Category:Amphibians in human culture

 * 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: rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:03, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Amphibians in human culture to Category:Amphibians in culture (over redirect)
 * Nominator's rationale: To match other existing categories in the surrounding hierarchy. The current name was chosen by the (now blocked) user Caftaric, and was perhaps intended to distinguish from Aquaculture. The only other one using "human culture" is Category:Fish in human culture, which was also created by Caftaric and is perhaps more justifiable. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:47, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support, the word "human" is redundant. Note that there is also Category:Reptiles in human culture to be renamed. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support No real distinction, unless we are somehow counting distinct cultures in non-human primates. Dimadick (talk) 14:00, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:03, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Lists of Lepidoptera genera (alphabetic) to Category:Lists of Lepidoptera genera
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, the parent category contains only one article and "(alphabetic)" is not a useful distinction versus the parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:34, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support - one of user:NotWith's more bizarre creations. Oculi (talk) 21:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  21:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting newjeans
 * Nominator's rationale: Too few articles for an eponymous category per WP:OCEPON; sufficient navigation exists between the two subcategories. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support, standard procedure when only a main article, a songs subcat and an albums subcat exist. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: procedural close, the category has already been deleted (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 17:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting country names using united and states
 * Nominator's rationale: Spurious category Davidelit (Talk) 03:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I started this category. It’s a subcategory of Category:Country names.  If this new category I made is spurious, would it still be spurious if changed to something more similar to other subcategories of Category:Country names?  For example, I’d be glad to change it to Category:Names like United States or Category:United States’s or Category:Countries named United States.&#32;Anythingyouwant (talk) 03:56, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete, in the spirit of WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to know, thanks, I’m going to go ahead and empty this category, and do speedy delete.&#32;Anythingyouwant (talk) 06:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
