Nominator's rationale: Category for a small town, containing only the one page about the town. DGG ( talk ) 18:28, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- no need to merge as article is already in the parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:12, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Split -- I removed an article about a historical person Ralph de Sudeley who happened appear in a novel. The rest are a mixture of mixture of Freemasony, a few novels about KT, and one or two articles for other Category:Self-styled orders, which need to be down-moved to that.

Full Upmerge for German items. Not enough content. I suspect that if we looked we might find a few more schools of Church music worldwide. PopulateCategory:Church music schools: Royal School of Church Music ought to appear and I suspect there will be a few more worldwide. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:09, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Royal School of Church Music does not appear to be a school, but rather an organisation promoting church music through publications, training courses and an award scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:32, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:rename to clarify the scope of the categories. While the music in these categories comes from a certain country, it may well be performed in other countries, so it doesn't need to stay in the original country. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose currently matches the lead topic Church music in Germany and is a natural naming convention for a topic category. Tim! (talk) 09:08, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The present names are a better reflection of content than what is proposed. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:23, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Tim!. The current name (and lead subject title) is more reflecting of the topic and has many precedents; in fact, so many I can't even count them. ToThAc (talk) 17:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(as nom) Support this alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:39, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is a category I created over 10 years ago. However, noticing it again recently, I think I was wrong to do so. These organists are not notable for being organ scholars, they are notable for what they did after being organ scholars (in most cases, professional organists / composers etc, although ex-British Prime Minister Edward Heath gets in there, as does the actor/comedian Dudley Moore). We don't have categories for "apprentices" more generally, after all. BencherliteTalk 15:10, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the speedy tag, because I think someone needs to officially close this, and then Cydebot can go thru and depopulate the category prior to deletion. Right? If I'm confused, someone ping me, but somebody has to remove that category from 74 articles, and that sounds like work for a bot. What you really need, I think, is someone who is familiar with CFD to speedy close this discussion. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:27, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So if deleted via speedy, no bot would remove the category from the pages that have it? Zeke, the Mad Horrorist(Speak quickly)(Follow my trail) 23:06, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That is my understanding, yes. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Floquenbeam and Zeke, the Mad Horrorist: It's both being done by a bot, but the convention is that once a category has been nominated here, it is no longer eligible for speedy deletion via a different route. On the other hand the discussion here can be speedily closed by an admin if there is a speedy criterion involved. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
