NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:FM-Class articles
- Propose renaming Category:FM-Class articles to Category:FM-Class files
- Nominator's rationale: Quite simply, these are not articles, but are pages in the File namespaces. I suspect the category was named because it was easier to populate via template, but now we are using lua it will be easy to change this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Foreign residents of Mexican California
- Nominator's rationale: merge, unnecessary distinction, for the larger part we do not know if people were naturalized or not. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:29, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:19th century in Alta California
- Propose merging Category:19th century in Alta California to Category:Alta California
- Nominator's rationale: merge, the province Alta California existed wholly within the 19th century. If merged, some parents may be manually moved from Category:19th century in Alta California to Category:Alta California as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:20, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Haitian billionaires
- Nominator's rationale: I would have said merge to Category:Haitian people but that category shouldn't have entries. Unlikely to be more Haitian billionaires out there. LibStar (talk) 04:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- It should be merged to Category:Billionaires at the very least. But better expand this nomination with a significant number of sibling categories, e.g. all with one or two articles. Currently there aren't any biography articles directly in Category:Billionaires and it would not make much sense to have the Haitian billionnaire as the only biography there.

Category:Presidential residences in Puntland
- Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category with only one page in it. SMasonGarrison 02:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Triple merge, also to Category:Government of Puntland. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:20, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Arkansas politicians convicted of corruption
- Nominator's rationale: Narrow category that shouldn't be diffusing and doesn't help navigation with a single person in it SMasonGarrison 02:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge per nom. Not every state has its own subcategory (though some do). Marcocapelle (talk) 04:22, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Presidential elections in the United States
- Nominator's rationale: Per title of main article - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Procedural oppose Per the bazillion categories in Category:Presidential elections by country. Changing the name would lead to inconsistency, so all of them would have to be nominated unless there's some special reason this is singled out. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- In fact there is good reason to nominate them all, because the articles use a different format than the categories, at least for the countries that I checked. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:25, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- If that format is kept, the base article ideally should also be titled Presidential elections in the United States. Articles pertaining to individual elections can remain. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 05:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, but normally the categories follow the conventions in the articles, not vice versa. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Category:Gravity Rush (franchise)
- Nominator's rationale: There are only 3 real pages that belong here, GR1, GR2 and Kat. I don't think this passes the bar for a franchise category, much as I wish it did. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:23, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- (category creator) For what it's worth, it also contains a navigation template and four files. I think PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale also fits in the category pretty solidly considering all its other franchise categories, and the two real-world people are relevant enough to categorize too, in my opinion. I'll say keep, but I'm fine if it's deleted (admittedly, all I know about Gravity Rush is from Scott the Woz). — gabldotink [ talk | contribs | global account ] 01:20, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Well, All-Stars Battle Royale shouldn't be in any franchise categories. Per WP:CATDEF, it has to be defining for the game (i.e. being a literal part of that franchise, not having a cameo character from it). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
