merge/rename all as nominated. The consensus is that in the complex and changing history of national boundaries in the periods concerns, these categories are a confusing hybrid of two concepts: "military personnel by belligerent nation" and "people by ethnic or national group". The merger separates those two concepts |

delete. Although the !votes wound up even, deletion is preferred by the nominator, and two of the three !votes for renaming are WP:JUSTAVOTEs by IPs. "Per nom" is a perfectly valid rationaile (heck, I do it a lot), but the overall consensus here, including that of the nom in the end, favors deletion |

no consensus. I am sure that the nominator(s) acted in good faith, but the chopping and changing of this discussion made it hard to follow, which may be a factor in the low levels of participation in the discussion. If editors want to bring some or all of these proposals back to CFD, please can they try to follow the conventional layout for CFD |
May 4
|
| Category:Books based on television series |
rename Category:Lists of books based on works to Category:Lists of novels based on works. I don't see a consensus for renaming to Category:Lists of books based on productions in other media forms, and there is not a consensus for renaming to Category:Lists of novels based on works either. However, there is a consensus that the current name should be changed, so I'm going with the nominated form which simply changes "books" to "novels". I see this as probably preferable to a "do-nothing" no consensus result. This is without prejudice to a future nomination to rename the category. |

| Church buildings |
rename. Six weeks in, no one seems willing to close this, and so I'm going to do so despite having voted below. The categories below are the seven outliers amid 122 "Churches in X" categories in Category:Church buildings by country. I'm going to rename these to conform to the rest, with no prejudice whatsoever against a mass rename of the entire tree or splitting the categories in twain or anything else. But whatever happens from here, it should apply to the entire tree, not just these seven sparsely populated categories |
May 4
|
| Category:Churches in Berlin bombed by the WWII Allied air forces |
upmerge to Category:Ruined churches of World War II, which may be nominated for renaming at editors' discretion. I verified that all members of the category appear in Category:Churches in Berlin or Category:Former church buildings in Berlin, so upmerging does not result in a loss of information. Category:British churches bombed by the Luftwaffe was not tagged and, thus, will not be upmerged, though it may be nominated at any time (when nominating, please take care to verify all potential upmerge targets). -- |

no consensus. The category lists no head article, and the nominator does not assert what he believes the head article to be (let alone help other CfD participants by linking to it), so the rationale for this rename is unclear. The only other commenter disagrees, but there was little discussion ... so feel free to renominate with a clearer rationale |

no consensus, which defaults to "keep". A bizarre nomination with a rationale which makes no sense to me, and an alternate proposal which is equally unclear. However, the nominator's alternate proposal involves no action at CfD and is supported by one other editor, so the clear outcome is to do nothing. However, since it's unclear exactly what was being rejected, I am labelling the close as "no consensus", to leave open the option of a further nomination if anyone wants to explain what this is all about |

| Category:Predominantly African American Christian denominations |
rename to Category:Historically African-American Christian denominations and Category:Clergy of historically African-American Christian denominations. While a sudden alteration in membership could conceivably change the "predominantly" part, it can't change the history. There's no consensus on the "black" vs. "African-American" part, but I am adding the hyphen to conform with similar recent changes |

| Category:UEFA football clubs 2012–13 season |
no consensus, leaning to split. Just because it's atypical doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. These are articles for seasons, not teams, and so they are not overcategorized as it stands. Since UEFA is quite important, this stands for now. The split has merit to the commenters, so if someone is inclined to do so, go ahead. It's possible that one half (likely Champions League) might survive and the other might not |

| Category:User ff |
speedy delete (CSD G6: uncontroversial maintenance). As far as I can tell, this category for speakers of the Fula language was populated by {{User ff-0}}, a template used by those who do not speak the language. The template recently was modified (per Wikipedia:Babel) to remove the category code and the category was left empty. It may be recreated, as a part of Category:Wikipedians by language, if there is anyone to (properly) categorize. -- |
