:* :Category:Sri Lankan people of Polish-Jewish descent (only contains Jeanne Hoban, who was not "Polish")

:Nominator's rationale: This is a classical case of unverified and unsourced Wikipedia:Overcategorization by {{ping|Spiderjerky}} where a user has created a lot of pseudo-categories and parents for one person Jeanne Hoban based on her purported Jewishness, when in fact her article clearly states Jeanne Hoban#Early years: "She was born in Gillingham, Kent. Her father, Major William Leo Hoban was a British featherweight boxer and former soldier of Irish roots, her mother, May Irene Free, was a small businesswoman of partly Jewish extraction." providing no sources whatsoever. Basically Jeanne Hoban was born in England and lived in Sri Lanka and she should go into : Category:Sri Lankan people of English descent & :Category:British expatriates in Sri Lanka which for some unknown reason she is not placed in.

:Thank you, IZAK (talk) 21:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletion discussions. 21:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC) IZAK (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable intersections. Another set of "descent" categories suffering not only the problem IZAK identifies of miscategorization, but the usual problems of objectively determining: how much of Fooian descent must one be and how distant must/can it be; then finding reliable sources tell us that the person is within those objectively determined definitions (without adequate sourcing of any patrilineal claims of descent - not everyone is the child of who they call dad). This also has the additional problem of the inclusion of "Jewish", which may remain purely a religious designation. Does someone become of "Jewish" descent if an ancestor converted to Judaism but their collateral relatives from non-converting ancestors have different ethnicities/descents. If so, then these "descent" categories for some imparted blood-lines are even more useless. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete all per nominator. This is a good catch: a forest of non-notable intersections of attributes not held by the one person placed in the forest, and which would be of dubious value even if there was evidence for their veracity. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete all per above. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete all -- They seem to exist because one person was distantly of some unspecified eastern European (Ashkenazi) descent. Jewish descent is matrilineal, which might make a Jewish (or of Jewish descent). The Jews in eastern Europe were generally endogamous, so that Carlossuarez46's comment is misplaced: Being Jewish is not purely an issue of religion, but a quasi-ethnic category.

• Note: nomination cleaned up. @User:Namiba, it would help a lot if you took a few moments to format your CFD nominations in the conventional way.

::::I don't think what I added is inappropriate, but, either way, a city of almost 40,000 residents in a metropolitan area is clearly one that doesn't fit WP:SMALLCAT criteria.--User:Namiba 23:31, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• @A.-K. D., renaming the category would not resolve the problem that it fails WP:SMALLCAT. The fact that Commons has lots photos is the abbey is irrelevant; this category exists to group the content on en.wp, and there isn't enough content on en.wp to support a category on en.wp.
  If the category exists on en.wp, it follows the name of the head article, which is :St. John's Abbey, Kilkenny. If you want the head article to be renamed, then open a WP:RM discussion ... but please note that per WP:COMMONNAME, article titles are follow usage in {{talkquote|independent, reliable English-language sources}} ... and one editor's imprssion of the views of {{tq|everyone in Kilkenny|q=y}} is not a WP:Reliable source. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:49, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

:::@Maculosae tegmine lyncis, try some WP:Civility. The only frivolous/vexatious actions here is your 8-year-long run of creating categories without trying to populate them. In the case of this category, you didn't even bother to add the head article Bungo-Ōno: it was added[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Bungo-%C5%8Dno,_%C5%8Cita&oldid=493648401] on by Good Ol'factory 9 hours after you created[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Bungo-%C5%8Dno,_%C5%8Cita&oldid=493648401] the category.
That is not a one-off issue: I stumbled across this nest of WP:SMALLCATs when my AWB run adding missing eponymous categories across all topics repeatedly found similar cases of missing eponcats for Japanese towns. Please drop the anger, sarcasm and personal attacks, and put your energies populating the categories the categories which which you created as mostly one-article categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:35, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

:::* @Maculosae tegmine lyncis, it is not useful to just mention articles that belong in the category in this discussion. Take your responsibility and actually add these articles to the category. (Which you should have done when you created the category.) Marcocapelle (talk) 19:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

:::::Please could you clarify how the save function works in terms of server storage space/requirements. For instance, say you have a town page of 100k and create ten new categories, adding in the categories one by one (each category addition being of c. 30 bytes); would you then have 1 mb of additional storage requirements or 300 bytes? Is it the diffs that are saved (and somehow combined when you load a page) or the new page in aggregate? Thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

