• Propose deleting Category:Parodies of Donald Trump in South Park (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  
• Propose merging Category:Parodies of Donald Trump in South Park (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Parodies of Donald Trump (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERCAT, specifically WP:SMALL and WP:NARROWCAT, these articles can exist just fine in Category:Parodies of Donald Trump, no need for this small sub-cat to exist. SanAnMan (talk) 16:44, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – A category with 12 articles is not a WP:SMALLCAT, especially as the parent category Category:Parodies of Donald Trump only has 26 entries. — JFG ^talk 15:17, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose This is not a small category. Dimadick (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, a better rationale for merging might be the fact that the category is based on a trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:57, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Holy orders in the Catholic Church to Category:Major orders in the Catholic Church
• Propose merging Category:Major orders to Category:Major orders in the Catholic Church

Nominator's rationale: There was near-consensus for the merger of these categories under the new name at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 November 1#Holy orders in the Catholic Church. Major arguments is that the scope of the category goes beyong the holy order sacraments themselves but cover related topics also (women, homosexuality, celibacy, religious orders, vocations etc.). The second category is highly redundant.

• Support, the two categories cover the same topic and should definitely be merged. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:09, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per nom, too much overlap. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:28, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Slag (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: This category is unnecessary as it contains one article (Slag) which is directly in the relevant categories and is unlikely to grow much (in the unlikely event that it does category could be re-created). Disclosure: I recently removed Lapilli from the category. DexDor ^(talk) 11:32, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Irish Gaelic poets to Category:Irish-language poets
• Propose renaming Category:21st-century Irish Gaelic poets to Category:21st-century Irish-language poets

Nominator's rationale: The category currently located at Category:Irish Gaelic poets refers to poets who write in the Irish language (sometimes incorrectly called Irish Gaelic), and is a subcategory of Category:Irish-language writers. Speedy renaming was opposed.

It is currently in the category Category:Gaelic poets which has been nominated for deletion; see below. Zerach (talk) 08:18, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The Irish language is one of the Goidelic languages, but this is not a reason to identify Irish-language writers as Gaels. Dimadick (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Buddhist communities of Thailand (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  
• Propose deleting Category:Buddhist communities of Laos (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: Re-creation of category previously deleted per CfDs here and here. I don't see indication that consensus has changed. Paul_012 (talk) 01:40, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete per nom, a clear case of WP:G4. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per nom, WP:TRIVIALCAT applies. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:28, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
