Category:Local political office-holders in Japan by prefecture

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: partial merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Partial merge, just add Mayors of places in Japan by prefecture to that parent, then delete. This is an unnecessary layer that adds nothing helpful for navigation. It was created by a user who is now blocked. – Fayenatic London 20:48, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Former populated places in Ukraine by region‎

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/delete per nomination. – Fayenatic London 11:06, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete/merge per WP:SMALLCAT, too few former populated places at oblast or raion level. A merge is seldom needed because most articles are already in some other subcategory of Category:Former populated places in Ukraine. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:48, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Submerged settlements in Ukraine

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge, only three articles, and no other country has a subcategory within Category:Submerged places. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no race to be "first". If you can defend the US having a subcategory, then any other country can automatically have a subcategory too the moment somebody deigns to create one. If any exist at all, then all are fair game, and there's no "the US must be first" rule. Bearcat (talk) 13:12, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. There are more than enough articles about US settlements in the parent category to justify a subcategory for the US the moment anybody deigns to take on the job of creating one, and a category for the Netherlands would also be entirely possible to construct from List of settlements lost to floods in the Netherlands even though not everything in that list has actually been added to this category at all — and even so, it's already not at all true that there are no other subcategories by country: while it isn't named "Submerged settlements in Canada", the subcategory for Category:The Lost Villages is a Canadian-exclusive category that could potentially be renamed to Category:Submerged settlements in Canada (or alternatively kept as a subcategory of one if it's possible to identify other submerged settlements outside of Stormont County). And for added bonus, scratch what I said about "the moment anybody deigns to take on the job" of creating a US subcategory, because I just did the deed.

  • It is nice to have a discussion about other countries but the nomination was just about Ukraine. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And your "argument", such as it was, was precisely that no other by-country subcategories existed yet — and therefore the potential or actual existence of other by-country subcategories is 100 per cent germane to the discussion. How else is anybody supposed to discuss the nomination at all if we're not allowed to address the substance of what you said? Bearcat (talk) 13:08, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, original New Thought terms (if there are any) can better be put in Category:New Thought beliefs. This list mostly contains general spiritual and esotheric terms. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:33, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: New Thought is itself a movement, so this child category is redundant, and makes it harder to find sub-categories. Storchy (talk) 08:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
