- Nominator's rationale: Hosting a Sommar (radio program) (~60 per year) is not a defining characteristic for the people doing it. WP:PERFCAT. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 23:19, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: superceded by Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 March 29#Establishments by continent. -- Beland (talk) 08:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 08:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: (Merging would have to involve manual sorting of decade+country subcategories into the correct continents.) It seems redundant and a bit confusing to have the decade+location event categories have two different schemes - one where countries are listed by continent and one where they are listed alphabetically. This results in some countries being accidentally listed in one scheme but not the other. I would suggest getting rid of the alphabetical listing because navigating to other countries on the same continent in the same period sounds more useful. -- Beland (talk) 02:24, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural comment, this will only work when the subcategories are nominated too. Substantively I would rather do it the other way around, because our current division between Europe, Africa and Asia does not make a lot of sense in the world of the past. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:48, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: How would we handle pan-continent entities like UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and European Free Trade Association? Just add them to all the countries they cover?
- I'm agnostic as to which direction to merge, but just want to make sure it's going the right way before I nominate a huge number of categories. Also wondering if the right thing to do is to nominate them for deletion? A lot of them are already categorized per-country, but maybe not all. But presumably per-country categorization could easily be added later if we do a mass removal. Or we could do a manual merge from per-continent to per-country categories? -- Beland (talk) 22:41, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:13, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- If we go from continent to country, as I proposed, then some articles will have to sit in global categories. But that is fine. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Provincial Supervisory Committees (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Provincial supervisory committees of China
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layers that collectively contain a single category, Category:Provincial Supervisory Committees, discovered in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_12#Category:State_Organizations_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China. It is also doubtful that is an official name of the group. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:National Democratic Party of Germany politicians convicted of crimes to Category:German politicians convicted of crimes and Category:National Democratic Party of Germany politicians
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between ideology and criminal status. It is non defining the way we are presenting it - we do not have a category for communists convicted of crimes, nor should we. Crimes motivated by neo-Nazism are probably defining, but a sizable portion of the people in this category were convicted for crimes that are not at all related to their views (mostly petty crimes or sex crimes), maybe a majority, which is not defining. And for a renamed category and purge that would contain only the people known for committing Nazi motivated crimes I don’t know what we would call it.

- Nominator's rationale: It is not useful to diffuse buildings and structures by commune for French Guinea. All contain 1-3 articles each. Merge per WP:NARROW. The articles are all already in subcategories of Category:Buildings and structures in French Guiana so an additional target is unnecessary. Category:Buildings and structures in Cayenne is the only subcategory worth keeping so merge Category:Buildings and structures in French Guiana by commune as a redundant category layer. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:New Caledonian people by populated place (0) to Category:People by populated place or Category:French people by populated place
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer. Not useful for navigation. The lone article is already in Category:People from South Province, New Caledonia so an additional target is unnecessary. Unsure if Category:French people by populated place should be the merge target since New Caledonia is a part of Overseas France; no preference either way. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:03, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Single (or dual) merge per nom. I don't really think it should be in Category:French people by populated place. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete and Merge - unnecessary overcategorization. If a submarine is an attack submarine, categorize it as such. If it is a ballistic missile submarine, categorize it as such. If it fires cruise missiles, then add that category. If nuclear, add that category. Etc., etc., etc. Otherwise we end up with a mish-mash of combination categories.

- Nominator's rationale: This is not a defining characteristic of these games. In fact, the vast majority of the articles in the category don't mention Street Fighter 6 at all. This would work best as a separate list or, if there's enough room, a section in Street Fighter 6. Pichpich (talk) 20:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Category:Plays by Walter C. Hackett
- 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. ✗plicit 00:28, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Plays by Walter C. Hackett to Category:Plays by Walter Hackett
- Nominator's rationale: Having just worked on the Walter Hackett article I discovered a significant error. The writer never went by the name Walter C. Hackett. This naming convention appears to originate with IMDb and amazingly has even made it into some scholarly books published post 2000 (probably the scholars never bothered to check and just trusted the internet). However, the author never called himself or wrote under the name Walter C. Hackett. He did write under the names Walter Hackett or Walter L. Hackett (both of which are his real name). His middle name was Lawrence. See the extensive referencing on this that I have done in the article to census records, voter registration records, WWII draft cards, and multiple newspaper accounts across American and British newspapers confirming his name as Walter Lawrence Hackett extending from the 1890s into the 1940s. As a writer he was primarily known by just Walter Hackett with no middle initial in newspaper coverage and publications of his works while he was alive (although occasionally the L. was given, particularly in his early career). Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- It is a pity that the article move wasn't discussed in an WP:RM procedure. The category name should follow the article name, but is the article name stable? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see why it wouldn't be. The sourcing is very strong.4meter4 (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- "amazingly has even made it into some scholarly books" So what? Most scholarly books are full of typos, or errors in spelling or dating. See practically every university publication available in googlebooks. When working on articles on Byzantine figures, I had to double-check on all the errors. Dimadick (talk) 08:49, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see why it wouldn't be. The sourcing is very strong.4meter4 (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- I am inclined to believe that 4meter4 knows what they are talking about, given they brought the article up to DYK standards. (For transparency, I reviewed that DYK nomination before I knew that this CFD nomination had been made.) Thus, support per nom. I'd say the burden is on those supporting the C to show that he went by that name; it is very hard to prove a negative. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 06:31, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
