 * Propose merging Category:Festival organizations by type to Category:Festival organizations

 * Propose merging Category:American newspaper founders by newspaper to Category:Newspaper founders by newspaper
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge because this category is not helpful for several reasons: it assumes that american newspapers are founded by americans, not always true; there are only 5 :by newspaper: categories total, so this is unhelpful for navigation.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename/merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional characters who have been possessed by demons to Category:Fictional possessed characters
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional characters who have been possessed by the Devil to Category:Fictional characters who have been possessed by demons
 * Nominator's rationale: The title is run-on and overspecific. I don't necessarily think it's undefining, but it doesn't need such a specific scope as demons. The Devil category is also unnecessarily WP:NARROWCAT and overcategorization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support merging and renaming AHI-3000 (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support There is evidently not a significant story difference in the type of possessing entity; the parent is Category:Fiction about spirit possession and no other categories are specific to one type of supernatural being. –LaundryPizza03</b> ( d c̄ ) 02:10, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Aromanian newspapers to Category:Aromanian mass media
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's not a critical mass to diffuse by medium Mason (talk) 05:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose there are several notable Aromanian newspapers and I will write more articles about them in the future. I will just recreate the category as soon as I write another in anycase. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 08:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That is why I said "Upmerge for now." If you do create a critical mass of newspapers, like 4 or 5, then the category can be recreated. But until this it is not helpful to isolate this single newspaper. Mason (talk) 15:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Only one continent in here, which isn't helpful for navigaiton Mason (talk) 02:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose for now, this would randomly remove a category from the middle of the tree of Category:Murders by year and continent. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
