:* Propose deleting {{lc|Church-Mosques}}
:Nominator's rationale: Category for just two things, on a characteristic that's already accounted for by other categories as it is. The two entries here are both buildings that started out as Christian churches but were later converted into Islamic mosques as their locations became Ottomanized -- but we already have {{cl|Mosques converted from churches}} to cover that fact off, and both of the articles in here are already in appropriate subcategories of that, so this isn't adding anything that other categories haven't already taken care of. If anything, it's really just a WP:SHAREDNAME category that's here solely because both articles have the "Church-Mosque" compound in their titles. Bearcat (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Mosques completed in 1803 to :Category:Mosques completed in the 1800s
:Nominator's rationale: Categories recently created for just one or two mosques each, in a tree without any other by-year siblings for their eras. These are two of the only three categories in {{cl|Mosques by year of completion}} that exist for any year prior to the 20th century, and the third has already been listed for a separate discussion below -- and in both cases, the decade target is not large enough to be comprehensively subbed out by individual year either (in the case of 1375, further, the two pages were both left duplicate categorized in the decade category alongside the year-specific category.)
As always, navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one or two things across the board -- the decade level is entirely sufficient here, and a year-specific level is not needed, if there are just one or two things per year and no other year in that decade or even century has a sibling category at all.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Mosques completed in 685}}
:Nominator's rationale: One-entry category, in a tree that doesn't otherwise have any sibling categories for any year earlier than 1375 -- and even the 1375 category is still an outlier of dubious necessity, since {{cl|Mosques by year of completion}} doesn't consistently have year-by-year subcategories for every year across the board until 1900. As always, navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories for just one thing -- we don't need this for just one mosque if it's almost 700 years removed from any of its siblings.

:Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's really not enough people in Fashion entrepreneurs (9 total) to justify diffusion by nationality. Also Entrepreneurs redirects to businesspeople, so I have doubts that the parent category should exist at all. SMasonGarrison 15:03, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: keep (withdrawn). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:09, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
:* Propose manually merging :Category:Patent legislation into :Category:Patent law by country and :Category:Patent law
:Nominator's rationales: (1) I got lost in the category trees before realizing they were not fully connected; I propose to make the smaller category into a redirect. (2) The relevant legislation is almost always national, so "by country" is the right concept. (3) In a few cases, e.g. Patent Act and international treaties, the concept is transnational, so an article can be classified in more generic categories such as :Category:Patent law. (4) "Legislation" would be a better title for legislative work in progress, but we have few if any articles about that; the articles are about completed Acts aka laws. I only need to do a dozen manual edits to get this done, I think. I wanted to check with experts here to see if there's any reason not to charge ahead with the task. -- econterms (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- It is not clear to me why a "law by country" tree and a "legislation" category cannot exist in parallel. Of course articles should also be in country categories if they exist, but that is not a reason to drop the "Legislation" category per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:08, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I will tag the category. Thoughts on Marcocapelle's comment?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for tagging it. That may bring in other insights.
::I thought about it and studied the cases again. It seems that :Category:Patent legislation is not adding any information to any actual article. The topic is more naturally called "Patent law", and all the relevant pages are classified in :Category:Patent law or (more often) its subcategories by country. So I still think the Patent legislation category should be turned into a redirect and not used any more.
::I do not mean to say that it is literally impossible or illogical for "legislation" and "law" categories both to exist. For copyrights, they do, and the talk page of the "legislation" category (Category_talk:Copyright_legislation) says "Copyright legislation includes both proposed and enacted legislation." Maybe it's relevant there, although I didn't find any examples of legislation proposed but not enacted for copyright either. -- econterms (talk) 06:47, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
::* {{ping|Econterms}} the articles in this category are about acts mainly. That is a distinct feature of this legislation category (and of other legislation categories too). In contrast, articles directly in :Category:Patent law are not about acts. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
:::* Okay, we can keep both. No consensus for change. Can close this proposal. -- econterms (talk) 16:37, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

::* That is not the point of the nomination. Categories exist for easy navigation between related articles and this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:15, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
::*:What is not the point of your nomination? How I missing it? You suggest deletion and my !vote is based on the fact that this a perfectly valid category, so I oppose its deletion. As for it being useful or not, I find it useful and it makes navigation between categories about fiction in various dynasties or other periods, easy; see :Category:History of Vietnam in fiction. The category being valid, I therefore find its deletion unnecessary. -Mushy Yank. 21:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with just two entries. Also merge to :Category:Historians by populated place Lost in Quebec (talk) 23:15, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. This is likely to be expanded further with more subcats.4meter4 (talk) 23:50, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment, this would be more useful as local historians by populated place. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

::Merge for now. @4meter4 is welcome to create additional subcats, but we depreciated small cat because potential for growth was too nebulous. I'm neutral on local historians, but that's because I wonder how messy it could get down the line when people are miscategorized. SMasonGarrison 00:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
