Nominator's rationale: To better match parent category and article name. Wozal (talk) 01:05, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, / RemoveRedSky [talk] [gb] 16:51, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Wozal: C2D doesn't apply when the new name is ambiguous, like Hamilton College, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Category:Mercy College (New York) and Category:Mercy College (New York) faculty have already been renamed, so I don't know what else needs to be discussed. It is important to list subcategories when renaming a category, otherwise they may get left behind. TSventon (talk) 17:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Changed from redirect to {{category ambiguous}} as suggested to avoid future misfiling. -- Beland (talk) 07:11, 27 March 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 07:11, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories redirect to Category:Canadian female track and field athletes, which makes no sense. RussBot moved powerlifter April Hutchinson there, which is clearly wrong. Same thing happened to golfer Christina Lecuyer a few weeks back. Paradoctor (talk) 13:42, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Reykjanes

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 (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:34, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Reykjanes is a small peninsual of the Southern Peninsula. There is no need for both categories. Steinninn 11:10, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, "Reykjanes Peninsula" and "Southern Peninsula" are used interchangeably, and it is not clear whether any of the articles is about Reykjanes proper (i.e. it is not a defining characteristic). Marcocapelle (talk) 13:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would be happy if it was renamed to "Suðurnes Peninsula". Or "Southern Peninsula" is also OK. But "Reykjanes Peninsula" is not correct. Steinninn 17:53, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:People from Kirundo Province. Beland (talk) 07:02, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2C, all these sorts of categories use "people from" in the name but the categories also include "people of". This was opposed at speedy. @Smasongarrison and Aymatth2: pinging nominator at speedy and opposer. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:52, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. SMasonGarrison 14:01, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Several of the people in the "people of" category do not come from the province, but are associated with it Aymatth2 (talk) 16:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per-year categories from 500s BC, 400s BC, 300s BC

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: keep. Thank you to participants for keeping it civil. There were some concerns over the (then-)concurrent nomination of the same categories (e.g. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 March 1#6th-century BC deaths by year), however, I am setting those concerns aside given that this discussion has been open for over a week after that discussion was closed. Turning to the merits, this was largely a redux of the many post-SMALLCAT-deprecation discussions attempting to figure out how to thread the needle between current utility and future utility of categories. Like most discussions, some editors argued that these categories are currently unhelpful for navigation and thus should be upmerged. Others argued that they will be helpful in the future, and that upmerging would be a disservice to readers. Neither side is particularly stronger than another when viewed through our PAGs, so I would be supervoting if I did not close in favor of the approximately 5–2 majority in favor of keeping.

Extended content
Nominator's rationale: Sparsely populated due to the topic being in the distant past. -- Beland (talk) 09:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 09:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. E.g. Category:399 BC has now 5 entries in the deaths cat, plus 3 other entries. The previous one, Category:400 BC, has 3 births, 4 deaths, and 1 other. Number of entries (without any effort to populate them further): 398 = 7, 397 = 7, 396 = 4, 395 = 6, 394 = 9, 393 = 5... I see no reason to take hundreds of correctly categorized articles and put them in less precise categories just because... Fram (talk) 09:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The 390s deaths category, if all subcategories were merged, would only have 20 articles. That seems like a good size, especially given that the specific year of death is in some cases uncertain. I'm not sure what the benefit is of having more precise categories; presumably these would all be listed in order in the Deaths section of the article on this decade. -- Beland (talk) 21:30, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And this is not "just because", but because WP:OCYEAR recommends doing it for small categories. Presumably to make navigation by category less choppy and click-heavy. -- Beland (talk) 02:31, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Years of the 7th century BC

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: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:03, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The per-year parent categories were recently merged into decade categories like Category:690s BC. These are in turn already under Category:7th century BC. Where per-year categories don't exist, neither does "Years of the", e.g. Category:Years of the 8th century BC. -- Beland (talk) 08:51, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
