 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Last known members of an Indigenous people. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Sole survivors of indigenous peoples to Category:Last known member of an indigenous people Category:Last known members of an indigenous people
 * Nominator's rationale: alternative name, sole survivors has a disaster connotation. I'm modeling it off of Category:Last known speakers of a language Mason (talk) 23:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Well-spotted and argued. NLeeuw (talk) 00:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Rename, while this involved quite a few disasters after all, the proposed name better reflects what is meant here. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment For consistency with [[:Category:Last known speakers of a language, and with other cats, it should be the plural [[:Category:Last known members of an indigenous people. Pam  D  07:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Great point! Mason (talk) 13:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Support renaming to Category:Last known members of an indigenous people. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support renaming to Category:Last known members of an Indigenous people. WP:MOS calls for capitalizing Indigenous when referring to people; the categories haven't all been changed yet to reflect this. More at WP:INDIGENOUS. Yuchitown (talk) 13:00, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! that is very helpful. Does that capitalization rule also include collective nouns? So like Indigenous group or Indigenous tribe or Indigenous organization? Mason (talk) 22:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Boxing matches in the Las Vegas Valley with no prejudice against speedy renomination for a merger. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 17:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Boxing matches in Las Vegas to Category:Boxing matches in the Las Vegas Valley
 * Nominator's rationale: The vast majority of these matches actually took place outside of the Las Vegas city limits. User:Namiba 01:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 23:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Alternative: merge to Category:Boxing matches in Nevada since that category is almost empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I would prefer it fit neatly into Category:Sports competitions in the Las Vegas Valley--User:Namiba 12:45, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Marcocapelle, would you be opposed to the rename if the category is not merged? — Qwerfjkl  talk  12:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Fair question. In principle diffusing by Las Vegas Valley does not make a lot of sense because the far majority of human activity in Nevada takes place there. But, considering nominator's rationale, closing this as no consensus is the worst possible outcome. So the answer to the question is no, I would not be opposed.

 * The result of the discussion was: rename and purge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  12:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Vampires in animated television to Category:Animated television series about vampires
 * Nominator's rationale: This name feels more rigidly defining and less open to interpretation. (Oinkers42) (talk) 22:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Animated television shows about vampires to match other categories. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 00:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Honestly, looking at shows in this category, half of these seem to be not really surround narration about vampires. is Duck Dodgers, Adventure Time, Gravedale High, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi really "about vampires" or various topics that happen to include a vampire? The previous title seems to match this relatively small cycle of tv series. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I mean, those topics would not be WP:DEFINING anyway and should probably be removed. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete Category:Disasters in Golaghat; merge Category:History of Golaghat to Category:History of Assam and Category:Golaghat district. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Disasters in Golaghat to Category:Disasters in China Category:Disasters in India
 * Propose merging Category:History of Golaghat to Category:History of Assam and Category:Golaghat district
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge for now. These categories were all made by the same user for the page Golaghat highway accident, who has been advised to not create duplicate/single page categories. There is no need to have a category with a single page in it. If not merged, the categories should be renamed to "Golaghat district". Mason (talk) 21:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Question What's China got to do with it? Don't you mean India? NLeeuw (talk) 00:11, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Good question! @Nederlandse Leeuw I was basing it off of the category it was already in ( Disasters in China by province). But, obviously, the target should be Disasters in India. I'll also update the category... to reflect reality . Mason (talk) 00:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Haha thanks. The name "Golaghat" didn't seem very Chinese to me, and it all seemed to have happened in India, so I had to ask. NLeeuw (talk) 00:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Just delete Category:Disasters in Golaghat, the article is already in Category:2024 disasters in India. Merge Category:History of Golaghat per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Saint Anthony the Great abbeys to Category:Anthony the Great
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge or delete. This isn't helpful for navigation to carve out two abbeys that are associated with a saint Mason (talk) 13:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  20:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 16:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Purge and merge: purge Sant'Antonio di Ranverso Abbey before merging, as the article does not contain any information about Saint Anthony the Great. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose The abbeys and the saint are two different concepts. What's the issue to have different categories? Yann (talk) 12:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There shouldn't be two categories as this is largely a matter of WP:SHAREDNAME. It is merely a coincidence that one of the two articles does contain some legendary information about Saint Anthony the Great. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting european gangs
