:Nominator's rationale: Only 4 articles and one sub-cat in this category, and all of them could be re-categorized (or dumped into :Category:Education in the United States for now). power~enwiki (π, ν) 06:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep {{cl|Teaching}} is a distinct category tree within {{cl|Education}}. Tim! (talk) 15:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
• Comment, only few articles about teaching refer to one particular country. Perhaps it is an option to nominate the whole :Category:Teaching by country tree for dual upmerging. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

:: I agree that the same rationale applies to everything in :Category:Teaching by country. I don't know how to techically perform that nomination, or if this one should be expanded. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:05, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

::: In that case you need to add an extra Propose merging line for every of the 12 country categories in this nomination (or in a new nomination) and you need to tag every of the 12 country categories. There is not much technical about it. It is important however to mention a second merge target :Category:Teaching unless all articles and subcats are already somewhere else in the tree of :Category:Teaching. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:53, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

:::: OK, bundled and tagging. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:43, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

• Support per WP:SMALLCAT provided that the content is also kept within the tree of :Category:Teaching, either as a dual merge or a manual merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
• Keep - there are no small cats involved in any of these. Teaching is part of education, {{cl|Teaching}} is a subtree of the much larger tree {{cl|Education}}, and merging will submerge the few in the many. Oculi (talk) 09:48, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

:* The WP:SMALLCAT guideline refers to nominated categories (which are small in this case), it does not refer to the targets. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

::* :Category:Teaching in the United Kingdom is hardly small. Oculi (talk) 21:34, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

:::* It would be fair enough if you oppose merging :Category:Teaching in the United Kingdom specifically. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:13, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

• keep Since more categories were added, the rationale for this nomination is misleading, wrong, incomplete, and irrelevant.Hmains (talk) 19:58, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
