Propose merging Category:Lighthouses in Kollam to Category:Lighthouses in Kerala

Nominator's rationale: A small category with no possibility of growth. Shyamsunder (talk) 22:49, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Double merge, also to Category:Buildings and structures in Kollam. Also, add Tangasseri Lighthouse into the third parent Category:Visitor attractions in Kollam; it is not stated whether the other lighthouse draws visitors. – Fayenatic London 09:48, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support double merge -- The usual outcome for such small categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Hindu movements and organisations to Category:Hinduism

Nominator's rationale: upmerge, as far as I can see we do not have any other combined "movements and organisations" categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:44, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support this. The whole notion of "movements" is problematic when it comes to categorisation.Rathfelder (talk) 09:23, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - completely redundant intermediate category with no top-level articles and just 3 subcats. Oculi (talk) 12:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- The three subcats will fit nicely in the target (a container cat). Peterkingiron (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Oppose These are two distinctly different topics, and should not be merged, as it would harm the ability of users of Wikipedia to access this specific topic. SuperChris (talk) 18:12, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have misunderstood this. There is no merging of topics. Oculi (talk) 21:59, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Two different things. Needs a separate category to categorise for topics falling withing the nominated category. Shyamsunder (talk) 22:42, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why? What would fall in the nominated category that wouldn't fall in either Category:Hindu movements or Category:Hindu organizations? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. It appears that the editors opposing the merge may not have looked at the contents of this category. Category:Hindu movements and organisations is currently a container category, holding only Category:Hindu denominations, Category:Hindu movements and Category:Hindu organizations. Although some other Wikipedias have copied the name "movements and organizations",[1] no others have both that level and "Hindu organizations". – Fayenatic London 11:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SuperChris and Shyamsunder: please reconsider, or explain further why you oppose this.

Fine, I withdraw my oppose vote.Shyamsunder (talk) 09:32, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on spelling, for the record: at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 November 18, the "s" spelling was chosen for the word "organisations" in this category, which dates from 2005. The "orgs" sub-cat was created in 2013 as Category:Hindu-affiliated organizations, and recently speedily renamed to Category:Hindu organizations. – Fayenatic London 13:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
