The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Stanford University campus and add Category:University and college campuses in California as a parent category. - jc37 08:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Places" is vague and not used elsewhere on Wikipedia. User:Namiba 20:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The main issue is some of the items aren't "buildings and structures" for example a lake, a creek, arboretum, garden so what category or categories should they go under? Erp (talk) 21:35, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 20:38, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All categories contain just the two season categories that overlap with that year. Merge to YYYY in Australian sport and YYYY in baseball. Not enough content per year to warrant a separate category. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:33, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: delete/merge, redundant category layer for historical people who can be categorized by century, and there are too few articles about prehistoric individual people to keep separate categories.

Propose renaming

Category:L-type stars

[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 Timrollpickering (talk) 13:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Calling brown dwarfs "stars" is not semantically accurate, considering that they're classified separately from stars for their lack of hydrogen fusion. There is only one instance of a proper star that's considered spectral class L (V838 Monocerotis), but that's only an unusual circumstance. The M-class spectral type has two categories for Category:M-type stars and Category:M-type brown dwarfs, so the L-class spectral type should be split similarly to accommodate these two types of objects.

Category:Y-type stars

[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 Timrollpickering (talk) 09:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Calling brown dwarfs "stars" is not semantically accurate, considering that they're classified separately from stars for their lack of hydrogen fusion. Furthermore, calling Y-type brown dwarfs "stars" is even less accurate considering that they straddle the mass line between planets and brown dwarfs. Nrco0e (talk) 16:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship

[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 to Category:Women's Twenty20 cricket international competitions. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:06, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only 3 articles, and the 2013 event wasn't a Twenty20 tournament, so shouldn't be in this category, leaving only 2 valid articles (and no evidence that this tournament will be run on multiple future occasions to generate enough articles for a separate category) Joseph2302 (talk) 16:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Cricket at the Asian Games – Women's tournament

[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: Delete Timrollpickering (talk) 09:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need for a separate category for the women's tournaments at this games. Whilst there are separate, short article about the women's events in 2010, 2014 and 2022/2023, there's no reason why these couldn't be in the parent category Joseph2302 (talk) 16:29, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say that you had emptied it, Joseph2302, according to the script I used, it only held a template that was removed by another editor. Of course, the script doesn't indicate any contents that have been deleted so the category might have held other pages that have since been deleted. But it's empty now. Liz Read! Talk! 18:41, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Test cricket competitions. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:07, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, only 2 instances of this tournament ever, meaning there will never be more than 3 articles in this category. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:25, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 12:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is an empty redundant category. There is already a category Category:Businesswomen from Gujarat.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete, emptied by creator so G7 applies.– Fayenatic London 12:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories should be deleted because: (1) it is redundant: there is already a Category:Businesspeople from Gujarat, and (2) "Buisnesman" is a typographical error for Businessman or Businessmen. -- Toddy1 (talk) 09:22, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Oculi: There is a Category:Businesswomen from Gujarat, which is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Businesspeople from Gujarat. I do not know whether Category:Businessman from Gujarat should be deleted or whether it would be better to make it a non-diffusing subcategory.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:01, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. bibliomaniac15 00:08, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only three children. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep 3 is generally seen as acceptable for wives and children categories of notable persons. Pretty standard. And in this case two of the items have their own categories which are included.★Trekker (talk) 11:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree. I have been responsible for creating many of the first hundred (or so) "Family of", "Children of" and "Wives of" categories as well as subsequent category trees and it has always been standard to keep "Children of" and "Wives of" separate if there are at least three items (and in this case there are the sub-categories as well) I have been involved in several of these deletion discussions before and I stand by the consensus of those that three is enough.★Trekker (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This seems to be "coastal provinces of Nigeria", but only some of them are included. It doesn't seem necessary on Rivers State or anything else. Walt Yoder (talk) 03:49, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
