:* Propose deleting {{lc|Songs about presenters}}

:*Delete per nom. --Richhoncho (talk) 11:36, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Songs about clothing and fashion}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Songs about jeans}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Songs about footwear}}

:Nominator's rationale: Most of these are WP:SHAREDNAME or entries appear simply because there is an item of clothing in the title. Being about fashion (or perceived to being about fashion) is not a defining characteristic. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 23:17, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Delete with extreme prejudice. Under what perverse reasoning can Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home), Dedicated Follower of Fashion and The Wearing of the Green be considered part of a defined category? It can’t. This shows, once again, how abused, misused and ultimately unrequired these ‘songs about’ categories are. Fails WP:CATDEF, WP:SHAREDNAME, frequently WP:V and probably a few other guidelines too. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:02, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
• Delete Part of a long series of similar CfDs in the same tree. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. C'mon, These Boots Are Made for Walkin' are not about the boots. Most just a shared named. Ready boots?--Mvqr (talk) 13:02, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom and Richhoncho. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 20:09, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Economic history of Austria-Hungary}}

:Nominator's rationale: There are no siblings in :Category:History by topic and former country. No merge is needed because the sub-cat is already in suitable parents. – Fayenatic London 21:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Support, redundant category layer. Speaking about that, there are a whole lot of nearly-empty container categories around here. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:18, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
• Delete -- The one sub-cat is already in the potential merge target. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:08, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: procedural close. The category is listed in another discussion. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:44, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Ryerson University buildings to :Category:Toronto Metropolitan University buildings

:Nominator's rationale: The cat is unnecessary and redundant. The university recently changed its name from Ryerson University to Toronto Metropolitan University. Any building that was a Ryerson building is now a TMU building. Horatio Bumblebee (talk) 21:01, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

• Comment - this should start with :Category:Ryerson University. Oculi (talk) 12:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
• Done - see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_August_5#Ryerson_University Horatio Bumblebee (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
• Comment Can this be rolled up into the other, mass, nomination? -- 64.229.88.43 (talk) 03:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
