:* Propose merging :Category:British Virgin Islands obstetricians to :Category:Obstetricians

:Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with :Category:British Virgin Islands physicians.

Also nominating for merge:

• :Category:Chadian obstetricians to :Category:Obstetricians and :Category:Chadian physicians
• :Category:Chilean obstetricians to :Category:Obstetricians and :Category:Chilean physicians
• :Category:Jordanian obstetricians to :Category:Obstetricians and :Category:Jordanian physicians

:* Propose renaming :Category:Television series about fictional serial killers to :Category:Television series about serial killers

:* Propose renaming :Category:Television series about serial killers to :Category:Television series about real serial killers

:Nominator's rationale: The television series contained within :Category:Television series about fictional serial killers outnumber the series contained in the main Television series about serial killers category, evidencing that there are more television series about fictional serial killers than real ones. The shows in question are not defined by being about fictional serial killers. It would be more helpful, per WP:NONDEFINING, to diffuse the category in the inverse direction. As such I propose that the articles contained in :Category:Television series about serial killers be recategorized to :Category:Television series about real serial killers, while :Category:Television series about fictional serial killers should be moved to :Category:Television series about serial killers, and then :Category:Television series about real serial killers should be made a subcategory of :Category:Television series about serial killers.

:Additionally, this would be consistent with the convention used within :Category:Serial killer films, which has :Category:Films about real serial killers as a subcategory.

:See also the related nomination for :Category:Works about fictional serial killers. silviaASH (inquire within) 21:18, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Hollywood Studio Symphony}}

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous category with only one subcategory with actual content. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 04:08, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::Support per nomination. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:00, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:

:* Propose renaming {{lc|Category:Turkmenistan football biography stubs}} to :Category:Turkmenistani football biography stubs

:* Propose renaming {{lc|Category:Turkmenistan sportspeople stubs}} to :Category:Turkmenistani sportspeople stubs

:Nominator's rationale: Should be renamed to better match the demonym (see {{c|Asian sportspeople stubs}} for example) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 03:47, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::Support might also be worth looking at :Category:Turkmenistan people stubs and :Category:Turkmenistan people Waacstats (talk) 07:19, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Yes. Every subcategory in the categories you mentioned should also be changed - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 15:24, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

• Support but only as part of a wider nomination. For the record, "Turkmenistan people" was chosen at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_April_17#Category:Turkmen_people to disamiguate from ethnic Turkmen people. "Turkmenistani" was not suggested at that time, and indeed was not used in the main article until 2018.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Turkmenistan&diff=prev&oldid=835753214] – Fayenatic London 15:34, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Belgian Baroque composers to :Category:Flemish Baroque composers

:Nominator's rationale: merge, Belgium did not exist at the time and, while the target is not entirely accurate either, there is certainly no reason to have two parallel categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Leaders of People's National Congress (Maldives) to :Category:Leaders of the People's National Congress (Maldives)

:* Propose merging :Category:Boroughs of Sweden to :Category:City districts in Sweden

:* Propose renaming :Category:Boroughs of Stockholm to :Category:Boroughs of Stockholm Municipality

:* Propose renaming :Category:Former boroughs of Stockholm to :Category:Former boroughs of Stockholm Municipality

:* Propose renaming :Category:Districts of Stockholm to :Category:City districts of Stockholm Municipality

:* Propose splitting :Category:Districts in Västerort to :Category:City districts in Bromma and :Category:City districts in Hässelby-Vällingby

:Nominator's rationale: To make it clear that these subdivisions are the administrative subdivisions of the municipality entities. These are all different administrative but not legally separate divisions, therefore merge :Category:Boroughs of Sweden and :Category:City districts in Sweden. The case of Landskrona does not match the municipal districts presented on the municipality website and they are only two in the category. Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby are two current boroughs compared to Västerort. Since 2016, what was församlingar (parishes) are now distrikt (registration districts), so therefore it would be useful to add city to the Stockholm categories, as there also are some 20–30 registration districts in Stockholm.

