- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between secondary school education and future occupation. WP:TRIVIALCAT. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:05, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep the proposed merges While I'm sure there will be some other arguments presented, I have to oppose these based on the nom rationale of trivial – St Bede's College is connected with the Manchester City academy. It's a relevant category for this school. But I would support to delete the proposed deletions, as they were created as shells only for the other categories and it's unlikely other schools have similar relevance, so seem unnecessary anyway. Final comment is that I would hand some friendly advice to nom @Aidan721:, who I see has mass-XfD'd many other specific footballer categories, to perhaps discuss whether to make some of these proposals in future beforehand, even the seemingly non-controversial ones (e.g. if currently-redundant categories have their own scope, they will not necessarily stay empty/redundant and an XfD can be discouraging from future re-creation). Kingsif (talk) 22:26, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Merge/delete per nom. All articles are in a sportspeople/footballers category anyway, we do not have to diffuse a category by sportspeople/footballers while that was not even relevant yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:American ghostwriters to Category:Ghostwriters
- Propose merging Category:British ghostwriters to Category:Ghostwriters
- Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:OVERCAT. There are already subcategories of nationality writers by type - novelist, biographers - and ghostwriters are included in that. Best to keep one category for this than divide up by nationality. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:08, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

- I recommend this and other similar categories created by Jevansen for similar merging, such as:
- I once tried to initiate dialogue with them about this but did not receive a response. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:0:0:0:D25A (talk) 05:44, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- Well sign into your account, or create one, and you might find people are more willing to engage with you. These will need to be nominated separately (with a rationale). Jevansen (talk) 06:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- That sort of bullying of IP users is not acceptable. Nobody is obligated to have an account to participate, and this does not absolve you from responsibility for your actions. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:0:0:0:D25A (talk) 09:27, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Category:Lists of political office-holders by province or territory in Canada
- 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: rename to Category:Lists of political office-holders in Canada by province or territory. Very rough consensus favoring the splitter at the end, so I am going with the only proposal which does so per WP:BARTENDER. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Lists of political office-holders by province or territory in Canada to Category:Lists of political office-holders by province or territory of Canada
- Nominator's rationale: Use "of" rather than "in", per Category:Categories by province or territory of Canada. I could have taken this to Speedy, but maybe someone has a better name. Note: the contents are not all holders of provincial offices, as they include subcats for mayors of places within the provinces. – Fayenatic London 22:05, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Perhaps it would be better to purge the mayors, and rename as Lists of provincial and territorial political office-holders in Canada, per parent Category:Provincial and territorial political office-holders in Canada? But then the subcats would need to be nominated too. – Fayenatic London 22:17, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Either the mayors are removed, then "of" becomes correct (but then the subcategories should be nominated too) or we can leave it as is. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:53, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Which option?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:24, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Lists of political office-holders in Canada by province or territory, which matches Category:Lists of Canadian people by province or territory and is also inclusive of federal office-holders such as Category:Lists of senators by province or territory of Canada. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Aruba geography stubs to Category:Caribbean geography stubs
- Nominator's rationale: There are only 21 mainspace articles, which isn't enough for a stub category (there needs to be at least 60, right?) - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 19:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:42, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge - the number of stubs fluctuates rapidly. This had 60 when created and is likely to have 60 again, though it's currently low enough to be merged - no prejudice against re-creation iff it does. If decision is to merge, it should be doubly merged to Category:Caribbean geography stubs and Category:Aruba stubs. BTW, it now has 26 articles, not 21. Grutness...wha? 03:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. If someone wants to make it list, the only member was (as of deletion) Out to Lunch!. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:58, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for a non-defining characteristic. The question of how long it takes to record an album is essentially WP:TRIVIA, not a defining characteristic of the album. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Even if the sole entry met WP:CATV (and there is nothing in the body/refs discussing how long it took to record), "time-in-recording-studio" is not a defining characteristic (as expected by WP:CATDEF). To the extent that, even if other album entries met CATV, I don't see how any would meet CATDEF. Per nom, recording time seems like a relatively trivial characteristic (compared to artist, genre, language, label, awards, charting, etc). Guliolopez (talk) 19:21, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per above --Lenticel (talk) 02:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Category:PlayStation 5-only games
- 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 as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:00, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:PlayStation 5-only games to Category:PlayStation VR2-only games and Category:PlayStation 5-only games
- Nominator's rationale: Currently, the PlayStation 5-only games category displays games for both the PS5, and its console add-on, the PSVR2. Many PSVR2 games require this add-on in order to play its library (some games work with and without VR, however). There was some discussion on the PS5-only talk page about whether PSVR2-only games should be split off into their own category. There is precedent for console add-ons having their own applicable categories: Category:Sega 32X-only games have their own separate category from Category:Sega Genesis-only games. Jursha (talk) 21:40, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Category:PlayStation VR2-only games is currently an empty category. Also, categories do not contain "See also" sections, they typically have no or minimal content on them. Liz Read! Talk! 22:15, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- I figured the process was to propose splitting like I did before I start editing pages and moving items to my proposed category.I must have misunderstoodthe directions on the Cfd page. I did remove the See Also section, thank you. Jursha (talk) 13:57, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment Headers of CfD discussions are not linked. And the nominator should not have created an empty category just to hold non-categorical content. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:41, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Should I take that to mean I can move items to the new category? I can definitely do that. Jursha (talk) 13:58, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, that it should be deleted until the discussion closes. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:01, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Understood, thank you. I nominated the category page I made for speedy deletion. Jursha (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- No, that it should be deleted until the discussion closes. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:01, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Category:1836 establishments in Liechtenstein
- 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 to Category:19th-century establishments in Liechtenstein and Category:1836 establishments in the German Confederation. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:15, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:1836 establishments in Liechtenstein to Category:1836 establishments in the German Confederation
- Nominator's rationale: Category newly created for just one thing at an anachronistic name. Liechtenstein was not yet an independent country in 1836, but just a principality within the German Confederation -- but we name "establishments" categories with the name the polity had at the time, and Liechtenstein doesn't otherwise have any other YYYY establishments categories for any other year prior to 1861. So this would be fine as a subcategory of the German Confederation parent if there were several things to file here, but it isn't needed for just one thing. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I believe you are mistaken. Liechtenstein has been a independent state since 1806. TheBritinator (talk) 14:50, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- All members of the German Confederation were independent states. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:38, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Exactly. The German confederation was not a polity like the Holy Roman Empire with an emperor, but more of a strong alliance and all members were independent states. I am indifferent to the outcome of this since I wasn't aware that the other category existed but I should note that the rationale for the merge is largely incorrect.

