Category:Films about the Rwandan genocide

 * 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: merge into a single category located at Category:Films about the Rwandan genocide, but with the history of  Category:Rwandan genocide films. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Films about the Rwandan genocide to Category:Rwandan genocide films
 * Nominator's rationale: These two categories are about the same thing. Also, I would like to point out that the only reason I made Category:Rwandan genocide films the target of the merger is because that one was created first. Personally, I actually would prefer the title be Category:Films about the Rwandan genocide. Charles Essie (talk) 23:56, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You could nominate the older category for a speedy rename. That would facilitate keeping the history of the older category and getting the better name. (and if you decide not to go that route, I'd support a merge and then rename) Mason (talk) 01:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, then rename per above. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Medical geneticists by nationality to Category:Medical geneticists
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Only one category in here, which isn't helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, redundant category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Russian leprologists to Category:Russian physicians and Category:Leprologists
 * Propose splitting Category:Venezuelan leprologists to Category:Leprologists and Category:Venezuelan physicians
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to diffuse this specialty by nationality when there are one or two people in it Mason (talk) 22:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Part of an established category tree. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That is a circular argument. After the merge very little of the tree will be left. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 22:28, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting arab culture by nationality
 * Nominator's rationale: Again, not everything related to the culture of Iraq (Syria, Djibouti, etc.) is Arab culture. Yorkporter (talk) 21:44, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Palestinian sportspeople by populated place to Category:People by populated place in the Palestinian territories
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This layer is redundant as it only has Footballers by city or town in the Palestinian territories‎ in it. Mason (talk) 01:18, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  19:13, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Alternative: it is subCategory:Footballers by city or town in the Palestinian territories that should be upmerged. The term Palestinian Territories is no longer in use and this is not a history category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * equally fine with me Mason (talk) 02:41, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have tagged Category:Footballers by city or town in the Palestinian territories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Propose merging Category:American comedians of British descent to Category:American people of British descent
 * Propose merging Category:American comedians of European descent to Category:American comedians by ethnic or national origin
 * Nominator's rationale: Do we really need to diffuse comedians by descent? Mason (talk) 03:54, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge all, trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle There are a lot of these, but just for Category:American comedians of European descent. I'll add the rest to the nom Mason (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge all per nom.--NoonIcarus (talk) 11:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Category:South African optometrists

 * 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: merge as nominated. WP:SMALLCAT has been deprecated, so the balance of arguments as well as numbers favors a merge. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 16:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:South African optometrists to Category:Optometrists and Category:South African health professionals
 * Propose splitting Category:Chinese optometrists to Category:Chinese health professionals and Category:Optometrists
 * Propose splitting Category:Filipino optometrists to Category:Optometrists and Category:Filipino health professionals

 * Propose splitting Category:Nigerian optometrists to Category:Nigerian health professionals and Category:Optometrists
 * Propose splitting Category:Singaporean optometrists to Category:Singaporean health professionals and Category:Optometrists
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need for a pile of nationality categories with one or two people in them. It's unhelpful for navigation. (And I tried to populate all of the categories, but there just weren't pages to add). Mason (talk) 02:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Dual merge per nom. Maybe with the only exception of South Africa, which has two entries, but definitely leaning towards the merge. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Part of an established category tree. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:14, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That is a circular argument. After the merge very little of the tree will be left. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 16:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting army wives characters
 * Nominator's rationale: Not a redirect category, and only one article in the category is not a redirect. QuicoleJR (talk) 00:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, this does not serve navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:11, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
