:* Propose merging :Category:Ambassadors of Canada to Turkmenistan to :Category:Ambassadors of Canada

:The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per author request. ✗plicit 00:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Sonic the Hedgehog (film series) characters}}

:Nominator's rationale: Category currently only contains either redirects or characters that are not specifically from the film series, creating an WP:OVERLAPCAT with :Category:Sonic the Hedgehog characters. (Oinkers42) (talk) 21:59, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

::Comment I've G7'd the category. It probably is too much of an overlap in hindsight, and would likely only be worth recreating if in the future enough coverage about the film characters exists to warrant it. silviaASH (inquire within) 22:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Churches by country and populated place to :Category:Church buildings by country and populated place

:Nominator's rationale: They are the same. BigBullfrog (talk) 20:49, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

• Reverse merge for consistency with :Category:Churches by location. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:54, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
• Merge or reverse merge per nom. I have re-tagged the target (it had a CFDS tag instead of a CfD tag). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:42, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
• Comment The nominator emptied :Category:Churches by country and populated place. And there is a difference between "churches" and "church buildings". I'm sure there have been lots of discussions at CFD about this difference. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
• :Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_1#Churches/Church_buildings seems to be when the last major discussion on this happened. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:37, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
• ::Okay, "lots" may have been an exaggeration but I remember it being argued about at CFD. It probably involved editors who are no longer active here. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:34, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
