:* Propose merging {{cat|Sport Clubs Boca Raton}} to :Category:Sports in Boca Raton, Florida

:* Propose merging {{cat|Sports Clubs Palm Beach County}} to :Category:Sports in Palm Beach County, Florida

:Nominator's rationale: Were clearly created without knowledge of how categories should be named. Merge as categories are small and unlikely to grow in near future. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Note that I justed added Next Academy Palm Beach to :Category:Sports in Boca Raton, Florida. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Baseball leagues in North America by country to :Category:Baseball leagues in North America{{#if:| and :Category:{{{target2}}}}}

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary by country category. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:43, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::You're right. It is unnecessary because there is no multinational leagues for example. I was thinking of harmonizing it with the larger sports category tree when I created this cat but I forgot to check for this. Merge Danielsltt (talk) 05:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Video games set in forests}}

:Nominator's rationale: Not a WP:CATDEF whatsoever, so many games are (partially) set in forests. Unnecessary. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 19:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::I'm the one who made this category page last year, and I suggest we should still keep it and not deleting it. Ali17082001 (talk) 22:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Keep Criteria should be games that are mostly or entirely set in a forest (like, for example, I assume, Firewatch), not just featuring it as one of numerous settings (i.e. a JRPG with a single forest area). If it's reduced to games that the setting is defining for, it works perfectly fine. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

::Otherstuff, hypothetical category: "video games set in villages", "video games set on beaches", "video games set in deserts", "video games set on plains", "video games set in meadows", or any other geographical location or landscape. How's that a catdef? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:42, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

:::If a desert is the main setting, like Journey, it can totally be defining for a game. Just not "random desert level #15". I think the problem is with overcategorizing articles that don't have it as their defining trait. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

• Delete, as an utterly vague setting, but I would not have an objection to creating :Category:Video games set in the Amazon rainforest before deletion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:55, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
• Delete Seems to vague to be defining. Open to specific forests (real or fictional) if they can be populated. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|De Francisco family}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT of unclear utility. The only two articles filed here are one biography of a person in this family and an overview article about the concept of Colombian comedy as a whole -- but the family is a subtopic of Colombian comedy, not a parent topic, so that article doesn't belong here at all, and there would still have to be at least four other notable De Franciscos with Wikipedia articles before a category for them was warranted anyway.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Israeli expatriate football managers in Cyprus}}

:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT; should be upmerged to parent categories. Unnecessary intersection of nationality, occupation and location. No other similar categories exist, as such subdivision is excessive. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
• Upmerge per nom - this is over categorisation, and being in both {{cat|Israeli expatriate football managers}} and {{cat|Expatriate football managers in Cyprus}} is standard and sufficient. GiantSnowman 21:16, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
• Dual Upmerge Per the Giant Snowman. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|SVG stubs}}

