:* Propose deleting {{lc|The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad characters}}

:Nominator's rationale: None of these articles are about the Disney versions of these characters. If some articles about the Disney versions get created, I would not oppose recreation. (Oinkers42) (talk) 17:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

• Delete WP:SMALLCAT. Two articles isn't enough for a category. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 18:58, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• Question: shouldn't it be merged to :Category:Walt Disney Animation Studios characters? Marcocapelle (talk) 21:47, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Fiction about planetary systems to :Category:Fiction about astronomical objects

:Nominator's rationale: Overly specific and redundant, given that the only planetary system listed here that is not otherwise part of a list is the Solar System. WP:NARROWCAT. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:57, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|People acquitted of sex crimes}}

:Nominator's rationale: Is something someone didn't do really a defining characteristic? It seems wrong to associate people in this manner. --woodensuperman 13:43, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

• Support, I would be in favor of deleting all "acquitted" categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• :Delete per nom. I think that there are rare cases where being acquitted for a crime is defining. But in practically all the scenarios, they were convicted of the crime intially. Mason (talk) 00:27, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Slave owners killed in the American Civil War to :Category:American slave owners

:Nominator's rationale: Ok, so I'm updating this category to reflect that the people in it need to be remerged. The page creator is only now contesting it's deletion... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Slave_owners_killed_in_the_American_Civil_War], even though they were given notice and were active on wikipedia during the discussion. Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_29#Slave_traders_killed_in_the_American_Civil_War. Mason (talk) 13:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. Was already deleted in a recent discussion but recreated. --woodensuperman 14:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• Speedy delete. Obvious G4. Why is this even here? StAnselm (talk) 15:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per nom. {{ping|Liz}} if you are unsure on how to empty a category you can better leave it to another admin to process it rather than to remove the G4 tag. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:45, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

::Okay. I just don't want a lot of red link categories on article pages because the category was deleted before it was emptied. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:54, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

:::Comment @Liz. That's a reasonable concern, but removing it also meant that there was no other way to signal that the category ought to be deleted. Hence, I brought it here. I'm going to move most pages back to the category where they ought to be. Mason (talk) 03:27, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer, holding only :Category:Arrowverse element redirects to lists. – Fayenatic London 12:52, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:British emigrants to the Colony of New Zealand to :Category:British emigrants to New Zealand

:* Propose merging :Category:Colony of New Zealand emigrants to colonial Australia to :Category:New Zealand emigrants to Australia

:* Propose merging :Category:Emigrants from colonial Australia to the Colony of New Zealand to :Category:Australian emigrants to New Zealand

:* Propose merging :Category:Colony of New Zealand emigrants to :Category:New Zealand emigrants

:Nominator's rationale: Following up on Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_28#Category:Immigrants_to_the_Colony_of_New_Zealand this category should be merged into the parent under the same reasoning that this is overcategorization that leads to information loss and small cats Mason. The end result of the last discussion was manual merge. I think that should apply here as well. (talk) 00:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

• :Category:Colony of New Zealand emigrants to colonial Australia and :Category:Emigrants from colonial Australia to the Colony of New Zealand seem big enough to split between Australian colonies. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:56, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
• Merge per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:16, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
