 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge as there's only one category in here. (No prejudice for recreation if the category grows larger) Mason (talk) 23:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Siblings with two subcategories may also be nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * different merging Category:Peruvian LGBT people by gender identity with Category:Peruvian LGBT people by sexual orientation and rename. Siblings with two subcategories may also be merged too. 대한민국 정치 (talk) 11:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sexual orientation and identity are different. I would not support merging them together. The SO category for Peru has 3 child categories in it, and that's typical for the category. Mason (talk) 12:56, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be an inappropriate merge target. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * instead of merging, why not create a supercategory for "by sexual orientation" and "by gender identity"? such as "by identity", encompassing both concepts. then there will be "Peruvian people by identity", with "...by sexual orientation" as subcategory or merged/renamed.
 * the typical for the "by gender identity" is two subcategories, which is debatable too. Militanza (talk) 07:35, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Ithaca Bombers baseball seasons to Category:Ithaca Bombers baseball
 * Nominator's rationale: One article. Unlikely to grow as Ithaca is not NCAA Division III. –Aidan721 (talk) 23:02, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge for now, there is no navigational benefit. No objection to recreation of the category when there are a lot more articles about this. Many sibling categories may be nominated for the same reason. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: The tree for the Middle East is much more developed. Here are only three entries they all are also in the Middle East. Yorkporter (talk) 18:25, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * shouldn't we then also merge the subcategories? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:14, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Category:Blue flowers

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Clyde  &#91;trout needed&#93; 02:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting blue flowers
 * Nominator's rationale: This category seems a clear case of Over Categorization, specifically Subjective inclusion criteria, as plant flower colors are often categorized differently by different people. What is clearly a blue flower to one author is a purple flower to another writer since there is no hard division between the color hues. Additionally, almost all blue/purple flowers will also have a white form, many partially blue flowers have patterns or stripes of other colors on the flowers, and/or have different colors at different stages of development. E.g. Mertensia virginica, which in addition to being blue also can have pink or white flowers. Iris missouriensis which has flower that might be fairly called purple and has white parts on the falls between dark blue or purple veins. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:20, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete The color "blue" itself is not well-defined. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 17:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 12:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Gderrin (talk) 00:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Soil pH can influence flower color; Hydrangeas are well known to produce blue flowers in more acidic soils, and to produce purple or pink flowers in more basic soils. Blue pigments in plants are mostly anthocyanins which appear in different shades depending on pH. I'm not aware of very many plants that have a response in flower color that is as strongly affected (blue to pink) by soil pH alone as hydrangeas. I am aware of more plants with anthocyanin pigments that vary dramatically in shade (blue to pink) over the course of floral development (such as Mertensia mentioned above) or vary less dramatically (blue/purple or purple/pink) among different individual plants (which could be genetically or environmentally mediated). "Blue" is the worst possible color category for flowers. Plantdrew (talk) 02:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Category:ROK nationalism

 * 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)  Clyde  &#91;trout needed&#93; 02:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting rok nationalism
 * Nominator's rationale: Creation of this category is possibly restriction evasion. Editing restrictions/Placed by the Wikipedia community, User:Storm598 was banned. "There is a consensus from the community to ban User:Storm598 from the topic of American politics, all eras, broadly construed."
 * On the other way, meaning to the catoegory is dubious and "ROK-aligned Korean nationalism" and "a nationalism which support the view: South Korea is a distinct nation with previous Korea" are not same.
 * Only Dawn of Liberty Party support that South Korea is a distinct nation with previous Korea. Other conservative movements support Korean nationalism and think that South Korea and North Korea are single nation but North Korean governmwnt is illegal and North Korean authorities deprive wealth of North Koreans. For example, meaning of Liberal Unification Party is Liberal Unification(자유통일), Which means Korean Unification by liberalization to rescue North Korean.
 * Category containing only one article is inappropriate. 대한민국 정치 (talk) 16:50, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Storm598 had a bad track record, I'm still dealing with their stuff. Using the abbreviation "ROK" is also not great toobigtokale (talk) 17:40, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Category:Korean nationalism already exists and if a sub category is needed it should be "Republic of Korea" rather than ROK. Editors in this area can decide if a new category is needed in the future. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 20:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Not defining. It's also weird to have this category when we don't even have an article on this primary school. Pichpich (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, we should not have alumni by primary school categories altogether. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, supporting the nominator's proposal. The fact that the school may not be notable enough for an article is a clear signal that the category is not needed. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 19:18, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Mason (talk) 17:01, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support, the purpose of a category is to help readers find similar articles and this category seems not to fulfill a need for that as everything in the category is a redirect to Toyota dealerships (Japan) as noted by the nom. I also cannot find any other categories for Ford, GM, or BMW. There are also very few dealership articles on Wikipedia generally since most of them lack notability. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 18:21, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Support: Russia has never had dukes as part of its nobility. Furius (talk) 22:50, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support for the proposed deletion. I looked a large portion of the wikipedia articles with both "duke" and "Russian" and the one article that listed a member of Russian nobility as a "duke" looks like it may be an error of translation and the rest were "grand dukes" or were dukes in other countries like Germany. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 19:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
