:Nominator's rationale: Merge per :WP:SMALLCAT, usually only one article in each category. This proposal is to merge everything into establishment categories by century (by geographic if applicable). After the merge the intermediate categories will become empty and can be deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

• Support generally -- These fine filament category threes are a hindrance to naviagation. However, I am far from convinced that the national categories for this remote period should survive, but we can discuss that on another occasion. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:21, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 20:21, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Postcolonial themes in art to :Category:Postcolonial art

:Nominator's rationale: I'd chanced across this category in an attempt to find a home for Project 1975 and noticed that all the articles were of artists, not "themes." Shall we rename to match sibling :Category:Postcolonial literature? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

• Just Delete Small group of artists randomly assigned a buzzword! Hopeless - far too subjective. Johnbod (talk) 18:36, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NONDEF, "postcolonial" is hardly mentioned in these articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: upmerge to :Category:County Commissioners in Maine and :Category:People from Oxford County, Maine. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:49, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:County Commissioners of Oxford County, Maine to :Category:People from Oxford County, Maine

:Nominator's rationale: Only has 1 entry. Per WP:SMALLCAT. ...William 00:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose per the "unless..." clause of WP:SUBCAT and as any upmerge should also be to :Category:County Commissioners in Maine. DexDor ^(talk) 20:43, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge to :Category:People from Oxford County, Maine and :Category:County Commissioners in Maine. :Category:County commissioners in the United States is subcatted by state but there no overall scheme by county (and the state categories are not large). I would suggest that the other subcats of :Category:County Commissioners in Maine should also be upmerged. Oculi (talk) 11:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
• Full Upmerge -- This needs something wider in the way of targets than as nom. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge per nom. The "unless... clause of WP:SUBCAT" (which is actually in WP:SMALLCAT rather than SUBCAT) does not pertain here, as there's no "comprehensive overall" scheme of subcategorizing all county commissioners by individual county — if there aren't enough commissioners with articles to justify a county subcategory on size grounds, then the commissioners who do have articles just stay at the state level. And because county commissioners don't get past WP:NPOL just for being county commissioners, but rather the only ones who qualify for articles are those who held a more notable position at another time in their careers or who can be sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG as being more notable than the average county commissioner, most county commissioners don't have articles at all and few if any states have enough articles to warrant the by-county subcats anyway.
