 * Propose splitting Category:18th-century South African scientists to Category:18th-century scientists and Category:18th-century South African people
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one person in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:War novels by period to Category:War novels
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need for a category with one category in it. The category is already in Novels set in ancient Rome (so only a single merge is needed). Mason (talk) 22:57, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Category:War novels by war is much more relevant in this case than Category:War novels by period. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting lgbt actors with disabilities
 * Nominator's rationale: I fail to see how this any more than a trivial intersection. Definitely seems like ab over categorization. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 21:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Dual merge to Category:LGBT actors and Category:Actors with disabilities and possibly triple merge to Category:LGBT people with disabilities as well but I'm not entirely sure if that is necessary. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If not kept, it definitely needs to be merged, not deleted.. Re: LGBT people with disabilities, was relatively recently closed as no consensus. Categories for discussion/Log/2023 August 5. I'm neutral about the intersection. Mason (talk) 23:31, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. NPASR. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  20:21, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting accessible montreal metro stations
 * Nominator's rationale: The accessibility of a metro station is a non-defining feature. User:Namiba 14:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per nom. There are several metro stations in the parent category Category:Accessible transportation, such as Category:Accessible New York City Subway stations‎. Issues related to accessible transport have been a frequent subject of disability advocacy e.g.,, . Mason (talk) 16:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  19:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Accessibility of metro stations tends to change with time, as stations are made accessible. I believe that this topic would be better served by articles listing when and how accessibility was obtained for each station, even those that were from the time of their opening, with the associated efforts and politics (Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is an example). Also note that connecting stations are sometimes accessible for some lines but not others, making the concept of "accessible station" blurry. Place Clichy (talk) 18:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I have written out both a !vote in support and a !vote in opposition to this proposal. Instead of vacillating between the two, I am going to take the easy way out and oppose the nomination as is and recommend a fresh nomination containing the entire tree. <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 22:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:African-American cemeteries in Canada to Category:African-American cemeteries and Category:History of Black people in Canada
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only one member page has been identified for this intersection so far. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge but not to African-American cemeteries. I don't see what makes this cemetery African-American since it is located in Canada and is already in Category:Black Canadian culture in New Brunswick.--User:Namiba 14:59, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom, I think the targets as nominated are correct because it concerns African-Americans from the United States. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. I believe this cemetery is historically African-American because a number of formerly enslaved people from the newly independant United States who remained loyal (Black loyalists) to the British during the Revolutionary Wars resettled in this region afterwards.

 * Propose merging:
 * Category:Bakersfield Blaze coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Brooklyn Cyclones coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Gary SouthShore RailCats coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Inland Empire 66ers coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Jamestown Expos coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Las Vegas 51s coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Long Island Ducks coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Oakland Ballers coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Rochester Red Wings coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Staten Island FerryHawks coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Staten Island Yankees coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Category:Syracuse Chiefs coaches to Category:Minor league baseball coaches
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Most of these categories are very small and are unlikely to be heavily populated either. Additionally, coaches tend to switch between Minor league levels (Triple-A, Double-A, and so on) for better positions so one coach rarely stay with one team that long. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep all They do not only diffuse minor league baseball coaches, but also categories for the teams themselves. The proposal is malformed, but even if it weren't, diffusing is useful.
 * ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Koavf, you make a good point but most of these categories have only one or two coaches. If you think they can be populated sufficiently I will gladly withdraw this nomination. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:29, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep all WP:SMALLCAT is deprecated and it is unclear on what basis this nomination is made. For a professional sportsperson, it is naturally defining for which teams they coached or played.--User:Namiba 14:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Namiba, that most of these have between one or three coaches. Again, if these categories can be further populated, I will withdraw the Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:14, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * What does the number of articles in the category have to do with it? WP:SMALLCAT no longer applies. Besides, these are mostly active teams and more coaches will be added as time passes.--User:Namiba 17:16, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Namiba, I realize that WP:SMALLCAT doesn't apply anymore but that wasn't why I nominated it. I just don't see these categories growing all that much because minor league coaches, unless they were once major leaguers OR went on to become Major league coaches or managers, tend not to have articles on them. Nevertheless, I will withdraw the nomination. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:31, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Not very helpful to only have one person in here, I think upmerging to the broader category would be more helpful. Mason (talk) 03:08, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is not the same as a school board.--User:Namiba 04:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete. Mojtaba Mirzadeh is already in and . Mohammad Oraz is already in  and . These activities do not seem to be specific to Kurdish ethnicity per WP:EGRS/I, and both ethnicity and occupation are already covered by existing parent categories. Place Clichy (talk) 02:00, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
