 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Michael Bublé and Category:Music television specials. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 06:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting michael bublé television specials
 * Nominator's rationale: I think we've got a WP:PERFCAT, WP:SMALLCAT situation here. At best, upmerge to Category:Michael Bublé. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom, but also to . As always, a person doesn't need his own dedicated "[him] television specials" category the moment he's done one television special. Bearcat (talk) 22:53, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree with the additional upmerge as suggested by Bearcat. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 18:58, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Pan-American sports governing bodies to Category:Sports governing bodies in the Americas
 * Nominator's rationale: A set of sports governing bodies organised to cover the whole Americas without any specific Pan-Americanism. Category:Sports governing bodies in the America‎s, Category:Sports governing bodies in North America‎, and Category:Sports governing bodies in South America‎ exist.

 * Propose deleting benin–scotland relations
 * Propose deleting malaysia–scotland relations
 * Propose deleting poland–scotland relations
 * Propose deleting switzerland–scotland relations
 * Propose deleting scotland–zambia relations
 * Nominator's rationale: All these categories have nothing to do with bilateral, foreign, and/or international relations as the naming would suggest. The majority of the entries are subcats that have to do with people of Scottish heritage, diaspora, and emigrants, including expatriate sportspeople. The Poland category entries have mostly to do with relations related to the UK. As do all the other categories nominated regarding relations as modern relations of Scotland are through the UK. Not independently by Scotland. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Support - Jean-Marc Adjovi-Bocco is nothing to do with Benin–Scotland relations. Diplomats are part of bilateral relations but expatriate sportspeople (and emigrants in general) have no such role. Oculi (talk) 20:53, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant category layer when it just contains subcategories of expatriate people or people by descent. The Polish category does contain quite a few articles as well but it is quite a random collection that has little to do with relations between countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:19, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete -- These are not about diplomatic relations, because Scotland is not a sovereign country and has none, though there may be foreign consulates in Edinburgh or Glasgow to provide assistance to their citizens or with trade. Scotland-Poland relations might have covered pre-1603 ambassadors, but none are recorded.  I say 1603, not 1707, because diplomatic relations were done by the king, not Parliament.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Sports governing bodies in Europe. (non-admin closure) –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d  c̄ ) 06:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:European sports federations to Category:Continental sports governing bodies in Europe
 * Nominator's rationale: Either rename to Continental sports governing bodies in Europe (shows that the category is for sports governing bodies between world level and national level) or merge to Category:Sports governing bodies in Europe. Compare Category:Continental championships and Category:National sports governing bodies in Europe. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 15:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Doesn't "continental" sound like it excludes the United Kingdom? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:46, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Hm, would swapping sports and continental make it better: Sports continental governing bodies in Europe? Any other suggestions? After some thinking, I find the grouping of this type of organisations useful in the tree to differ the ones for the whole Europe from Association of the Balkan Athletics Federations and alike. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 11:32, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * By lack of better renaming suggestions I'd rather support the merge to Category:Sports governing bodies in Europe. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:56, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Sports associations to Category:Sports organizations
 * Nominator's rationale: No clear difference, only most are named "association". Kaffet i halsen (talk) 11:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Probably delete, agree with nom, but it is very likely that all content is already somewhere down in the tree of Category:Sports organizations. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:52, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've checked and all are now also on other places in the tree except two: Category:Sports professional associations that can go to Category:Sports organizations and Category:International Sports Heritage Association that I don't know where to put. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 12:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting indo-turkic history
 * Nominator's rationale: What is the scope of this category? New creation with no parents, no description, no main article and contains the likes of Mughal Empire, Akbar, Delhi Sultanate, Mamluk dynasty (Delhi), Nizam of Hyderabad and Indo-Persian culture. Article Mughal Empire clearly states that its founders were of Mongol origine, hence the name, and Nizam of Hyderabad makes no mention of Turkic at all, so this seems to be an indiscriminate collection of articles with nothing in common between them.

