 * Delete per Marcocapelle. A list article, a team template at the bottom of the page, a prominent mention in infobox, another prominent one in page introduction plus, in general, a long development or paragraph dedicated to the World Cup winning campaign are imho sufficient to convey the notion.

 * Propose deleting immigrants to the kingdom of prussia

 * I think that we're going to have to start creating redirects for any categories that @Johnpacklambert creates, to prevent having to keep remerging categories. Mason (talk) 21:22, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment Category has been emptied, primarily by the JJMC89 bot. Liz Read! Talk! 01:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I am re-reading my comment of previous time and I am realizing that a reverse merge might have been more appropriate. Prussia was a rather insignificant duchy in Poland but it grew to a powerful kingdom in middle Europe where Prussia proper was its most eastern province. It is useful to stress that we are not talking about Prussia proper. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete, functionally the same as splitting. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 13:50, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Sephardi politicians to Category:Jewish politicians and Category:Sephardi Jews
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection. Jewish politician categories are broken down by nationality, not specific ethic origin. Mason (talk) 20:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree in principle, but Delete in practice as all 10 articles are already in more precise Jewish politicians and Sephardi categories:
 * 3 are in (, ,
 * 3 in
 * 3 in and respectively, , and
 * For I count no less that 3 Jewish politics categories (incl. ) and 7 Sephardi or Mizrahi-related ones.
 * Arguably there are more than 10 Sephardi politicians with Wikipedia articles, but they are more efficiently categorized by other means. Place Clichy (talk) 22:49, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

 * A potential different target is Category:Viceroyalty of Peru people. The New Kingdom of Granada (until 1717) was subordinate to the Viceroyalty of Peru while the Viceroyalty of New Granada was a viceroyalty in its own right. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:38, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ahh, good catch. Maybe manual merge? Mason (talk) 17:50, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It does not require a manual merge, we just need to align on the proper merge target. Merging to Category:Viceroyalty of New Granada people is inaccurate but more recognizable, I don't have a strong preference. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Restaurants serving Chinese cuisine to Category:Chinese restaurants
 * Nominator's rationale: Duplicate of Category:Chinese restaurants; see other duplicate categories in Category:Restaurants by cuisine. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 16:14, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No objection to merging, but I think restaurants serving Chinese cuisine is maybe more precise, and when we look at other cuisines it's even more of a problem of imprecision...what is a Southern restaurant, for instance? But Restaurants serving Southern cuisine is fairly precise. Ethnic restaurants is kind of western-centric, as "ethnic" is a relative term. Is an American-style burger place an "ethnic" restaurant? It might seem like it in Nigeria. Valereee (talk) 16:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps a discussion about Category:Ethnic restaurants is more appropriate. But the "restaurants serving" categories are currently duplicates, except for Category:Restaurants serving Eastern European cuisine, which I've proposed renaming to Category:Eastern European restaurants above for consistency. I'm glad to see the category structure being discussed again, because I too would prefer to see subcategories by cuisine, not necessarily ethnicity. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Category:Chinese restaurants. There is little ambiguity to what is a Chinese restaurant (or an Italian restaurant etc.). The category even has a hatnote redirecting to if someone has a doubt. Keep things simple and use common names. I agree that we could maybe rename Category:Ethnic restaurants to something other than ethnic, such as e.g. Restaurants by culture, but I disagree that it is a Western notion to categorize restaurants by culture. After all, there is a  (and there should be). Place Clichy (talk) 10:15, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

 * from what I can see in, it seems that within the same hour:
 * A user Category:Restaurants serving Chinese cuisine and added two pages to it
 * A second user reverted this addition on the restaurants' pages, with edit comments such as see Chinese restaurants in Canada
 * This second user opened this CfD discussion.
 * I can only approve each of the actions above, clearly in the spirit of WP:BRD. I think that the nominator was right to open a discussion, even for an empty category, because it is not entirely moot to look for community consensus showing that this creation attempt is redundant with existing categories that are judged to be better-named, instead of just a technical deletion. Another possible road would have been for the creator to open a move discussion in the first place, but you can't blame users to be bold. Place Clichy (talk) 09:16, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
