Propose deleting Category:Overseas citizens of India (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I don't think we need such type of category. Are they honorary citizens? Störm (talk) 22:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I think the correct term is "Non-Resident Indians" (abbreviated to NRI), which is a well-known status in Indian law. I have a friend (living in UK) with that status. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but remname as Non-Resident Indians. Unlike some countries the Indian political system pays a lot of attention to its expatriates. See the article Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin. Rathfelder (talk) 20:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

India is certainly not the only country to which this applies. However it has little to do with the separate biographies which can simply be classified as Indian migrants or of Indian descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:30, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Films about firefighters to Category:Films about firefighting

Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERLAPCAT, basically all firefighting films involve firefighters (possibly except those focusing on individual, historically notable firefighters but even then the separation line is very thin). Brandmeister^talk 10:28, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Indonesia table tennis biography stubs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This stub template was created without consensus. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 07:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete category and its corresponding template {{Indonesia-tabletennis-bio-stub}}. The category is straightforward enough. As for the template, I'd normally prefer to upmerge templates like this, but it's not currently used on any articles and a brief look at Category:Indonesian table tennis players only shows 2 articles that could arguably use it (though I wouldn't use it in either of them). Otherwise the template can be upmerged to Category:Indonesian sportspeople stubs and Category:Asian table tennis biography stubs, although in this case I'd favour deletion. – Liveste (talk • edits) 02:41, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
