Category:Paraguayan handball biography stubs

 * 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: dual merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Paraguayan handball biography stubs to Category:Pan-American handball biography stubs and Category:Paraguayan sportspeople stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no indication of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As usual, the bar for entry to a dedicated stub category is 60 articles, but there are only 29 here and a list comparison between the relevant parent categories failed to find any other stragglers -- and because the bar is 60 articles, stub categories have to be approved before they can be created, and are not free for just any editor to create on a whim. The template is fine, but should just sort the articles into the appropriate parent categories rather than having its own dedicated stub category for only half as many people as it requires. Bearcat (talk) 18:06, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. I have made sure that all the pages are within Category:Handball in Paraguay.– Fayenatic  L ondon 23:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Greenlandic writer stubs

 * 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: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:01, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Greenlandic writer stubs to Category:Greenlandic people stubs, Category:North American writer stubs and Category:Danish writer stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As usual, stub categories require at least 60 articles to be filed in them before they can be created, and are not free for just any editor to create on a whim for just a small handful of articles -- but there are only six people filed here, and a scan of the articles in the Greenlandic people stubs parent failed to find 54 other writers. The template is fine, but should just sort the articles into appropriate parent categories rather than having its own dedicated stub category for just six people. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

 * 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: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:01, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Greenlandic handball biography stubs to Category:Pan-American handball biography stubs and Category:Greenlandic people stubs
 * Propose deleting Category:Greenlandic sportspeople stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any editor to create on a whim for just four or five people, and require there to be 60 articles to be filed in them before their creation is justified, but there are just four people here with no evidence that 56 others can be found to populate it. The Greenlandic sportspeople stubs category, meanwhile, has no other contents besides the handball category, and in fact a stub template has never even been created to file anybody in it with anyway -- and while the general "Greenlandic people" parent does have a small handful of sportspeople in it, that still wouldn't get either category to 60. The handball template is fine, but should just sort people into appropriate parents rather than having its own dedicated stub category for just four people. Bearcat (talk) 17:52, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:16, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Perhaps, with this low number of articles, even delete the template and merge manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Buildings and structures by Sinhalese monarch

 * 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: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Buildings and structures by Sinhalese monarch to Category:Buildings and structures by monarch, Category:Buildings and structures in Sri Lanka and Category:Works by Sri Lankan people
 * Propose merging Category:Buildings and structures in Sri Lanka by designer to Category:Buildings and structures in Sri Lanka, Category:Architecture in Sri Lanka and Category:Works by Sri Lankan people
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge as WP:SMALLCAT. The one by monarch has only 1 sub-cat, so is not useful. After merging that one, the one by designer will likewise have only 1 sub-cat "by architect". – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:50, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 10:42, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. The subcategory might be nominated as well, per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't delete it, but I think I'll nominate the "by monarch(s)" parent for discussion re "building projects by instigator" like the Roman sibling. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:40, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Place Clichy (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge as nominated. The parent is discussed at Categories for discussion/Log/2023 February 16.
 * Merge as nominated to more defining categories. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Architecture in Sri Lanka sub-categories

 * 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: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting architecture in sri lanka by century
 * Propose deleting 19th-century architecture in sri lanka
 * Propose deleting architecture in sri lanka by city
 * Propose deleting architecture in sri lanka by district
 * Propose deleting architecture in sri lanka by province


 * Nominator's rationale: These categories only contain sub-cats of buildings & structures, or churches. The sub-cats are already within Category:Architecture in Sri Lanka via Category:Buildings and structures in Sri Lanka, and are directly within the other relevant parents, so these barely-populated categories add nothing for navigation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:31, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:46, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I vaguely remember, specifically in Sri Lanka, having encountered many more of these empty container categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I've picked up the Health hierarchy at Feb 15. The other categories by district and province are a bit more useful. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Wow, a Sri Lanka category that's not divided in Tamil/Sinhalese etc., I'm impressed. Place Clichy (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete

 * Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan architectural elements to Category:Architecture in Sri Lanka
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge as WP:SMALLCAT with only 2 pages. Pila (architecture) should also be upmerged to Category:Architectural elements. – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Animal pornographic films to Category:Animal pornography
 * Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT. Only one of these films Animal Farm (video) is really defined by the topic anyway, in the other films the topic more of a footnote. The category's creator is also a banned editor.★Trekker (talk) 16:48, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge as only one of the three meets the criteria, the others being a minor part of the films Atlantic306 (talk) 23:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge

Category:Ambassadors of China to Eritrea

 * 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: upmerge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting ambassadors of china to eritrea
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT which exists solely to contain a list -- and even the list is almost entirely redlinks with just one exception, so even adding the one bluelinked entry to this category still wouldn't make the category large enough. This would be fine if five or six of the people in the list had their own biographical articles to file here, but it does not aid navigation at all to have a category just to contain a list. Bearcat (talk) 14:09, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 03:48, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, even while a second biography has been added it is still a small category, but merge to parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to parent categories.

 * Propose renaming Category:Geography of Jammu and Kashmir to Category:Geography of Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting european sportspeople of jamaican descent
 * Propose deleting european sportspeople of dominican republic descent
 * Propose deleting european sportspeople of trinidad and tobago descent
 * Nominator's rationale: recent proliferation of tiny categories with unusual and irrelevant hierarchical organization. Category naming does not provide for by region encapsulating by country.


 * Missed by previous nomination, recently created.

 * William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:46, 14 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Support, articles should be by national descent, not by (sub)continental descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, this is a trivial intersection between descent and occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I note that Category:European sportspeople of Dominican Republic descent and Category:European sportspeople of Trinidad and Tobago descent had also been created in the meantime. Place Clichy (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, added to nomination. As I'd mentioned previously, there will need to be a search and destroy, as not all of them had been properly parented.


 * Merge to Category:Sportspeople of Jamaican descent. These are likely to be small categories and SMALLCAT applies.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:47, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
