Nominator's rationale: merge, with few exceptions these categories contain only 1-3 articles, this is not helpful for navigation. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion. I am (only now) reading the earlier RFC that was referred to but the objections seem to focus on much more recent years than nominated here. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidan721, LaundryPizza03, XFalcon2004x, and Pppery: pinging contributors to earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:46, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge nom and previous disucssion. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I cannot say anything that I haen't said in the previous discussions because all the categories are like them. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 23:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as per previous conversations. XFalcon2004x (talk) 19:08, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Palestine

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 February 14#Category:People from Palestine

Category:Sportspeople from Zadran

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/delete as nominated. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:04, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Sportspeople from Zadran (0) to Category:Sportspeople from Paktia Province
Propose deleting Category:People from Zadran (0)

Nominator's rationale: Contains only 1 article. Not useful for navigation. Merge per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:38, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:59, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep it is non-trivial and defining, and useful for navigation if you are happening to look for someone from Zadran Nayyn (talk) 20:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is what the "What links here" feature is meant for. Categories are meant to navigate between articles and in this case there isn't any other article to navigate to. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Waste management by in the Palestinian Territories

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:Waste management in Palestine. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:03, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Waste management by in the Palestinian Territories to Category:Waste management in Palestine

Nominator's rationale: Consistent with all other categories in Category:Waste management by country. --Hassan697 (talk) 19:36, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"by in" should obviously become "in". But Palestinian Territories isn't the current state of Palestine. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:17, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But the content of the 'Category:Waste management by in the Palestinian Territories' is about the current state. --Hassan697 (talk) 14:06, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The first line of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Monitoring Program reads:The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Monitoring Program or WaSH MP is a local initiative that is responsible for monitoring the enduring crisis in the water sector in the Palestinian territories (oPt). –Aidan721 (talk) 17:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That should probably be changed to Palestine though. Hassan697 is correct, the category name can be changed to Palestine after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:33, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:N2 road (South Africa) to Category:N2 (South Africa)

Nominator's rationale: To have the same name as the main article (not a redirect) and to be consistent with Category:N1 (South Africa). GeographicAccountant (talk) 19:35, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:02, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Death in the Palestinian territories (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Duplicates scope of and loops with Category:Death in Palestine. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:18, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does it? Per earlier discussion, Palestine in category naming is supposed to mean the State of Palestine, while the Palestinian territories were preceding the state. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:22, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice idea in theory. In practice the content is the same. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 22:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the nominator's rationale. --Hassan697 (talk) 14:06, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:02, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Foals (band) EPs to Category:Foals (band) albums

Nominator's rationale: Both entries are redirects. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:38, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:24, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. No need for the subcat for redirects. Parent allows for adequate navigation. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 04:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:01, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:25th century (1 C)
Propose deleting Category:26th century (1 C)

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. The articles should be moved manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, too far in the future to support almost anything except fiction-by-setting categories. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:43, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Western (genre) staples and terminology

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: delete. House Blaster (talk • he/they) 01:01, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Western (genre) staples and terminology (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Something is really fishy with this category. I ain't no expert in catmaking, but this category superficially groups Moonshine and Pueblo architecture. The statute of the category saysThis category is for terms, subjects, stock characters, miscellaneous items and the like which are common to the Western genre but who and how makes a decision about this? Is Jacksonian democracy really "common to the Western genre"? --Altenmann >talk 04:14, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:OCMISC and/or WP:OCSUBJECTIVE. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete In the same vein as the 2018 CfD that deleted Category:Clichés. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 04:50, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is essentially WP:ASSOCIATEDWITH. I seem to recall we've been down this road before. This could be a similarly-named re-creation. - jc37 14:27, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
