 * Nominator's rationale: Category is intended for characters, but is populated solely with media featuring dolphins, which should probably be its own category. (Oinkers42) (talk) 16:00, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, C LYDE  TALK TO ME / STUFF DONE  19:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - I didn't see any article about a particular dolphin in this category; likewise in its (alleged - I am fairly sure that orcas are not dolphins) subcat Category:Fictional orcas, which should be added to the nom. (We have Category:Films about dolphins etc.) Oculi (talk) 17:05, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename and merge smallcats as nominated. The contents are for navigating between encyclopedic content, not for administering the WikiProject, so the nomination correctly removes that prefix. No specific opposition has been made to the details of the nomination, so it should belatedly go ahead now. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:16, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement Community of Christ templates to Category:Community of Christ templates
 * Propose renaming Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement LDS templates to Category:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints templates
 * Propose merging Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement geographic templates to Category:Latter Day Saint movement infobox templates
 * Propose merging Category:LDS States to Category:Latter Day Saint movement infobox templates
 * Propose renaming Category:Latter Day Saint biography templates to Category:Latter Day Saint people templates
 * Propose renaming Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement temple templates to Category:LDS temple templates
 * Propose renaming Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement temple navboxes to Category:LDS temple navigational boxes
 * Propose renaming Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement sects templates to Category:Latter Day Saint movement sects templates


 * Nominator's rationale: I've created Category:Latter Day Saint movement templates before realizing that Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement templates exists. Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement templates is specific to the WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement. It contains templates such as WikiProject banner, badge, invite, and task box. Most of the subcategories in the tree of Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement templates include unnecessary prefix "WikiProject" – the categories are used for templates used in the article namespace.

I propose to reorganize these categories under the Category:Latter Day Saint movement templates and without the "WikiProject" prefix. See also additional clarifications:


 * for Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement LDS templates – naming consistency with content category The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
 * There is just one template in categories Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement geographic templates and Category:LDS States – Infobox LDS in State. Together with Infobox Latter Day Saint biography, they can form a new Category:Latter Day Saint movement infobox templates or the can be just upmerged to Category:Latter Day Saint movement templates.
 * for Category:Latter Day Saint biography templates, renaming is for consistency with Category:People and person templates and to expand the scope a bit to make the category more useful.
 * for Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement temple templates the suggested name is such by analogy with existing Category:LDS temple map templates and because Category:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple templates is a bit too long.
 * for Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement temple navboxes – an additional reason is consistency with tree of Category:Navigational boxes by topic.

 * I've found one more infobox for Category:Latter Day Saint movement infobox templates – Infobox LDS in Country. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The one problem I see with this suggestion is that we are talking about 3 different and distinct definitions.Mormonsim refers to the commonly shared beliefs of all religious sects that trace their origins back to the Church originally organized in New York in 1830 by oseph Smith. The Latter Day Saint movement refers to all sects tracing their origins back to the church started by Joseph Smith, with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ being the largest denominations within that movement. So switching all references of the Latter Day Saint movement to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints overlooks the fact that the Latter Day Saint movment has more denominations than just that largest sect. J. That being said, anything relating to the largest sect of that movement following the 1844 succession crisis can and should be classified as relating specifcally to that church. ust wanted to mention that here Jgstokes (talk) 21:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Jgstokes, could you please be more specific what adjustment to the nomination you would like to see? As far as I understand them, the 3 different and distinct definitions you're talking about are already accounted for in the category tree:
 * Category:Latter Day Saint movement templates – top level category.
 * Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement Community of Christ templates – subcat for Community of Christ.
 * Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement LDS templates – subcat for LDS Church.
 * As far as I can tell, right now Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement LDS templates is specific to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka LDS Church. That's why the temple category, and the temple navboxes category are getting the same treatment – all the templates in them are about LDS Church.
 * Do you mean that the "sects" category should be renamed to Category:LDS church sects templates and categorized under Category:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement LDS templates? —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:55, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 07:54, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * While we are here, it probably is better to specifiy the correct entity in the category names - Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony or Province of Massachusetts Bay as Massachusetts is definitely not the correct one. This is also causing errors in the category links as can be seen for example with Category:1622 establishments in Massachusetts which links to Province of Massachusetts Bay which per the article was established in 1691 so 69 years later. Gonnym (talk) 17:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This is questionable because it only concerns one decade of an entire tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support for Now I share Gonnym's and Marcocapelle's and the target category names should be cleaned up and more categories should eventually be nominated. But these changes address WP:SMALLCAT and incrementally improve the encyclopedia from where it is now. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Categories for players at international tournaments are typically only created for major international tournaments, such as and . The following categories are all either youth tournaments or the championships of subregional confederations. This is not a high enough level to warrant a category, and would cause way too many categories to be used on player articles if one was created for every youth/regional championship. S.A.