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:02, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:People from Kaimla to Category:People from Karnal district
- Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated "People from Place" category for a place whose main article describes it as a village (and cites no population figure at all, so it's unlikely to be particularly large). As always, every populated place does not automatically get one of these the moment there are one or two people from there with Wikipedia articles -- it would be fine if there were at least five people in it, but with just two the district level is all that's needed in the meantime. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if at least three other people from Kaimla can be found, but for a small village that's not terribly likely. Bearcat (talk) 14:09, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename as nominated. WP:BARTENDER going with the name of the article Campbell's, which does not preclude a further rename nomination. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:03, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Campbell Soup Company (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Campbell's (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

- Propose renaming Category:Campbell Soup Company people (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Campbell's people (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Should be renamed to Campbell's to match the article. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - This may need to be The Campbell's Company (per the article), due to WP:PRECISION. And to avoid confusion with other entries at Campbell. - jc37 22:27, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't disagree, but the article itself was moved to Campbell's from the Campbell Soup Company following its corporate renaming a few months ago. I'm proposing a category move to match the article's title, whatever it is. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:17, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- If/when the article title would present ambiguity as a category name, we tend to look for alternatives. Which is why I looked to the contents of the article to see what alternatives might be available to us. Other options obviously welcome : ) - jc37 23:31, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:2001 in Brazil. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:14, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale:
deletemerge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory and we seem not to have any similar category. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:47, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to parent Category:2001 in Brazil instead. I agree that it's a redundant layer (and I also don't see any similar events categories), but the sole subcat Category:2001 crimes in Brazil belongs in Category:2001 in Brazil. The "YYYY crimes in Foo" categories are (afaics) always subcats of the "YYYY in Foo" categories (see, for example, subcats and subsubcats of Category:2001 by country, such as Category:2001 in the United States, which contains Category:2001 crimes in the United States).

