Propose merging Category:Free online encyclopedias to Category:Online encyclopedias

Nominator's rationale: Not defining. The vast majority of online encyclopedias appear to be free, or at least the articles say nothing about payment. If we need a subcategory it should be those which are not free, but I think it would be too small to be useful. Rathfelder (talk) 22:41, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, it is a valid subcategory of Category:Free encyclopedias. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:18, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is the only content of Category:Free encyclopedias.Rathfelder (talk) 08:13, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had checked the content of Category:Free encyclopedias this morning, but apparently not. In that case I support the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:59, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've put all the contents into relevant subcategories of Category:Online encyclopedias, so it doesnt need merging. Just deleting.Rathfelder (talk) 12:13, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see, so I was not entirely mistaken. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:23, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Bro'Town (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary per WP:SMALLCAT for only a list of episodes. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:25, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, TWO articles on the same topic and someone goes and creates a category? C'mon now. And since the show ended in 2009, I doubt coverage will be growing. (I was worried there would also be a navbox to go with all this excess, but thankfully that was either never attempted or already deleted.) -- FeRDNYC (talk) 01:56, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support - yeah, that's overkill. A "See also" section in the key article would handle it. Grutness...wha? 02:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:1999 by month (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I don't see a need for "year by month" categories like this one. While one could easily add the rest of the Portal:Current events subpages for the other 11 months in 1999 to this category and create similar categories for other years, I see the category as being redundant to Category:Months in the 1990s. The parent category Category:Years by month should then also be deleted as an empty category. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, if populated it would become a duplicate of Category:1999 events by month. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as speedy merge C2C to Category:Months in the 1990s. – Fayenatic London 11:29, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
