:* Propose merging :Category:African-American Latter Day Saints from Utah to :Category:African-American Latter Day Saints

:Nominator's rationale: Needles trivial intersection of ethnicity, location, and religion. There already exists :Category:African-American Latter Day Saints which is probably the more suitable category. Not only that but taking a look through the article in this category, only three of the subjects were actually born in Utah. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:05, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• Full upmerge so that they are also in :Category:Latter Day Saints from Utah . Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Music societies to :Category:Music organizations

:Nominator's rationale: Small category of miscellaneous articles with not much in common. Better dispersed to better defined categories Rathfelder (talk) 15:22, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. No need to merge, all articles are already in :Category:Music organizations by country. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
• Delete, don't merge, as Marcocapelle says. — Warren. ‘ talk , 00:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Craniates to :Category:Chordates

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer - see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_14#Category:Cristozoa. DexDor ^(talk) 06:27, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• Merge - unnecessary. We don't need categories for every conceivable layer of organism. The tree upwards is :Category:Chordates, :Category:Deuterostomes, :Category:Bilaterians, :Category:Eumetazoa, :Category:Animals, :Category:Apoikozoa, :Category:Filozoa, :Category:Holozoa, :Category:Opisthokonts, :Category:Amorphea, :Category:Eukaryotes, :Category:Organisms, most of which have been created recently by Caftaric and serve no purpose whatever. Oculi (talk) 13:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
• Merge there's no need to have the category tree include the entire taxonomic hierarchy. Plantdrew (talk) 19:24, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
