Merge per nom. Hodonín has a populated of under 30,000 people, which it too small to need multiple categories. (I am not saying we should not keep "people from" it). Peterkingiron (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Not all the articles are about days, but there aren't enough awareness months to justify a separate category Rathfelder (talk) 20:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2016 murders in Denmark, 2016 murders in Turkey, 2018 murders in Iraq, Category:2018 murders in Pakistan, Category:2019 murders in Pakistan, Category:March 2016 Istanbul bombing

Nominator's rationale: Most countries do not justify a "murders by year" category; although it does as here require an upmerge to three categories (four for Turkey); Denmark, Iraq and Turkey have only one subcategory for murders by year, while Pakistan has two. Hugo999 (talk) 12:09, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree in relation to cats which have very few articles in them, such as 16 murders in Denmark & 18 murders in Iraq, but not in relation to those which have several articles. The 16 in Turkey & 18 in Pakistan cats easily have enough articles for those cats to be justified. The 19 in Pakistan cat should also be kept as it will almost certainly soon have more articles in it. Jim Michael (talk) 02:53, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Would agree to retaining the 2010s categories by year for Pakistan and Turkey, but with additional categories by year for the 2010s, so that new articles for Turkey in 2018 or 2019 (say) would go immediately into a by-year category. And consider deleting category Category:March 2016 Istanbul bombing which contains one article with the same title and apparently the same categories (add any missing to the article). Hugo999 (talk) 07:50, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment 16 is probably the only year in Turkey which has enough articles for a Murder by year cat. I agree with deleting the March 16 Istanbul cat, because there's no point in having a cat which only has one article in it. Jim Michael (talk) 08:24, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The category contains only 2 items. Merge only the article, not the sub-cat which is already within other sub-cats. – FayenaticLondon11:53, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Aside from one university in one country, who in Europe uses "organizations"? Several European jurisdictions (one very large and important) use English as a primary language, and they all use "organisations", and the language has very heavy use in many of the others; see chart at right, which notes that the majority of residents of nine countries (excluding former British colonies) claim to speak English, and most of them will have learnt British English, not a variety using "organizations". This is not South America, with only one small country using English primarily and the rest having minimal use for it. Nyttend backup (talk) 22:52, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
On a personal note, I belong to the >80% of Dutch people who learned English at school. Contrary to what is stated, we did not learn British English, but we learned (some of) the differences between British English and American English, with the advice to use BE in conversations with British people and AE with American people. Here at en.wp I am still doing my best using "surely" in discussions with American editors and "certainly" in discussions with British or Irish editors - although I can't promise 100% accuracy. There are Dutch schools specifically advertising that they teach Cambridge English, e.g. [1], however they are exceptions. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:48, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of all the differences between forms of English across the world the different spellings of organization is probably one of the last things any teacher of English is going to bother about. All this fuss is a completely misguided attack on what is seen as American linguistic imperialism. Rathfelder (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Nyttend backup/Nyttend you wrotesee chart at right, which notes that the majority of residents of nine countries (excluding former British colonies) claim to speak English, and most of them will have learnt British English, not a variety using "organizations".
RFC. I have opened an RFC about whether to standardise on the "Z" spelling in descriptive category names, i.e. to use "Organization" in all cases. I estimate that this affects the naming of about ten thousand categories.

The National Service Medal (Norway) main article said that everyone who served 18 months national services automatically recieves this award. It also says that such 18 months of service was mandatory. Of all the award categories I've nominated over the years, this is hands down the most ludicrous! - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:42, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't have a main article for the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame but their web site is here. It's an annual dinner that gives awards to 8 or so people a year. Several of the articles in the category mentione the award in the lede but without exception that was added by the creator of this category. This event doesn't seem defining to the individual biography articles but it would be good as a list article. Normally I list the winners in the main article but I put them here on the creator's talk page so no work is lost. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
