:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:People from Portuguese India. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:People of Portuguese India to :Category:People from Portuguese India

:Nominator's rationale: same thing, both created by Johnpacklambert. ('From' has been preferred to 'of' in such categories by former country.) Oculi (talk) 22:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge clearly overlapping. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:15, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
• Reverse merge "from" implies they were expatriates rather than residents. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:08, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

:* No, we have many "from" categories implying residents, e.g. :Category:People from Georgia (country). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra). Without an established category tree for General Council (Andorra) members by term, this is the only plausible outcome. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra) 2019-present to :Category:Members of the 8th General Council (Andorra)

:Nominator's rationale: There are already many categories titled like this for meetings of a national legislature, like :Category:Members of the 1st Congress of Deputies (Spain) or :Category:Members of the 2nd Dáil (Ireland). There is an associated page 8th General Council. In addition, this category title is now obsolete, as there was an election in April 2023 and a new legislature sits in the present. Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Merge to :Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra), it is not a good idea to categorize politicians by consecutive terms, as that may lead to a lot of category assignments. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: delete/merge per WP:SMALLCAT (1-2 articles). Note that more work will still need to be done to this tree after this proposal. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Merge/delete per nom, but leave the last one (1809) to a next nomination. Let's treat the whole of the 19th century consistently, if reasonably possible. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge/Delete Normally I qualify these if the categories grow in size, but I just don't see that. (Open to including or punting on the 1809 subcat.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

• Support the first one per nom. For the 1st millennium CE, better expand the nomination to the 10th century (or else leave the 1st millennium alone in its entirety) because a half-diffused millennium category is rather confusing. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Fictional geologists to :Category:Fictional scientists in films and :Category: Fictional scientists in television

:Nominator's rationale: Merge targets into either :Category: Fictional scientists in films or :Category: Fictional scientists in television per WP:SMALLCAT. All geologists are scientists, and there is no need for such a narrow categorization when a much fuller and broader cat already exists. In fact Randy Marsh (South Park) is already listed in both cats. SanAnMan (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

::Merge One article and one redirect. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Dual Triple merge, also to :Category:Fictional earth scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• :@Marcocapelle just to be clear, are you suggesting that all the entries under :Category:Fictional earth scientists be merged into either :Category:Fictional scientists in films or :Category:Fictional scientists in television as appropriate? Because I'd agree with that since all the sub-cats in Fictional earth scientists as well as that cat itself are also guilty of WP:SMALLCAT. - SanAnMan (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• ::Randy Marsh is already in the earth scientists category as well. I'd definitely upmerge all of the subcategories of :Category:Fictional earth scientists, at minimum, as Mei (Overwatch) and Nami (One Piece) are collectively the only non-redirects in two of the others; not sure about :Category:Fictional paleontologists which contains 4 articles for characters from 3 different works. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
• ::* So it is to merging to {:Category:Fictional scientists in films OR :Category: Fictional scientists in television} AND :Category:Fictional earth scientists. I'd be happy to see a next nomination for :Category:Fictional earth scientists. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
• Recap So, just to summarize what we have so far, the current proposal is:
  Move all targets in the various sub-cats of :Category:Fictional earth scientists to either :Category:Fictional scientists in films or :Category: Fictional scientists in television as appropriate, and then Delete :Category:Fictional earth scientists and all of its sub-cats including :Category:Fictional cartographers, :Category:Fictional geologists, :Category:Fictional meteorologists, and :Category:Fictional paleontologists. It would need to be a move/delete rather than a standard merge as some targets would need to go into the "films" cat while others into the "television" cat. Am I on the same wavelength as the rest of you? - SanAnMan (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

:* It is a bit confusing to start a discussion about categories that have not been nominated yet. Anyway, what would be the rationale for :Category:Fictional earth scientists? Not WP:SMALLCAT, I guess. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Cancelled boxing matches to :Category:Boxing matches and :Category:Cancelled sports events

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, not enough other cancelled boxing matches, so makes sense to upmerge. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose Per WP:SMALLCAT: unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme, see {{cat|Cancelled sports events}}. Also Per WP:SMALLCAT: a category which does have realistic potential for growth... may be kept even if only a small number of its articles actually exist at the present time. There is a potential for growth plus overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Teterev53 (talk) 14:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

::Small categories are accepted in subcategorization scheme when it aids reader navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:27, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

:* As of now, each sport is included in {{cat|Cancelled sports events by sport}}. Teterev53 (talk) 00:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

::* It is not part of a large subcategorization scheme, in fact a whole lot of micro-categories have been created. WP:SMALLCAT still applies and the creation of these micro-categories should be reverted. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

:::* There are 19 subcategories as of now. How much subcategories needed for confirmation of large scheme status? Teterev53 (talk) 19:08, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

::::* It is not about the number of subcategories but about the size of them. If many subcategories are small then the tree is not large. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

