Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2013 March index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:1780s fashion (and other #s fashion categories) | No Consensus to delete. Further discussion may prove fruitful, as is typical in such cases - but there is not enough of a consensus here to keep or delete | March 16 |
| Category:1865 establishments in Pakistan | merge to Category:1865 establishments in India | March 9 |
| Category:1899 rugby union tournaments for national teams | no consensus to delete. This is part of a categorization scheme by year, although strangely there's no collector Category:Rugby union tournaments for national teams | March 15 |
| 19nn in Northern Ireland | upmerge to Ireland categories, except 1920. | March 22 |
| Category:2001 Six Nations | delete (all contents are in the appropriate parent categories) | March 12 |
| Category:2007–08 2009–10 in United States ice hockey/ice hockey by league | rename by weight of precedent. The new Northern Ireland category mentioned below is the only one in Category:Sports by country and year to use the country name rather than the adjective, apart from New Zealand which doesn't have one. – | March 21 |
| Category:2020s in Ghana | speedy deleted per WP:CSD#C1 | March 13 |
| Category:4 August 1978 births | merged | March 23 |
| Category:A-pressen | Rename | March 22 |
| Category:AAAA-rated tourist attractions | no consensus. | March 3 |
| Category:Academic degrees of the United States | withdrawn (non-admin closure) | March 18 |
| Category:Academic journals produced by learned societies | rename. I'm aware that there's no hair so fine we can't split it, but that doesn't mean we should always do so | March 29 |
| Category:Academic journals produced by university presses | rename | March 29 |
| Category:Accounting in Portugal | Withdrawn | March 27 |
| Al Ahli SC (Doha) | Speedy rename C2D | March 28 |
| Category:Albert Einstein prizes | merge to Category:Albert Einstein. | March 7 |
| Category:Alderman in the Netherlands | speedy rename with subcategories under WP:C2E. – | March 30 |
| Category:All Natural Glamour Solos series | delete. | March 10 |
| Category:All Nippon Airways S.C. players | merge and redirect. | March 1 |
| Category:Alpinism | Merge | March 25 |
| Category:American craftsman style | rename per nominator | March 19 |
| Category:American media by market | rename. | March 1 |
| Category:American people of Dougla descent | delete | March 6 |
| Category:American skeptics | keep | March 25 |
| Category:American women writers by city | double upmerge of subcats and delete top cat. – | March 13 |
| Category:Ancient Roman Empire | merge to Category:Roman Empire. This is a brute force solution. There are probably some articles and subcategories that would be better in Category:Ancient Rome | March 12 |
| Anglo-Scots | no consensus | March 22 |
| Category:Animals navigational boxes | rename to Category:Animal navigational boxes | March 12 |
| Category:Anime and manga by demographic | no consensus. The "demographic" is awkward but there's not enough discussion on that subject here for a change | March 1 |
| Category:Apostates | delete. All the contents are properly placed in the Category:Religious converts tree | March 9 |
| Category:Archaeology of prehistoric Anatolia | Merge & rename | March 23 |
| Category:Argentine popes | keep | March 14 |
| Category:Armenians from Fresno | delete | March 7 |
| Artist navigational boxes | rename all | March 12 |
| Category:Aruban people | keep. | March 26 |
| Category:Athletic DNA players | Delete | March 14 |
| Category:Austrian Jews of Slavic European descent | Delete | March 26 |
| Category:Azadliq | Convert to a dab page | March 5 |
| B-Witched | keep all, i.e. do not rename or delete. Talk:B*Witched#Requested_move was closed as "not moved" | March 3 |
| Category:Barbary Coast Trail Neighborhoods and Landmarks | delete | March 18 |
| Category:Baroda High School | delete. I've added a hatnote to the article to disambiguate | March 12 |
| Category:Berkshire society | delete all. The contents are all in the Berkshire/Hampshire trees | March 3 |
| Category:Billboard number-one Tropical Albums | delete | March 4 |
| Category:Births by date | delete. See also a past request here | March 20 |
| Bishops & Archbishops of the Early Church | delete | March 1 |
| Category:Black television drama series | rename to Category:African-American television drama series and purge if needed. It's unclear to me that this is a "genre," but people seem to want to keep this under a different name. Note that Category:Black sitcoms has a head article, Black sitcom, meaning a rename there is less clear | March 15 |
| Category:Bohemian-German people | rename. – | March 8 |
| Category:Bookstores of Korea | Rename | March 14 |
| Category:Bungalow architecture in the United States | keep | March 19 |
| Category:Bungalow/Craftsman architecture in the United States | split. | March 21 |
| Category:Bungalow/Craftsman architecture | Withdrawn and replaced with this discussion | March 19 |
| Category:CableACE award winners | Delete | March 14 |
