 * Propose merging Category:Executed Qing dynasty people to Category:People executed by the Qing dynasty
 * Nominator's rationale: The form "People executed by..." is preferable to using a demonym in the case of multi-ethnic empires. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:01, 26 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment, probably the category is meant as executed people living under the Qing dynasty rather than executed by the Qing dynasty, but in practicie this may well coincide. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:01, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * How can the executed be still living? Was the axe not sharp enough? Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:30, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Very funny. "People living under the Qing dynasty who were executed at the end of their life" is a bit too long. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose per category tree. Category:Executed Qing dynasty people is a grandchild of Category:Executed people by nationality (Executed people by nationality of the person who was executed, regardless which country executed the person.), while Category:People executed by the Qing dynasty is a grandchild of Category:Executions by country (for executed people by country of the executing authority, regardless of the nationality of the executed person.). Clearly these are not the same. Example: If during the Taiping Rebellion a bunch of Qing soldiers is captured and executed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they are Category:Executed Qing dynasty people, but not Category:People executed by the Qing dynasty. Likewise, Taiping soldiers captured and executed by the Qing dynasty would be Category:People executed by the Qing dynasty, but not Category:Executed Qing dynasty people (unless we assume a pro-Qing POV that regards the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as an illegitimate state that had no "subjects" with its "nationality", and argue that the Qing were executing their own "rebellious subjects", but I digress). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:08, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Query How is "Qing dynasty" a nationality? The "Qing dynasty" is a way of saying "the state ruled by the Qing royal house". That state contained multiple nationalities, ethnic groups and religions. There was no such thing as a "Qing dynasty national". Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:35, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair question. I would rather opt for Category:People under the Qing dynasty rather than Category:Qing dynasty people, but that would be a different nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh don't be silly. This has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion; "nationality" here simply means the legal situation of being a subject of the Qing dynasty. There is nothing wrong with "Qing dynasty nationals", but you could abbreviate that as "Qing nationals" or "Qing subjects" if you prefer.
 * This was due to the difficulty within the Qing Empire to tell Qing nationals from Chinese people with British nationality. 1
 * Although the Dutch treat Qing nationals cruelly, all the workers and merchants in the Dutch East Indies get their provisions from Qing nationals. 2.
 * As a result, sultans and the Kazakhs below them who did have a relationship with the Qing began to actively consider themselves to be Qing subjects. 3
 * Nobody is calling U.S. citizens "United States of America nationals", or Dutch citizens "Kingdom of the Netherlands nationals/subjects", because it's a mouthful, even though that is also technically correct. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose after all. While having two executions trees (one by person who is executed, the other by the executing authority) causes a lot of overlap, the simple fact is that we have those two trees and just making one hole in that structure will only cause more confusion.

 * Propose renaming Category:First Hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia to Category:Primates of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia
 * Nominator's rationale: Nobody outside of the Russian Orthodox Church would know that the term "First Hierarch" actually means "Primate". The parent category is Category:Primates of independent Eastern Orthodox churches and Category:Eastern Orthodox primates. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:44, 26 March 2023 (UTC)2 noms

 * Rename per nom. Primate is the usual English name. Note that there is also Category:First Hierarchs of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (also moved to Primates after a CFD and subsequently moved to the current name) and Category:First Hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.

Personally, I think that this whole set of alma mater categories is at best an absurd misuse of Wikipedia for social networking, and at worst a cluttersome misuse of the category system for disruptive tag-teaming purposes. However, unless and until the whole "Wikipedians by alma mater" tree is deleted, this particular piece of folly cannot be deleted solely for being a folly. And any attempt to delete the whole tree will enrage pitchfork-bearing mobs of youth whose identity seems to be heavily bound up in displaying badges of affiliation and/or location, so there is probably no point in trying. So this junk will continue to waste the time and energy of editors. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 23:01, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment by creator: This is one of many hundreds of similar user categories which I created to fill relinks in Special:WantedCategories. @ appears to be right that this category is the result of a typo ... but my only concern is that no decision here results in an another redlinked category.
 * As far as emptying it goes, it's straightforwardly populated by the line  in the templaye, which could just be removed. I'll leave any future discussions of user category grand plans to the future, but will provide one blast from the past: Categories for discussion/User/Archive/June 2007, which went almost exactly as you thought it would. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...  23:14, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, @Pppery. That fix will indeed empty the category. And anyway, User SMU DDE could be deleted as unused.
 * That 2007 CFD is depressing, not least in its showcasing a factor I hadn't considered: that the pitchfork-carriers want articles on educational institutions to be written by people loyal to the institution rather than by neutral editors using reliable sources.

 * Propose deleting instagram accounts with over 10m followers
 * Nominator's rationale: A case of WP:Overcategorization. Even for those with many followers, they don't seem to be noted for specific counts, more often for being the most followed among certain demographics instead. It also feels like a rather minor threshold (at least compared to something like 50M) when countless accounts already have surpassed 10 million anyway. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 14:43, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Support, arbitrary threshold and the main effect of this category is to litter the category box of articles in it. Fbergo (talk) 15:17, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: split to Category:Recurring sporting events established in the 17th century, Category:Recurring sporting events established in the 16th century, Category:Recurring sporting events established in the Middle Ages and Category:Recurring sporting events established in ancient history. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:38, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting recurring sporting events established before 1750
 * Nominator's rationale: Clearly violates WP:OCMISC. We should not just group together all years before 1750. There is no significance to that intersection. Delete. –Aidan721 (talk) 11:30, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Support in principle, but perhaps split to Ancient, Medieval, 16th century etcetera. Many year categories after 1750 should be nominated for merger to century or decade level. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:15, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Split per Marcocapelle.
 * Split in line with other year category trees. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 13:31, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Admimistrative divisions of Imperial China

 * The result of the discussion was: withdrawn by nominator. (non-admin closure) William Allen Simpson (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Former circuits of China to Category:Circuits of Imperial China
 * Propose renaming Category:Former commanderies of China to Category:Commanderies of ancient and Imperial China
 * Propose renaming Category:Former prefectures of China to Category:Prefectures of Imperial China
 * Nominator's rationale: rename per parent Category:Imperial China, categorizing these administrative divisions by what they are, rather than what they are not (= no longer existing). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename as nominated.
 * Oppose and re-parent. Category:Imperial China is just a wrong parent for all three types of administrative division, which have either preceded the Chinese Empire's foundation in 221 BCE, outlived its abolition in 1911/2, or both.
 * The Circuit (administrative division) (道 dào or 路 lù) has existed in the PRC until the 1970s, so they aren't just "Imperial Chinese".
 * The Commandery (China) (郡 jùn) existed from the Eastern Zhou (c. 7th century BCE) until the early Tang dynasty (c. 7th century CE, so they aren't just "Imperial Chinese".
 * Prefectures of China (地区 dìqū) still exist today, so they aren't just "Imperial Chinese".
 * In addition, there is a translation problem, as Western languages such as English have been inconsistent in how to translate these divisions. 郡 jùn were first called "commanderies" and later called "counties", even though 郡 jùn didn't change. On the other hand, the xian (also called "county"), the zhou (also called "province"), the fu and the dìqū have all been called "prefectures" in English sources, which doesn't exactly make things easier. Keeping "former" at least makes clear the divisions of the articles in question no longer exist, regardless of during which era of Chinese history they existed. It's just one of those subjects that don't really fit in the neat boxes of Ancient China - Imperial China - Modern China. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Machinima based on Halo (franchise) to Category:Machinima works
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Besides RvB there are almost no articles in this category; it feels unnecessary. Dual merge to Category:Works based on Halo (franchise). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:24, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
