| Category:African-American football quarterbacks |
merge to both parents, i.e. to Category:African-American players of American football and Category:American football quarterbacks .
Those favouring keep were slightly outnumbered by the delete supporters, but WP:NOTVOTE. Both sides presented arguments well-founded in policy. The keep side was boosted by impressive evidence that "African-American football quarterbacks" is recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right on which an encyclopedic head article could be written. That satisfies WP:EGRS#General.
However, those favouring removing the category pointed to WP:FINAL RUNG, which says "an ethnicity/gender/religion/sexuality/disability subcategory should never be implemented as the final rung in a category tree, unless the parent is (or will become) purely a container category". That does apply here, and my reading of WP:EGRS is that the "never" in that text applies even if the distinct-and-unique-cultural-topic test is met.
So on the balance of both numbers and of policy-based arguments, I weigh this as a weak consensus to merge.
To facilitate anyone who wants to make a list, I will list the category's contents on this day's talk page |

| Category:African-American supercentenarians |

| Category:People from the Province of Rome |
rename. Despite the unwieldiness of the proposed new new title, there is consensus here to rename as proposed, based on the current title of the head article: Metropolitan City of Rome Capital.
That article has been moved 5 time since its creation in January 2015, each time without any sign of discussion, so it is unclear whether the current title accurately reflects WP:AT and relevant guidelines. Other subcats of Category:Metropolitan City of Rome Capital have been moved without discussion, some via CFDS (which shouldn't have happened, in view of the inconsistency) and at least one by an un-notified move of the category page, while Category:Rivers of the Province of Rome still uses the old title.
This is all a bit of a mess; the best procedural path would have been a WP:RM discussion on the head article, followed by a group CFD nom of all the subcats. If editors have concerns about the title chosen here, please start with an RM discussion on the head article |