:* Propose renaming :Category:Pages using an unknown contentious topics code to :Category:Wikipedia pages about contentious topics without a code

:Nominator's rationale: More accurately describe what belongs in this category, and to avoid confusion with :Category:Wikipedia pages with an invalid contentious topic code. Adding the Wikipedia prefix per everything else in Template:Contentious topics/Category database.json. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Pages using an unknown contentious topic code to :Category:Pages using an unknown contentious topics code

:Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories. If the merge goes ahead, I'd be happy to file the appropriate paperwork :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• Support. I see that the merge target is older and has a name that better matches the template name. I have already adjusted the templates' code to use the new category name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:28, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Abandonware websites to :Category:Video game websites

:Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. Home of the Underdogs is indisputably notable, but Abandonia probably isn't. Either way, the category is overly narrow and unnecessary. (Note: It should probably be dual merged to :Category:Warez as well). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose except for the last one. The first four categories contain 50+ articles. Note that 60 is a requirement to start a stub category, it is not a requirement for a stub category to exist. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:57, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. A combined category would have over 250 articles. With time one would expect (hope?) the number of stub articles to come down.

:* Propose Manually Merging :Category:Medal of Honor Awardees from Minnesota to :Category:Recipients of the Medal of Honor

:Nominator's rationale: WP:OCLOCATION and, potentially, WP:OVERLAPCAT

:The Medal of Honor is defining and the category is large, so there's no WP:OCAWARD or WP:NARROWCAT issue. The problem is that American service members tend to move around a lot during their careers so that they're associated with multiple states, none of which are defining to the award. Here are the first three articles alphabetically:

:# George E. Albee: from New Hampshire, served out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, retired in Maryland

:# James Allen (Medal of Honor): from Ireland, served out of New York, retired in Minnesota

:# Jesse T. Barrick: from Ohio, grew up and served out of Minnesota, retired in Washington state

• :Hmm, that one appears to be for an ethnicity rather than a location. (Still a lot of room for overlap with multiple ethnicities though.) RevelationDirect (talk) 23:45, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• From the Category creator- How about I change it to a category "Recipients of the Medal of Honor by state" as other examples shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Recipients_of_the_Medal_of_Honor. Each medal is "ACCREDITED TO" only one location per example https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/andrew-j-kelley. So no issues with WP:OVERLAPCAT. The accredited location has relevant bearing for each medal so no issues with WP:OCLOCATION. talk — Preceding undated comment added 04:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
• :Going by the official accredited listing would indeed address my concern with multiple states claiming these heroes.{{pb}}I'm less sure about how defining that would be though. With your example, Andrew J. Kelley, we have someone from Indiana, who enlisted in Michigan, won the medal for bravery show in Tennessee, who retired in Minnesota. Michigan is officially attributed for the award but, if I had to pick, I'd say Tennessee is most relevant. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose Deleting :Category:Clio Awards

::* Propose Deleting :Category:Clio Award winners

:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCASSOC, WP:OCAWARD and, for the parent category, WP:NARROWCAT

:The Clio Awards are an advertising industry award and might be defining for articles actually about specific TV commercials or other advertising campaigns. The problem is that this category is a jumble of different types of articles with varying associations to the topic including major companies that sponsor commercials (Volkswagen & Quaker Oats Company), a product that the commercials advertise (Alka-Seltzer), various people in a variety of professions involved with creating commercials (director Meiert Avis, voice over artist Alan Bleviss, actress Rosemary Rice, graphic designer Georg Olden, agency executive Stan Freberg), advertising agencies (FCB, McCann), and just three actual commercials (Little Mikey, Aaron Burr advertisment, Cat Herders). No objection to recreating a more narrow category for that last group after a clear list is created in the main article.

:Without the subcategory, the parent will only have 2 articles with little growth potential. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. It's a notable award, and readers are likely to want to find winners through category navigation. I see no problem with the current structure.4meter4 (talk) 02:59, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• :The issue isn't the award but who counts as a winner beyond the commercial itself. The main article unfortunately doesn't list winners, but it looks like a [https://clios.com/winners-gallery/explore?vertical=Clio+Awards&season=2025 the whole team goes] to accept a single award on behalf of the winning commercial.

• Propose deletion {{lc|Rugby union players from Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire}}

:As per WP:SMALLCAT. Fairly small town and not much rugby played there. We can't create a sub-category for every intersection between a town and a sport. PatGallacher (talk)

• Dual Merge Conceptually support but we should upmerge that 1 article to :Category:Rugby union players from West Dunbartonshire and :Category:Sportspeople from Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:33, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• Dual merge per above. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:04, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
• I concur with upmerging. While we are at it, I suggest we also include {{lc|Rugby union players from Dumbarton}}, neighbouring town, not very large and not a traditionally rugby-playing area. PatGallacher (talk) 11:29, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Cui Jian}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON. Minimal content to have an eponymous category; subcats sufficiently link to and from one another. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:15, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

• Delete, the albums and songs subcategories already link to each other directly. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:05, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
