:The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:04, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|List of People with Surname Sonkar}}

:Nominator's rationale: Weird category, we do not have practice of creating such categories, I feel. The surname Wikipedia article generally contains such list. Titodutta (talk) 19:23, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

• Delete, we do have family categories, but it is not clear whether these people are members of one family. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• Delete, as an unconventional category of unrelated individuals. If anything it would be better to create a list article, or list these individuals in a surname article. Sionk (talk) 07:30, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• Convert to list as a WP:Anthroponymy article, Sonkar (surname). – Fayenatic London 12:50, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• Listify per Fayenatic. We do not allow SHAREDNAME categories, of which this is a prime example. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:26, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• List of people with surname Sonkar already exists. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:29, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• So it does – thanks. It was also created before the category. I've added one page from the category that was missing in the list. Delete the category. – Fayenatic London 22:32, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. MER-C 18:12, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Literature in Northern Ireland to :Category:Literature of Northern Ireland

:* Propose merging :Category:Fiction in Northern Ireland to :Category:Fiction of Northern Ireland

:* Propose merging :Category:Poetry from Northern Ireland to :Category:Poetry of Northern Ireland

:Nominator's rationale: merge or reverse merge, scope of the categories seem to coincide. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:01, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

• Merge - there's Literature of Northern Ireland to justify the 'of', as well as a previous cfd. Oculi (talk) 14:56, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 18:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Religion in Iraq by city to :Category:Religion in Iraq, :Category:Religion in Asia by city, :Category:Religion in the Arab world by city and :Category:Religion in the Middle East by city

:Nominator's rationale: upmerge as a redundant category layer, there are only two cities in Iraq needing a "by religion" category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

• Comment -- I suspect there is scope for populating this rather better. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:27, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

:* Which cities are you thinking of? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

• Merge. :Category:Buildings and structures in Iraq by city doesn't show any potential to expand this beyond Baghdad & Mosul, based on current articles. E.g. there are 3 articles on mosques in Basra, but that would not justify a Religion hierarchy for Basra. – Fayenatic London 22:41, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 18:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of the Palestinian territories to :Category:Orders, decorations and medals of the State of Palestine

:Nominator's rationale: The name of the category is outdated as most categories use "State of Palestine" now. Also, the country's awards system seems to have been fully established in 2018. Nice4What (talk) 00:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nom. In line with article State of Palestine and :Category:State of Palestine. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
• What?: Why fully established in 2018 and not 2019? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 11:57, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
• The article says the Minister who created their awards system worked on it from 2009 to 2018. Nice4What (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:55, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
