:Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, mostly just a single article in every category. Note that this is not a nomination to discuss anachronism (Switzerland versus Old Swiss Confederacy), for such a discussion there should be a nomination of centuries as well. The only thing that will happen with this proposal is that Switzerland and the Old Swiss Confederacy will become consistently categorized (i.e. by century), which might be of help to set up a future anachronism discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• Support Switzerland versus Old Swiss Confederacy may well need further rationalisation, but that is for another day. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:06, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Urbanization. ℯxplicit 00:46, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Urban sprawl to :Category:Peri-urbanisation

:Nominator's rationale: We have two articles on this subject one called urban sprawl the other peri-urbanisation; the former is cited as the topic article for the category. In the introduction to that article it is noted that the term "urban sprawl" is problematic, even pejorative. ("The term urban sprawl is highly politicized, and almost always has negative connotations. It is criticized for causing environmental degradation, and intensifying segregation and undermining the vitality of existing urban areas and attacked on aesthetic grounds. Due to the pejorative meaning of the term, few openly support urban sprawl as such. The term has become a rallying cry for managing urban growth"). In light of that, I suggest we rename the category to the neutral term. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

• Merge to :Category:Urbanization. Only few articles in this category are related to Urban sprawl or Peri-urbanisation in particular, most articles are about other topics within the more general area of urbanization. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
• Merge per Marcocapelle: that is a good solution. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:02, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose merge – on my reading, several other member articles prominently mention "urban sprawl" as a defining aspect of their own topic. I don't remember coming across "peri-urban" before, but it is used in a few dozen Wikipedia articles, so perhaps renaming is appropriate. – Fayenatic London 22:24, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

:* "Only few articles" or "several other articles", that may not be so far apart. Anyway, if the category is kept then move/purge the articles that are not about this topic. I do not have a strong opinion about renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

• Alt Merge to :Category:Urbanization per Marcocapelle. "Peri-urbanisation" is pretty obscure and not everything in this cat fits neatly under that. RevelationDirect (talk) 22:50, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
