The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:41, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT with just one entry. List of cheeses#Japan only lists the same, and it doesn't appear there are any missing. Upmerge Sakura cheese to Category:Japanese cuisine and Category:Cheeses. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:42, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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:Jewish ghettos established by Nazi Germany per Talk:Jewish_ghettos_established_by_Nazi_Germany#Requested_move_14_May_2023. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:47, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per my comments at Talk:Nazi_ghettos#Requested_move_14_May_2023, at minimum, we should be consistent add the word 'Jewish' here (parent cat: Category:Jewish ghettos in Europe, chid cats: :Category:Jewish ghettos in Fooland...). On a separate note, two naming issues worth considering is whether we should change the phrase "Jewish ghetto" to "ghetto for Jews" and whether we should use adjective Nazi, German-occupied, or Nazi German in the name (the categories use Nazi, the articles use German-occupied). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • That might imply that the ghettos were not abolished before or with the fall of Nazi Germany. The proposed name by nom is clearer in this respect. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:28, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A name used by Cork F.C. for several years. Fordsons F.C. has no independent notability under that name, the link redirects to Cork F.C.. Geregen2 (talk) 15:57, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge same team with different names at different times. We always have just one category for a team in this scenario. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 20:38, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - we have one parent article, and therefore should have one player category, regardless of any name change/merge. GiantSnowman 20:43, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Indian Arrows templates. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pailan Arrows is an old name of the team currently known as Indian Arrows. Pailan Arrows is a redirect to Indian Arrows, no independent notability under the old name. Geregen2 (talk) 15:54, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:BÍ/Bolungarvík players[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: merge to Category:Vestri (football club) players for consistency with the above outcomes. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:49, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: BÍ/Bolungarvík was merged into Vestri (football club) in 2016. BÍ/Bolungarvík is a redirect to the new name - no independent notability under the old name. Geregen2 (talk) 15:50, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose All of the players in the category where in BÍ/Bolungarvík prior to 2015 (most of them prior to 2014). BÍ/Bolungarvík merged into Vestri just prior to the 2016 season, so none of the players where Vestri players.--Snævar (talk) 11:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support when sports clubs merged together, the standard is to have one category for all players. The fact that they played for the team under the former/unmerged name doesn't mean we should have separate categories for each club name iteration. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:02, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tsunamis (2)[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:49, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge as there is not enough content per decade in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and not enough content per year in the 20th century. It is not necessary to merge to natural disasters since all are either earthquakes or not caused by natural events (i.e. dam failures). –Aidan721 (talk) 14:49, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Two person offshore sailing event[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:Double-handed crew sailing competitions. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 11:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: common sailing term to refer to offshore races with two people onboard. See also Category:Single-handed sailing competitions‎ and mention in Single-handed sailing Kaffet i halsen (talk) 15:17, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator the category it was deliberately done to be technically correct and political correct. While single and double handed is a commonly used term it will not be going forwards. It comes across as discrimitive and technically incorrect as the boat actually has two and fours hand if the person has no physical disabilities. I accept the term hands has a nautical meaning but this is lost in the general sporting context it not single handed tennis etc. World Sailing have started to used the politically correct term with the term "mixed doubles" for example. Yachty4000 (User talk:Yachty4000) 23:24, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Single/double-handed terms are still in use, World Sailing used the term in December 2022 here. The category would need to be moved to plural and would follow category tree better if switched to competitions. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 11:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They should do but its common terminology. Can't see tennis, badminton, canoeing or any other sport using it. The term double is ok but handed isn't. Yachty4000 Yachty4000 (talk) 17:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Consensus to rename, but undecided between Category:Double-handed sailing competitions or Category:Double-handed crew sailing competitions.

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: merge to Category:Language policy. The Sweden category and those that were withdrawn will still be kept. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 (d) 00:51, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
...to Category:Language policy
Nominator's rationale (updated): "by country" categories should be containercats. All subcats which are WP:SMALLCATs should be upmerged into grandparent Category:Language policy. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 18:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Category:Language policy in Finland‎ because it's not a SMALLCAT anymore. --JAAqqO (talk) 20:45, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — especially the 1 subcategory wonders, and the barely there Finland. Pushing vaguely related articles into a category is not the same as a substantial and encyclopedic head article. Really need to make WP:SMALLCAT formally 10, instead of informally 5.