 * Delete per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:58, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete because there is nothing Turkic about the content, except perhaps remote ancestry. I note that Urdu, the Indian court language is a diglot of Hindi and Persian (with some Arabic), not related to any Turkic language.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting fifa world cup-winning captains
 * Propose deleting fifa women's world cup-winning captains
 * Propose deleting uefa european championship-winning captains
 * Propose deleting uefa nations league-winning captains
 * Nominator's rationale: This seems to be overcategorization, we already have categories for all tournament winners such as . No articles even exist on the winning captains, this information seems better suited to include on a pages such as List of FIFA World Cup winning players. Also, there is not always a clear definition of who a winning captain is, as a team may have no designated captain, multiple captains or a captain who misses the final. S.A.

 * Propose deleting dhaka university footballers
 * Nominator's rationale: No article exists regarding a football team of University of Dhaka, nor is there any page that covers university football in Bangladesh. Only one of the articles mentions playing for a university team, it is difficult to tell whether the members of this category played for a school team, or are just footballers that attended this university.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. S.A. Julio (talk) 08:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * please check this article relating the Dhaka University Football team. The team had many national team members playing for them and all of the players obviously attended the University. You can also look at their line up in a Cup final on RSSSF .FNH004 (talk) 09:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * this article also has information about the Dhaka University football team. I can provide more information if required. FNH004 (talk) 09:15, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That does not change the fact that there is almost nothing on the topic on Wikipedia. Also, only one of the articles mentions playing for the team, which would indicate to me this is WP:NONDEF. S.A. Julio (talk) 09:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What about the Dacca University cricketers category? It should be deleted as well since there are no pages related to a Dhaka University Cricket Team. this article proves Kaiser Hamid played for the team and  this article proves that Saifur Rahman Moni also played for the team.  proves that Sayeed Hassan Kanan played for the team. If these sources are not enough I guess I will have to make the team's page first. FNH004 (talk) 12:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:State symbols of the president of Ukraine. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Regalia of Ukraine to Category:Ukraine state insignia
 * Nominator's rationale: Analogous to Category:United States state insignia. Regalia are symbols of royal power, Ukraine wasn't a kingdom and most of the insignias in the category are presidental/republican Marcelus (talk) 08:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Is insignia the right term? The bulava and collar are physical objects, not merely graphical symbols used in insignia. Wouldn’t Category:State symbols of Ukraine or Category:Ukrainian state symbols be better? (The usual equivalent of United States used attributively is the adjective Ukrainian.) —Michael Z. 12:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Rename per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:59, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The word "state" in Category:United States state insignia refers to U.S. states, so the analogy doesn't hold up. (If it were, it should be "Ukraine Oblast insignia" or something). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:10, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Alt rename Category:State symbols of the president of Ukraine per WP:C2D State symbols of the president of Ukraine. It's not explicitly categorised as the main article, but it serves as a summary of all other items in the category. Clear case of WP:C2D. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:10, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting 2011 african u-20 championship players
 * Propose deleting 2013 african u-20 championship players
 * Nominator's rationale: These categories are for non-defining characteristics. The 'players at international tournament' categories are typically only created for major events, such as and . The following categories are for the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, a youth tournament. This is not a high enough level to warrant a category, and would cause way too many categories to be used on player articles if one was created for every youth/regional championship. Follows similar discussions here and here. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: There is a very large overlap with Category:Nicknames - most, though not all (through oversight), of the entries in this category are also in its parent - so there is no need for two categories. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete If editors want to add sourced content in the articles related to this, I'm certainly willing to reconsider. But right now, this just a truth in adverting issue. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:18, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @RevelationDirect all category members but onw (Himegamisha Shrine, Nara) have sourced claims that they are Setsumatsusha. Note that a Sessha, Massha, and Betsugu are all kinds of Setsumatsusha. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 15:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic emigrants. Given that there wasn't very clear consensus, anyone interested can open a new CfD to further discuss this. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Rename "Emigrants from..." appears more common in Category:Emigrants from former countries but no objection to LP03's alternate rename. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:07, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * <p class="xfd_relist" style="margin:0 0 0 -1em;border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 2em;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment - the local (country) tree is Category:Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic people. WP:C2C in this tree takes priority over global trees (otherwise there is inconsistency everywhere). The answer is to rename Category:Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic people first. Oculi (talk) 09:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
 * While I think the rename as nominated is clearer, if there is not a clear consensus, Oculi's alt rename is still much better than the current name. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:48, 22 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment Category:Emigrants from the Ukrainian SSR might also be appropriate as being shorter: category names are better for being short. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
