:* Propose renaming :Category:People claiming to have psychokinetic abilities to :Category:Psychokineticists

:Nominator's rationale: None of the other paranormal cats have this modifier - the proposed name isn't common but does show up in scifi lit as well as one honest to goodness book I could find (do google book search to find sorry on mobile). Rename in line with other cats like {{cl|Psychics}} and {{cl|Telepaths}} Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:Support per nominator. This category was merely created per a previous Categories for Renaming vote while I was one of the Category Admin's. Have no preference or quarrel with it's removal or renaming, therefore I defer to the consensus or the nominator's suggestion. «»Who?¿? 22:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)----

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Former officers of the University Philosophical Society}}

:Nominator's rationale: Delete as non-defining, and (in some cases at least) uncited anyway. Where cited and noteworthy, listify in the main article University Philosophical Society. If it was confined to Presidents, that might be worth keeping alongside some other sub-cats in :Category:Presidents of organizations, but this is too vague. If not deleted, should be renamed as :Category:Officers of the University Philosophical Society, as :Category:Office-holders generally does not distinguish current and former office-holders. – Fayenatic London 14:08, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Delete – In almost every case, this characteristic will not be defining for someone who passes the notability threshold. In other words, people do not become notable by virtue of being officers of the Phil; instead, people who were officers of the Phil sometimes went on to do other things that made them notable. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 01:00, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
• Delete Not defining to enough of these people to be worth categorizing by.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:52, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
• Delete -- Being an office holder in a student society will rarely be defining. If kept, rename to include "Trinity College Dublin". Peterkingiron (talk) 16:32, 6 April 2014 (UTC)----

:* Propose merging :Category:Ex-Presidents of India to :Category:Presidents of India

:Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. This was newly split by an inexperienced editor. We do not split current and former office-holders within the many sub-cats of :Category:Office-holders. – Fayenatic London 13:25, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Upmerge per nom. Oculi (talk) 15:44, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|George Temple Poole buildings}}

:Nominator's rationale: Delete. Replaced by the hyphenated :Category:George Temple-Poole buildings, which matches the article George Temple-Poole Mitch Ames (talk) 10:59, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Support For future reference, this could have been handled more simply at WP:SPEEDY, because of the typo, its difference from the main article (if any) and because it's now empty. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Cultural heritage of Indonesia to :Category:both parents

:Nominator's rationale: Merge. Unnecessary layer between :Category:Cultural Properties of Indonesia and its parents :Category:Indonesian culture and :Category:Cultural heritage by country. – Fayenatic London 08:24, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Is there a possibility for expansion? In other words, does Indonesia have cultural heritage not formally recognized as "cultural properties and, just as importantly, can we categorize them objectively? -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 21:29, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
• You mean like :Category:Heritage registers in the Philippines, which has National Cultural Treasures as well as Cultural Properties? I don't think so. Cultural properties of Indonesia states that this title is used in Indonesia for both moveable & immovable, both natural and man-made. – Fayenatic London 21:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
• My thoughts were more along the lines of :Category:Cultural heritage of India, which contains subcategories for archaeological sites, World Heritage Sites, dance and music genres, and art styles, or :Category:Cultural heritage of Norway, which contains :Category:Churches in Norway. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 01:11, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
• You are right, there is a category for World Heritage Sites in Indonesia. I have now put it into this one, and withdraw the nomination. – Fayenatic London 19:37, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename for now; if a user wants to propose splitting the new category, feel free to do so in a new nomination. Given that the article is at Cronus, there's not really a good reason to have the category use the "Kronos" spelling. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:31, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Kronos-Saturn to :Category:Cronus-Saturn

:Nominator's rationale: The article is at Cronus; not keen on the format but can't think of anything better. Tim! (talk) 07:37, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Rename, or split, to :Category:Cronus or :Category:Saturn (mythology). This category contains a mix of articles related to the Greek god Cronus, the Roman god Saturn, and the planet Saturn in mythology. The combined name makes me think of some type of mythological or comic-book amalgamation. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 23:15, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
• Keep -- If anything it is the article that should be renamed. The lead says "Cronus or Kronos". This is about a Greek God, whose name begins with a K - kappa. It is a question of whether that letter is transliterated as C or K. Cronus is a latinisation of the name, with the Latin male ending -us rather than the Greek one of -os (both second declension singular). Greek and Roman gods with similar attributes were frequently identified with each other, including the Greek Zeus with the Roman Jupiter, so that I see no objection to a joint category. Cronos is currently a dabpage. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:41, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Goldman Environmental Prize winners}}

:Nominator's rationale: Having received this award is not generally a WP:DEFINING characteristic of the recipients (e.g. here it's just one of a list of awards received). The main categorization for environmentalists is categories like :Category:Kenyan environmentalists. For info: There is a list at Goldman_Environmental_Prize#Prize_winners. See WP:OC#AWARD. DexDor (talk) 06:45, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• This award goes to "grassroots environmental activists" from Africa, Asia, Europe, Islands and Island Nations, North America, and South and Central America. Each receives a whopping US$150,000 per recipient. That's pretty life-changing money for a grassroots activist in, say, the developing world. It's awarded by an international journey. Are we sure this isn't a defining characteristic for honourees, in line with WP:OC/AWARD? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

::That amount of money may be life-changing for some people, but in other cases (example) having received the award isn't even (currently) mentioned in the article. DexDor (talk) 19:33, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

:::I'm not confident enough on this one to record a !vote either way. What's more, I'm sure in my early days here I'd created an awards cat or two that might not pass muster. But not recently, I assure you. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:48, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

• Delete This award is not defining in general to the recipients. There is a very high threshold for award categories, and this does not pass it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
• Delete -- another unnecessary award winners category. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:42, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Indianapolis Prize winners}}

:Nominator's rationale: Having received this award is not generally a WP:DEFINING characteristic of the recipients (e.g. here it's just one of a list of awards received). The main categorization for zoologists is categories like :Category:American zoologists. For info: There is a list at Indianapolis_Prize#Recipients. See WP:OC#AWARD. DexDor (talk) 06:40, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• The first-place unrestricted cash prize of US$250,000, possibly [http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/01/30/indianapolis-prize-conservation-finalists/5057011/ the highest of any conservation award], makes the Indianapolis Prize a prestigious and desirable award. However, even after working on the article ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indianapolis_Prize&diff=602165808&oldid=601695251 diff]), I can't say for sure that receiving the prize is defining; typically, prize winners are already well-known for their other work. I think that this might just pass the threshold for being a defining characteristic, but it is difficult to evaluate due to the fact that the award is only a few years old. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 21:24, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
• Delete This award is not defining enough of its recipients to be worth categorizing by.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: Reverse merge per C2C, convention of :Category:Nationalism by country or region. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

:*Proposed merger: :Category:Albanian nationalism and :Category:Nationalism in Albania

:Nominator's rational: These two categories are about the exact same thing! Charles Essie (talk) 01:55, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:21, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
• Reverse merge to :Category:Albanian nationalism, per the Fooian nationalism convention of :Category:Nationalism by country or region. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 15:50, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
• reverse merge per facts stated by Black Falcon. Hmains (talk) 03:06, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