| Category:California congressional elections, 2006 | speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7 and/or WP:CSD#C1, without prejudice to re-creation. The nominator's cryptic statement "excessive, although not at the time" provides no explanation of why the category became empty, and it appears that itmay have been emptied out of process. Since editors viewing these nominations could not see what the categories used to contain, there can be consensus on what to do with it | March 11 |
| Category:Canadian people of First Nations descent | keep (i.e. do not merge) | March 8 |
| Catalan football club seasons | delete | March 31 |
| Categories for years in French sport(s) | withdrawn by nominator | March 9 |
| Categories related to The Swedish War of Secession | keep Category:Swedish War of Liberation etc following RM discussion of the article. – | March 8 |
| Category:Catskill Fire lookout towers | rename. | March 29 |
| Category:Cherry Red albums | delete (G7) | March 17 |
| Category:Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district | rename to Category:Amethi district | March 2 |
| Category:Children of divorce | delete | March 3 |
| Category:Chimneys in Romania | no consensus as to whether articles on buildings having notable chimneys should be categorised by that characteristic. In any case this category is now part of a set so it would be improper to delete it at this point without a wider nomination. – | March 31 |
| Category:Christian Bible College alumni | delete. This is sure a lot of debate over a category with one article in it. There's no guideline about whether diploma mills get alumni categories, but it's clear that many commenters believe they don't pass the smell test. I don't think we want a lot of categories about rubber-stamp degrees, so let's stop it here | March 15 |
| Category:Christian religious leaders by period | Delete whilst the objections about religious leaders not always being clergy was theoretically true, in fact non of the sub cat members are not clergy so its like discussing angles on a pin, not what categories are for | March 1 |
| Category:Cities and towns in Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district | rename to Category:Cities and towns in Amethi district | March 2 |
| Category:Comic book publishing companies of Korea | delete. – | March 14 |
| Category:Communist regime | delete | March 13 |
| Category:Computer cookbooks | delete | March 9 |
| Category:Counsel appearing in Canadian appeals to the Judicial Committee | Delete | March 26 |
| County Football Championships by year | rename to Category:2008 senior Gaelic football county championships, Category:2009 senior Gaelic football county championships, Category:2010 senior Gaelic football county championships, and Category:2011 senior Gaelic football county championships. I'm going off the board here, because there's no agreement in the debate but a clear need for disambiguation in the category names. There is a category that serves as a guide, though: Category:Senior Gaelic football county championships. It seems obvious to me that simply appending a year in front of those creates the by-year division these categories are striving for, and allows them to be placed in the hierarchy better. If someone has a strenuous objection to this plan, nominate the new categories for renaming and we'll sort it out. (Also, I'm not sure about the capitalization of "senior." If that needs to change, nominate it on Speedy.) | March 13 |
| Category:Crescents | rename, to match head article Crescent (architecture) | March 11 |
| Category:Croatian Nazis | delete | March 14 |
| Category:Current national leaders | do not recreate. | March 6 |
| Category:Danna Paola | delete | March 16 |
| Category:Danville, Virginia metropolitan area | rename. There's no consensus to delete, and so if it stays, it should match the article name | March 15 |
| Category:Davis political family of West Virginia | rename | March 4 |
| Category:Deaths by date | delete. See also a past request here | March 20 |
| Category:Deaths with bayonets | rename | March 29 |
| Category:Dharmic writers | delete Category:Dharmic writers and move the others to Category:Symbols of Indian religions and Category:Indian religion stubs. There is considerable debate here, but I'm swayed by the argument that this is not a unifying concept with deep real-world scholarship (at least not yet). That "dharmic" is used to define religions in India doesn't mean it should be a separate category concept from Category:Indian religions. Other categories like Category:Abrahamic religions can be nominated separately if desired | March 10 |
| Category:Diplomats of China | merge to Category:Chinese diplomats. The diplomats of the current incarnation of China belong in Category:Chinese diplomats, because that's how diplomats are categorized (see the discussion of Germany, below). What may be needed is more subdivision of earlier diplomats, which is outside the scope of this nomination | March 6 |
| Category:Disney | rename | March 12 |
| Category:Districts in Miami, Florida | merge | March 3 |
