:The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:1920s Mexican film stubs to :Category:1920s film stubs and :Category:Mexican film stubs

:Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category. As always, stub categories are not free for just anybody to create willy-nilly, and have to have around 60 articles before they can be created -- but there are just six articles here, and a full AWB comparison between {{cl|Mexican films}} and {{cl|1920s film stubs}} failed to find 54 more. Bearcat (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Apologies for the oversight. Οἶδα (talk) 23:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|USOPC profile template using accessdate parameter}}

:Nominator's rationale: Parameter {{para|accessdate}} of Template:USOPC profile stopped being used together with the category in Special:Diff/1168233416. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Wikipedians in Bombay Beach, California}}

:Nominator's rationale: Bombay Beach, California has only a few hundred inhabitants, and apparently none of them edit Wikipedia (since the category holds no users). jlwoodwa (talk) 20:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Usage of this category was removed from Template:Royal Belgian Football Association player in Special:Diff/1125288254. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: no consensus. As a well-attended discussion, I am opting not to WP:RELIST this discussion: {{tq|If the closer feels there has been substantive discussion, and disparate opinions supported by policy have been expressed, but consensus has not been achieved, a no-consensus close may be preferable}}. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Countries in Europe by region}}

:Nominator's rationale: Previously deleted after discussion as seen [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_7#Category:Northwestern_European_countries here] Moxy🍁 19:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

• keep - useful category for several existing subcategories, same category exists for other continents, see :Category:Countries in Africa by region, :Category:Countries in Asia by region, and :Category:Countries in Oceania by region. Geapply (talk) 19:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
• Delete as per the previous arguments. It can only be a very short finite list that doesn't actually help define anything. Plus the amount of edit wars over what region a country is in is ridiculous. Provides no advantage to the encyclopaedia. Canterbury Tail talk 20:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
• {{ping|Moxy}} don't you intend to nominate the subcategories? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as WP:CSD#G4 from this CfD. Nobody (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: The contents of the category are substantially different to how they were in the previous CfD. The subcategories are legitimate and are better contained in this category than upmerged into either of the parents. Mclay1 (talk) 04:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: keep. Speedy move happened; nomination in moot. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Rugby Africa Cup}}

:Nominator's rationale: There is a speedy request to move :Category:Africa Cup to :Category:Rugby Africa Cup. To preserve the category history the newly created category needs to be deleted and the speedy move actioned. Bcp67 (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

• Comment, the speedy move already took place, with preservation of history. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:People from Siemiatycze to :Category:People from Siemiatycze County

:* Propose merging :Category:Politicians from Siemiatycze to :Category:People from Siemiatycze County

:Nominator's rationale: Small categories (only one person in the people category and only two in the politicians category) for a small (pop. 14K) town. As always, this would be fine if there were a lot more people from Siemiatycze to file in it than this, but every town does not automatically need or get one of these the moment just a couple of people with Wikipedia articles have been from there -- and since we already have the county-level category, which only has eight people in it and thus isn't in any desperate need of diffusion, there's no significant loss of context in just using that instead.

:Nominator's rationale: Template:FootballDatabase.eu stopped using this category for tracking in 2022, see Special:Diff/1125919207. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: delete. No affirmative consensus to create a dab page, but no consensus against such an action either. Therefore, Johnbod should feel free to do so, in the understand that this CfD is not a "get-out-of-a-future-CfD-free" card for said page. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Princes of Venice}}

:Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic, neither for the vice roy of Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic) neither for the claimed head of the former royal family of Italy. And these two articles is all there is in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:16, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete/turn to list of disam page At the moment Prince of Venice redirects to the Napoleonic one; probably a list/disam page would be better. Johnbod (talk) 15:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
