| Category:Academic journals by commercial publishers |
merge both.
There was some disagreement about whether the category of non-profit publishers was clearcut enough to make a viable category, and some good arguments were made against retaining it, but Category:non-profit publishers was not up for grabs here. However, regardless of any decision which might be made about that category, there is clearly a consensus not to categorise academic journals in this way. There are mnay other attributes by which en.wp categorises publishers, such as by country and by year of establishment which are not carried through into categorisation of any journals they publish ... so there seems to be no grounds to contest the validity of a local consensus that journals should not be categorised by his particular attribute |

no consensus; however, there seems to be general agreement that some clean up could be warranted, including some transferring of content to Category:Marine occupations. After some sort of clean up occurs, a re-nomination could be appropriate |

| Category:Plant deaths by year |
rename to Category:Individual tree deaths by decade and Category:2010s individual tree deaths. There is enough demand here to keep something. So far all the members are trees, and there is a parent for Category:Individual trees but not for Category:Individual plants. The grandparent Category:Individual organisms has categories for animals and trees, and individual creosote bush & fungus which show no hurry to die and justify a plant category; hence the rename to "trees". The word "individual" is desirable to match the (new) parent and to distinguish from species extinctions. – |

keep (i.e. do not rename or delete anything).
Somewhere within all this there may be a brilliantly sound, policy-based rationale for the proposed actions; or maybe not. It's impossible to know, because the walls of text posted by the nominator mean that it will be read in full by nobody except the most extraordinarily dedicated editor, with several days to digest it all. I have followed XFD discussions for nearly 8 years, and in all that time I have never seen such extraordinary verbosity. One editor noted that the nom had posted 133,572 characters in this discussion, and more followed after the count was made. That's about the same length as a Masters Degree thesis ... for a discussion about the name of one category.
This tsunami of words was so blatantly disruptive and bludgeoning that I count it as evidence of a consensus against the proposal |

| Category:Tony Award winning musicals |
delete. This is a bit of a mess of a discussion. Clearly, there is consensus for the point that we should not have a category that contains the article for every musical that has ever won any type of Tony Award. Mid-discussion, the scope of the category was changed to include articles about only those musicals which won the Tony Award for "best musical". While the case was argued that this would be an appropriate category, I can't see that a consensus developed that we should rename the category to reflect that. Therefore, the category will be deleted according to consensus. However, nothing prevents a user from creating a category intended to house the articles about musicals which won the Tony Award for best musical. It would then be open to those who oppose such a category to nominate it for deletion, and we could have a more focused discussion on that issue |

| WikiProject Beyoncé Knowles |
rename. These can always be changed back if the names of the article and/or Wikiproject changes, but as of now, everything Beyoncé Knowles-related uses the name "Beyoncé", and there doesn't appear to be any movement on the Wikiproject page to challenge that, so for the time being the categories can follow. While it's true that the renaming of the Wikiproject was not pursuant to a discussion (and it would have been ideal if it had been), there was an extensive discussion on the article talk page and a consensus was identified and implemented; therefore these category renames could be viewed as part of a unified C2D category tree renaming "immediately following a page move discussion which had explicit consensus to rename." |