:::::* What size is needed for large scheme? Where I can read about it? The subcategories consist of big number of pages: 154 (association football), 107 (athletics), 25 (baseball), 38 (basketball) 35 (cricket), 68 (cycling), 17 (field hockey), 48 (figure skating), 41 (ice hockey), 94 (motorsport) etc. So, more than 700+ pages included in the subcats. Is it a large scheme or not? How much articles needed for large scheme? Teterev53 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

::::::* It is not a large scheme because only a limited of sports subcategories have a vast amount of articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:09, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

::::* Since this discussion started, {{U|Teterev53}} has created {{cat|Cancelled judo competitions}} and {{cat|Cancelled chess competitions}}, both SMALLCAT violations. Which is the only reason that their above statement {{tq|As of now, each sport is included in {{cat|Cancelled sports events by sport}}}} is true. It was fine as it was, with SMALLCATs merged up into {{cat|Cancelled sports events}}, like how it was a few days ago. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

:::::* No violation of WP:SMALLCAT here, read the quotes above about potential for growth and large scheme. Teterev53 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Do you propose to change WP:SMALLCAT and remove the words unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme? Teterev53 (talk) 00:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

::*Creating sibling categories without consensus during an open CFD discussion is not an "accepted sub-categorization scheme". - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

• Revert additional categorical mess created by Teterev53. He has created categories for chess, equestrian and judo. ALL WITH ONE ARTICLE. Delete the new categories he has created in this tree. I have nominated them for merging back. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
• Merge per Aidan721. There is no 'large overall accepted' scheme. Oculi (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
• Revert The other categories created during this nomination per Aidan above. Maybe they were sincerely created, maybe WP:POINTY, but the appropriate course was to wait for a consensus to be reached here. (Note that this is a 2nd iVote, specific to the recent changes.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

• Upmerge :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Lebanon
• Upmerge :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Switzerland
• Keep :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in the United Kingdom
• Keep :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in France
• Upmerge :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Germany (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:47, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Lebanon to :Category:Expatriates from Mandatory Palestine in Lebanon

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Switzerland to :Category:Expatriates from Mandatory Palestine in Switzerland

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in the United Kingdom to :Category:Expatriates from Mandatory Palestine in the United Kingdom

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in France to :Category:Expatriates from Mandatory Palestine in France

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates in Germany to :Category:Expatriates from Mandatory Palestine in Germany

:Nominator's rationale: To avoid ambiguity in the name of the country. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:54, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep per :Category:Mandatory Palestine people, :Category:Mandatory Palestine expatriates. Or upmerge small ones to parents per :WP:SMALLCAT; 2 are singletons and the largest has 7. There is no decrease in ambiguity: 'from' is a very vague term. Oculi (talk) 14:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge all except France and UK per SMALLCAT, but definitely do not rename. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:13, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge all except France and UK per above discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Comment & Query I'm fine with the merge ALT. But why "definitely do not rename"? The current name, beginning with the word "mandatory", looks like it was the forcible expulsion of Palestinians. Putting it as the third word in upper case, makes it less likely that this error would occur. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
• Start with :Category:Mandatory Palestine people then. Category names are top-down: naming twigs at lower levels out-of-sync with upper levels is contrary to WP:C2C. Oculi (talk) 10:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Apes from language studies to :Category:Individual apes from language studies

:Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_18#Category:Iraqi_people_by_ethnic_or_national_origin_and_occupation, as there is consensus against triple intersection of ethnicity, nationality, and occupation.

:Nominator's rationale: Per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_17#Category:Loriciel_games, where both participants noted that Virtual Studio was a later name of Loriciel. In fact, this category was tagged without ever being formally added to the nomination. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:: Merge - Since Virtual Studio is basically Loriciels (see this source: https://archive.org/details/games-world-03/page/n9/mode/1up), i don't have any issues with the category merging with the Loriciel category. Roberth Martinez (talk) 21:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:Assassinated anarchists. (@{{u|asilvering}}) (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:33, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Murdered anarchists}}

:Nominator's rationale: Overcategorized intersection by identity trait—This is not a "combination that is recognized as a distinct/unique cultural topic in its own right", i.e., it would not be reasonable to create an article or list about this intersection. It also leads to classification of murder where it might be unclear or ambiguous, and implies a connection between the two attributes where there isn't always one. czar 04:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose, this ought to be part of :Category:Murdered political activists which is a far from trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Assassinated anarchists as a subcategory of :Category:Assassinated people, as ideology is defining for targets of politically motivated crimes. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

:* That is a good option too. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

::* No, it is a much better option, to be exact. Assassination is what matters here, not just a random murder. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:48, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

::*:Agree that assassination is politically relevant (and thus relevant to anarchist biographies), but I expect most of these belong in fact to :Category:Executed anarchists, which already exists. If the category is renamed to Assassinated, someone will need to go through and double-check which bio goes where. I'm happy to do that if the category is renamed, if someone pings me about it. -- asilvering (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
