  • Propose deleting Category:People from North Rhine-Westphalia executed at Plötzensee Prison (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. TM 21:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to all being nominated.--TM 17:06, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I wouldn't be offended if someone did nominate them, if that's what you're asking for. But I do not agree that it wasn't an overly large category. --Nlu (talk) 22:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge to Category:Executions at Plötzensee Prison. This division into places that did not even exist yet when the executions were carried out was a step too far.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge this and all other "People from FOO executed at Plötzensee Prison" categories. Paging through them, most of the subcategories have one to ten people in them. Deleting the various subcategories will probably bring the category to around 200 or fewer articles, which isn't too many. However, if it is felt that they need to be diffused because it's too large, then I would respectfully submit that execution by (a) crime, (b) era, or in this case, (c) political regime, makes more sense than execution by place of origin of the executed. This particular prison was notorious during the Nazi era, so if there is any subdivision, I would make a "People executed at Plötzensee Prison during the Nazi regime" subcategory, which would fit into an existing Nazi-execution category tree. --Lquilter (talk) 16:16, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Conspiracy theories in the United States. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Should be either renamed "Conspiracy theories in the United States" per WP:NOTNEO (note that Wikipedia has no article on "Conspiracism" -- it's a redirect to "Conspiracy theory"), or deleted as a magnet for POV pushing. I'm of the view that "less is more" with regard to categories. Joe Bodacious (talk) 20:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How do I do that? Joe Bodacious (talk) 16:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The nomination steps are here. You basically did the last part and skipped all of the steps before that. You need to add the the filled out {{cfd}} or {{cfr}} to the category based on which you think is better. Since you are not sure what the outcome should be, either would be OK based on the wording in your nomination.
Should be OK now. I hope. Joe Bodacious (talk) 20:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