Category:Trophy heads
- 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: manual merge to Category:Decapitation. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:17, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: I don't think that "trophy heads" is a term that is used. I've been looking through many murder and crime categories that have recently been emptied and it is not uncommon for rebels who have been killed to have their heads displayed. But I don't think it's called "trophy heads" and it is not defining. I can't see that this categorization should be merged to any other category. I'm not sure it matters but this category was created by a sockpuppet. Liz Read! Talk! 07:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Manually merge to the tree of Category:Decapitation which is sort of the same concept. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:53, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: also unsure about the title, since displayed heads are not necessarily "trophies"—in fact it could be argued that few of them are—but I also note that most or all of the contents would tend to refer to instances of beheading, which is not synonymous with decapitation. Perhaps before the modern era the distinction was rare, but nowadays nearly all decapitations are accidental, with the rare exception of beheadings by terrorist organizations, or possibly some instances involving crime or medical research, whereas beheadings are always intentional—at least literal, not metaphorical ones. I'm not at all concerned by whether the category was created by a sockpuppet, only whether it's a useful distinction. Sockpuppets can make useful contributions too, even though they're not supposed to. P Aculeius (talk) 10:15, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. No consensus has formed, and no consensus is likely to form given the deletion of the proposed merge target and Marcocapelle's observation. A broader nomination taking present circumstances into account might find consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:18, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Proposer merging Category:Words and phrases by language to Category:Concepts by language
- Nominator's rationale: Please discuss at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_April_7#Category:Concepts_by_language. fgnievinski (talk) 13:58, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- This is a huge tree, maybe too big to discuss all at once. In principle I agree, but shouldn't we wait for the concepts by language discussion to play out? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:49, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Well, I briefly reviewed Category:Words and phrases in Modern Hebrew and of 355 articles only 7 (with a stretch) are actually about words. I am not sure about "Aliyah" and "Kibbutz", but as a first step, all book/film/etc. titles and names of organizations and the likes (i.e., proper names) must be removed regardless the size of the category tree. --Altenmann >talk 17:24, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment This nomination was missing the preamble which lists the proposed actions. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:45, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Question - Ok, so please help me understand. So the "concepts" cats were split from the "words and phrases" cats, but now the suggestion is to re-merge them, but under the concepts name? First, am I understanding that correctly, and second, why did it happen, and why is this now being proposed? - jc37 18:02, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. Maybe the "Fooian words and phrases" should all be listified, see Lists of loanwords, and then purged. But they contain valid subcats, e.g. German words and phrases contains German political catchphrases, German profanity, German-language idioms, Nazi terminology and Austrian political phrases (excluding Vergangenheitsbewältigung). Also, the "X by language" sub-cats listed at the top of Category:Words and phrases by language are valid. Therefore the latter should not be merged. – Fayenatic London 17:20, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- This clearly needs more thought. Note that the subcategories by language have not been included in the nomination yet, so as it stands this could not have been implemented anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:03, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment I agree players would be a better term but most ice hockey categories are people[1] not players. Lost in Quebec (talk) 08:55, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment Ice hockey players/ice hockey people breaks the relationship between Category:Sportspeople and Category:People in sports, but if that shall be adressed, it needs to start somewhere else, e.g. at Category:Ice hockey people by populated place.

- Oppose per above comments.--User:Namiba 14:21, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Weak oppose; I have no great attachment to the current scope / title but as Lost in Quebec has pointed out, this was created as the trend in this sport is for people rather than players. A side note, there is no difference between Glasgow and the more recently-created Category:Ice hockey people from London so it should either be included here, or if any changes result then they should be speedily applied to it too. Basically the same logic applies to Category:Ice hockey players from Fife (that is a region, but Glasgow and London are too in administrative contexts); doesn't make much sense to have one under people and the other under players.
