 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Syrian Turkmens to Category:Syrian Turkmen and Category:Syrian Turkmen people
 * Nominator's rationale: The previous nomination at Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 13 appears flawed to me. The individual biographies should be moved down into the existing set category subcat . The topic category should be renamed back to match the main article Syrian Turkmen, which already uses that term as a plural without adding "s", for Syrians of Turkish origin. IIUC, "Turk-men" is already a plural, referring to people of Turkish origin, whereas "Turkmens" are people from Central Asia. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Pinging previous participants, , . – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support nom. If this is the best way to categorize this group of people then I have no objection. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: closely related article Iraqi Turkmen is a lot more detailed on how the term Turkmen/Turkoman/Turcoman came to describe this group in Iraq and Syria, instead of just Turk. That article does use the plural Turkmens, although inconsistently. Note that the etymology comes from the transcription of an Arabic suffix, and not from English man/men as in e.g. Norseman/Norsemen. Neither article suggests that Turkman is the singular. The associated category is Category:Iraqi Turkmens. Article Turkmen Mountain consistently uses Turkmen for the singular and Turkmens for the plural. I agree with moving biographies though, which I did as it does not require CfD. There are plenty of articles about ethnic groups which use the singular or the adjective as a title, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here. Place Clichy (talk) 00:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Place Clichy's explanation is very plausible. Other European languages preserve "men" in their translation of Turkmenistan while men is not the plural of man in those languages. I suppose in English "men" in Turkmenistan is also unrelated to the plural of man. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Do we really need "1990s Indian superhero films" which has only two entries? The parent categories aren't so insanely overpopulated that they need such further subdivision. <b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b> (talk)  10:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose; "by period" is useful for e.g. antiquity and Renaissance, while "by date" is a useful sub-cat for centuries, years etc. By all means rename the radio parent and others like it to "by date". – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, sub-cat Category:Texts by date includes medieval alongside by-century etc. It should probably be "Texts by period" like its sub-cat ; but it would not be helpful to separate out the by-date categories from historical eras for each medium. Category:Architecture by date and its parent Category:Architecture by period have enough to justify both, but most media/types of work do not; so I do not strongly oppose the merge. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak oppose Although I do see the advantages of a merge, I've got the same concerns as Fayenatic. I've got a slight favour of the present situation, as "date" implies at least a year, and "period" is much broader and thus not synonymous. Incidentally, renaming Texts by date to Texts by period seems a good idea. NLeeuw (talk) 17:02, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Works about history by country. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 16:24, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:History of countries on work to Category:Works about history by country
 * Nominator's rationale: rename, the current category name is just odd. An alternative could be Category:History works about countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Either would be a much better name. (I slightly like the proposed name better than the alternative) Mason (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Hurricane season button templates to Category:Tropical cyclone season button templates
 * Nominator's rationale: Hurricanes are not the only type of storm this is used for. This should be moved to accurately reflect usage. In a similar vein, Template:Hurricane season bar button, Template:Hurricane season bar end, Template:Hurricane season bar gap, and Template:Hurricane season bar start should also be moved (hurricane to tropical cyclone). <b style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200">Noah</b>, AA<b style="color:#ff0000">Talk</b> 11:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename, consistent with Hurricane being a redirect to Tropical cyclone. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: This category and its subcategories were all added very recently. I would suggest deleting the category and all subcategories as WP:NONDEF violations as I don't believe being a "launch title" is defining and is more like advertising than anything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  19:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Czech footbag players to Category:Footbag players and Category:Czech sportspeople
 * Propose splitting Category:Swiss footbag players to Category:Footbag players and Category:Swiss sportspeople
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Not enough people to diffuse by nationality Mason (talk) 01:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Single merge to Category:Footbag players and manually add Jan Weber to Category:Czech sportspeople. The other articles are already in a sportspeople by city category so a dual merge is not needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
