:* Propose renaming :Category:Single-photon detectors to :Category:Single photon detectors

:* Propose splitting :Category:Coptic painters to :Category:Coptic artists and :Category:Egyptian painters

:* Propose splitting :Category:Coptic sculptors to :Category:Coptic artists and :Category:Egyptian sculptors

:Nominator's rationale: Dual merge for now. These categories is underpopulated, and should be upmerged. It doesn't help navigation to have only a handful of people in here Mason (talk) 22:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Dual merge, these people's art is unrelated to their Coptic ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Course of action unclear but this category is populated with only three names. Not sure what category creator was thinking but ...

:Nominator's rationale: as stated above. 2600:1017:B817:8730:0:62:8A5E:7F01 (talk) 21:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

::Speedy Keep. There are 3 major categories in this, English, Welsh, Scottish. From your description, it seems suspiciously underpopulated, but in reality there are numerous people in the standard child categories. Mason (talk) 22:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional characters with dream manipulation abilities}}

:Nominator's rationale: Too vague. Even I have dream manipulation abilities if I wanted to learn how to lucid dream. The truly supernatural kind can be classified under any number of powers and abilities, but in itself doesn't seem defining. It should be deleted or dispersed as appropriate (i.e. to psychics or characters who can use magic). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 20:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Fictional illusionists to :Category:Fictional superhuman illusionists

:Nominator's rationale: If this category is to stay, it really needs to be more clearly separate from fictional magicians. Alternatively, maybe it should be dispersed. Is being an illusionist defining for all these characters? ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 19:15, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:African-American inventors to :Category:American inventors

:* Propose merging :Category:Alaska Native inventors and scientists to :Category:American inventors

:Nominator's rationale: Per previous Cfd on "Jewish American inventors" - WP:EGRS. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

  • Support in principle, but I assume that all articles are already in a subcategory by century and/or by state, so that the nominated categories can simply be deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:35, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
  • :I'm fine with deletion. It seems as though all articles are in an appropriate subcategory. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Keep there are countless sources which specifically discuss African-American inventors as a unique topic, see [https://www.oprahdaily.com/life/work-money/g30877473/african-american-inventors/] for an example. There is also List of African-American inventors and scientists and List of Alaska Native inventors and scientists.--User:Namiba 19:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge/delete/rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming merging :Category:1916 establishments in Hejaz to :Category:1916 establishments in Saudi Arabia :Category:1916 establishments in Asia, :Category:20th-century establishments in the Arabian Peninsula and :Category:Kingdom of Hejaz

:* Propose renaming deleting :Category:1916 in Hejaz to :Category:1916 in Saudi Arabia

:* Propose deleting :Category:20th century in Hejaz

:* Propose deleting renaming :Category:20th-century establishments in Hejaz to :Category:20th-century establishments in the Arabian Peninsula

:* Propose deleting :Category:Establishments in Hejaz by decade

:* Propose deleting :Category:Establishments in Hejaz by year

:* Propose deleting :Category:Establishments in Hejaz by century

:* Propose deleting :Category:Establishments in Hejaz

:Nominator's rationale: The 1916 category for Hejaz riyal is the only page categorised in this hierarchy. Saudi Arabia strictly began in 1925 but 4 other pages are categorised in :Category: Establishments in Saudi Arabia by year before that date, and it will be more useful for navigation to categorise this one likewise. The Hejaz riyal was the start of the Saudi riyal anyway. – Fayenatic London 22:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Jewish martial artists}}

:Nominator's rationale: Delete per a previous Cfd which deleted this category; the user deleted the container category but forgot nominate its subcats for deletion which is which this was recreated: for a target category for merging the two into one category.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Australian plays performed on Broadway}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Australian musicals performed on Broadway}}

:Nominator's rationale: As at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 9#Category%3AAustralian plays performed in Britain, it's always possible for any play from anywhere in the world to be performed anywhere else in the world at any time, so plays are not defined by the matter of whether they've been performed outside their home country or not. With almost 200 countries in the world, this would lead to extreme category bloat, requiring the creation of between 30 and 40 thousand categories for every possible combination of native country and performed-in country, which is not sustainable or maintainable at all.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Buildings and structures in Fredericia}}

:Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for a municipality not large enough to warrant its own dedicated "buildings and structures" category. As always, this would be fine if there were several buildings and structures in this municipality with articles to file here, but it does not aid navigation of the wikipedia to have a dedicated category for just one building.
