August 17

Category:People from Amorium

• Propose deleting Category:People from Amorium - Template:Lc1
  

Nominator's rationale: Typical WP:SMALLCAT. Only three people are known to have come from the city. Constantine ✍ 11:27, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Category:Free Linux distributions

• Propose deleting Category:Free Linux distributions - Template:Lc1
  

Nominator's rationale: "Free" is ambiguous as most Linux distributions are free of charge, there is only one subcategory: Free software only Linux distributions and that being more specific, this category obviously isn't needed. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 08:56, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Category:Housing struggles in South Africa

• Propose merging Category:Housing struggles in South Africa to Category:Housing in South Africa

Nominator's rationale: upmerge, Category:Housing by country is an established tree, while Category:Housing struggles by country is not. It is also not super clear what "struggles" means. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Category:Esperanto by country

• Propose deleting Category:Esperanto by country
• Propose deleting Category:Esperanto in Slovakia
• Propose deleting Category:Esperanto in the Czech Republic

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the Czech and Slovak categories together contain only two articles plus each a subcategory. No need to merge, the two articles are already in Category:Esperanto meetings. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:17, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

• Keep and populate. I have used Petscan to add UK and US categories and to find more articles for the 2 listed. 'By country' subcats are not controversial (and interesting in this case). Oculi (talk) 07:52, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
• Keep Secoding above. Categories for other countries can be added and SK and CZ can be populated. Per country divisions are usual. Thank you for the note, Marcocapelle.--Jetam2 (talk) 10:30, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
