The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The scheme for television series set in the more distant future appears to go by decades not individual years. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion, but since there are a few other "video games set in XXXX" categories, it might be best to bundle those together in a separate nomination. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 05:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:33, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge When it comes to works set in the future, almost any year is interchangeable with any other made-up number. Nonetheless, sorting by decade is still useful up to the end of the 21st century, since this includes different kinds of works set in the near future. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 01:01, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As per MOS:TIES. The Marshallese football federation is called the Marshall Islands Soccer Federation, and they use "soccer" to refer to association football on their Facebook page. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 17:13, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category only has one page. Luis9595 (talk) 14:02, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/neutral Only having one page in the category isn't a suitable reason for merging. Looks like the category was created on the birthplace of the person in that category. Not against merging here, but don't really see an issue with this category. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:35, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge until such time that we have a handful of articles (unless a search turns up more... I'll have a look). Grutness...wha? 01:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've doubled it to two articles. Still not enough. Grutness...wha? 01:10, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Baronies of Fingal[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Baronies in Fingal. No strong opposition to the move itself, and discussion about the merits of keeping the cat should probably be the subject of another discussion. bibliomaniac15 05:12, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: They are not really "of" Fingal since the baronies were created prior to the creation of Fingal as as county. Rather they are baronies that are located within the bounds of the county (either wholly or partially). For almost every other county of Ireland, a county was sub-divided into a specific number of baronies that were formerly used for local administration. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need for the category at all. Baronies were subdivisions of the traditional counties like County Dublin. The administrative county of Fingal was created in 1994 without regard for the earlier baronies, as many of them straddle Fingal's boundary. ~Asarlaí 15:11, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply As a county of Ireland, Fingal has as much validity for a first-level country sub-division as does County Dublin or County Cork. As the nomination states, the scope is appropriate to things in the county rather than things that are or were intrinsic (of) to the county. But Asarlai & I have rehearsed these arguments many times.

  • Comment -- as I am not Irish, I am reluctant to vote, but the whole category seems anachronistic. However, I wonder whether we should not merge back to Category:Baronies in County Dublin on the basis that baronies became defunct administrative entities long before the present County Fingal was created in 1994. I note that there is a sibling category for those in Dublin (city). Peterkingiron (talk) 20:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
