:The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:1954 disestablishments in the Maldives to :Category:1954 disestablishments in Asia and :Category:20th-century disestablishments in the Maldives

:* Propose merging :Category:1975 disestablishments in the Maldives to :Category:1954 disestablishments in Asia and :Category:20th-century disestablishments in the Maldives (added 12 December)

:* Propose deleting :Category:1954 in the Maldives

:* Propose deleting :Category:1975 in the Maldives

:Nominator's rationale: There were recent precedents to merge sparse disestablishment category structures rather than maintain them in parallel with establishment categories. – Fayenatic London 23:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom, the 1975 sibling may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
• Added now. – Fayenatic London 11:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Films with songs by Pasek and Paul}}

:Nominator's rationale: Propose deletion along the same lines and rationale as Category:Films with songs by the Sherman Brothers. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:42, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Delete per precedent. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: dual merge to :Category:Flora of the Netherlands and :Category:Trees of Europe. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Trees of the Netherlands}}

:Nominator's rationale: No articles in category. Clean up of a cateogy that should not have been recreated after merger to Category:Trees of Europe in 2015. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:57, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

• Merge to :Category:Trees of Europe, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Thoughts on merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 14:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Double merge, also to :Category:Flora of the Netherlands. It would be surprising for there to be no appropriate Netherlands parent for this category. – Fayenatic London 12:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
• :{{yo|MtBotany|Marcocapelle}} Are you okay with a dual merge? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
• :* Yes I am okay with that. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:11, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
• ::@HouseBlaster I think it would not be helpful because the category is empty except for :Category:Individual trees in the Netherlands. I think that does not belong as a subcategory of either of those. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 22:28, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
• Dual merge - per comments above. - jc37 21:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Cthulhu Mythos organizations}}

:Nominator's rationale: This category has only one article about a book, which shouldn't be in this category. Otherwise there is nearly nothing that makes sense to put in this category without twisting our interpretation of those articles or spamming it with redirects. Jontesta (talk) 14:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
• Support; the member page is already in :Category:Cthulhu Mythos role-playing games. – Fayenatic London 20:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Doctor Who. (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Doctor Who concepts}}

:Nominator's rationale: Indiscriminate and WP:SUBJECTIVECAT with only two articles. Any article about Doctor Who could be an article about a "concept". Jontesta (talk) 14:14, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

::Merge per nom and other voters Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:16, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

• Support in principle, but merge to :Category:Doctor Who. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
• Absolutely, merge. {{ping|Jontesta}} please do not use "delete" in such nominations; "delete" at CFD means that the contents would be removed from the parent hierarchies. – Fayenatic London 20:13, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Dune (franchise). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Dune (franchise) species and races}}

:Nominator's rationale: Virtually nothing to add to this category with very few articles that fit this definition. Jontesta (talk) 14:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Support in principle, but merge to :Category:Dune (franchise). Marcocapelle (talk) 20:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Masters of the Universe Evil Horde to :Category:Masters of the Universe characters

:Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization. This has only a few articles, and the root category has barely more. There isn't any need to randomly split the characters this way. Jontesta (talk) 14:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Category with just one entry. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 15:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by sea or ocean to :Category:Articles missing geocoordinate data by body of water

:Nominator's rationale: not all of these categories relate to a sea or ocean (there is a Great Lakes category, :Category:Great Lakes articles missing geocoordinate data). 1857a (talk) 05:52, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

::Support renaming. Seems fine to me. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. — The Anome (talk) 07:57, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
