Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 March 14#Category:Sex worker organisations in Finland. Option A: rename all using "based in". Option B: rename India, UK and US; upmerge the rest to all parents in each case, as they contain only one or two articles. – Fayenatic London 20:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated single-article categories. Merging to a disasters parent is not always necessary, articles are sometimes already in a disasters by country category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:29, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've gone ahead and created century categories for each continent (as well as UK and US). Many of the other continent decade categories can be nominated to be merged to century categories as well. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:12, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT and WP:NONDEFINING. This is an honorary roles, of which 4 people have ever held the role and only 2 have an article. Both are primarily known for other things, and this role is just a footnote in their career, not a defining categorisation Joseph2302 (talk) 14:33, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NOTDEFINING, almost all of the 7 people listed are notable for other roles, and the time in this office was of minimal significance in comparison to their more notable achievements Joseph2302 (talk) 14:30, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Subjective and selective criteria for inclusion. All articles are already in the appropriate subcategories so there is no need to merge. User:Namiba 11:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge to people from Montana A topic has to be notable to be a WP article in the first place. The articles included are a random smattering and omit many significant individuals . If other states have this category, they all should be similarly upmerged.Montanabw(talk) 14:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerging would result in unnecessary overlap. As I wrote above, all articles in this category are already appropriately subcategorized.--User:Namiba 14:22, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename and reparent. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 19:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These geological formations, which measure 165 and 188 meters respectively, are monumental in their significance but mere hills in comparison to their size. Therefore, referring to them as "mountains" in the category could be misleading. Kallmemel (talk) 08:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Lean oppose but not real strong feelings. If all other categories for similar landforms are titled “Mountains and hills” then renaming just this one is a poor idea. The distinctinction between a “mountain” and a “hill” is somewhat subjective and arbitrary, and absent a uniform definition, like 1000 feet pr something, a category gets into opinion. If there’s a standard (thinking of the film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain), then let’s follow it. But if we have general “Mountains and hills” categories in other places, best to stay consistent. Montanabw(talk) 14:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If the distinction between "mountain" and "hill" is somewhat subjective, (1) why have two distinct items for hill (Q54050) and mountain (Q8502). (2) there are categories with only hills. are those categories poor idea? Category:Hills of China, Category:Hills of Germany, Category:Hills of California, Category:Hills of the Philippines, Category:Hills of Berlin, Category:Hills of Australia, Category:Hills of Cheshire. Should these categories be changed to "Mountains and Hills of {place}"? Kallmemel (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As per WP:SMALLCAT. Only 1 entry and a rare ethnic category. LibStar (talk) 04:14, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. And if I'm not mistaken, "Hong Kong people" is supposed to mean he's a Hong Kong national, yes? Because the article seems to say the opposite which make that categorization inaccurate and the already present Category:Belgian people of Hong Kong descent the appropriate choice. Said article is also questionable regarding notability but my lack of knowledge of WP:NCYCLING makes it difficult to be certain. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:24, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 19:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING, WP:OCEGRS. This category doesn't fit any category tree. The point of Category:people by nationality is grouping individuals as nationals (citizens/subjects) of a particular state, regardless of their other traits. Their native language is not relevant, let alone which language family their native language belongs to. This is different from Category:Slavic people by ethnicity, which is a legitimate category. See also precedents such as Germanic people by occupation. (I note that this category was nominated for a merger a few months ago; that has nothing to do with the current nom).
