• Propose deleting Category:Final musical releases (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• Propose deleting Category:Final studio albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Previously discussed many years ago at this CfD. Although consensus can change, I believe the rationale to delete from the original discussion remains valid. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 22:10, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please specify your rationale Chchcheckit (talk) 22:45, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• "This is categorisation by a trivial characteristic."
• "Many of these recordings will have been made without the knowledge that they would be the last one."
• "I could see the posthumous albums making their way in."
• "Death [of an artist] clearly indicates nothing."
• And specifically to the broadness of the final musical releases category, no one can ever know what a final release is much less it being a defining aspect of the album. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Front de libération du Québec members. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Chénier Cell members to Category:Front de libération du Québec members

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This cell of the FLQ is long gone and by definition will never have many more notable members than it currently does (4). User:Namiba 17:30, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Palatinate of Lotharingia

Nominator's rationale: merge delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. There isn't even a main article. Merging is not needed, the subcategory is already part of Category:Lotharingian people. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:56, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Probably merge -- I think this is the right solution, but it will be necessary to consider how to prevent this merger upsetting the structure of the parents. Would a reverse merge of Category:Lotharingia be better? Peterkingiron (talk) 16:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• No it wouldn't, Category:Lotharingia primarily contains the kingdom of Lotharingia. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:24, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Easter traditions by country to Category:Easter traditions

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with a single subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. More sibling subcategories can and likely will be created in the future. We often start with one. The parent category has 60+ entries, it's easy to see that several other countries can have similar categories. Category:Christmas traditions by country is a good example of where this can end up in a little while. If you ask nicely instead of trying to take us a step back, I can help create and sort some entries. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:11, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Categorization by country is a common way to do things, and I think it can be informative in this case, too. The fact that there is only one entry seems simply due to the fact that noone has started it earlier. Looking at Category:Easter traditions, there are a number of them where categories for other countries would make sense. In fact I have just created one for Germany, as there was already a tradition there. Daranios (talk) 08:44, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Please do not create a category for a single article. There should be at least a handful. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• @Marcocapelle: Thanks, good point. But together we have found now four entries. And I think this category does have potential for expansion (with WP:SMALL being the only guideline I have seen so far which councils against the creation of categories with very few members), as e.g. Easter bread, Easter fire, Easter egg and Egg hunt all have sections referring the respective versions of the traditions in Germany, and de:Kategorie:Brauchtum (Ostern) has a number of entries specific to Germany which do not yet have an English translation. Daranios (talk) 10:26, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge - there are not enough articles for a 'by country' scheme. Easter egg should certainly not be put in any country categories. Oculi (talk) 13:08, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Given CfDs massive backlog, the time this discussion will be open is sufficient for any creation of new categories to take place. If no more such categories are created by the time this discussion is closed, then it should be merged. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  There was enough content to create categories for Italy and Greece... so now we have more categories :P _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:40, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• No there is not, they only contain 2 articles. Revert creation of these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Piotrus? ― Qwerfjkltalk 13:53, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I expect each has potential for growth. I'll ping WikiProjects Greece and Italy. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:31, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – those new sub-cats were easily expanded to 6 and 8. I did not spot much scope to create useful sub-cats for other countries, but Italy and Greece were well-chosen. – Fayenatic London 09:14, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: reverse merge; I will implement this by renaming & redirecting Category:Mass hysteria over the new Category:Mass psychogenic illness. – Fayenatic London 14:22, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Mass psychogenic illness to Category:Mass hysteria

Nominator's rationale: merge (or reverse merge), the two topics are mostly overlapping. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:56, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: suggest keeping Category:Mass psychogenic illness as the surviving category, as mass psychogenic illness is the primary article. "Mass psychogenic illness" appears to be the more modern term and avoids some of the problematic history of "mass hysteria" or "hysteria" in general.49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 06:02, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Bell towers in France to Category:Bell towers and Category:Towers in France

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. The list contains a few links to French city halls, but there aren't any stand alone articles about bell towers. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:07, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:C2C applies; compare Category:Anime and manga about parallel universes‎, Category:Comics about parallel universes‎, Category:Fictional characters from parallel universes‎, Category:Films about parallel universes‎, Category:Novels about parallel universes‎, and Category:Short stories about parallel universes‎ in the Category:Parallel universes in fiction category tree. (non-admin closure) 🐶 EpicPupper ^{(he/him | talk)} 18:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Video games featuring parallel universes to Category:Video games about parallel universes

Nominator's rationale: This is the only category of this type that uses "featuring" rather than "about". It should not contain games where parallel universes are not an integral aspect of the gameplay or plot. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:56, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Crowd crushes in Africa to Category:Crowd collapses and crushes
• Propose merging Category:Crowd crushes in North America to Category:Crowd collapses and crushes

• Propose merging Category:Semantics (linguistics) to Category:Semantics

Nominator's rationale: Same topic, there's no need to have two categories. The computer science subfield is already differentiated at Category:Programming language semantics and Category:Semantics is full of natural language pages. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 13:15, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
