The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:41, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As category statute itself states, "Articles relating to Sovietisms, the neologisms and cliches in the Russian language of the epoch of the Soviet Union." But this is perfectly covered by Category:Soviet phraseology, for the first. For the second, someone included into it the categories Neo-Sovietism‎ (3 C, 32 P) Stalinism‎ (16 C, 112 P)
whicxh have nothing to do with " neologisms and cliches in the Russian language". - Altenmann >talk 22:36, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in New Caledonia

Nominator's rationale: Broaden this category to include 19th-century churches of all denominations. There are only two pages in here, and 4 total in the entire Roman Catholic churches in New Caledonia Mason (talk) 23:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both the rename and the merge proposal are keeping the content in the tree of the the dependent territory, so this is not a reason to oppose. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • In that case either keep as it is, or, less preferably, keep a big tent category for Roman Catholic churches of all collectivités d'outre-mer along with the sole pays d'outre-mer and the collectivité sui generis. 61.244.93.97 (talk) 09:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I countered your argument in my previous reply. Then it does not make sense to repeat your "keep" without any new argument. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:57, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Marcocapelle you didn't have a single word on the big-tent proposal on a category for all collectivités d'outre-mer, the pays d'outre-mer and the collectivité sui generis. What's your take? (...are keeping the content in the tree of the the dependent territory... And no I don't mean generally the tree under Category:Dependent territories but Category:19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings by dependent territory specifically.) 61.244.93.97 (talk) 08:11, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename, these are Lebanese mafia gangs. Arab is inaccurate, since many Lebanese people do not identify as Arab. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, because I think this category should be kept so that Category:Arab gangs can be merged into it. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • support that the name is bad, but caveat: it should not only be renamed, but recategorized as well, because "Gangs" and "mafia" are different category trees. - Altenmann >talk 22:44, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fighter aircraft operators. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not sure whether this is an appropriate category, but if so it should align with Category:Fighter aircraft. – Fayenatic London 11:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it's okay to standardize this on "aircraft" instead of "jets". I'm unaware of any companies that currently operate fighters with propellers at a similar scale. Edward Sandstig (talk) 12:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful category, as it contains only one article. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:41, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It contains two pages now. If not kept, it should be merged to the relevant parent categories, rather than deleted. Mason (talk) 21:10, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. If OP wishes to pursue this nomination further, they are welcome to renominate while tagging all of the categories (User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massCFD can help with that) and presenting a substantive reason for deletion. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Created by a user who was indefinitely blocked for disruptive behavior. Векочел (talk) 16:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural close. The nominator makes no valid argument for deletion. The editor in question was not evading a ban at the time their account was created; the fact that they were deemed disruptive seven months after they created the category is wholly irrelevant. ——Serial Number 54129 17:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/Comment. most of these nominations are not tagged. Further, I don't think this is a good reason to nominate a category. These categories seem defining to me as many first female FOO are described as such in the lead. If not kept, the categories should be merged to the relevant women/female occupation categories.

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, Ajmer State only existed for six years, so there is no need for diffusion by century or decade. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:11, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Wikipedia categories named after districts of India and make hidden. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, "by name" is not diffusing anything. In theory the category should be merged to Category:Districts of India but the content is already in that target's subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, it is not clear to me what purpose this has, but let's then just apply this existing convention. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:22, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:German pies

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no concept of "pie" in Germany other than as something imported from Britain or the US, compare de:Pie. Calling these particular German Kuchen "pies" is WP:SYNTH original research. See discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Germany#Zwetschgenkuchen. —Kusma (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a corresponding template, compare Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_13#Template:German_pies. —Kusma (talk) 13:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the three articles are already in Category:German cakes which is a better place for them. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; agree with Kusma that the concept of pie (as a separate category of food from cake) seems to have no meaning in German cuisine. Valereee (talk) 14:43, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, Marco and Valereee. NLeeuw (talk) 03:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agreed, there is no such thing as pies in German cuisine, and all three of the entries listed here are cakes, not pies. Ejgreen77 (talk) 20:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge for now, currently just one article in the category, without objection to recreate the category when some more articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dual upmerge for now without prejudice per nom. NLeeuw (talk) 03:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1940s jazz album stubs

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Merge the categories but Keep the templates. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The templates, {{1940s-jazz-album-stub}} and {{2020s-jazz-album-stub}}, were created a year ago without being proposed at WP:WSS/P. With very few articles to populate the categories, I notified the creator and upmerged the templates, negating the need for these two categories. The categories were recently recreated (without any proposal) but still only contain 2 and 5 articles. The templates should either be upmerged again or outright deleted due to the low number of candidates, but there is no need yet for the categories.

Category:Battles involving Bengal

Nominator's rationale: merge, battles are diffused by (former) countries and Bengal was not a country. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok that is a reasonable alternative, but then still the content should be added to Category:Battles involving the Indian kingdoms too. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:29, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Marcocapelle: it should only be a selective merge to that parent, because many of the articles are already in other subcats of that one, and I'm not sure whether the others belong there. I suggest you watch the category and merge any valid missing items yourself if the rename goes through. – Fayenatic London 15:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Do we really need such a deep category tree for a single alumnus? Neither of the institutions have wikipedia pages Don State Agrarian University, Warsaw Veterinary Institute. Mason (talk) 04:27, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories only have the eponymous article in it and the logo of the college. In theory, upmerge for now, but in reality, delete because the page is already categorized. Mason (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
