| Category:1020s BCE deaths |
rename all. Consistency across a category is a long-established convention, and any change to current convention of using "BC" should be applied consistently to all sub-categories of Category:Deaths by year. Those seeking such a change should make a group nomination for the whole of Category:1st millennium BC deaths, Category:2nd millennium BC deaths, and Category:3rd millennium BC deaths and their sub-categories. However, in view of the huge number of categories involved, I suggest a wider discussion before bringing the matter to CfD, to attempt to define the issues involved |

temporarily rename all. This whole area (not just the US) may need significant recategorization. When the recategorization happens, these categories may be split into Beer on one hand and Breweries on the other. But at the moment the US is an outlier, with breweries and beer collapsed under categories mostly named after breweries, and should be standardized. |

If upmerging made a supercat of 40 articles, I could see leaving all three. But upmerging these two gives you a grand total of 4 articles, not enough for subcats. If in the future, somebody writes or finds other articles that fit the bill, go ahead and recreate the subcats. |

The nomination notwithstanding, the crux of the matter comes from the statement "It may have made sense to perhaps create Category:Torah Kohanim, but to mix and match show-biz types with Bible figures is very unfunny. No latter-day Cohen can have a proven pedigree... so that brings us right into the heart of WP:NOR and WP:V problems." The category itself states that the members are descendants of Aaron. I didn't see anything in Rodney Dangerfield that even mentioned Aaron. The category also stated that the members have a certain surname, and last I checked, we don't categorize people by surname. Is this a distinct subset of people? Perhaps, but we don't categorize based upon every distinct attribute, especially when it violates WP:NOR and WP:V. And also, Johnbod pointed out that there is a much more inclusive list of Cohens at Cohen (surname) |

It's been pointed out that it could be renamed to "Spiders that are (insert your adjective, target, and circumstances here)", but Category:Spider species whose bites deliver sufficient quantities of venom of sufficient toxicity to humans that they may pose health risks to humans is pretty long, and it does open the door to other animals hazardous to humans categories, and my common sense gland won't let me type that again. We cannot assume what "Dangerous" means or implies, even as in Category:Spiders dangerous to humans, as it is clear from this very discussion that one person's definition of dangerous may not match anyone else's |

Personal opinion ahead, has nothing to do with the closing: This has to be the stupidest category I've seen in about a week (what can I say, they pop up often). A "Fictional fictional character" by definition is a "Fictional character". Itchy and scratchy are characters that exist in fiction. Period. And look, there is Category:Fictional characters! Why the ever-loving need to oh never mind, nobody is going to read this anyway. All this from an article that has no sources and should probably be deleted (shakes head) |

| Geobox categories |
delete all. Despite the majority of commentators wanting to keep these categories, insuffucient reasons were advanced as to why the geobox template should breach policies and guidelines against having internal wikipedia categories in mainspace. There has been a consensus to retain categories relating to problems of article quality such as for unreferenced or possibly non-notable articles, which I believe those are issues of quality and reliability which shoukd be rawn to the attention of the reader. However, no clear argument has been here made for why the {{geobox}} template should, apparently alone among infoboxes, be an exception to this convention; any benefit to editors from having these categories would apply equally to dozens of other widely-used infoboxes.
I am aware that this closure will appear controversial to some editors, and I would urge any concerned editors to discuss the matter with me before considering a deletion review (in any case WP:DRV requires such an attempt to seek resolution before using the DRV process) |

Well, somebody's got to close this, so I guess I'll do it as a rename to Category:Colossal statues of Jesus. This gives the category two logical parents (one of which was created in response to my argument here). Maybe DRV-able, but I think this is the only logical path given the existence of Category:Colossal statues. I'm not going to touch the Jesus/Jesus Christ discussion, as it is possible to believe that Jesus existed and still not believe he is the Anointed One. Nominate the whole scheme if you want to pursue that one |

| Category:Historical medical landmarks by country |
delete. Aside from the definition of "Historical medical landmark" below, "related to the history of medicine", which seems to duplicate Category:History of medicine, I see from the category itself that it pertains to "When they travel for personal or professional reasons, through this wiki-category, they can easily locate (potentially, at least!) important places to pay a visit to in every Country or Town: buildings, monuments, museums, libraries, birthplaces, works of art, etc.". Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Harvey Cushing made some pretty good advances in medicine, but he is not in any of these categories, Harvey Cushing's tomb (which is a redirect to Harvey Cushing(which makes no reference to his tomb)) is. Agostino Bassi's tomb in Lodi is also in one of these categories. Also a redirect, to Agostino Bassi, which does mention his tomb, which is in a church. Not exactly a "medical landmark" (he or his tomb). So it would appear that the category intro is correct, while "related to the history of medicine" is a bit misleading. And the nomination itself calls into question the terms "historical" and "landmark", neither of which are defined, and appear in fact to be subjective or ambiguous |

| Category:Songs from Rocky Horror |
rename to Category:Rocky Horror songs. While there is a relatively substantial degree of disagreement about what the title should be, there is agreement to move away from the current title. In that respect, two factors influenced the choice of Category:Rocky Horror songs. First, Category:X songs is the clear convention of Category:Songs from films (only 2 of 18 subcats deviate), whereas Category:Songs from musicals has no clear convention (there is a 20-17 split). Second, as far as I could discern from the articles, all 7 songs currently in the category were in both the play and the film. Thus, the need create separate categories of songs for The Rocky Horror Show and The Rocky Horror Picture Show seems less immediate. The title proposed by the nom has the added advantage of conforming to the main category for the Rocky Horror series: Category:Rocky Horror |
