:The result of the discussion was: Move to :Category:Mario video games. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) JOEBRO64 11:11, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Mario Universe games}}

:Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic for games. I think WP:OR could also apply here, because you could argue that Perfect Dark takes place in the Mario universe because it's in Rare Replay and Banjo-Kazooie is in Rare Replay and Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie appears in Diddy Kong Racing. JOEBRO64 23:42, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose - Simply change the name (and therefore the scope) to just :Category:Mario video games, which would follow other common categories like :Category:The Legend of Zelda video games. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 04:33, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Birmingham Bears cricketers to :Category:Warwickshire cricketers

:Nominator's rationale: As per consensus on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Birmingham Bears Twenty20 Cricket Club, Birmingham Bears are not a distinct club from Warwickshire CCC, but are just the name for Warwickshire's T20 team. As the pages are getting merge, so should these categories Joseph2302 (talk) 19:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Beetles of Great Britain to :Category:Beetles of Europe

:* Propose merging :Category:Beetles of the British Isles to :Category:Beetles of Europe

:Nominator's rationale: Non-defining e.g. for Aleochara. See previous CFDs e.g. for spiders. For info: there is a list that is much more comprehensive than the category. DexDor ^(talk) 19:06, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Automobiles to :Category:Cars

:Nominator's rationale: I tried to get this done through speedy, but now I'm here. The main article was moved from 'automobile' to 'car' four years ago, and this subject is clearly the primary topic of the word 'cars'. Consistency with the main article is desirable, and 'cars' is a better title for the category for all the reasons we moved the article. There is already a category for motor vehicles broadly, to match with the article motor vehicle, so that should not be an issue. Can we tidy this up? RGloucester — ☎ 16:21, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

• Support in the spirit of WP:C2D. Having the article at the new title for four years is a sufficiently long time. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support, noting that there are many sub-cats which would need to be renamed accordingly. If this looks like it will be approved, I suggest that someone re-lists it, adding at least the main sub-cats at the next level, after which the rest could follow as speedy. – Fayenatic London 20:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support Per my reasoning at Commons:Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/07/Category:Automobiles. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Establishments in Lower Burma by year to :Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year

:* Propose merging :Category:1852 establishments in Lower Burma to :Category:1852 establishments in Burma and :Category:1852 establishments in the British Empire

:* Propose merging :Category:1861 establishments in Lower Burma to :Category:1861 establishments in Burma and :Category:1861 establishments in the British Empire

:Nominator's rationale: these outliers within :Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year do not help navigation. Note: Upper Burma, ruled by the Konbaung dynasty, remained independent of Britain until 1885, so I agree that :Category:1852 establishments in Burma etc should not be sub-cats of British Empire. – Fayenatic London 09:57, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

• Alternatively, merge the first one but keep the others, and split/rename all the establishments and year categories within :Category:Years of the 19th century in Burma from 1824 to 1885 to Lower Burma / Upper Burma. I think only 1852 would require both. – Fayenatic London 10:31, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support for consistency. If desired, the alternative should be discussed in a separate nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary capitalization of "highways". Should also apply to all 49 subcategories (are there no highways in Hawaii?) Bradv 05:28, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

• Comment these are specifically about roads that are part of the United States Numbered Highway System, which indeed is not in Hawaii. (Alaska Route 2 isn't actually part of that system either, though it was proposed at one point). The various :Category:Interstate Highways in Wyoming categories are a similar (and possibly stronger) argument to rename to avoid excessive capitalization. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:52, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose The nom would be correct if this was a set of descriptive titles per WP:NDESC ... but it isn't.

:This is a set of cats based on a proper name, the capitalised United States Numbered Highway System, known as "U.S. Highways" for short. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

• oppose since it's a proper name: see United States Numbered Highway System. Mangoe (talk) 15:10, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support Since there is no entity called "U.S. Highways", then it is not a title. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

::Sorry, but you are incorrect. Mangoe (talk) 20:53, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. U.S. Highways refer specifically to the United States Numbered Highway System. –Fredddie™ 04:02, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per proper name of system and component highways. SounderBruce 04:03, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose because this refers to just the U.S. Highways, not the U.S. highways (meaning any highway in the US). --Rschen7754 05:41, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
