:* Propose merging :Category:Middle Schools in Guangzhou to :Category:Junior secondary schools in China and :Category:Schools in Guangzhou

:Nominator's rationale: {{c|Middle schools in China}} redirects to junior secondary schools in China. {{c|Senior secondary schools in China}} are sub-catted by province, and a few cities have sub-cats, but for junior schools there are only 28 articles nationwide and no other sub-cats by location. – Fayenatic London 09:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

• Note: Only one article says it is also a senior school, so I have added that one to the third parent {{c|High schools in Guangdong}}. – Fayenatic London 09:48, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
• Merge, following the redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|7th-century Romans}}

:Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory, and ancient Rome no longer existed. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

• Merge to :Category:7th-century Byzantine people. – Fayenatic London 09:46, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:* {{ping|Fayenatic london}} the single subcategory here does not belong under Byzantine people. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

::Merging to "Byzantine people" doesn't make sense, because the only subcategory consists of Gallo-Romans, who weren't Byzantines. There were still Romans, of course, but ATM none are in the category. If it's deleted now, it can still be re-created if and when there are some other contents. P Aculeius (talk) 13:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Fair enough. Just delete, then. For info, I have added a link for Byzantines as a succeeding category from {{c|7th-century Romans}}. – Fayenatic London 14:42, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming {{lc|Category:NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award winners}} to :Category:NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year winners

:Nominator's rationale: "Award" is not considered apart of their proper name as these are not limited to a specific publication and should be omitted. This follows a series of recent template and page moves. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:First women presidents in Oceania to :Category:First women presidents

:Nominator's rationale: Merge for the time being as category is underpopulated. Can be recreated when there are more articles related to this category.