| Category:Donghak Peasant Revolution | withdraw nomination. (NAC) | March 15 |
| Category:Early American naval commanders | split into Category:19th-century American naval officers, Category:20th-century American naval officers, etc | March 13 |
| Category:Egyptian Nazis | speedy delete as empty per WP:CSD#C1 | March 23 |
| Category:Egyptological journals | Speedy rename C2C | March 29 |
| Category:Empire of the Sun (band) | keep. | March 21 |
| Category:Empire of the Sun images | Rename | March 21 |
| Category:Events in the Thirteen Colonies | keep. There was a consensus here not to rename as needed, and the nomination was procedurally flawed becuase the sub-categories were neither listed in the nomination nor tagged | March 17 |
| Category:Executed Qing Dynasty people | no consensus. All of the contents are in both categories, so it would seem that there is redundancy here. I think both trees need to be looked at to see if there is close to complete overlap. If so, a global merge might be in order | March 2 |
| Fan films | rename both | March 13 |
| Category:Farts in literature | delete. I'mma go with "April Fool's Joke." | March 30 |
| Category:Fictional American people of Armenian descent | merge per nominator | March 18 |
| Category:Fictional American people of Danish descent | merge | March 13 |
| Category:Fictional American people of Portuguese descent | merge | March 13 |
| Category:Fictional American people of Salvadoran descent | merge to Category:Fictional Hispanic and Latino American people | March 18 |
| Category:Fictional American people of Scotch-Irish descent | merge | March 13 |
| Category:Fictional characters with red hair | Delete | March 26 |
| Category:Films based on works by Huh Young-man | withdrawn. The article has moved back to match the category name | March 28 |
| Category:Films directed by Lillian Gish | keep | March 7 |
| Category:Films featuring the Howrah Bridge | delete | March 20 |
| Category:Firefly (TV series) fan films | merge to all parents, without prejudice to re-creation if and when there are enough articles to make a viable category | March 13 |
| Category:Fish and chip restaurants | Keep | March 24 |
| Category:Force of the Filipino Masses politicians | Speedy rename C2D | March 24 |
| Category:Foreign Ministers of the Philippines | rename to Category:Secretaries of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines | March 7 |
| Category:Foreign relations of the Republic of China | rename | March 27 |
| Category:Former Yahoo! employees | merge to Category:Yahoo! employees | March 3 |
| Formula One race reports | Rename to XXX Formula One races | March 17 |
| Category:Free energy suppression proponents | rename to Category:Free energy conspiracy theorists – | March 25 |
| Category:Free online games | no consensus. This needs a cleanup, because no one outside the video game cognoscenti could know what to put where. But the discussion suggests this is not as simple as just merging | March 3 |
| Category:Free, open-source video games | relisted at May 13 adding like-named siblings within Category:Open-source video games. – | March 31 |
| Category:French rugby union championship | no consensus. | March 13 |
| Category:Full rigged ships | rename | March 3 |
| Category:Gabriella Cilmi | Delete | March 16 |
| Gaelic loanwords | delete. | March 11 |
| Game of Thrones (TV series) | keep. The indefinite article is not enough to guarantee disambiguation | March 29 |
| Category:Ghanaian expatriate footballers in Nigeria | merge to all parents, i.e. Category:Ghanaian expatriate footballers, Category:Expatriate footballers in Nigeria, and Category:Ghanaian expatriates in Nigeria | March 18 |
| Category:Ghulat | delete, but merge sects to Category:Shia Islamic sects. | March 6 |
| Category:Gil Scott-Heron | no consensus | March 16 |
| Grand viziers | rename. | March 28 |
| Category:Greek words for love | delete. | March 8 |
| Category:Healthcare policy in the United States | rename. There are times when "healthcare" might be a useful distinction from "health," but this one doesn't seem to get traction among the commenters. Category:Health policy uses "Health" instead of "Healthcare," and there are no other "healthcare by country" categories. There are several other categories (e.g., Category:Books about health/Category:Books about health care) where some combination/renaming might make sense. (Also, perhaps we should settle whether it's "healthcare" or "health care," since the categories are all over the map on that front | March 22 |
| Heretics in Christianity | delete. The subcats for people convicted/executed are already in the grandparent Category:Heresy, and should only be moved into Category:Heresy in Christianity if they were renamed to refer to Christianity. Recognising other good arguments below for "keep (but prune)", I suggest that Category:People declared heretics by the first seven Ecumenical Councils could be useful (see e.g. list in the anathema quoted here). – | March 10 |
| Category:Hiking trails in the United Kingdom | merge to parents | March 30 |
