 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional American people by ethnicity. (non-admin closure) House Blaster talk 19:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional indigenous people of the United States to Category:Fictional American people by ethnicity
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose AHI-3000 (talk) 00:02, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support in principle, but it should be dual merged to Fictional indigenous North American people as well. AHI, if you want to actually keep this category, you need to actually explain your argument. Mason (talk) 02:43, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In this case no, the two subcategories are already in Category:Fictional indigenous North American people and Category:Fictional indigenous Oceanian people respectively. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:45, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I notice that User:AHI-3000 removed Category:Fictional indigenous North American people from the Native Americans subcategory which is particularly unhelpful. So the Native Americans subcategory has to be added back to Category:Fictional indigenous North American people indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I reverted that for, as disruptive action while a discussion is going on. The Native Hawaiian category is already in , which AHI indigenous Oceanian people (despite also having geography-based children that do not only contain indigenous islanders}}, so that category is not needed there. Place Clichy (talk) 03:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. This intermediate level is not useful at all for navigation, and the well-designed proposition does not remove any information. Place Clichy (talk) 03:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting misanthrope wikipedians
 * Nominator's rationale: Attack category (but G10 was declined). Utterly lacks collaborative value. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 19:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "Utterly lacks collaborative value". That's just your subjective opinion. And well, who exactly am I attacking? Humans? No it's not an attack. And this is silky micromanaging. — Python Drink (talk) 22:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As I indicated in my reply to you on my talk page, that CSD doesn't apply to me coz my page isn't an article. That's why your G10 didn't work. — Python Drink (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, opinion-based user category. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:20, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * first and foremost, misanthropy is not an opionon. But let's be charitable and say it's an opinon. So literally all the other categories such as Category:Atheist Wikipedians and Category:Wikipedians interested in the United States aren't opinion-based? Python Drink (talk) 22:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The latter is not opinion-based, these are editors willing to collaborate on United States-related topics. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:56, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm glad we agree the first is opinion-based (if it's positive atheism). So we're deleting it right? Along with Category:Nihilist Wikipedians, the subject of which is just as villified as misanthropy? And the myriads of other categories along the lines of "Wikipedians who like [genre of music or film or book and so on] — Python Drink (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I may well support deleting many of those too. There are a large number of user categories of questionable value, that doesn't justify creating more. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 00:26, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Not defining. Mason (talk) 04:17, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. So can we like just let it be, please? We don't have to be so strict. It's actually quite hypocritical. And if we wanna die on this hill, we'd have to do a complete revamp of Wikipedia — Python Drink (talk) 00:00, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

 * @Marcocapelle, a sort of related point about the Soviet Union categories: should they not be named as former countries are. Like the Russian Empire categories are, for example, Category:People from the Russian Empire, should it not be Category:People from the Soviet Union rather than Category:Soviet people.

 * Propose splitting Category:Chechen criminals to Category:Russian criminals and Category:Chechen people
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge as this is an intersection between ethnicity and criminality, which is isn't ok Mason (talk) 06:40, 15 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Dual merge per nom. It would be different for Chechen independence fighters but that is not what this category is primarily about. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:56, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Just delete, the articles are already appropriately in Category:1843 establishments in Africa and Category:1889 establishments in Africa and we do not usually put articles about still existing organizations directly in a year or century category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Fire-Eaters killed in the American Civil War to Category:American Fire-Eaters and Category:United States politicians killed during the Civil War
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection. It's interesting, but there's not a need to intersect pro-slavery activists who are killed during a specific war. It's the same issue as Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_29 Mason (talk) 03:23, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:People from Gran Colombia to Category:Gran Colombia
 * Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category. This country lasted from 1819 until 1831. There's only one person (Mary English (Anglo-Colombian)) who isn't also in the child category Category:Presidents of Gran Colombia‎. Furthermore, "Gran Colombia" isn't ever mentioned on her page Mason (talk) 00:45, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Cricketers from the Dominion of Newfoundland to Category:Cricketers from Newfoundland and Labrador
 * Nominator's rationale: underpopulated category. only category member is described as a "Newfoundlander" not a "Dominion of Newfoundland" cricketer etc. Same situation as Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_22 Mason (talk) 00:33, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Newfoundland Rhodes Scholars to Category:Canadian Rhodes Scholars
 * Nominator's rationale: Intersection between region and award is not defining. The USA doesn't have subcategories by state. Category:American Rhodes Scholars Mason (talk) 00:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)


 * If kept, rename to Category:Rhodes Scholars from the Dominion of Newfoundland, in order to avoid confusion with Newfoundland (island). Marcocapelle (talk) 12:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That might work too, and would require some purging. - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge The category header contains (unsourced) information the Rhodes Scholarship article does not: "Starting in 1902, the Dominion of Newfoundland was accorded Rhodes Scholarships as its own geographic constituency." Even assuming that's true, having a separate category up until 1949 when Newfoundland formally joined Canada might make sense but that's not what's going on here: the articles don't normally give a date of receiving the scholarship and based on my guessing with birth dates, this includes post-1949 winners. In practice, this just appears to be a provincial category and fails WP:OCLOCATION. - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
