Category:Azure Striker Gunvolt series

 * 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 (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 16:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Azure Striker Gunvolt series to Category:Azure Striker Gunvolt
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, the parent category is nearly empty and a "series" subcategory is not very common. This was opposed at WP:CFDS where it was nominated for C2F which obviously does not apply. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * pinging participants to speedy discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Loanwords in Indonesian to Category:Lists of loanwords in Indonesian
 * Nominator's rationale: To match all other subcategories of Category:Lists of loanwords. Belbury (talk) 17:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: soft rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming category to Category:Flag icon tracking categories
 * Propose renaming category to Category:Flag decoration missing country data templates
 * Propose renaming category to Category:Flag icons missing country data templates
 * Propose renaming category to Category:Pages using flag icon template with unknown parameters
 * Nominator's rationale: Match categories with flag icon and flag decoration (which were recently WP:BOLDMOVEd per WP:TPN). I also think we should change with missing to simply missing, as the former construction is a little awkward. House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 16:47, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No objections to the unknown parameter category renaming. Thanks for the talk page notice leading me here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Climbing video games to Category:Climbing and mountaineering video games
 * Nominator's rationale: Finishing the tidying up of these climbing/mountaineering categories and want to align their naming with the others, such as Category:Works about climbing and mountaineering. Aszx5000 (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Climbing magazines to Category:Climbing and mountaineering magazines and journals
 * Nominator's rationale: Finishing the tidying up of these climbing/mountaineering categories and want to align their naming with the recently renamed others (such as Category:Works about climbing and mountaineering). Should also add the term "journals" here as there are several 'mountaineering journals' contained in this category. Aszx5000 (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:1890 establishments in Malawi

 * 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) 22:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:1890 establishments in Malawi to Category:1890 establishments in the British Central Africa Protectorate
 * Propose renaming Category:1901 establishments in Malawi to Category:1901 establishments in the British Central Africa Protectorate
 * Propose renaming Category:1910 establishments in Malawi to Category:1910 establishments in Nyasaland
 * Nominator's rationale: "YYYY establishments" categories are supposed to follow the name the place had at the time, not the name it has now, so "Malawi" is an anachronism in these years. (In addition to these, I also found a couple of siblings where "YYYY in the More Appropriate Name for that Year" already existed, so I've simply redirected those accordingly -- but in the cases batched here, the appropriate "British Central Africa Protectorate" or "Nyasaland" category doesn't already exist yet, so the Malawi one would need to be moved.) Bearcat (talk) 14:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am the creator of the categories and I agree with the above renaming proposal as it makes more sense. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 14:39, 28 May 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: delete (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 16:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting people of african descent by country
 * Nominator's rationale: There is no such container category for other continents, and there is no valid reason to make an exception for Africa. All these categories are already included in the tree through categories like  and, among others. Aldij (talk) 13:02, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to parent category. Only one article. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, this is not helpful for navigation between related articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/they) 16:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose splitting Category:Broadway restaurateurs to Category:Businesspeople from Manhattan and Category:American restaurateurs
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. This is a WP:OCNARROW Mason (talk) 02:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Dual merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I created this category. It is worth noting that it is not intended for restauranteurs who run restaurants physically located on Broadway in NYC, but instead for those who run restaurants which cater to and are frequented by "Broadway people" - actors, directors, theatre-goers, etc. As such, it is a rather specific list, and I think it has some value that would be lost if it was eliminated. OTOH, I created a bunch of these categories a while back and some of them have been eliminated already for similar reasons, by editors who didn't see the point in special-casing "Broadway".Brianyoumans (talk) 20:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We do not even have restaurateurs categories by U.S. states or cities. By state would be acceptable though. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia formatting and function templates

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:Wikipedia formatting and function templates to Category:Wikipedia utility templates
 * Nominator's rationale: From the hatnote, If you do not find what you are looking for in here, try the parent category Category:Wikipedia utility templates or one of its other subcategories. The distinction between these categories is unclear, and this one may need to up-merge. Either they need to merge (which is probably the easiest), or we need to come up with a clear distinction between the two (which will be a pain to put into effect, unless there is some preexisting distinction that is not clear to me). House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:12, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge. What does "function template" even mean? jlwoodwa (talk) 05:45, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Executed Nazi propagandists to Category:Nazi propagandists and Category:Executed Nazis
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge. Non-defining intersection between occupation + political orientation + cause of death. Mason (talk) 00:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Just delete, the articles are already in the tree of Category:Executed collaborators with Nazi Germany and the articles are not about propagandists per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
 * thoughts on deletion? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 21:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Works for me. I'm always grateful that Macro checks to see if we even need to merge. :) Mason (talk) 22:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
