 * Merge, consistent with Template:Democratic Republic of the Congo-politician-stub. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:12, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * 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: rename to Category:Kiryas Joel–Poughkeepsie–Newburgh metropolitan area. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 18:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown metropolitan area to Category:Kiryas Joel–Poughkeepsie–Newburgh metropolitan area
 * Nominator's rationale: In July 2023, the "Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown" MSA was officially renamed to the "Kiryas Joel–Poughkeepsie–Newburgh" MSA, by OMB Bulletin 23-01 (see page 22, PDF page 25). The motivation for the rename is that in the 2020 census, Kiryas Joel is now the largest municipality in the MSA. The article name has already been moved, this is to update the Category name to match. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 18:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Independent Mexico to Category:Modern Mexico
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, odd combination of name and period, independence of Mexico did not end in 1876. It is not backed up by an article Independent Mexico either. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 16:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Category:Khoja Ismailism

 * 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: rename (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 18:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Khoja Ismailism to Category:Khoja Ismailis
 * Nominator's rationale: All of the members of this category are biographies of Khoja Ismailis. Ismailism is the sect. Ismaili people are Ismailis. It's like if there were a category called "Roman Catholicism" which was populated only by the biographies of Roman Catholic people instead of articles about the religion. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 19:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename, this is clearly a category of biographies, not a category about the topic Khoja Ismailism. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 18:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Horn African people to Category:People from the Horn of Africa
 * Nominator's rationale: In line with other subcategories under Category:People by continent and region, the title People from Foo is clearly preferable to using a demonym. Yorkporter (talk) 19:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 16:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 18:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:People temporarily excommunicated by the Catholic Church to Category:People excommunicated by the Catholic Church
 * Nominator's rationale: Does this distinction really matter in terms of WP:DEFINING? Mason (talk) 17:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, there is no reason to make a distinction. With many articles in Category:People excommunicated by the Catholic Church it is simply unclear whether the subjects were still excommunicated when they died, or alternatively they left the Catholic Church so that the excommunication became moot. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: alt dual merge as proposed by Marcocapelle. (non-admin closure) <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 19:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:21st-century Cebuano male singers to Category:Cebuano male singers and Category:21st-century Filipino male singers
 * Propose splitting Category:21st-century Cebuano women singers to Category:Cebuano women singers and Category:21st-century Filipino women singers
 * Propose splitting Category:20th-century Cebuano actresses to Category:20th-century Filipino actresses and Category:Cebuano actresses
 * Propose splitting Category:21st-century Cebuano actresses to Category:Cebuano actresses and Category:21st-century Filipino actresses
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to diffuse these category at the intersection of occupation, gender, and ethnic group by century Mason (talk) 17:01, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge, but merge the first two to Category:Cebuano singers instead of Category:Cebuano male singers and Category:Cebuano female singers, there is no point in creating new categories that are so small in size. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Are you cool with Marco's suggestion for an alt merge?<span id="HouseBlaster:1710701901143:WikipediaFTTCLNCategories_for_discussion/Log/2024_March_9" class="FTTCmt"> <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 18:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting sufism reoriented
 * Nominator's rationale: Created a couple of days back, everything is already in the parent category Category:Works by Meher Baba so there's no need to merge anything either. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  16:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 18:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting egyptian seduction actresses
 * Nominator's rationale: Not defining. No need to merge because the only page in here is already in 21st century Egyptian actresses Mason (talk) 16:55, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. It is unclear what the term "seduction actress" means, and it is possibly defamatory / BLP violation. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 21:25, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed the only article in the category, due to the BLP concern, so this category is now empty. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 21:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment Yep, this category is empty now. It was also created by a sockpuppet but is not eligible for CSD G5. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 22:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting winter olympics coaches by sport and year

 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge with parent category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, unhelpful distinction, most newspapers important enough to contain a journalists subcategory will inevatably be a national newspaper. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 16:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:The Hill (newspaper) journalists to Category:The Hill (newspaper) people

 * Nominator's rationale: merge first one per WP:NARROWCAT; there is no other genre-specific NYT category or for any other newspaper. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:13, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, and I don't know how relevant this is (or if it is at all), but the NY Times discontinued its sports section so this category won't be growing. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Vertebrate attacks to Category:Animal attacks
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between verebrate and attack. At the very least Category:Invertebrate attacks needs to be purged. Mason (talk) 05:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment - LOL this whole section of wikipedia is so chaotic and I kind of love it but whatever you need or want to do gets no objection from me, I just wanted to mention that the generally laughable vertebrate-invertebrate "attack" category distinction was created by me as a way of bringing some semblance of order to the "bites and stings" (and maulings) grouped together in this template: Template:Animal bites and stings -- do leopard attacks and cone snail darts have anything in common? Not really except they were animal-human interactions (that maybe didnt go so well for the human). So anyway I salute your attempts to tame this beast, as it were... Cheers, jengod (talk) 05:51, 9 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge if only to Category:Animal attacks by taxon because that is a redudant category layer with only two subcategories. I am not opposed to the nomination either. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Only one page in here, which isn't very helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 03:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm also not convinced that this category scheme at the intersection of current location and century of creation is that helpful. I'd love some thoughts on Category:Paintings in Denmark by century in general. Mason (talk) 03:27, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Until the 18th century it is very thinly populated, you might well nominate them too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Added up thru the 18th to the nom Mason (talk) 17:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Single merge to Category:15th-century paintings etc., not to Category:Paintings in Denmark because the articles are already in Category:Paintings in the National Gallery of Denmark if the paintings are in Denmark at all.

 * Merge or reverse merge per nom. I vaguely remember a debate about "subdivision" seemingly not being a proper English word in this context and "administrative division" being the proper term. If that is the case it should be a reverse merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
