:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:Russian diaspora in Australia. ✗plicit 03:54, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Russian Australian to :Category:Australian people of Russian descent

:Nominator's rationale: The one person entry I did a thing which is actually is a person should be listed in Category:Australian people of Russian descent. LibStar (talk) 23:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose, I moved the article to the subcategory but that in itself is not a reason to merge the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:36, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
• Rename to :Category:Russian diaspora in Australia. Adjectives in category names are ambiguous and a weird syntax. It is common practice to move the Fooian Barian topic categories to Fooian diaspora in Bar or Fooian-Barian society. {{Re|LibStar|Marcocapelle}} what is your opinion on this alternative? Place Clichy (talk) 01:49, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Having a noun in the category name is an obvious improvement. I like it this way. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

::Support change to :Category:Russian diaspora in Australia. LibStar (talk) 02:00, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:ASSOCIATEDWITH. I could be a great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of some monarch somewhere, but not have a title. The lack of a title doesn't make me someone special. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Yachting races to :Category:Sailing competitions

:* Propose merging :Category:Sailing regattas to :Category:Sailing competitions

:Nominator's rationale: Use of the terms yacht and regatta (redirected to boat racing, see below) are varying and therefore hard to categorise. The two categories get all kinds of sailing competitions that would fit into their parent category.

:The proposal is to upmerge the two categories to :Category:Sailing competitions. :Category:Sailing competitions could be split in :Category:Offshore sailing competitions and :Category:One-design fleet racing competitions (inspired by Offshore & Oceanic Sailing and Fleet Racing, among six other Types of Sailing, presented on World Sailing (governing body) website [https://www.sailing.org/our-sport/types-of-sailing/ here].

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Sailboat type designs by designer. Nominator's rationale had a hole in it, but the other justifications based on established conventions and similarity was sufficient. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Sailboat type designs by design office to :Category:Sailboat type designs by designer

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer, several offices are named NN Yacht Design or NN & XX. Categories are parent and child to each other. Other :Category:Works by designer categories has both people and offices. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 16:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

• One is a person and the other is a company they are not the same thing and these should not be merged. Yachty4000
• Merge I think it's OK if "designer" could either mean a person or a firm. In practice, it might be hard to distinguish anyway since any current designer would have a corporate entity set up and most of the firms are founded/lead by a single person. (If kept, "design firm" would be clearer than "design office".) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|13th-century Grand Princes of Moscow}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 item because there was only 1 historically undisputed prince of Moscow in the 13th century, and that was Daniel of Moscow (reigned c. 1280s to 1303, is also in the next cat :Category:14th-century Grand Princes of Moscow which is not a SMALLCAT). I removed Boris Mikhailovich and Mikhail Khorobrit, because it is heavily disputed (as their bios say) whether they had ever been "prince of Moscow" before Daniel. Per WP:NPOV and WP:ARBITRARYCAT, we cannot categorise people who may or may not have been Foo of Bar. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 15:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Women's 470 World Championships}}

:Nominator's rationale: The 470 World Championships men and women events have, since a women’s event was added in 1985 until both being replaced by a mixed event in 2022, been held together. Other articles, if existing, e.g. the 2017 470 World Championships, deals with the two events together, with the two articles of this category coming from the times the championship has been included in a bigger event, the Sailing World Championships. This has happened another three times (currently without articles).

:If kept, I believe the category should be renamed :Category:Women's events at the 470 World Championships following :Category:Women's events at the Summer Olympics.

:Note: the category had one article until yesterday which I, when overlooking the :Category:Sailing competitions-tree, then moved to :Category:470 World Championships, and later was readded together with one other article. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 09:58, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. There are only two women's events at this competition and they are already categorized in the parent, so delete. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
