  • Propose merging Category:People from Heqing County to Category:People from Dali
  • Propose merging Category:People from Jianchuan County to Category:People from Dali
  • Propose merging Category:People from Xiangyun County to Category:People from Dali
  • Propose merging Category:People from Yunlong County to Category:People from Dali
Nominator's rationale: Four categories recently created just to hold a single person each. As always, "People from [Geographic Entity]" categories do not need to immediately exist the moment one person from that particular place has an article to file in it -- these would all be fine if there were five people in each of them, but are not needed for just one, and the larger prefecture-level category is all that's needed in the meantime.

Nominator's rationale: Single item category. Ghana doesn't have any monarchies anyhow, there are chiefdoms but Ghana is a republic D1551D3N7 (talk) 12:23, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 02:22, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: West Asia and the Middle East largely overlap, so we do not need both category trees. It is better to keep West Asia because it is consistent with other subcategories in Category:Countries in Asia by region. Remove Egypt and add the three South Caucasus countries where needed. --Sakakami (talk) 10:23, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Mason (talk) 00:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge. There are only 4 people across these two centuries which isn't helpful for navigation at all. Mason (talk) 00:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind. I didn't look to see if there were other novelists. There are more than enough. Mason (talk) 00:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I think that we should upmerge this to the parent category. There's only one "genre" in here. And I'm not really confident that nautical is really a genre. Mason (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
