 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 11:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Early Germanic music to Category:Early Germanic culture
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now, there's not enough content to support a category right now. There's only one page in here (and Early Germanic music redirects to Early Germanic culture Mason (talk) 22:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Upmerge per nom. NLeeuw (talk) 06:15, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, the article is about the 8th/9th century in the British Isles, that is outside the scope of early Germanic culture. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:52, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * thoughts on the deletion proposal? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 01:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Good point. I'm fine with the alterative. Mason (talk) 02:15, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, on closer inspection we could Just delete it. NLeeuw (talk) 05:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 01:48, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:Native Americans' rights activists to Category:Activists for Native American rights
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename to make the distinction between being an activist who is of native american ancestry and someone who is in support of the rights of people who are of native american ancestry. This category is a siblings to Category:Activists for African-American civil rights‎ and Category:Activists for Hispanic and Latino American civil rights, which were renamed following this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_November_4#Category:African-Americans'_civil_rights_activists Mason (talk) 22:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 08:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. PersusjCP (talk) 15:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - seems reasonable. -- A Rose Wolf  12:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - per nom. Makes sense. Netherzone (talk) 00:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Support in principle, but why not "civil rights" like the other categories? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I would think it's because not only does "Native American rights" encompass civil rights, but also treaty rights. PersusjCP (talk) 15:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Also there are quite a few Native American environmental justice rights activists, too. Netherzone (talk) 00:23, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Lists of airports in Massachusetts to Category:Lists of places in Massachusetts
 * Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. Let&#39;srun (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Places" doesn't make sense. Up-merge to Airports in the United States and delete category all together. CaribDigita (talk) 21:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to Category:Lists of airports in the United States for now without prejudice per CaribDigita. NLeeuw (talk) 06:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Punjabi diaspora in Asia to Category:Punjabi diaspora by country
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, not enough content for diffusion by continent. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:32, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge for now per nom. Normally a "by country" category is a containercat, but in this case it's not marked as such, and it would create an impractical situation if it were (as indicated by nom), so it's fine. NLeeuw (talk) 06:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Book of Joel people to Category:Book of Joel
 * Propose merging Category:Book of Nahum people to Category:Book of Nahum
 * Propose merging Category:Book of Zephaniah people to Category:Book of Zephaniah
 * Propose merging Category:Book of Habakkuk people to Category:Book of Habakkuk
 * Nominator's rationale: merge delete , single-article categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Not every Hebrew Bible book must have its own people category per se. There is no need to merge to Category:Hebrew Bible people, the articles are already in Category:Prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * do you mean "merge"? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 01:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Tuvan independence activists to Category:Tuvan activists
 * Nominator's rationale: Broaden this category so it can include other kinds of activists. Mason (talk) 04:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:Tuvan people and Category:Independence activists as it is rather unlikely that we can further populate an activists category. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Marcocapelle's alt proposal. NLeeuw (talk) 14:13, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * does this work for you? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 01:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Martiniquais people by ethnic or national origin to Category:Martiniquais people by descent
 * Propose renaming Category:Saint Martinois people by ethnic or national origin to Category:Saint Martinois people by descent
 * Propose renaming Category:People from Overseas France by ethnic or national origin to Category:People from Overseas France by descent
 * Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency with their subcategories which are all "by descent", as well as for consistency with Category:French people by descent at the top of the tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom Mason (talk) 04:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Books about suicide. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 01:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Suicide books to Category:Books about suicide and Category:Suicide methods
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge: These categories seem to be extremely overlapping Mason (talk) 02:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I want to take a moment to clarify the nature of the category we're discussing. It appears there might have been a misunderstanding, and I'd like to ensure we're on the same page. The category in question pertains to books on the topic of DIY suicide. These books delve into sensitive and potentially dangerous instructions related to suicide. As such, they carry a significant degree of risk and responsibility. It's important to recognize that their content can have serious implications for individuals who may be vulnerable or in distress. Given the sensitive nature of this subject matter, it's understandable that there may be concerns regarding the availability and promotion of such materials. Our intention is not to offend or upset, but rather to approach this topic with caution and consideration for the well-being of all individuals involved. I apologize if there was any confusion regarding the purpose or scope of this category. Geysirhead (talk) 06:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Noted. NLeeuw (talk) 06:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Single merge to Category:Books about suicide; Category:Suicide methods does not seem to be an appropriate merge target. Perhaps keep a redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Single merge per Marcocapelle. A book about suicide can be about a lot more than just the methods. Think about motives, underlying causes, social impact, prevention, statistics, cultural depictions and references, etc. NLeeuw (talk) 14:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Great points! Mason (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
