:The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

{{block indent|1=

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub categories with no indication that they were ever approved by the stub sorting project. As usual, stub categories are neither useful nor wanted until the category can be populated with somewhere around 60 entries, but the sizes here are only 3, 7 and 10, and none have any obvious prospects of immediately finding 50 more entries to salvage them with (even just upmerging :Category:Nigerian television show stubs to :Category:Nigerian television stubs still wouldn't hit 60) — and precisely because there's that minimum size rule on stub categories, the rule is that they have to be proposed and approved by the stub sorting project and cannot just be created willy-nilly by just any editor the moment there are one or two potential entries, but i can't find any evidence that these were ever discussed or authorized.
The stub templates are fine, but should simply sort into a more general category, such as the proposed targets, until such time as 60 potential entries can be identified to justify the creation of a dedicated new category. Bearcat (talk) 15:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)}}

{{block indent|1=

Nominator's rationale: Only 2 articles - brothers. No suggestion that there was any sort of movement based in Savoy. Rathfelder (talk) 15:02, 16 January 2022 (UTC)}}

:* Both articles are about politicians in the kingdom of Sardinia, so I do not think that it harms to count them as Italian. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

  • Oppose Italy was a loose concept prior to 1861. Also since Savoy was an integral part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, ignoring its later annexation by France is not solved by that move. This is essentially trying to make the term less hisotircally accurate. Yes, there was an idea of Italianess in the 18th century, but it lacked clear and defined limits. It is not good to try to use one category to merge together unlike things that happen over time to have had the same name. We have a huge problem of ignoring the national designations that best describe people based on when they lived and were publicly known.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

{{block indent|1=

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)}}

  • Keep It's not at all SMALLCAT. Nobody should bring well populated subcategories in a line with single entries! --Just N. (talk) 21:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

:* Neither of the two well-populated subcategories has been nominated because of WP:SMALLCAT. This is a nomination to facilitate easier navigation through the category tree, no more and no less. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:05, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment -- I would have expected the parent also to have "Novels about psychology"; and it does though not by that name. We have two subcats in the subject. I am not sure that we need to a separate "academic" category level. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:22, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep (although there is an alternative solution that I'll explain). Even though it's currently inarguably not well-utilised, there's value to separating out the academic and non-academic works in the case of psychology. Lay people love to write "psychology" self-help books or memoirs/autobiographies about mental health, or just their general opinions about psychology. For a bunch of examples, see :Category:Books about mental health. The current categories are - again - a disaster, but there's value to having some categorisation about what is and is not academic. The alternative here to keeping and populating :Category:Academic works about psychology, would be to delete the current category and instead create and populate :Category:Non-academic works about psychology, but that would be out of step with the parent categories. --Xurizuri (talk) 06:01, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Propose deleting {{lc|Scientific laws}}

Nominator's rationale: See the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Philosophy#Science_theory_expert_needed:_Category:Scientific_laws_vs_Category:Empirical_laws Jochen Burghardt (talk) 12:49, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

:* {{ping|Jochen Burghardt}} these are two different discussions, one about the correct name of the article, which should be discussed by means of a move request on the article talk page, and the other about the merge direction of categories at this platform (which will normally follow the name of the article). Straight deletion of this category is out of order anyway, it should be a merge, in either direction. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

::*{{ping|Marcocapelle}} From the lead of scientific law it seems that "Scientific law" is used synonymously to "Empirical law" in English. This is different in German (the name of the translated article, ":de:Naturgesetz", literally means "law of nature" resp. "law of natural science"), and it seems that I have been mislead by the latter. Provided the lead appropriately reflects the state of the art, merging in any direction would be ok for me. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 10:17, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

  • Keep --Just N. (talk) 21:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep (at worst merge). The distinction between a scientific law and an empirical one is a narrow one, but i think there is a difference, though some of the content of empirical laws would be better in scientific laws. I would suggest that the observation that there is a correlation between one factor and another is empirical, but where there is an exact arithmetic relationship, as with Ohm's law V = IR or Einstein's E=mc2, it is a scientific law. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:35, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

:* If we keep the categories separate based on this distinction, then quite a few articles should be moved from :Category:Empirical laws to :Category:Scientific laws. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:58, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

:*{{ping|Peterkingiron}} I don't see your distinction, since Ohm's and Einstein's laws describe correlations, too. The exact arithmetic relations are idealized from empirical observations by attributing any deviations to measurement errors; moreover, even the exact relations are (special cases of) correlations. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 21:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