| Category:History of China in operas | delete Category:History of China in operas, and merge subcats to Category:Operas set in China | March 13 |
| Category:Holding companies of Korea | Rename | March 14 |
| Category:Hong Kong expatriates in the People's Republic of China | merge to Category:Hong Kong expatriates in China. | March 23 |
| Category:Illegitimate children of popes | keep. If there are any articles on legitimate children of Popes, they can be placed in a new Category:Children of popes, which should be a parent of this category | March 14 |
| Category:Illustrated manuscripts | merge to Category:Illuminated manuscripts. Only one of the articles isn't in Category:Combat treatises already, and that's because it's about elephant care | March 30 |
| Category:Images of Debby Ryan | Delete | March 23 |
| Category:Images of Sly and the Family Stone | no action. The heading says "propose deleting", but the rationale says merge without bothering to naming the target category. Feel free to make a nomination which explains what is proposed and doesn't contradict itself ... but please stop wasting other editors time with incoherent or ill-explained nominations | March 17 |
| Category:Images of The Verve | keep. | March 16 |
| Category:In Death (novel series) | keep | March 9 |
| Category:Indian actors by language | rename to |
March 13 |
| Category:Iron Maiden (heavy metal band) | rename to Category:Iron Maiden (band). We don't have consensus to completely remove the disambiguator, but with the deletion of the other Iron Maiden article, shortening is possible | March 15 |
| Category:Isms | delete as re-created material previously deleted as a result of a discussion, which was here. | March 20 |
| Category:Israeli popes | speedy delete per WP:CSD#C1. No, this has not been empty for 4 days, but there is nothing with which to populate it, so it will remain empty | March 14 |
| Category:Italian emigrants to England | rename Category:Italian emigrants to England to Category:Italian emigrants to the Kingdom of England; keep Category:Italian emigrants to Great Britain; and upmerge Category:Iranian emigrants to British India to Category:Iranian emigrants to India – | March 24 |
| Category:Italian Jews | keep | March 3 |
| Category:Jesuit popes | no consensus. IMHO Category:Jesuits and the other new parent "by religious order" satisfy the requirement in SMALLCAT for this to be kept. There were 3 more votes for deletion at Category talk:Jesuit popes but the writers probably did not see the discussion here. – | March 14 |
| Category:Jewish popes | delete. – | March 14 |
| Category:Judeo-Christian writers | delete | March 18 |
| Category:Jurassic Coast | keep. Most arguments for deletion have been successfully addressed. Sub-cats do not necessarily have the same characteristics as their parents, e.g. "people from Foo City" should be categorised under Foo City even though it contains people rather than cities. Nevertheless, Carlossuarez46's proposal for a centralised discussion on non-hierarchical geographical categories could prove useful. – | March 15 |
| Category:Justice (band) | delete | March 16 |
| Category:Kalahari Surfers albums | Keep | March 2 |
| Kew | rename Category:Kew to Category:Kew, London. | March 14 |
| Category:Lakas Kampi – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians | renameCategory:Lakas Kampi – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians to Category:Lakas–CMD politicians per nominator. The proposed additional renaming of Category:Lakas – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians to Category:Lakas–CMD (original) politicians also received consensus support here, but since it had bot been tagged for renaming we cannot assume that this consensus is properly formed. A further nomination woukd be required for that one to proceed |
March 17 |
| Category:Lakeside (band) | Delete | March 16 |
| LGBT African-American culture | merge. We have been particularly merciless on specificity by "letter" in LGBT subcategories, and this seems likely to continue. As for the accusation of bad faith, I don't see it here. Bearcat seems to have written a guideline representing at least a marginal consensus. It is up to the community whether that guideline holds, but I don't see how Bearcat is acting in bad faith when representing that this guideline is being violated, even if it is new. Bearcat probably should have pointed out the authorship, but that can be deemed an oversight rather than an act of malice. In my opinion, anyway | March 9 |
| Library buildings on the National Register of Historic Places | keep. I'm also restoring some recent "libraries">"library buildings" changes in this category tree. A general RFC would be welcome on this front | March 9 |
| Lisa Merkel | nothing here to discuss at CFD | March 12 |
| Category:Lists of bus routes in the United Kingdom | Keep | March 23 |
| Category:Lists of songs by reality television contestants | Keep | March 14 |
| Category:Lists of words with uncommon properties | Rename | March 4 |
| Category:Literature by genre | split | March 30 |
| Category:Little Pakistan | rename (C2A) | March 12 |
| Category:Luxembourgish resistance groups | Rename | March 23 |
