 * Nominator's rationale: Category of just two items.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  22:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting panthoibi
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category. This is what disambig. pages are for.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  18:48, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, duplicate of Panthoibi (disambiguation). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:27, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting pakhangba
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category. This is what disambig. pages are for.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  18:48, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, only two articles in the category which already link to each other directly. As soon as there are quite a few articles about Pakhangba temples we may start a dedicated category for that. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Ningthou to Category:Meitei gods
 * Nominator's rationale: I can't 100% work out what this category is supposed to represent. The members of the category appear to be Meitei/Sanamahist gods, but the article Ningthou says that Ningthou is an old title for the King of Manipur. We already have a category Meitei gods, so I think the right action is probably to merge.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  18:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Support in principle, but just delete because articles are already in (a subcategory of) Category:Meitei deities when applicable. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Football hooliganism in the Czech Republic to Category:Association football hooliganism
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge for now, as it only contains 1 article. No prejudice against re-creation if there are more WP:DEFINING instances in other articles. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Labor ministers of the Bahamas to Category:Labour ministers of the Bahamas
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TIES, Labour is the spelling used in The Bahamas. See here for the Bahamas cabinet AusLondonder (talk) 12:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, normally I wouldn't vote in English-language matters, but the source is quite convincing. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Marcocapelle, I assume you mean rename? — Qwerfjkl  talk  18:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: All of these have one category layer and/or one article which is unhelpful for navigation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:45, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: The diaspora by continent categories in Category:Malaysian diaspora have a similar problem. Only one layer which is of "people by descent". IMO, the parent category should be simplified to Category:Malaysian expatriates, Category:Malaysian emigrants, and Category:People of Malaysian descent for the time being.

 * Delete all but Kedai Makan may be added directly to Category:Malaysian diaspora. Apart from this one article about a restaurant this is all content about people, for which we already have a category tree by itself. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Done. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion of Singapore category which also holds 4 articles about buildings. Deletion of the parent "by country" can still go ahead as the Singapore category will still be parented by Category:Malaysian diaspora in Asia. – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Singapore, merge the others to Category:Foo–Malaysia relations, without prejudice for a later re-creation if more content emerges. Indeed this layer is not very useful it it only contains a people of Malaysian descent category. However the Singapore category has other content (about Malay mosques), and Malays are a significant component ethnicity of Singapore. Also, the Fooian people of Malaysian descent categories need to be kept within the bilateral relations category. Place Clichy (talk) 13:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