:* Propose deleting {{tl|SVG-stub}}

:Nominator's rationale: Unpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- there have to be 60 articles to file in a stub category before its creation is warranted, and for that very reason stub categories have to be approved by the WikiProject before they're allowed to be created.
But the only content here is the stub template itself, which has not actually been added to even one article. Further, {{cl|Scalable Vector Graphics}} has just 14 articles in it, of which only one is a stub and is already appropriately stub-tagged as graphics software -- so even the SVG-stub template is not clearly needed at all, because there isn't even one article that needs it let alone 60 articles that need it. Bearcat (talk) 18:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Films set in Inyo County, California to :Category:Films set in California{{#if:| and :Category:{{{target2}}}}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just one film. As always, every county does not automatically get one of these the moment there's one film to file in it -- there would need to be at least five or six films to file here before a dedicated category for this was warranted, and it does not aid navigation at all to obsessively funnel everything down into an exhaustive smorgasbord of one-article microcategories. Bearcat (talk) 17:29, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::23 films so far. Nicholas0 (talk) 20:59, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Rename to :Category:Films set in Death Valley which is the far more defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
• :Lone Pine, Big Pine, and Manzanar are not in Death Valley, yet they are in Inyo County. Several of the films in this category are in it because they are set in Lone Pine, Big Pine, or Manzanar, not specifically in Death Valley. If anything, :Category:Films set in Death Valley would have to be a subcategory of :Category:Films set in Inyo County, California, which just goes to show you how necessary this category was in the first place. Nicholas0 (talk) 13:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
• :* Ok, dependent on how many films are set in Lone Pine, Big Pine, or Manzanar, the county category may be kept after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:00, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
• I'd certainly be willing to withdraw this now that you've populated the category properly, but since there's been a "rename" option placed on the table I can't withdraw it without a wider consensus. But for future reference, Nicholas0, it's not okay to create a category and add just one film to it, and then sweep back and start populating it only after you've been notified the next day that it was put up for a deletion discussion as a WP:SMALLCAT — if there were 23 films to file in it, then all 23 of them should have already been filed in it the moment I saw it in the first place (which was well over 24 hours after you created it). That is, if you want to create the category, then you need to add it to all of the articles that belong in it right away, rather than only doing it days after the fact. Bearcat (talk) 18:39, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Well said. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:20, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Indian Paintbrush (production company) films to :Category:Indian Paintbrush (company) films

:Nominator's rationale: Matches the new article name, which had "production" removed for WP:CONCISE reasons as there is no other company on Wikipedia with the same name. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 16:17, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

:*Propose renaming :Category:North American P-51 Mustang replicas to :Category:Replicas of North American P-51 Mustangs

:*Propose renaming :Category:Supermarine Spitfire replicas to :Category:Replicas of Supermarine Spitfires

:*Propose renaming :Category:Eiffel Tower reproductions to :Replicas and derivatives of the Eiffel Tower

:*Propose renaming :Category:Buildings designed to replicate Solomon's Temple to :Category:Replicas of Solomon's Temple

:*Propose renaming :Category:Noah's Ark replicas and derivatives to :Category:Replicas and derivatives of Noah's Ark

:*Propose renaming :Category:Viking ship replicas to :Category:Replicas of Viking ships

:*Propose renaming :Category:Stonehenge replicas and derivatives to :Category:Replicas and derivatives of Stonehenge

:Nominator's rationale: There is no consistency in the naming of subcategories of :Category:Replicas. This CfD attempts to harmonize the scheme under "Replicas of X" or "Replicas and derivatives of X", with the exception of categories where replica is used as an adjective. In particular, :Category:Replica constructions in China cannot be placed in the proposed format without a misplaced modifier. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Support Brings consistency and, more importantly, handles objects inspired by Solomon's Temple and the like, that may not technically be replicas. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Muslim princely states of India}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING. 'historic princely states of India that had Muslim rulers' means nothing for the state as a whole if it is just the head of state's personal religion. So unless these states were actually Islamic :Category:Former theocracies or otherwise had sharia as the law of the land, making them :Category:Islamic states (in which case an Alt rename to :Category:Islamic princely states of India is due), the ruler's religion is WP:NONDEFINING for the state as a whole. Note that there is no :Category:Hindu princely states of India either, otherwise I would have co-nominated it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:19, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I was about to say, maybe part of this category can be salvaged under the name of :Category:Princely states of Pakistan, but this category already exists. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:19, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: These categories were given their current names, using the style "Paintings in the collection of [Foo]", in this CfD of 15 May 2021. However, when I set up another CfD on 24 July that year to apply that naming convention to categories with the style "Paintings in [Foo]", it was unsuccessful as the new style was considered too verbose. An RfC on 24 October '21, although poorly attended, showed a preference for "Paintings in [Foo]" out of the available options.