| Category:MADtv | Delete | March 21 |
| Category:Magic: The Gathering duel decks | speedy delete per WP:CSD#C1 | March 20 |
| Category:Mahamaya Nagar district | merge to Category:Hathras district. | March 4 |
| Category:Malayali actors | rename to Category:Actors from Kerala. | March 1 |
| Category:Male film directors | Delete | March 22 |
| Category:Mars expedition | Delete | March 30 |
| Category:Mars Exploration Rover | rename to Category:Mars Exploration Rover mission | March 30 |
| Category:Mars spacecraft | merge | March 29 |
| Category:Mathematics source templates | reverse merge. | March 29 |
| Category:Mayors of Basilan | rename to Category:Mayors of places in Basilan | March 17 |
| Category:Mayors of San Bruno, California | upmerge to Category:Mayors of places in California (the other merge already manually performed) | March 3 |
| Category:Media in Ireland | merge to Category:Irish media. Removing the adjectival form of these categories would require a broader discussion | March 26 |
| Category:Media in Kosovo | delete. | March 11 |
| Category:Melena del Sur | delete | March 17 |
| Category:Members of the Cabinet of New Zealand | no consensus. | March 26 |
| Members of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico by session | merge. The McCain argument is the strongest here; if we can't imagine doing this style of categorization for one of the most notable legislatures in the world, I find it hard to imagine us doing it for a less notable one | March 9 |
| Metropolitan areas in the United States | generally, keep. There's no consensus to switch to SMSAs. This seems contrary to the structure of Category:Metropolitan areas, which doesn't get its definitions from governmental designations. It is not terribly clear where these definitions should come from, of course. So pending some agreement on that, most of these stay. I'm making the following changes based on the discussions: | March 4 |
| Category:Mice albums | Rename to Category:Mice (band) albums | March 2 |
| Category:Military equipment of the Chaco War | delete. The consensus is that only 2 articles really belong in this category (Humaitá-class gunboat and ARP Tacuary), so there is nothing to listify ... and that 2 articles is too small to justify a weapons-by-conflict category. However, Category:Ships by conflict seems to be a less contentious category tree, so feel free to create a new Category:Ships of the Chaco War for the 2 ship articles | March 13 |
| Category:Military operations of the post-1945 period | merge to Category:Military operations post-1945. | March 13 |
| Category:Military operations post-1945 | keep, at least temporarily. There are many subcategories of Category:Warfare post-1945 which use the "post-1945" format. That format should be nominated globally if a change is desired | March 13 |
| Category:Military patrol | rename all per nominator, for clarity | March 15 |
| Category:Minerals named after people | listify and delete | March 26 |
| Category:Mother-Daughter Exchange Club series | delete. | March 10 |
| Category:Museums of Ancient Rome | no consensus. There were objections to the name but I have not managed to extract an improved version from this discussion; Category:Egyptological collections works, but there's no corresponding name for these cases; and the existing names correspond to parent categories (e.g. Category:Ancient Greece). I will add category explanations requiring that the museums be centred on the era or possess significant collections from it. If anyone is then willing to check and prune the contents, that would be welcome. – | March 13 |
| Category:Music album templates | Rename | March 12 |
| Muslim saints by century | merge both to Category:Muslim saints. There is a clear consensus not to retain the two nominated categories. The two editors who commented on this nomination both argued for deletion rather than merger, and addressed their comments to the viability of the concept of a "Muslim saint". Whatever the merits of those arguments, making them in this discussion was a bit pointless. because Category:Muslim saints was not nominated for deletion, so those were arguments for an action which could not be the outcome this discussion. If editors want to open a CFD on Category:Muslim saints, they are free to do so; but in the meantime Category:Muslim saints still exists, so these categories are being merged there |
March 9 |
| Category:Muslim saints | merge some to Category:Sufi saints, then delete. | March 13 |
| Category:Mythological fairy royalty | Rename | March 26 |
| Category:Native American words and phrases | listify and delete. The subcategories are already in Category:Words and phrases by language. This close should not be considered a referendum on those subcategories | March 1 |
| Nazi collaborators | rename all. The only concern expressed relates to Austria, where the history raises some special issues. However, there is no Austrian category in this nomination, so that interesting point doesn't alter the outcome here | March 14 |
| Category:Net laying ships of the Royal Navy | rename all per nominator | March 12 |
