 * Category:Ukrainian American to Category:Ukrainian diaspora in the United States – C2C per Category:Ukrainian diaspora by country. Place Clichy (talk) 01:38, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not consistant with the category names in Category:Eastern Europeans in the United States. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:09, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I suppose Category:Eastern Europeans in the United States and all of its subcategories can be speedied in conjunction. But maybe it is better done in full discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:10, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. In which case my vote should be actually be Oppose speedy. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:34, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nomination. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:55, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: @Marcocapelle, add the categories in Category:Middle Eastern American and Category:Caribbean American as well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, I think they need to be done seperately because there quite a few diaspora groups - Oceanians, Middle Easterns, Hispanic and Latino, Caribbean, etc. - in the categories named in this manner. As @Place Clichy says, it would remove ambiguity. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:39, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * There's always an issue with nominations being either too small or too large. The only practical result is a bias that large batches of bogus categories happen to stay as they are for longer than they should. The understandable aim to discuss a coherent set of categories at the same time should not stand in the way of making such an obvious improvement. Place Clichy (talk) 04:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Place Clichy, indeed. Which is why I think these ones ought to be done seperately and after these ones are done.
 * I actually thought there was only one but there are, in fact, five or six outside Category:Diasporas in the United States. Omnis Scientia (talk) 06:53, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename as nom. This removes an ambiguity in several ways. Adjectives are never good for category names, plus these Fooian Barian can be understood in one direction or the other (as Fooians in Bar or Barians in Foo). Place Clichy (talk) 21:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I will nominate the others if this discussion is closed as rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Works by Giacomo Balla to Category:Paintings by Giacomo Balla
 * Nominator's rationale: The category includes only paintings and not other works of art, like sculptures, drawings, etc, by Italian futurist painter Giacomo Balla. Balla was also basically mostly a painter, so in accordance with Wikipedia categories naming rules, the categories names should be merged to indicate only paintings.Mistico Dois (talk) 19:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:People from the French colonial empire to Category:People of former French colonies
 * Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 16:31, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose because not all the territories of the French colonial empire are colonies. Most are, but some are protectorates and mandate territories. Categories like "People from French protectorate in Morocco" should be created I think. Frenchl (talk) 17:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, what about the reverse? Do you oppose that as well? Mason (talk) 17:47, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think we should keep independant categories, and create a new one for former French protectorates, and another one for former French mandate territories. On fr:wp we have a whole category for People from French protectorate in Morocco. Frenchl (talk) 18:26, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Is the difference between "protectorates", "mandates", and "colony" defining? I don't see why we need to make the distinction across all the groups. I'm fine with having a category for ""People from French protectorate in Morocco" but I don't see why it needs to be in a separate category, given that categories are to help navigation. Mason (talk) 18:42, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll do some checking and get back to you. Frenchl (talk) 19:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, so the difference is that People from colonies lose their original nationality and become French only. People from protectorates keep their original nationality and can acquire French nationality by naturalization with greater ease but this is not automatic. Mandates are administred for a fixed term by the international community, and people from mandates keep their own nationality and do not have as easy access to French nationality as in the protectorates.
 * Since we have separate categories for Former British protectorates and Former British colonies‎, I think it's wise to have the same for France. Frenchl (talk) 20:50, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Do we have Category:People from former British protectorates and Category:People from former British colonies? Because I don't know how helpful it is to break them up. Mason (talk) 00:45, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It would be helpful because in its current state, it is not correct to categorize People from former British colonies both in Former British colonies and in Former British protectorates. A protectorate is not a colony and its people were neither British citizens nor British subjects. And today these people are not even considered UK nationals by the European Union (1).

 * Nominator's rationale: Category of unclear utility. The only contents here are a list of the stations and two omnibus articles about the lines that the stations are on (which are not themselves stations, and do not belong in a category for the stations) -- and there's no immediate prospect of expansion, as the individual stations all exist only as redirects to one of the lines rather than standalone articles about the stations as stations. Obviously no prejudice against recreation if and when some or most of the stations actually have their own articles, but this isn't needed just to hold lists.

 * Oppose: Category:Doctor Who location redirects is a maintenance category that should be kept separate from content categories, in this case the parent category Category:Doctor Who locations.

 * Meanwhile a number of additional redirects have been created. If that is just for the sake of keeping the category in the air then it is a strange action. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I noticed three existing redirects that also belonged in this category rather than Category:Doctor Who locations, and yes I created six more, but I don't see the quantity of entries as a reason to eliminate a category anyway. Bloating Category:Television location redirects to avoid a new subcat isn't organizationally helpful.

