 * Dual merge, also to Category:House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Koháry. I would not have proposed a dual merge if it would concern one or two incidental burials, but in this case it is clearly a family burial site. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge all. (non-admin closure) –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d  c̄ ) 21:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Kentucky women news anchors to Category:American women television journalists and Category:Journalists from Kentucky
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for an overly narrow and non-defining intersection of characteristics. We do not have any established scheme of "[US State] women news anchors" for this to be a part of, but Kentucky news anchors don't have any special need for a standalone category that other states don't have -- and since television anchors frequently change employers over the course of their careers, building this out to its natural "every state gets one of these" conclusion would lead to extreme category bloat as individual anchors could have to be categorized for multiple states. So for all of those reasons, this isn't needed for just three people. The category isn't large enough to need diffusion at all — and while  is large enough that some diffusion might be useful, this won't make it any larger because the three people here are all already in that other one alongside this anyway, and an  vs.  split would be a more useful and important and defining distinction than a by-state scheme. Bearcat (talk) 21:18, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. The arguments for keeping were quite weak - WP:CATGENDER is the clear policy-based argument here. For such a category to be viable, there would need to be a clearer connection between the gender and the crime. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:12, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting male murder victims
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:CATGENDER. I know there is, but does this automatically make a male category necessary, and eligible? Parent states is for "incidents of gender-based violence against men or boys", and it is a fair to assume that most murders in this category are not gender-related. Deletion because there are a lot of options in  under which articles are categorized by features that are actually defining, starting with nationality. Place Clichy (talk) 20:44, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. If not kept, the category should be upmerged to Category:Murder victims Mason (talk) 21:44, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I don't think so. All articles should already be in more precise Murder victims categories, no need to flood the root with 1800+ articles. A PetScan query gives me 150 articles (out of 1,861) that are not there, but many of them are about murders rather than victims (some of them in both and  such as Murder of the Krim siblings). I'm currently browsing the other articles to place them in appropriate geographical categories. Place Clichy (talk) 01:51, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete (don't merge) per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Just because its not "targeted" and or "Gender related" doesnt mean it shouldnt exist. It would be quite sexist to have a category for Women, and not for men. MassiveMan (talk) 15:14 11 November 2023 (MST)
 * That's a complete departure from our guidelines, notably Categorization by defining characteristics and WP:CATGENDER: A gender-specific category could be implemented where gender has a specific relation to the topic. [...] Do not create separate categories for male and female occupants of the same position, such as "Male Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom" vs. "Female Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom".. Place Clichy (talk) 16:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep There are specific patterns of murders linked to the gender of the perpetrator and the victim. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 15:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * to clarify, do you mean that this category should be restricted to murders that were gender-motivated? Or where the murderer is of the opposite gender? Currently, a very large majority of the incidents behind this category are not motivated by gender at all (e.g. a politician assassinating another one to take power). In either case, a massive purge should follow. Place Clichy (talk) 16:16, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Neither, it's that some types of motives are much more common for male than female victims. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 16:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Which motives would justify inclusion in the category then, according to you? Or is motive irrelevant, as long as the victim is male? Place Clichy (talk) 17:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Prussian people by occupation to Category:People from the Kingdom of Prussia by occupation
 * Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, and in order to clarify that this is not about people from Prussia proper, the easternmost province of the kingdom. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Prussia only became a kingdom in 1701. The state didn't change much besides the name. Marcelus (talk) 20:14, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It certainly did. It used to be a Polish fief and it became a major power in the Holy Roman Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:11, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a Polish fief since 1657 Marcelus (talk) 15:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It did not become a major power in the Holy Roman Empire until 1701. Until this year "Prussian people" were people from Prussia proper. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:14, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Not true. Brandenburg wasn't part of the Kingdom of Prussia until 1806, when the Empire is abolished. I really encourage you to check sources. Marcelus (talk) 22:59, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 20:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Note: these merges would remove the subcats from other parents e.g. Category:Ghaznavid Empire. – Fayenatic  L ondon 08:51, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
