| (X)-related websites |
rename Category:Chat-related websites and Category:Guitar-related websites; no consensus on Category:Animation-related websites, for which I highly recommend a separate discussion. Actually, there is consensus to rename the 'Animation' category, with Category:Websites about animation appearing to be the favored name, but it is less clear what to do with articles that would no longer belong in the renamed category – i.e., animation-related websites that are not about animation. I will initiate a neutral nomination of the 'Animation' category in a few days if no one has nominated it by then. -- |

| Category:1859 Atlantic hurricane season |
merge to Category:1850–1859 Atlantic hurricane seasons. As only the 1859 category was tagged, it will be the only one merged as a result of this discussion. There appears, however, to be a consensus to merge underpopulated year categories to decade categories up to at least 1900, and possibly even 1950. I recommend that any follow-up nomination(s) be made in at least two parts, separating 1800–1899 and 1900–1949, in order to help clarify consensus and to limit the number of categories per nomination so that editors can check whether there may be a need to keep certain years or upmerge certain articles to appropriate 'xxxx disasters' categories. -- |

no consensus, without prejudice (as almost always) to any follow-up nomination or discussion. As in the discussion above, there is no clear consensus on what the exact scope of this category should be. I was tempted to rename to jc37's suggested name, but the fact that the category contains non-U.S. Californians means that a more focused discussion would be needed to implement that change. -- |

keep. This is a split discussion, and it is the kind of triple intersection that CfD normally doesn't approve of. But here, the keep side is strongly supported by the similar subcategorization of quite a few other LGBT categories by occupation and nationality. Category:LGBT musicians by nationality shows why: with 421 American LGBT musicians alone, the category could easily get swamped without subcategorization. So I'm validating the approach here, which leaves the problem that several of the subcategories were emptied in advance, and now have to be reconstituted. I will ask |

listify subcats and delete.

Category:Place names by location is not meant to hold the places themselves, but (i) articles about toponymy and (ii) lists which can include explanations and citations. The "place names of Foo origin" sub-cats within Category:Names of places in the United States are all eligible for nomination. (Non-admin closure.) – |