:Please see that last RfC for the main arguments for "Paintings in [Foo]" over "Paintings in the collection of [Foo]". I would also add that collections with the word "Collection" in their names have already used the proposed style since this CfD of 25 June 2021. Ham II (talk) 06:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Rename, "in the collection of" is entirely obvious, hence unneeded. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:37, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

:Alt rationale: WP:SMALLCAT 1 C, 0 P. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:16, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

• Rename per nom. Downmerging would be less appropriate because we would then miss one from a complete series. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:40, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
• :It's the last member of a series, so that wouldn't be much of a miss, but yes, that's why renaming is my first choice. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
• Rename per nom. Definitely favor keeping the set by century. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
• Downmerge as alt nom. We are never going to get any other content for 32nd century rulers. There is thus no reason why 32nd-century Pharoahs should not be directly under rulers by century. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:35, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Unresolved dispute over the applicability of WP:SMALLCAT.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:16, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Further comment: both the rename proposal and the alt merge proposal are to be preferred over the status quo. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:32, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
• :Does my nomination as nominator count as a 'vote'? A while back I made these 'Balance so far' comments to make it easier for people to close nominations that may look complicated, but have a clear majority in favour of a particular option. In those cases I counted myself, but I'm not sure if it works that way? In this case my preference is Rename, so that would be 3 Rename v. 1 Downmerge, but I don't know if my nomination itself counts as a vote? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 06:03, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
• :* Of course the opinion of the nominator matters, but don't bother too much about the exact numbers. Better entirely stop with the "balance so far" comments as they may come across as too patronizing. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
• :*:@Marcocapelle Alright, thanks. I've seen in several cases such as the :Category:Biblical rulers by century that closers seem to have difficulty understanding what the balance is, and so these discussions just never get closed. In one such case I was asked to provide that balance, and the closer appreciated it, so that's how it started. But as an involved party I may not be the most neutral person to summarise the balance.

:Nominator's rationale: Massachusetts was preceded by the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1628–1686, 1689–1691), Plymouth Colony (1620–1686, 1689–1691), the Dominion of New England (1686–1689) and the Province of Massachusetts Bay (1691–1780) during the colonial era. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, Dominion of New England, and the Province of Massachusetts Bay included parts of New England beyond the present-day Massachusetts borders. This better aligns the category naming structure with :Category:Years in the Province of New York. Also, the territories of present-day Maine were a part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and were formally the District of Maine from 1790–1820 before statehood. Lastly, merge 1787/1788 categories for territories that were merged into the Dominion of New England. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:33, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

• Support generally but Dominion of New England was a short-lived affair and I would suggest that the categories for 1686-9 should be left according to preceding boundaries. I assume that the provincial boundaries reverted to those of the time of Charles II at the Glorious Revolution, because James II's amalgamation of provinces was opposed locallky. :Category:1687 in the Dominion of New England might be created as a parent but it should be :Category:1687 in New England, its status as a dominion being left for a headnote. Why do I see no nominations relating to Plymouth colony? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:19, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

• Merge for Now with no objection to recreation if any ever grown to 5+ articles. (Support whichever merge targets make sense, per the above conversation.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:27, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

• {{ping|RevelationDirect}} in principle I agree with smallcat, but the nomination does not contain merge targets, so a merge will be impossible to process by anyone who closes this discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::A valid point. (I obviously did not read the nom closely enough.) Rename for now. - RevelationDirect (talk) 05:43, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Catholic doctrines to :Category:Catholic theology and doctrine{{#if:| and :Category:{{{target2}}}}}

:Nominator's rationale: Having both categories is redundant. Veverve (talk) 00:17, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Support, in theory we could make a split between a set category and a topic category, but in practice that seems too confusing here. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Celebrities who have won professional wrestling championships}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEF. User:Namiba 00:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::Delete Well-established consensus to delete "celebrities" categories due to WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:23, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

::Delete per above. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:37, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

• Delete I think the intent here is celebrities knowns for something other than wrestling who then wrestled. But that sounds like either WP:PERFCAT or WP:TRIVIALCAT for the intersection. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
