Nominator's rationale: Felid-human interaction is a synonym of Felids and humans and doesn't need to be a subcategory IMHO jengod (talk) 18:37, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:21, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:00, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- The effect of this will be that "Muslim scholars of Islam" will be directly under "Muslim writers". This is a necessary result of having moved those engaged in Muslim studies as an academic discipline undertaken by outsiders having been moved into a different branch of the tree.

Category:Historians of the Ottoman Empire

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: disperse. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:44, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: disperse, this is a third and confusing category between Category:Historians from the Ottoman Empire and Category:Scholars of Ottoman history. The articles belong in the tree of the former. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:29, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arab historians of Islam

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: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 18:21, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: manually merge, trivial intersection between ethnicity and occupation. Note that the far amount of articles is already in Category:Historians of the medieval Islamic world, a subcategory of the target, so these articles can just be purged.

20th-century sportsmen

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:48, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • History: Category:20th-century sportsmen and Category:21st-century sportsmen were deleted after the following discussions:
  • Current status
  • The parent Category:20th-century men is now full of sports subcategories. To a lesser extent this applies to Category:21st-century men too. I cannot imagine that this was the intent of the discussions above. But nevertheless technically it is correct that they are there, given the circumstance that Category:20th-century sportsmen no longer exists.
  • Alternate proposals

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Option NC — no consensus to change. Agree with David Eppstein, categorizing people by cross-sections of century, sport, gender, and country is bad. Remove all those competition and venue subcategories. They belong under "by occupation", and rather far down that rathole. This will all fall apart with transgender or female FIFA players. Kill everything under Category:Sportspeople by century as well (now have 19th and 18th), otherwise we'll have 1st-century eventually.

  • Comment -- The rationale of the 2010 discussion was that it was in essence a current/past split. That was relevant in 2010, but most sporting careers only last a decade or so, so that there may be a case for allowing the split now, but "20th-century sportsmen" should only be a container.

The result of the discussion was: Delete Timrollpickering (talk) 18:24, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT individual categories that accidentally escaped Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 December 28#Category:Writers who committed suicide by nationality. Apparently, edits swapping their categories happened during the purge.
