Nominator's rationale: Newly created category; there is no real-life legal area called "Laundry law"; this is just used to tag a bunch of cases where one of the parties happened to be a laundry, and there's no connection other than that tenuous one. For example Muller v. Oregon is a wage-and-hours labor case; Barbier v. Connolly is about state police powers and the Fourteenth Amendment; Kimball Laundry Co. v. United States is about the eminent domain and the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment; etc. TJRC (talk) 23:29, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Non-compliance with all other English clubs. I would move everything to the Arsenal FC category and limit the matches to the Category:English football club matches where all other clubs have their matches. Wanderin' Wolf (talk) 20:57, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Greek gods in fiction to Category:Greek and Roman gods in fiction
Nominator's rationale: This category's contents is an amalgum of both Greek gods and Roman gods in fiction (Neptune, Hercules, etc. along with Poseidon and Heracles). It doesn't make sense to parse them out since there is a huge overlap between them and would invite category clutter in the categorized articles, hence my proposal is keep the category as is but re-title it to more accurately reflect its contents. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:05, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @SMcCandlish: Then why not keep this category and create Category:Roman gods in fiction next to it? I don't have a clear opinion myself, just trying to understand the purpose of first merging and then splitting. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't much care, when it comes to the actual mechanics. The current content sorted (not just in this category) is a commingled mess, so it needs to get sorted out into Greek and Roman. If someone wants to do that, and create the corresponding Greek and Roman separate categories into which to sort, then great. I have a suspicion that what's more likely to happen is everyone will groan and not want to do it, so we'll end up merging to have one mess to clean up instead of two, and then sometime between next month and 2037 someone will bother to actually sort them out separately by culture.  :-)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:25, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories, both should not exist at the same time. They are just creating confusion. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 16:41, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women mayors of places in British Columbia

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: relisted, see here (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Subcategorization by province of a category which does not meet the conditions required to qualify for an exemption from WP:OCLOCATION: the intersection of "women mayor" with individual province is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic in its own right, and the parent category isn't large enough to require diffusion as there are only 144 articles across this entire tree combined. Upmerging to "mayors of places in (Province)" not required, as all of the articles here were left in there alongside this if they weren't already subcatted by city in lieu. Bearcat (talk) 18:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
