:The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯxplicit 04:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:BHP Billiton to :Category:BHP

:Nominator's rationale: to line up with article renaming a few months ago 61.68.24.98 (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Question -- Have both dual listed parent companies been renamed to BHP? I think not: if so, oppose and reverse the article rename. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

:* BHP Shipping is the shipbuilding arm of BHP, according to the article. So no need to oppose. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

• Support - Company rebranded in 2017 as described in article. Consensus to rename article was reached here. Nanbai22 (talk) 04:33, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Deuterostomes of Japan to :Category:Fauna of Japan

:Nominator's rationale: This is the only deuterostomes-of- category.  This is an unnecessary category layer (it contains just 2 items) between the vertebrates and fauna categories and (unlike those categories) the word "deuterostomes" is rather specialist.  See related recent CFD. DexDor ^(talk) 20:28, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Merge - the single article Clavelina elegans (at the top level) doesn't mention Deuterostome so the category is not supported by the text. Oculi (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF - many of the articles in these categories don't even mention the specified country (example edit[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=African_butter_catfish&type=revision&diff=482642230&oldid=443489892]).

:For info: Example of a previous similar CFD.  Note: after an upmerge the FofWA category tag should be removed from those articles that are in the FFofWA subcat. DexDor ^(talk) 19:31, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Support -- Biota categories for every country are a variety of category clutter. However, I wonder whether a more specific :Category:Fish of tropical West Africa would not be more appropriate: I note that Mali and Chad do not appear in this list. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

::There is no :Category:Fish of Mali. Chad is normally considered part of Central Africa not West Africa. DexDor ^(talk) 08:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Plants containing caffeine}}

:Nominator's rationale: Seems redundant to :Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants. Steel1943 (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Delete Surely we're not now going to have separate categories for Plants containing theobromine and Plants containing theophylline, especially since plants containing one of these xanthines generally contain all three. :Category:Plants containing xanthines is possible, though pretty abstruse. The existing :Category:Herbal and fungal stimulants seems sufficient -- though I think a better name for it would be :Category:Plants and fungi containing stimulants. --Macrakis (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
• Listify. No need for a category, but a list - either stand-alone or as part of Caffeine#Natural occurrence - would be worthwhile. It'd also be far more meaningful since — according to the article — there seem to be only about five articles about caffeine-producing plants (of which ony two are categorised) but there are some sixty plants which produce caffeine. Grutness...wha? 01:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
• Comment See Category_talk:Herbal_and_fungal_stimulants --Macrakis (talk) 16:44, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
• Populate - The suggested target is an appropriate parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:27, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Class (grouping)}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. The category text is IMO hard for normal people to follow (and too long for a category page, contains redlink etc), but the contents of the category (e.g. :Category:First-class cricket, USB mass storage device class, J class (a dab page) and Parvclass (a redirect)) appear to indicate that it's for pages with "class" in their title.

:Note: This is one of a number of similar categories created by the same editor recently - several are already at CFD. DexDor ^(talk) 06:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

• Support, completely unrelated items have been put together in a category just because they have "class" in their name. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Grutness...wha? 00:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Rathfelder (talk) 10:14, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
