• Propose merging Category:Forestry researcher stubs to Category:Academic biography stubs

Nominator's rationale: Stub category with fewer than 60 members; upmerge to Category:Academic biography stubs per WP:WPSS procedure. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, this is a very small stub category. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:08, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Anti-piracy battles involving Great Britain to Category:Anti-piracy battles involving the United Kingdom

Nominator's rationale: I don't think we need to diffuse by century*nationality intersection, especially given that there are only 4 pages in here Mason (talk) 19:43, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• If merged, also merge to Category:Naval battles involving Great Britain. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle: from Speedy Cfd. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:15, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge for now, almost all are films in their own subcategory. No objection to recreate the category in some form when more non-film articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. A fresh discussion for merging might have more success. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Chemical compounds by type to Category:Chemical compounds by parameter

Nominator's rationale: The contents of this Category clearly don't fit with the current name: none of them is "by type", as they all use different parameters.

which is what gave me the idea for the proposed rename. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure that's the right name, so if somebody comes up with a better name I'll be more than happy to support. Anomalous+0 (talk) 08:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By property? Remsense ‥ 论 15:23, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I have seen "by parameter" more often, so it should be ok. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Remsense: Thoughts on Marcocapelle's comment? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:21, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Remsense: we have Category:Categories by parameter but that it is not a good analogy. I could find Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_June_24#Category:People_categories_by_parameter. Conclusion from that discussion: "by parameter" wasn't a good suggestion after all. Based on this previous discussion, you can likewise argue that Category:Chemical compounds by type should be merged to Category:Chemical compounds. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:44, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Sorry for the delay. I think since there are only six members, it might be better to upmerge? Remsense ‥ 论 21:56, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yeah right. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:59, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:DC Comics animated series title cards to Category:DC Comics animated series logos

Nominator's rationale: Both cover the exact same scope as these title cards are just the on-screen logos and have overlapping descriptions and categories. Cats are not too big to warrant separate ones over a technicality, which can be confusing, especially when both have logo and title card/intertitle-named files.
