:* Propose deleting {{lc|John Macphail Scholarship}}

:Nominator's rationale: None of those who have received this scholarship appear to have become notable because of it, so it would seem that being a recipient of it is not something inherently notable. – PeeJay 23:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Support, not a sufficiently defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:55, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Internet companies of Slovenia to :Category:Online companies of Slovenia

:Nominator's rationale: Only one article at the moment, but about a company better described as online. I'm confident we will find more articles to populate the category. Rathfelder (talk) 16:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nom. Note on implementation when renaming: the second parent category has to be adapted accordingly. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:00, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Companies of the United States by type to :Category:Companies of the United States

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate category. "Type" is too ambiguous to be the basis of such a category Rathfelder (talk) 11:55, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Support, the content of this category reflects a very vague typology. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Companies of India by type to :Category:Companies of India

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate category. 9 subcategories, which dont have much in common.. Rathfelder (talk) 11:49, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Companies of Laos by type to :Category:Companies of Laos

:Nominator's rationale: only content is Defunct companies of Laos‎ Rathfelder (talk) 11:44, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Support, same thing as for the US, further up on this page. And besides a container category with one subcategory merely hinders navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:19, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Companies of Ukraine by type to :Category:Companies of Ukraine

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate category. Only content is Privately held companies of Ukraine‎. Not helpful to subcategorise companies by type by country. "By type" is far too ambiguous. Rathfelder (talk) 11:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to parents. MER-C 10:40, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Stunticons}}

:Nominator's rationale: Minor category with no navigational benefit or room for growth. No need to merge because the only article is either already in the parent categories or the parent category is also a minor category that is navigationally useless. TTN (talk) 11:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Category also contains two redirects that do not go to specific lists within the parent categories. Nominator's comments are too vague to rely on; which of those descriptions fits :Category:Fictional cars? Merge to all parents :Category:Combiners (Transformers), :Category:Decepticons and :Category:Transformers automobiles (as subcat of :Category:Fictional cars). – Fayenatic London 11:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Vehicons}}

:Nominator's rationale: Minor category with no navigational benefit or room for growth. The other parent category seems completely pointless, so no need to merge. TTN (talk) 11:18, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Yes, delete. – Fayenatic London 11:47, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Chancellors of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem}}

:Nominator's rationale: The category contains only :Eliahu Eilat, who is already in :Category:Hebrew University of Jerusalem faculty. He is described in the article as "the president of Hebrew University from 1962 to 1968" so the category could alternatively be renamed "Presidents of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem". TSventon (talk) 10:59, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Support in principle but merge to :Category:Presidents of universities in Israel instead of plain delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:42, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
• Support amended proposal. I missed "Presidents of universities in Israel". TSventon (talk) 09:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
• Support amended proposal by Marcocapelle. Place Clichy (talk) 09:56, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:G6. Portal:Buddhism was deleted per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Buddhism, so the category is now empty. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

----

:* Propose merging :Category:Buddhism portals to :Category:Religion portals and :Category:Indian religions portals

:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. After the deletion of several Buddhism-related portals, this category is now a pointless layer. It contains only two items, i.e. Portal:Buddhism and :Category:Buddhism portal. So best merged to both parent categs. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:14, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Companies formerly based in Redmond, Washington}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Companies formerly based in Stockholm}}

:Nominator's rationale: Delete Categorizing companies by where they are formerly based is a WP:OVERCAT; as evidence, of all the cities on Earth where companies were formerly based, these are the only two such categories. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Do not delete the first one but rename to :Category:Defunct companies based in Redmond, Washington, as part of :Category:Defunct companies based in Washington (state). These do not seem to be companies that have moved HQ, but defunct companies. OK to delete the Stockholm one, which holds extant companies that have relocated. – Fayenatic London 11:27, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:* I'd be fine with that. UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:59, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
