:* Propose merging :Category:19th-century musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Musicians from New Orleans

:* Propose merging :Category:20th-century musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Musicians from New Orleans

:* Propose merging :Category:21st-century musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Musicians from New Orleans

:* Propose merging :Category:20th-century Jazz musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Jazz musicians from New Orleans

:* Propose merging :Category:21st-century Jazz musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Jazz musicians from New Orleans

:* Propose merging :Category:19th-century Jazz musicians from New Orleans to :Category:Jazz musicians from New Orleans

:Nominator's rationale: There's no need to diffuse by century for modern professions (Jazz musicians). Plus there's no need to diffuse people within a city by century and occupation. I've already removed people who weren't defined by the 19th-century (many were born in the 1890s) ^SMason_Garrison 23:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

• Merge per precedent, other cities do not have this either. But merging to :Category:Musicians from New Orleans has to take place manually because articles may already be in e.g. :Category:Rhythm and blues musicians from New Orleans. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:09, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: upmerge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:36, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging {{lc|Category:F3 tornadoes by date}}

:* Propose merging {{lc|Category:F3 tornadoes by location}}

:* Propose merging {{lc|Category:F4 tornadoes by date}}

:* Propose merging {{lc|Category:F4 tornadoes by location}}

:Nominator's rationale: I don't see why these are subcategories, in my mind F3 tornadoes by location (for example) should only include subcategories like "F3 tornadoes in Oklahoma", none of which exist. The same goes for by date. I feel like all the articles in these categories should just be in their respective parent category unless it's deemed necessary to create additional categories such as "F4 tornadoes in Texas". harrz ^talk 22:00, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

• Upmerge, in scope these categories are merely duplicates of their parent. They are just sorted differently. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:2010s Kazakh-language films to :Category:Kazakh-language films

:Nominator's rationale: Category of unclear necessity, newly created for just one film. Unlike the by-country sibling listed below, the Kazakh vs. Kazakstani thing isn't the issue here, as Kazakh is the correct label for the language -- which is why I'm listing this one separately even though they were both created for the same film. But there are only 35 articles in {{cl|Kazakh-language films}}, and less than 60 films total under the entire {{cl|Kazakhstani films}} tree (thus suggesting that there aren't very many Kazakh-language films still missing from this category), so it's not at all obvious that they would need to be subcategorized by decade of release at all.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|2010s Kazakh films}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|2010s in Kazakhstani cinema}}

:Nominator's rationale: Improperly named category of unclear necessity, newly created just for one film. With less than 60 films total under the entire {{cl|Kazakhstani films}} tree, it's not at all clear that they would need to be subcategorized by decade of release the way some (but not all) countries with a much larger number of films are -- but even if there were a valid reason to keep this, it would have to be renamed to {{cl|2010s Kazakhstani films}}, because we need to uphold the distinction between Kazakhstani nationals (who aren't necessarily all Kazakh by ethnicity) and ethnic Kazakhs (who don't necessarily all live in Kazakhstan), which is precisely why the parent category is "Kazakhstani films" rather than "Kazakh films".
So if people genuinely feel strongly that subcategorizing a grand total of just 55 films by decade is warranted, then I'm willing to abide by renaming this -- but I don't think it's warranted, which is why I'm listing this as a deletion nomination rather than a renaming nomination. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

• Comment the parent category is named :Category:DC Comics objects using "objects", and the contents are objects, not technology. (the Batphone is a red landline phone or a mobile phone, not a technology, the Batmobile is a car, not a a technology, etc) unlike Star Trek technology, where the warp drive is a technology. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 23:57, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: Manual merge. Thank you to all for keeping it civil even in the face of disagreement. There is unanimous consensus that the status quo is not an acceptable way to go about things, so the real question is what the best way forward is. An automatic merge was originally proposed, and straight-up deletion was also mentioned as an option. A plurality supported the goldilocks option –manual merging, so I find rough consensus to do that. There is also rough consensus against the creation of redirect-only categories to facilitate the manual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:45, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:: Do you want to nominate those as well (I believe those are all the subcats of :Category:Mayoral elections in the United States by city that have this exact issue)?

Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 21:05, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
• :Side note: This would analoguosly also work for each of the sibling categories I listed above: the eponymous article would be merged to the parents, but with :Category:Mayoral elections in the United States instead of the direct parent :Category:Mayoral elections in the United States by city; and the redirects, each of which is already in one of the "YYYY United States mayoral elections" and one of the "YYYY state elections" categories, would be merged to all parents except :Category:Mayoral elections in the United States by city.

Relisting comment: Expanding and refactoring nomination...

• As original nominator, support the additional categories nominated, but oppose merging to any red link :Category:Government of Fooville categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:04, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
• :Two categories will be renamed into those gaps. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
• Move redirects to a separate category per my comment here: {{tq|This category's redirects are categorized as per WP:SUBTOPICCAT, but they all point to the one article inside. So I'd say go with deleting this category and separating the redirects into a redirect category, similar to the endless categories for character/episode redirects and :Category:Unopposed ministerial by-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom (redirects)}}. Also, manual merging will just flood the categories with redundant redirects when dedicated redirect categories can take care of it. Please note that the comment below the linked one was a PERX that did not go in depth in rebutting my argument there and came in late meaning there was little time to rebut it before it was closed. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:30, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

:: Oh, and the new categories should be called "Category:[insert city here] mayoral election redirects". ミラP@Miraclepine 15:29, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

::The notion of the merge is to merge only the non-redirect article from each category so there's no flooding happening. Strong oppose creating redirect categories. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:02, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

:::{{re|Aidan721}} Yes, the (non-redirect) articles will still have the category upmerged and part of the tree. Can you please specify any issue with redirect categories being part of the tree? After all, the point of my idea is to make the redirect categorization more uniform with, for example, :Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe redirects to lists being part of the :Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe, since these IMO should be allowed per WP:SUBTOPICCAT and WP:INCOMPATIBLE. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:48, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

::::{{re|Aidan721}} any response? it's lio! | talk | work 12:01, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

::Delete - These categories only contain redirects (I assume all of them do, I tried to check most of them).

::Only the parent article needs to be in whatever the category's parent categories are. All the redirects just need to be {{tl2|R to section}} (which is perfectly fine, here) and don't need to be in any category. We do not need redirect categories, they serve no real useful purpose here. My proposal is just giving the parent article the category's categories and removing the categories from the redirects, then deleting the category. Chew^{(V • T • E)} 20:43, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:::{{tq|We do not need redirect categories, they serve no real useful purpose here.}} Doesn't WP:RCAT explain these useful purposes? ミラP@Miraclepine 00:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

::::The redirects don't need to be categorized, in my opinion. If they did, they would be categorized like this, but it should become a "Government election redirects", which I'm not proposing or supporting. I think R to section on these redirects are perfectly serviceable. Chew^{(V • T • E)} 00:29, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose creating redirect categories unless a clear maintenance process is established. Just categorizing for the sake of categorizing does not make sense. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:45, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
• :Agreed. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:16, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Women singers on Golha to :Category:Male singers on Golha

:* Propose renaming :Category:Male singers on Golha to :Category:Iranian radio singers

:Nominator's rationale: Merge and rename to Golha (radio programmes) singers or Iranian radio singers. There's no need to break down Radio singers by gender. ^SMason_Garrison 03:52, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

• {{ping|Smasongarrison}} then shouldn't :Category:Male singers on Golha be nominated for renaming? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:48, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
• :Good point! Sorry I forgot to do that. But I'm also fine with upmerging both to Iranian radio singers ^SMason_Garrison 17:31, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
• Delete both per WP:PERFCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
• :Well, I was going to write a paragraph about how Golha is different than simply radio singer then I saw Marcocapelle's reply and he is right, both should be deleted. Khenamothara (talk) 18:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