 * Nominator's rationale: The only item is child Category:European-American gangs‎ right now, and all of them are groups that were or are active in the United States. This doesn't fit in parents Category:Crime in Europe or Category:Culture of Europe. No doubt there are what you might call "gangs" in Europe, but they are not to be found in this category. For this, the Category:Gangs in Europe already exists. But I don't think a merger would make much sense, as there is little overlap between the two. NLeeuw (talk) 16:23, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Regional Mexican culture to Category:Culture of Mexico by state
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. Same scope. Note: I've speedied the target category to be renamed to Category:Culture of Mexico by state. If approved, I will change the target in this nomination. But I think the situation is simple enough to already propose this merger. ✅ NLeeuw (talk) 15:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose upmerging Category:Regional French culture to Category:Culture by region of France
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT. Unlike Category:Regional Spanish culture that I nominated earlier today, this cat almost completely overlaps with its parent. The only difference is the child Category:Culture of the Basque Country, which is mostly focussed on culture in the Basque Country (autonomous community) in Spain, and has virtually nothing to do with the French Basque Country. Anything that is relevant to French Basque culture could be placed in Category:Culture of Nouvelle-Aquitaine if necessary. NLeeuw (talk) 15:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: purge and merge as nominated. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging Category:Regional Spanish culture to Category:Culture of Spain
 * Propose purging Category:Spanish-American culture‎, Category:Spanish-Canadian culture‎, and Category:Spanish-Caribbean culture
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:CROSSCAT. The words "regional" and "Spanish" take up multiple ambiguous meanings, depending on the child category. "Spanish" can mean "Spain", "Spanish nationality", "Spanish diaspora" or "Spanish language", while "regional" can mean "city", "autonomous community", "country" (Spain, Canada and the United States), "continent(s)" (Spanish America) or "archipelago" (Caribbean). This is a mishmash. If anything, we should adhere to the category tree, which is indicated by parent Category:Culture of Spain. Category:Culture by city in Spain and Category:Spanish culture by autonomous community‎ fit in that tree, and shoud be upmerged to this parent. The rest does not, and should be Purged. NLeeuw (talk) 09:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Purge and merge, apart from subCategory:Spanish culture by autonomous community the content of this category is unrelated to Spanish regions. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:04, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * We might interpret cities as "regions" in the sense of administrative divisions, but yes. Even so, they would still be a redundant layer, so upmerging is the best course of action. NLeeuw (talk) 12:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: All of my rationales for this and similar categories can be found at the January 2023 discussion about Laura Nyro tribute albums, for which there was no consensus. I can recreate those arguments here if desired. What I would really like to do is to have a larger discussion on this and seek consensus for categorization across the various tribute albums categories. Thanks to all for their contributions.

 * Propose upmerging Category:Riojan music to Category:Music of Spain by autonomous community and Category:Riojan culture
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. The only item is Music of Navarre and La Rioja, which has been an unsourced three-sentence stub since 2005. NLeeuw (talk) 09:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Women cryptographers by nationality to Category:Women cryptographers
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Note: a British category could be added, incorporating Category:Bletchley Park women. – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Quite likely that there is potential for it. But as for now it is too early to create the category, because there aren't any British directly in Category:Women cryptographers. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Upmerge for now without prejudice. NLeeuw (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Category:Expressways in Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China​
 * Nominator's rationale: Two articles only. One of the articles is about an entirely hypothetical motorway as indicated in the entry, the other hypothetical by and beyond the straits. Rename to hypothetical expressways of the People's Republic of China. 121.202.28.169 (talk) 12:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Rename or delete? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 00:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, the two articles are already in Category:Proposed roads in Taiwan. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. The IP hasn't tagged the nominated category.Mason (talk) 23:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I had overlooked that. I have tagged it now. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete, I think inclusion in Category:Proposed roads in Taiwan is accurate and sufficient. It's not really accurate to say that a road is "in" a purely notional province. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:07, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, a road doesn't exist in a notional entity. Already covered in an existing category as mentioned, although other parent categories might also apply. CMD (talk) 07:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is there any category for notional matters of this country? 58.152.55.172 (talk) 08:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per Marco. IP, what's your goal here? You have better things to do with your time than this. Mason (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Matters related to that country which makes the irredentist claims gotta be identified with that country itself. These matters do not belong to the actual location to which they are designated by that country. 58.152.55.172 (talk) 08:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The target category you may be looking for would be Cross-strait relations. 46.226.162.228 (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The two articles are already in Category:Cross-Strait relations. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Convert to categoryredirect. 46.226.162.228 (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
