The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:33, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the category was created as a result of this earlier discussion, but it seems to coincide with an older existing category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:37, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Peterkingiron and 67kevlar: pinging contributors to previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:06, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support That is probably a good solution, but it may be necessary to purge those who always lived in Russia, but happened to have a Ukrainian parent, without having Ukrainian as an internal nationality within USSR. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:26, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: With only one subcategory with two articles (and a redirect), this group doesn't need an eponymous category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:32, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Independence League

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:40, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT –Aidan721 (talk) 16:10, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per WP:SMALLCAT, I believe baseball league categories "are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" and that this category "does have realistic potential for growth" in that the league and seven of its eight teams lack articles presently. -- Pemilligan (talk) 01:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but merge to parent categories. The smallcat exception rule does not apply here, all parent categories contain articles directly in it so there is no large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is it part of the definition of a sub-categorization scheme that parent categories don't contain articles? Where is this definition? It's something I haven't heard of before. -- Pemilligan (talk) 18:09, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Large" was not the question; "By implication you would then have no articles in the parent category" is what I'm asking about. I don't draw the inference that you do. That sounds like your opinion. -- Pemilligan (talk) 18:34, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Governors of Egypt

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: split (to Category:Governors of governorates of Egypt). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, the larger part of subcategories does not concern governors of the whole of Egypt but of governorates. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:43, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There doesn't appear to be a standalone article on it. Bay Area Rationalism redirects to LessWrong, but there's no mention of it in the article. Brandmeistertalk 15:44, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