::::::@Maculosae tegmine lyncis: this is nothing to do with storage space. This is about the fact that smallcats are an impediment to navigation, which is the primary purpose of categories (see WP:CAT). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

:::::::Such considerations may relate to how particular users edit, which presumably does not relate to whether a category is WP:SMALLCAT compliant or not. Also, when these categories are added, the corresponding eg towns are (?typically? - always, I think, certainly by me) not removed from the Category:Towns of x prefecture category, eg Tawaramoto is both a subcategory and a page, thus obviating such a problem; where then is the impediment? thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 11:54, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 16:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

: Propose merging:

:* :Category:Sandycove and Glasthule railway station to :Category:Railway stations in County Dublin

:* :Category:Tara Street railway station to :Category:Railway stations in County Dublin

:* :Category:Sydney Parade railway station to :Category:Railway stations in County Dublin

:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Only the head article Sandycove and Glasthule railway station and one image. No chance of expansion. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:Addition: In this edit have added Tara Street and Sydney Parade, each of which also has only the head article and one image. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:20, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Merge all in the spirit of WP:C2F. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:25, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Support as these are unlikely to ever be populated much more. Maybe there are a few more hidden around the place. ww2censor (talk) 09:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• @ww2censor: I looked for other similar categories for Irish railway stations, but found none in the by-county categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Rolando (video game)}}

:Nominator's rationale: Too little content for an eponymous category. Upmerge as appropriate (seems like both entries can go in all categories). ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Sai Mai District}}

:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Only the head article foo and one other. Both are adequately categorised, so need to merge. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:46, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: Populated. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Keep, now that the nomination's concerns are no longer the case. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:41, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
• Keep: rationale already addressed. — Emperork (talk) 02:35, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only the eponymous Rikubetsu, Hokkaido and one other article. Both articles are adequately categorised, so no merge needed. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:Behavioral retargeting. MER-C 15:08, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

: Propose renaming either:

:* :Category:Retargeting to :Category:Behavioral retargeting
or

:* :Category:Retargeting to :Category:Internet retargeting

:Nominator's rationale: disambiguation. This category is about "retargeting" in online advertising, for which the main appears to be Behavioral retargeting, even tho it's currently not in the category.
The bare title Retargeting is about computer software compilation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:33, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Option A per the title of the most relevant article, which I have added to the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose Upmerging :Category:Support ships of the Royal Navy to :Category:Auxiliary ships of the Royal Navy

:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:C2D, consistency with main article's name

:We recently decided to merge :Category:Support ships into the proper subcategories of :Category:Auxiliary ships in this CFD discussion. That was based on the two categories having the same scope and going with the main article name, Auxiliary ship. This subcategory was missed in that earlier nomination and the Royal Navy doesn't seem to have any specific/unique distinction between these two terms. (Tagging those involved in that earlier nom regardless of how they iVoted: {{ping|Bibliomaniac15|Clarityfiend|Marcocapelle}}) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:53, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Merge per nom and prior related decision. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:47, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Merge in line with the previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:17, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Biratori, Hokkaido}}

:Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only one article, and AFAICS the head article Biratori, Hokkaido lists no other pages which could be added to this category. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete for Now With no objection to recreating if we ever get up to 5 articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 14:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Deaths from cardiac arrest}}

:Nominator's rationale: Every death is from cardiac arrest. While in some cases the cause of that arrest may be significant (and looking at the articles in this category, many of them list a specific cause), the fact of cardiac arrest itself will never be defining. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

• Delete. A WP:NONDEFINING attribute. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete this attribute is not defining. @{{u|Nikkimaria}} for the purposes of trivia, decapitation and being crushed to a pulp in an instant by an inordinately large object would be two ways of dying that don't involve cardiac arrest. --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• @Tom (LT), I have hunch that if a the Hoba meteorite had landed on my head, my heart would have stopped beating on account of being squashed to the thickness of rice paper. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 08:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

::*Legal death may predate cardiac arrest - as necessarily so in heart transplant donors. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• Comment: There doesn't appear to be a :Category:Deaths from ischemic heart disease, which I suspect might be a more accurate categorisation for many of the articles. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete I have broader concerns about obituary based categorization, but this one is especially non-defining. RevelationDirect (talk) 14:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
• Delete the cause of death I think is notable, but this is basically how death is determined (as opposed to "brain death", where someone is legally dead before the heart stops.) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