| Category:New Society Movement politicians | Speedy rename C2D | March 24 |
| Category:Nikola Tesla | keep. Articles which are inappropriately categorised should be dealt with through the usual editorial processes | March 25 |
| Category:No Wave | rename to Category:No wave. I can't see any likelihood of confusion here | March 15 |
| Category:North Group (Trujillo) | no consensus. – | March 28 |
| Category:Officers of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem | merge. I'm going to assume folks are right about these being the same. If not, we might reverse | March 7 |
| Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductees | delete. Already listified at Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame | March 9 |
| Category:One-Test wonders | delete. The discussion demonstrates that a list will be a lot better than a category, and does not make a case to keep both. I will provide a link at Talk:One-Test wonder to the deletions in case it helps to populate the list. – | March 30 |
| Category:Organisations based in Turkey | merge. They can't both stay, and there's no consensus in the discussion. I picked the one that matched almost all of the subcategories, which use the Z. I'll Speedily nominate the two subcategories that don't match | March 19 |
| Category:Organizations in cryptography | rename. – | March 13 |
| Category:Painter of the Wind | delete | March 12 |
| Category:Pakistan-related images | speedy merge WP:C2C. – | March 2 |
| Category:Pakistani Arabs | deleted per WP:G3 as pure disruptiveness | March 22 |
| Category:Pan-Europeanism | no consensus. I have removed the "cat main" link, as the article Pan-Europeanism was merged into Pan-European identity in 2008, but that content was deleted later that year. I have pasted it into the category page, where it can be trimmed as appropriate. – | March 25 |
| Category:Partner of the Free Filipino politicians | Speedy rename C2D | March 24 |
| Category:People from Kensington and Chelsea (London borough) | no consensus. | March 13 |
| Category:People from the Inland Empire (California) | diffuse to appropriate county categories, then delete. | March 15 |
| Category:People from Wrocław | keep as is | March 23 |
| Category:People self-identifying as problem gamblers | delete | March 22 |
| Category:People with missing ears | Delete | March 13 |
| Category:People's Power (Philippines) politicians | Speedy rename C2D | March 24 |
| People's Republic of China Singers | merge. BHG brings up a good point, but since all these are singers from China, there's no reason not to merge. The greater point can be dealt with in another nomination | March 22 |
| Category:Persian-language film stubs | merge | March 2 |
| Category:Pharmacies of Vatican City | no consensus. – | March 22 |
| Category:Philippine Democratic Party – People's Power politicians | Speedy rename C2D | March 24 |
| Category:Poor Law | rename. | March 11 |
| Category:Pope Francis | keep | March 14 |
| Populated places in the United States with African American majority populations | Listify & delete | March 20 |
| Populated places in the United States with African-American plurality populations | rename using "lists of" if still required after contents have been listified, otherwise ensure that the new lists are in suitable categories and delete. – | March 24 |
| Category:Populated places in the United States with Hispanic majority population | delete. See | March 7 |
| Portland, Oregon sports players | merge all to listed targets and to Category:Sportspeople from Portland, Oregon | March 19 |
| Post-punk | keep all (i.e. do not rename) | March 13 |
| Category:Presidents of the Law Society | rename per nominator | March 18 |
| Category:Project Hula ships | rename | March 7 |
| Punch (magazine) | keep. | March 9 |
| Racing drivers by nationality | keep all. All sportspeople categories are "(demonym) (sport) (players)." Greater issues should be tackled globally | March 20 |
| Ralston College | delete. | March 8 |
| Category:Rape in novels | Delete | March 23 |
| Category:Rape victims | no consensus. This strikes me as a fairly risky category, but there's no consensus to delete here | March 31 |
| Category:Recipients of a New Zealand Knighthood | delete. | March 21 |
| Category:Reconstruction | Speedy(ish) rename C2D | March 23 |
| Category:Recorders | rename to Category:Recording devices | March 9 |
| Category:Republican holders of the role of pontifex maximus | rename to Category:Pontifices Maximi of the Roman Republic. This may not be the best phrasing, so it's open to renomination. But it's an improvement on the current phrasing | March 12 |
| Category:Rhyming slang | delete. I'll make sure the head article is properly categorized | March 5 |
| Category:Rifle ammunition | merge. | March 9 |
| Category:Rise Up Philippines politicians | Speedy renam C2D | March 24 |
| Category:Rising Tide Records singles | keep per WP:SMALLCAT | March 31 |
| Category:Road bicycle races | keep, but move all contents to the subcategory Category:Men's road bicycle races. | March 28 |
| Category:Roger McGough | Delete | March 3 |
