 * Category:Major League Soccer coaches to Category:Major League Soccer head coaches – Category is specifically for head coaches.

 * Comment That makes me wonder if the other categories have it wrong. Would love to hear from someone more familiar in the topic area whether "Samoa" was in common usage during this period for the country, excluding American Samoa. (I'm sure it was in use to describe the archipelago). - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not an expert by any means, but a look on the National Library of New Zealand's Papers Past website (NZ and Samoa are quite connected, even after independence in 1962) seems to suggest that "Samoa" was used to refer to Western Samoa reasonably often. ― <kbd style="font-size:85%"><b style="color:#270;rotate:-2deg;display:inline-block">novov</b> (t   c)  03:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This needs a broader discussion. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Transgender prostitutes to Category:Transgender sex workers
 * Nominator's rationale: Possibly due as a broader topic, as well as being the preferred terminology in newer sources. GnocchiFan (talk) 20:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not all sex workers are prostitutes. Apokrif (talk) 20:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but all prostitutes are sex workers, which is why I am proposing the merge that way around. I mention that this is the preferred terminology as in many newer sources, trans prostitutes are routinely described as sex workers instead of prostitutes, which may lead to issues in categorisation and WP:OR. But that's just an additional consideration - the main thing here is that is this a big enough topic to split into two separate but interrelated categories at this point? (Personally, I am on the fence on this, but proposing the merge to seek further editor input). - GnocchiFan (talk) 20:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Seawolf35 <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">T--C 00:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If prostitutes are called sex workers nowadays then Wikipedia's sex workers categories are too broad. This requires a broader discussion, it is not specifically a transgender topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:54, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * See the above - I only mentioned that due to possible overlap, the terms are not synonymous. My main concern is that the trans-specific category may not be large enough to have this level of subcategorisation, which may not apply to the other sex worker categories. GnocchiFan (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There are 5 articles and 2 redirects in the category, that is usually considered (just) sufficient. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:06, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. (non-admin closure) Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Dutch Caribbean to ???
 * Nominator's rationale: I speedied this to "Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean" per previous Cfd but it reversed for some reason. While I initially preferred the rename to Category:Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean to match all in its parent categories I realize now that most of these places are still under Dutch control so I'm not sure if this would count as a "diaspora".

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The main article is also Dutch Caribbean but as the article explains it is a sort of a historical region, no longer officially existing as a unified polity but the term still being used in common language. Argueably the whole tree might be deleted in order to just keep Dutch Caribbean article. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, would you be in favor of creating a diaspora category for Dutch Caribbean, like there is for Category:British diaspora in the Caribbean that would have subcats on Dutch Caribbean culture and people of Dutch descent living beyond as well as within Dutch-controlled lands in the region? Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Dutch diaspora in the Caribbean would be a sensible category, as it will include descendants of Dutch people who settled there when it still existed as a unity, as the Dutch Antilles. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, I'll get on it. In the mean time, I guess we will have to do something about Category:Dutch Caribbean and its related categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

 * If any next step, it should be nominating the entire tree in a fresh discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:50, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, per main article Dutch Caribbean. This is a valid category tree among the larger to gather all Dutch territories, past and present, with different statuses, in the Caribbean region. That's a totally different topic from Dutch diaspora in.., and yet another sign that Fooian Barian adjectives are a very wrong way to name categories for diasporas.

 * Propose deleting captive people
 * Propose deleting fictional captives
 * Nominator's rationale: "Captive" is so vague as to clearly violate WP:NONDEF. In the real life version it could be seen as an invitation for biased category additions based on one's subjective interpretation of what a "captive" is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose, this is not as vague or "non-defining" as you claim. Both of these categories are simple in definition, and it is more of a defacto container category. What all of these subcategories within have in common are just people who were legally or illegally captured by other people. There is nothing confusing about the scale or scope of them. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:46, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I should note that there is a specific template to indicate something's a container category, which this wasn't marked with. However, even so, I don't think it is large enough to require such a category and would qualify as a narrow intersection. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Delete this and all its subcats for the same reason as Template:WP1.0. This serves no purpose. Category:Wikipedia CD Selection-GAs‎ is completely identical to Category:GA-Class_articles except that it does not contain subcats. There's no argument for historical value.

 * Can't find the link at the moment, but the total list of pages that was selected was put on a page when relevant categories were last discussed, so deleting the categories shouldn't lose too much.

 * Nominator's rationale: duplicate categories with no clear difference. Rename the first category per its own parents, and as it contains both universities and colleges. The difference between a university and a college is anyway not consistent from one educational system to another. Place Clichy (talk) 01:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Support per nom, "multinational" appears to coincide with "international" in this case. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not the same. "Cat:International Universities" are bodies which may have a single owner in multiple locations. (Like Northeastern University. Based in Boston, but also in Toronto, Ontario, Canada etc..) That might be better as just "Cat:University or College campuses (by location)" The include by country, state, town, city et al.
 * "Cat:Multinational universities and colleges are schools" which may be owned by multiple governments and thus no any single government may own it anymore than any other. Is far different (Like University of the West Indies.). One is type of governance. One is type of ownership structure. Not an improvement. CaribDigita (talk) CaribDigita (talk) 06:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, an international university is defined as funded by the governments of many countries and thereby is controlled by the officials from the government of different countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think that this difference reflects the way the categories are currently populated, which I assume is the product of honest mistakes. Practically, I don't think either that this difference can be usefully maintained in the long run in the form of two separate categories. Note that universities or colleges established under the governance of several countries will also, most often, have a physical presence in these several countries.
