:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Kiev-class aircraft carriers and :Category:Aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:20, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Kiev-class aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy}}

:Nominator's rationale: Category remains small for a long time. It has only 1 page. Wareon (talk) 21:31, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Keep. Small, yes, but part of multiple established category trees. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Support in principle, but merge to :Category:Kiev-class aircraft carriers and :Category:Aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy. It may be part of established trees but the article is better off in the root of those trees so that navigation to related articles becomes easier. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:41, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Upmerge to :Category:Kiev-class aircraft carriers and :Category:Aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy per Marcocapelle. NLeeuw (talk) 22:52, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge :Category:Lists of festivals by city to :Category:Lists by city; keep :Category:Lists of festivals by continent and city. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:14, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Lists of festivals by continent and city to :Category:Lists of festivals by city

:Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer, this is the only subcategory of the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

• But this also functions as a subcat of :Category:Lists of festivals by continent and :Category:Festivals by continent and city. Maybe upmerge the target instead? – Fayenatic London 11:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

:* I am ok with that as well and tagged the target too. We still need to figure out the targets for that one. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:18, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

::* Apparently :Category:Lists by city is the only parent category that :Category:Lists of festivals by city needs to be merged to - if at all. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:18, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

• OK then, alt merge :Category:Lists of festivals by city to :Category:Lists by city if anything. (Only fr wikipedia also has this layer,[https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25038931] containing only two pages, of which the corresponding List of events in Quebec City in enwiki was missing from {{c|Lists of festivals in Canada by populated place}} – now added.) – Fayenatic London 13:10, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

:

• It is sufficient to merge one of the two and I am totally fine with FL's alternative. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:35, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Also propose merging- :Category:Volleyball players from Matsumoto, Nagano to :Category:Sportspeople from Matsumoto, Nagano and :Category:Volleyball players from Nagano Prefecture

:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:LGBTQ people in law enforcement. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:05, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:LGBTQ law enforcement workers to :Category:LGBTQ people in law enforcemen

:Nominator's rationale: I think we should rename this to match the parent. ^SMason_Garrison 14:22, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Comment, this is close to a trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:22, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Comment {{xt|enforcement}} with a T at the end. Speedy rename per WP:C2C. NLeeuw (talk) 22:59, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Majestic-class aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy}}

:Nominator's rationale: Category remains small for a long time. It has only 1 page. Wareon (talk) 12:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Merge to parent categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:24, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Keep. While small, this is part of multiple established category trees. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:53, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

:* It may be part of established trees but the article is better off in the root of those trees so that navigation to related articles becomes easier. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:40, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:*:{{!xt|It is part of a tree}} is never a valid argument against deletion of a category with only 1 item in it. I could create a category that sits in 32 trees, but if it contains only 1 article and the intersection is trivial, then I can argue that my category {{!xt|is part of 32 trees}} until the cows come home, but it will be deleted (and rightly so). NLeeuw (talk) 23:06, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Sports competitions at Olympia (Helsingborg) to :Category:Sports competitions in Helsingborg

:Nominator's rationale: An arena that has hosted specific sports events or concerts, to be avoided for categorisation according to WP:OCVENUE. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 08:55, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:19, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:15th-century Spanish naval officers to :Category:15th-century Spanish military personnel

:Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category ^SMason_Garrison 04:39, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Just delete, the only article is about a poet and Spain did not exist yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:32, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• :{{yo|Smasongarrison}} Thoughts? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:11, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::I'm fine with delete based on them being a poet. FWIW spain's a useful parent category for all the different kingdoms. ^SMason_Garrison 02:46, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: manual merge to :Category:White nationalist terrorism. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:06, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Attacks motivated by the white genocide conspiracy theory}}

:Nominator's rationale: I do not think it is defining and as I see some entries are not substantiated by article text; I guess, wikipedians' opinions. I never heard (of many things I never heard of :) about verdicts of this type, so I guiess it is a subjective classification, even if by experts. --Altenmann >talk 02:52, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

• Manually merge to parent :Category:White nationalist terrorism. Some articles will fit in the broader parent category, while motivation by the white genocide conspiracy theory is too specific. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:21, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
• Manually merge to parent :Category:White nationalist terrorism per Marcocapelle. NLeeuw (talk) 12:47, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Thorough discussion; unlikely a WP:RELIST will help. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:21, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Women sentenced to life imprisonment to :Category:Female prisoners and detainees

:Nominator's rationale: I'm not convinced that we need to diffuse criminal sentence by gender. I'd love other people's thoughts on this. ^SMason_Garrison 02:43, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

::Keep because I do think there's a noteworthy distinction, similar to :Category:Women sentenced to death and :Category:Executed women. AHI-3000 (talk) 16:50, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Just because it's noteworthy, doesn't meet it meets the bar of EGRS. ^SMason_Garrison 23:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

• Manually merge per WP:OCEGRS, but also to :Category:Prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:24, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Per long-standing consensus as noted at :Category:Musicians by band, band member categories are not needed when only one member has an article. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:58, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Also nominating the following categories for the same reason:

• :Category:Onewe members
