The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:57, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous parent for Category:Films directed by Sidney Poitier as this holds no other directly-related articles beyond the main article itself. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:27, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:58, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization for just 2 articles (with one being the main article per WP:OCEPON. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:58, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not enough individual content to justify an eponymous category per WP:OCEPON. The discography article can simply be put in the albums category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People involved with terrorism

[edit]
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. Timrollpickering 19:59, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge the subcats only per WP:OCASSOC, the category attracts dubious articles (people without a conviction) and the number of subcategories is not that big that it would overcrowd the parent category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Birds of the Miombo

[edit]
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. Timrollpickering 20:00, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is, afaics, no such region as "the Miombo" (with a capital "M") so, as a minimum, these categories should be renamed.   Being found in miombo woodland is non-defining for many of the articles currently in the categories e.g. Spotted flat lizard which (makes no mention of miombo) and African savanna hare ("It is native to diverse regions and habitats ..."). Note: the (now-blocked) creator of the category appears to have sometimes categorized based on off-wiki lists rather than the information in articles - e.g. see this.
There are some articles for which being found in miombo woodland may be a defining characteristic - e.g. "Its habitat is mainly dense miombo woodland, but it has also been observed in ...", but in wp we don't generally categorize species by habitats; we categorize by (country-based) regions.  Attempting to categorize by habitats could get very messy - e.g. would an article that says "Its natural habitats are boreal forests, subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests." belong in a miombo habitat category?

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:58, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT that happens to be empty now; only 2 articles would fall into it were it filled. Izno (talk) 18:43, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 20:01, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
similar categories for other countries
Nominator's rationale: The proposed names would match other hierarchies such as Category:Companies of the Netherlands by industry & Category:Companies of the Netherlands by year of establishment. – Fayenatic London 13:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Castles in Germany by region

[edit]
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: no consensus. The main confusion is why the proposal is to delete the container category but keep the subcategories that divide castles by region. A fresh nomination that deletes all of them could be preferable. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:43, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Superfluous. All the subcategories are already in Category:Castles in Germany by state‎ - as are all the other castles. Rathfelder (talk) 12:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree; only castles are categorized like this; for example Category:Churches in Germany by region is a redlink. DexDor (talk) 21:17, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Struck latter part after discussion below. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would happily delete the subcategories, but it may be that the regions are geographically significant. After all the Länder were not established until centuries after the castles were built. So I think that is a seperate discussion.Rathfelder (talk) 09:08, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reply I think that Category:Regions of Germany displays plenty of possibility for future growth in itself and in its children. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:06, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe - but unlike some other countries there is no agreement about what constitutes a region in Germany. I think there are categories for at least 5 different kinds of regions. Rathfelder (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jewish communism

[edit]
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:Jewish communist movements. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:54, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm uneasy about the name of this category, which seems to endorse Jewish Bolshevism, an antisemitic conspiracy theory. Catrìona (talk) 10:33, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