 * are you planning to nominate the subcategories too (for merging)? Marcocapelle (talk) 08:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * No, all of them are already appropriately parented. I was checking as you asked.
 * I am not sure I understand. Isn't it, e.g., Category:Sinhalese civil servants that should be merged in the first place as that is the type of categories violating WP:OCEGRS? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:09, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * In this case I was merely removing this Sri Lanka only parent itself, treating Burgher and Sinhalese as international'ish diasporas (like Jews). It would be painful for some of these country-ethnicity subcategories. For example, Category:Sri Lankan Chetties are mostly in Category:Sri Lankan Chetty people by occupation, which is a container, so upmerge isn't allowed to it. Although Category:Sri Lankan Chetty civil servants has only 1 article, he is the founder of the entire Sri Lankan civil service. So there's no good way to handle without deleting the whole Sri Lankan Chetty people by occupation tree and upmerging 2 or 3 levels. That might be a good thing eventually, as many are small, and there are still politicians and sportspeople that have eluded our previous deletions. But that's a discussion for another day.
 * It isn't that complicated, e.g. Category:Sri Lankan Chetty civil servants should be merged to Category:Sri Lankan civil servants and Category:Sri Lankan Chetties. I have difficulty understanding what we win by deleting the container categories, it would merely hinder us in finding categories to be nominated in the future.

 * Agreed in principle. But then some pedant will come along and say, "you cannot do just these 5 civil servant subcategories, there's a well defined tree for occupations." As happened several years ago for related nominations. Step by step. Establish that this combination isn't defining. Then approach each sub-tree with precedent in hand.
 * ... in which case I was the nominator. Ok, you convinced me, delete, trivial intersection between occupation and ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as per WP:OCEGRS. Note: if kept, this should probably be renamed to Category:Sri Lankan civil servants by ethnicity, as the category is only about SL. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 11:11, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. I find the nominator's approach to these category trees to be problematic as well, but the issue at hand is clear and can be handled separately.

 * No, I've added a merge parent to them each by hand, as they have complicated sorting keys.
 * Delete per above discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:43, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Politicians by Imperial Chinese dynasty to Category:Government officials by Imperial Chinese dynasty
 * Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent, the tree mainly contains bureaucrats and military personnel. Note that many articles also wrongly use the word politician. If this goes ahead I will nominate the subcategories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 07:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support — although it seems an awful mismash of barely related articles, these are not politicians in the modern sense.

 * The result of the discussion was: Reverse merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Duchy of Carniola to Category:History of Carniola
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with just the main article and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 18 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose The target is a loose geographic region that is not identical with the borders of the Duchy. The target has sub-cat "establishments": how can regions establish things? If anything, a reverse merge is indicated. Laurel Lodged (talk) 06:58, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Reverse merging is fine too. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 07:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Reverse rename (tagged) — to preserve history. The former is a better name, but the latter has all the content, as it is the older category.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Ute (ethnic group).  ✗  plicit  06:14, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ute tribe to Category:Ute
 * Nominator's rationale: Per previous renaming discussions here and here, "tribe" should be dropped from categories related to Native American peoples wherever possible. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 05:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 07:50, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Ute is a disambiguation page. Gonnym (talk) 09:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Suggestion to overcome the objection: Category:Ute (Native American). Marcocapelle (talk) 13:47, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have no issue with this. Gonnym (talk) 17:08, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I would be okay with this. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 14:11, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The challenge is that the main article is Ute people and that naming is, quite understandibly, used for the biography subcategory. Would lean toward Category:Ute since the ambiguity would be blunted as I don't think readers/editors would expect the other meanings to have a category, but there's not perfect solution to this one. - RevelationDirect (talk) 11:00, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename as nominated — Another problem is that there is another Ute related tribe: Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Also various "Utes" (another disambigation): San Pitch Utes, White River Utes. Aussies calling sport-utility vehicles "ute" and "utes" isn't the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
 * Ute Mountain Ute Tribe are a sub-group of Ute people, but I'm unclear about the status of the other two. Furius (talk) 23:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Rename to Category:Ute (ethnic group); Category:Ute (Native Americans) is unnecessarily fine as there are no other ethnic groups called Ute or Utes. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 17:51, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * inviting responses to the latest alternative. For info, I tried to look for others requiring disambiguation but found only Category:Crow tribe, and that one is still also using "tribe". – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:56, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd still like someone with more expertise than me to confirm whether San Pitch Utes and White River Utes are sub-groups of the Ute tribe. If they are not, then I think a more precise disambiguator would be desirable. Otherwise, I'm fine with "ethnic group". Furius (talk) 21:16, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with whatever is decided as I'm not familiar at all with this subject. I just opposed the non-disambiguated name. Gonnym (talk) 22:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Ute (ethnic group) sounds alright too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:01, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm good with either with Category:Ute (ethnic group) or Category:Ute (Native Americans). - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