 * Merge per nom. Place Clichy (talk) 14:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know. It is odd to regard Russia and the Russian Empire as the same country but not the Soviet Union. After all the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union shared more land with each other than Russia with either of the two. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * My basic view is that the term "Russian" is commonly used to describe individuals' nationality during the time of the Russian Empire. It's quite rare to find references to people as "Imperial Russian" or as being a "Russian Empire [FOO]ian. I think it’s also worth noting  that Russian people categories, Category:People from the Russian Empire‎ is nested  under  "Category:Russian people by period"
 * I think that the difference between the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union is that other writers consider Soviet to be defining; For instance, a scientist active in the Soviet Union is typically referred to as a "Soviet scientist" or simply a "Soviet." Yet, a scientist active during the Russian Empire period is described as a "Russian scientist," without specific mention of the "Russian Empire" in most contexts. They are still described as "Russian," irrespective of the imperial context of their time.
 * Now, I think that this also works for how we refer to Category:People from the Grand Duchy of Finland, which was part of the Russian Empire. A scientist from that duchy would be described as a Finnish scientist, reflecting the Duchy's autonomous status within the Empire. Mason (talk) 23:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yet, a scientist active during the Russian Empire period is described as a "Russian scientist," -> I have seen the opposite multiple times. People being described as Latvian, Ukrainian etc. instead of Russian. In other words, in 18th/19th century context, the word Russian is not used as a synonym of from the Russian Empire, while in fact they were all (Russians, Ukrainians and Latvians alike) nationals of the Russian Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:32, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's a fair point. I guess it's more accurate to say that I don't see scientists described as Russian Empire scientists, the same way that we see for soviets. Mason (talk) 05:41, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that merely means their nationality is not mentioned explicitly. There are likewise more than enough articles about American scientists in which their American nationality is not mentioned, but that is not decisive. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:15, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I oppose. In these matters the Russian Empire has very similar issues as the Soviet Union, and we do not merge Soviet to Russian either. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:55, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I support the original nomination. There are many reasons why it is correct to use terms Russia and Russian to refer to the 1721-1917 Russian Empire. Among a few:
 * It was called like that at the time.
 * When modern-day Russia was established during the break-up of the Soviet Union, it revived pre-Soviet symbols such as the flag and the coat of arms, clearly placing itself within that legacy.
 * Between the February 1917 Revolution and the creation of the Soviet Union on 31 December 1922, there is a ca. 6-year period (and a darn important one) where the Empire was no more and the country was just "Russia". The proposition that we should consider the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, present-day Russia and maybe pre-1721 states as entirely different countries in terms of categories would leave this period in limbo. (Note that I do not suggest to merge Soviet Union categories with Russian ones.)
 * About the argument that the Russian Empire included people and areas that were not strictly Russian in the ethnic sense such as Poles and Finns, so does the modern-day Russian Federation. In Russian, there are different words for Russian citizenship (росси́йский) and Russian nationality (ру́сский), a nuance that's harder to convey in English as the same term is used. I remember a teacher explaining that ca. 20% of people in Russia had a nationality other than Russian, e.g. Chechens and Tatars, and that this was for a long time mentioned on official IDs.
 * For these reasons, I see no reason here to deviate from the commonly accepted good practice of having categories for countries gathering past and present political regimes, unless absolutely necessary. Place Clichy (talk) 00:07, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * My opinion aligns predominantly with Place Clichy. I think that the comparison with the soviet union is well-intended, but it doesn't reflect that most people describe people from the Russian Empire period as Russian. And I don't think that there's a reason to make the distinction between political regime, because tuberculous doesn't care about politics. Mason (talk) 00:29, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't think that the fact that most people describe people from the Russian Empire period as Russian is a good argument. The criterion should be whether most knowledgeable people (i.e. historians) would do so. And presumably they will be a bit more accurate. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:35, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. The Russian Empire is different from the modern-day Russian Federation which is different from the Soviet Union. Many people who were a part of the Russian Empire back would not be considered Russian today, for example. I would say keep categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:03, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting disney animated animals
 * Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection, especially the way it's being applied to characters that Disney just owns after buying the original owners. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 00:32, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Rename to Category:Animated Disney animals. As long as Category:Disney animated characters (which should really be Category:Animated Disney characters) exists, this is a valid cross-categorization to have. if the problem is the inclusion criteria then that can be addressed by removing anything that didn't have its origin in Disney. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Rename to Category:Disney animal characters (see this Ngram ); like e.g. Category:Pixar characters, there's no need to specify "animated". Siblings Category:Universal Pictures animated animals and Category:Warner Bros. animated animals should likewise be renamed Category:Universal Pictures animal characters and Category:Warner Bros. animal characters, following the parent Category:Animal characters in television. As for renaming the parent to "animated Disney characters", there's no clear pattern for C2C within Category:Animated characters, but yes, this Ngram shows usage switching to that word order since 2010. – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:46, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
