:* Propose splitting :Category:Female models from Erie, Pennsylvania to :Category:Female models from Pennsylvania and :Category:People from Erie, Pennsylvania

:* Propose Renaming :Category:American rums to :Category:Rum produced in the United States

::* Propose Manually Purging Non-US subcategories

:* Tagged :Category:Australian rums

:* Tagged :Category:Jamaican rum

:* Tagged :Category:Puerto Rican rums

:* Tagged :Category:Venezuelan rum

:Nominator's rationale: WP:CATNAME

:Based on the parent categories, this is intended for rums from the U.S.A. but the name is ambiguous enought that it's also being used for the whole Western Hemisphere. The naming formats under :Category:Rum by country are about evenly split so this didn't qualify for a speedy rename. (No objection if someone wants to also create a better named rum subcat of :Category:Americas, but I'm not proposing such a split.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

::comment the other *an rums subcategories in :Category:Rum by country should also be renamed at this time to achieve complete consistency. Hmains (talk) 18:17, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

:::Those categories are now tagged so they can be considered as part of this nomination. RevelationDirect (talk) 19:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

::Rename all per nom. It seems that there is an ambiguity, and the other subcategories with the "Rum produced in X" convention are in the majority. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:54, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Buynaksk}}

:Nominator's rationale: This category only has the eponymous city and a page History of the Jews in Buynaksk. There's no need to have a category with only two pages that are already interlinked like this. Mason (talk) 17:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

::Keep: This category exists in four other languages. I think over time this category in the English version will grow. There will be more than two pages.

:* Propose renaming :Category:Caucasian Studies of the Russian Empire to :Category:Caucasologists from the Russian Empire

:Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what to make of this category. It seems to be Ethnographers from the Russian Empire who study "Caucasian Studies". I don't know if this is really a defining category, but if it is then it should be renamed to Caucasologists from the Russian Empire. Mason (talk) 17:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

::Rename. I agree with you. It is a great idea. Go ahead!

::Boxes12 (talk) 22:53, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Palestine ethnographers to :Category:Ethnographers of Palestine (region)

:Nominator's rationale: This should make it a little clearer that these are ethnographers of a specific subject/region rather than nationality Mason (talk) 17:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Real tennis competition navigational boxes to :Category:Real tennis navigational boxes

:Nominator's rationale: Very small category, so it makes sense to use a more general category with more room for growth. The alternative is to create :Category:Real tennis navigational boxes and place :Category:Real tennis competition navigational boxes in it. I don't think that option is very helpful.

:* Propose merging :Category:Centibillionaires to :Category:Billionaires

:Nominator's rationale: I don't think this is defining. These folks are regularly described as billionaires, not Centibillionaires. I'd love to be wrong, but this feels more like an interesting fact, rather than a defining feature. Mason (talk) 16:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

• Just delete, the articles are already in the tree of :Category:Billionaires by nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete The distinction is not that meaningful (and, more to the point, not that often used): a billionaire already has more money than they are likely to ever spend. Pichpich (talk) 21:14, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Category with just two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 16:58, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
