August 17

NEW NOMINATIONS

1915 in German South West Africa

Nominator's rationale: German South West Africa was invaded in 1914. This category contains the final battles; although the last German commander only capitulated in July 1915, it will be helpful and sufficiently accurate to use "South West Africa" from 1915 onwards. The disestablishments category contains only the former territory and its currency. – Fayenatic London 14:52, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Amorium

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

Category:Free Linux distributions

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)[reply]

Category:Housing struggles 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)[reply]

Category:Esperanto by country

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)[reply]
  • Keep and populate. I have used Petscan to add Germany, France, 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
