Nominator's rationale: the main article was already renamed SFBB (talk) 23:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you forgot the stubs to the rename. And I think that these could be speedied. Mason (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy rename WP:C2D. NLeeuw (talk) 06:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete Merge; as far as I can see, there are no other "by state" categories for fraternities and sororities and, from my understanding, these can have multiple chapters in multiple states. Updated: I realized merging is the better option than outright deleting the category.Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Hardly any originates from Indianapolis. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge As a member of WP Fraternities and Sororities, I find this oddly specific and not needed. Rublamb (talk) 08:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:33, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have this category with only one (or two) nationalities in it, when the parent categories are very empty. Mason (talk) 22:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Mistresses of British royalty. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:33, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete; only two articles. Also, I don't think this fits with "British royalty" since Charles Edward Stewart was born well after his grandfather was dethroned. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 3#Category:Battles by location, and in 2021 Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 April 13#Category:Battles on Czech lands. All items are already in Category:Battles of the Austro-Prussian War (which might be worth putting in Category:Military history of the Czech Republic?) or Category:Battles involving Bohemia, more specifically Category:Battles of the Hussite Wars.

Category:Sport in the Middle East[edit]

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/rename as nominated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:40, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: West Asia and the Middle East largely overlap, so we do not need both categories. We already have categories for South Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Therefore, it makes more sense to keep the West Asia category and eliminate the "Middle East" category. This would align better with the existing geographic categorization.

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, no other modern countries have a category like this, and the two articles are also quite unconnected. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Unlike such categories as Category:Prehistoric Pakistan, this is anachronistic on principle. We categorize ancient culture by culture or region, not by modern-day countries. Neither article even belongs — one article is a historical era, and the other is a site dated to the early modern period. They are already in other subcategories of the applicable parents. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 06:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:41, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is exactly the same as a recently deleted category from Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_27#Category:Nepela_Memorial, except that category was created in April 2024 and this one was created in 2008, and this category also includes only one template instead of four. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Bgsu98 (talk · contribs) removed the only member, Template:Nepela Memorial, without explanation. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 16:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Numerous redundant category layers for a single region Mason (talk) 02:59, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. I didn't speedy this because I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Mason (talk) 01:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Laundry and Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:42, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just delete, assuming the header is right about these are English-language writers. Being able to speak Welsh but not write in Welsh is a non-defining characteristic of a writer. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete What langauge one speaks is almost always a trivial characteristic. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 06:31, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. What language one speaks is not always a trivial characteristic, and certainly not when it's a minority language; that is a monoglot's view. However, I accept that there are few writers who speak but don't write in Welsh. What would make sense is to ensure that any entry that is in both categories is present in [[Category:Anglo-Welsh writers]], which is the normal way of describing Welsh writers who do not speak/write in Welsh. The latter are, in a sense, the odd ones out. Please make sure this is listed at the relevant Wikiprojects. Deb (talk) 07:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The intersection between being able to speak a language and the occupation of writing not a defining intersection. Mason (talk) 22:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That depends on many things. Again, your statement sounds like a monoglot view. Deb (talk) 08:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just delete per Marco and Laundry. NLeeuw (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. Discussion of the categorization of Category:Geography of the Dutch East Indies can take place at Category talk:Geography of the Dutch East Indies. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:37, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. It's not necessary to distinguish this level of granularity of what kind of former entity it is (colony versus former country) Mason (talk) 00:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Imperial Roman admirals[edit]

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)LaundryPizza03 (d) 11:30, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge/Purge (the bzyatine category). There's no need to create this parent category of Imperial Roman Foo. It just serves to isolate Byzantine and Ancient Roman child categories from other former nations. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_September_27#Category:Romans_who_received_the_grass_crown for a recent conversation about naming of Roman categories. Mason (talk) 00:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
