• Propose deleting Category:Song recordings produced by Camila Cabello (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: Completely redundant category with one entry. Cabello is not known for producing and has only co-produced one song. Not likely to grow in the future either since she is not actively producing any of her more recent singles. NØ 14:52, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. gnu57 18:52, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. I'd go further, if a 'songs produced by' only contains song(s) where the singer and the producer's name are the same, then it's a redundant cat anyway. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:34, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge Category:Grand Crosses of Aeronautical Merit to Category:Crosses of Aeronautical Merit. MER-C 09:09, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Crosses of Aeronautical Merit to Category:Military awards and decorations of Spain

Nominator's rationale: merge, the subcategory appears to be sufficient, we do not need this extra category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• @Marcocapelle: Should we perhaps keep 'Crosses' and upmerge 'Grand Crosses' instead? According to the main article, the distinction is based solely on the recipient's military rank (or civilian equivalent). -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:37, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• That is also a good solution. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:40, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Order of the Star of Ghana (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the subcategory is sufficient. There is no need to merge, the article and subcategories are already in their appropriate targets. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:16, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. At this time, there is not enough content related to this topic to support an eponymous category. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:31, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Order of the Republic (Egypt) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  
• Propose deleting Category:Collars of the Order of the Republic (Egypt) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCAWARD and WP:NONDEF, apart from the eponymous article the categories only contain recipients, but the award is not defining for any of them. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Listify to Order of the Republic (Egypt)#Notable recipients. I agree with the nom's rationale; however, the main article lists only 3 recipients whereas each of the recipients' articles mention the order. If the category is kept, then rescope and rename to Category:Recipients of the Order of the Republic (Egypt) as there is not enough content to support an eponymous category. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:33, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Demons in Occultism (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete. Seems redundant, as the articles listed would be classed under and be synonymous with Category:Demonology which in turn should fall under Category:Occult. - Invokingvajras (talk) 21:56, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• If not kept, at least merge to Category:Demons. Note that a number of the articles are about relatively modern demons (described in Dictionnaire Infernal which dates from early 19th century), so they might instead be moved to subcategory Category:Goetic demons. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:00, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Category:Demons. I agree with User:Invokingvajras that this category makes a superficial distinction from its parent; however, plain deletion would be inappropriate as it would remove these articles from the 'Demons' category tree altogether. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:26, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to demons. What is "occultism" and what is "religion" and what is "mythology" and what is just "fiction", is not easy enough to say for certainty to make clear category cuts easy or doable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:25, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• The category wasn't tagged, so please do not close for another week. MER-C 09:31, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - does Occultism with a capital O refer to a specific movement or discipline (as with theosophy/Theosophy)? Daß Wölf 19:12, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming or deleting Category:White Americans, Category:White American culture

Nominator's rationale: delete or merge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/White_Americans — ItsAlwaysLupus (talk) 21:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]

• Comment, the rationale is not clear to me. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Now keep, following the closure in the discussion that nominator referred to. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:58, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Pokémon RPGs to Category:Pokémon video games

Nominator's rationale: Personally, I think this category is backwards, since the main Pokémon games are all RPGs. These games should be in the base category, and a new category called Category:Pokémon spinoff video games or similar be created for the ones currently in it. (And possibly a Category:Pokémon fangames for the unofficial ones). _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:00, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. Based on List of Pokémon video games, there may be enough content to support a separate Category:Pokémon spin-off video games. However, the spin-off games are currently spread across both the nominated category and its parent. The only problem I see is that merging as nominated would break these articles' connection to Category:Virtual pet video games. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:22, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @Zxcvbnm: Any thoughts on the last issue? I am hoping you are more familiar with the franchise than I... -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:23, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Life user templates to Category:Userboxes

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge, too broad to be useful. Most sibling categories are also about life. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support per nomination. Not all subcategories of Category:Life user templates should go to Category:Userboxes, but they can be subcategorized later, after upmerge. —⁠andrybak (talk) 07:29, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support upmerging is a great idea.Catfurball (talk) 19:09, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
