|
| Category:1936 establishments in Namibia |
Merge per nom. Nothing in this close should be taken to prohibit dual categorization if that is appropriate. If that is done, consider if we need a fully populated tree of if we can provide what is needed by a dual parent at or near the top of the tree. I should also add that the proposed name is used for several years. So this unifies the naming |

Rename per nom. There is support for a rename to East Pakistan/Bengal instead. However there are questions about the ability to populate those subcategories. Feel free to create and populate those subcategories if and when there is sufficient content to do so |

| Category:American journalists of Chinese descent |
no consensus. Those opposed seem most troubled by the merge target rather than the threat of the categories being deleted. In a new discussion, perhaps if the proposal were to simply merge them all to Category:American journalists and the appropriate Category:American people of FOOian descent, there might be more support for deletion. |

Delete. Since the single article that populated these categories was already in two subcategories of Category:Amphibious vehicles there was really nothing to merge. Since the merge results in deletion, consensus was to delete |
May 13
|
| Category:Anti-fascist Roman Catholics |
upmerge to Category:Anti-fascists. Note that Category:German Catholics opposed to the Third Reich was tagged for discussion and apparently intended to be bundled with this, but wasn't clearly listed.

rename. Any problematic articles can be dealt with individually |
May 12
|
| Category:Bilingual journals |
merge to Category:Multilingual journals. The consensus here is not terribly strong, but I have considered this close in conjunction with the previous discussion. I think we need a somewhat stronger consensus if we are going to say that creating subcategories of Category:Multilingual journals is the way to go. For now, they can all be housed in the one category, which is not excessively large at present. |

| Category:Black feminists |
rename, but this close is without prejudice to the re-creation of Category:Black feminists if it is defined and populated to mean people within the field of "Black feminism" as opposed to a skin colour category |

no consensus. There is a consensus that if the category exists, it needs a better name, but there is no consensus here as to what that name should be. A follow-up nomination to propose a new name could be appropriate. |

No consensus there was too much arguing and not enough evidence here. I then looked at a sample of the articles most of them are about groupings (bands, Nations etc) and not specially governments, i.e. ruling bodies. Our article nation fits the content better than government. It may be better to start the discussion afresh with more evidence on common naming and less attack s on other editors |

no consensus. After nearly three months(!) open with two "reboots" of the discussion with revised proposals, this discussion has petered out with, probably, a lot of people not even realising the revised proposals were made. It's best, I think, at this point to put this out of its misery, and allow for these categories to be immediately renominated, perhaps with the most-recent proposal as the basis, to start a fresh discussion In Search Of: consensus |

restructure, creating Category:Boundary commissions in the United Kingdom and removing Electoral Commission (United Kingdom) which should have "see also" links instead. There is a consensus to make a change but no agreement on that change, so the closing admin has to be inventive; and given the point that "Boundary Commissions have nothing to do with any actual elections", I do not anticipate challenge to this outcome. – |

| Category:Plant common names in New Zealand |
Delete. I looked at a few and this facet of the article title is not defining for the plant. It is better to delete and try again, maybe. I have a suspicion that the best solution here would be to listify the entire tree where you can show the common name, the Latin names, the source of the common name and whatever else is deemed to be important. I will note that Category:Plant common names already has several list articles so this solution is already in place, albeit in small pieces. Also this discussion can not be closed without considering the similar discussion mentioned. I see nothing here that says the close of the other discussion was wrong |

keep, with leave to renominate the tree if desired, perhaps under the proposal by JPL, which failed to attract much discussion, quite possibly as this nom had gone stale |

merge. There are over 5,000 categories in the "(artist) songs" format, and we're not going to change that by nominating two categories. This needs a much higher-level discussion if change is desired |

no action. Given the nature of the articles in question, those in favour of deletion don't seem to have a strong argument, in my opinion, but if they want to they can nominate the two categories for deletion. |

| Category:U.S. Presidents surviving assassination attempts |
delete. It sounds like there is some support for creating a category to house the articles about assassination attempts on U.S. presidents. Note that this could have been merged to Category:Attempted assassination survivors, but I have not done that because there was no support for doing so in the discussion, and I presume that the same arguments would apply in removing the articles on US presidents from that category (or for deleting the category). |

do not rename (but without prejudice to a future nomination that includes a broader number of similar categories). (I think "sneaky in effect (but not in intent)" is a bit of an oxymoron. It would perhaps be better to avoid the word "sneaky" if one is suggesting the user is innocent.) |
