 * Propose deleting architecture in asia
 * Propose deleting asian design
 * Propose deleting architecture in asia by period or style
 * Nominator's rationale: Redundant categories/duplicate categories by the same user Mason (talk) 23:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The categories are currently empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Comment These are recently-created empty duplicates of existing Category:Asian architecture tree. The creator was probably inspired by my recent speedy-renaming of Category:African architecture to Category:Architecture of Africa (per C2D, which currently doesn't apply to other architecture-by-continent cats). I do favour the naming Architecture of in Fooland, but that should happen by renaming existing trees according to procedure, not creating duplicates. Let's delete the duplicates first before considering renaming its siblings. NLeeuw (talk) 12:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * PS: For a future renaming of the whole tree, I think Architecture in Fooland may actually make more sense that "of", as it is almost universally applied in lower-level categories.
 * E.g. despite top-level main article Architecture of Africa, children in Category:African architecture by country all use Architecture in Fooland.
 * E.g. Category:Brutalist architecture by continent has children called Brutalist architecture in Fooland. And although Commons usually favours "of", here too it has c:Category:Brutalist architecture by country with Brutalist architecture in Fooland. So the creator's goal of moving towards the "in" formulation isn't so ill-thought, it's just badly applied in practice.
 * NLeeuw (talk) 13:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm definitely not opposed to Architecture in FOO for a later CFD. (My goal is to just clean up the mess of the category creator) Mason (talk) 19:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's good to know, glad you agree. NLeeuw (talk) 22:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * 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: dual merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Terrorist incidents in Upper Kohistan District, Pakistan to Category:Terrorist incidents in Pakistan
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. If not merged, the category needs to be renamed to reflect that this is Upper Kohistan District Mason (talk) 23:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge more specifically to Category:Terrorist incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Category:Upper Kohistan District. The category contains only one article, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting crime in shangla, pakistan
 * Propose merging Category:2024 in Shangla, Pakistan to Category:2024 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa‎
 * Propose merging Category:Terrorist incidents in Shangla, Pakistan to Category:Terrorist incidents in Pakistan
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. If not merged, the category needs to be renamed to reflect that this is Shangla District Mason (talk) 23:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge but to Category:Shangla District and Category:2024 in Pakistan as Category:2024 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa‎ does not exist yet. The category contains only one article which is not helpful at all. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * are you okay with the alt merge as suggested by Marco? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting semi-round buildings
 * Propose deleting modernist architecture in taiwan
 * Propose deleting modernist architecture in taiwan by county
 * Propose deleting asian architectural styles by country
 * Propose deleting architecture in asia by country
 * Nominator's rationale: unhelpful categories made by the same disruptive user. Only have one page in them related to a current event. Mason (talk) 22:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, a huge tree for only a few articles is not helpful at all. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete for now without prejudice. I expect 2, 3 and especially 5 will be useful in the future, but not at the moment. 5 will probably be the result of renaming Category:Asian architecture by country, not of new creation (see also CfD above). NLeeuw (talk) 22:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Just noting that Category:Modernist architecture in Taiwan by county has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 01:11, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Nonsensical categories. Mason (talk) 22:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * These categories are currently empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Buildings in Hualien City to Category:Buildings and structures in Hualien City
 * Propose merging Category:Hualien City Historic-Cultural Monuments to Category:Buildings and structures in Hualien City
 * Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful by the same disruptive category creator. Also the template the page creator used for Historic-Cultural Monuments only applies to California. OP keeps making categories and refuses to take feedback. Mason (talk) 22:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete/merge, "buildings" alone is an unusual sort of category, and all of these contain only one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Category:Buildings in Hualien City has been emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 16:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Buchenwald concentration camp medical personnel to Category:Buchenwald concentration camp personnel

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting transgender genocide
 * Nominator's rationale: Inappropriate categorization: other than the main article, none of these topics are defined by their association with the disputed concept of transgender genocide. Some articles may need upmerging. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  21:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename as unopposed. (non-admin closure) Queen  of  Hearts 02:55, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Brazilian city councillors to Category:Brazilian municipal councillors
 * Nominator's rationale: Juridically, it's called municipality, not city. See also subcategories/siblings at Category:Councillors in South America. -- MikutoH talk! 21:23, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Babson Beavers to Category:Babson College
 * Nominator's rationale: Category lacks subjects. Let&#39;srun (talk) 18:48, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Standard categorization scheme. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What guideline is that? Let&#39;srun (talk) 13:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No formal guideline that I know of it, but it reflects the standard practice for scores of editors for more than a decade in topic areas covering hundreds of thousands of articles. What guideline is "lacks subjects"? Jweiss11 (talk) 02:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge for now, this is not helpful for navigation between articles. No objection to recreate the category when some more articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:03, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge for now. "Standard categorization scheme." is not a good reason to keep a category. Its effectively saying this is how its been done, so no need to change it. It's effectively Argument from inertia. Mason (talk) 21:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting languages with own distinct writing systems
 * Nominator's rationale: Definition of "distinctive" seems to make this a WP:SUBJECTIVECAT  Pepper Beast    (talk)  04:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, gives too much room for subjective interpretation and not a very defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT WP:ARBITRARYCAT. Is a writing system "distinct" if it has one different letter in its alphabet compared to a neighbouring language? E.g. Montenegrin alphabet versus Gaj's Latin alphabet. Unofficially, you can write any language in any script. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ NLeeuw (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting titular meitei princes
 * Nominator's rationale: Confusing, at best. None of these people seems to be titled, or a Prince. They just seem to share a surname and are somehow related to royalty.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  04:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * At the very least merge the two together per WP:OVERLAPCAT. If further upmerged as nominated then dual merge also to Category:Indian princesses. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Medicine goddesses to Category:Health goddesses
 * Propose merging Category:Medicine gods to Category:Health gods
 * Propose merging Category:Medicine deities to Category:Health deities
 * Nominator's rationale: Seems like a lot of overlap/duplication.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  03:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Not sure about the semantics, but seems like medicine is a human activity or product, while health is said to be bestowed upon humans as a blessing by deities. NLeeuw (talk) 20:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting maintenance deities
 * Propose deleting maintenance gods
 * Propose deleting maintenance goddesses
 * Nominator's rationale: Rather strange category. I couldn't really find much to support it as WP:CATV, and the articles included weren't much help.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  02:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed The majority of pages in this category don't make much sense being here. Vishnu would be the only exception, but he may be better referred to as a god of preservation. Invokingvajras (talk) 03:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support deletion, what the hell does "Maintenance deities" even mean anyways? Also delete Category:Abundance deities too for the same reasons. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I actually think Abundance deities should be changed to Wealth deities and Commerce deities should be merged into that.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  01:49, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Never heard of them, and there don't seem to be RS for them either. Seems like some Wikipedia category maintenance is in order... NLeeuw (talk) 20:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting company editors
 * Propose deleting italian company editors
 * Propose deleting italian company editors by type
 * Nominator's rationale: I'm nominating this category and, by extension Category:Italian company editors and Category:Italian company editors by type because I can't find a definition on Wikipedia of what a "company editor" is and so I don't know who would or would not be included in this category. Categorization on Wikipedia is not supposed to be ambiguous and so I think either a definition should be included on a main space article or this category needs to be deleted or renamed.

 * Propose splitting Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Aruba to Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings and Category:Roman Catholic churches in Aruba
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There are only 4 churches in this entire tree, which is not helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 00:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Support in principle, per nom, but only one article needs to be moved manually to Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings, the other two articles are already in a subcategory by year. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
