Metro Manila, and the category is well-populated. In any case the non-existence of siblings is not a reason to delete: 2022 categories have to start somewhere. Oculi (talk) 13:15, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - assuming the 10 subcats actually belong there. Possibly it should be Category:2022 local elections in Calabarzon, but I doubt it is worth changing it.  The lack of a main article for it should not be a reason for deletion.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:23, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, rationale has been made obsolete. — Mugtheboss (talk) 14:58, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
