NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Free Linux distributions
- Propose deleting Category:Free Linux distributions - Template:Lc1
- 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)

- Support, a category only containing one subcategory is not useful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Champion and Marcocapelle: shouldn't this be merged to some of the parents: Category:GNU Project, Category:GNU Project software, Category:Linux distributions?
- The sub-cat is already in the other parent, Category:Free software only operating systems. I also note that by Marcocapelle's rationale, that parent should be nominated for merger to its sole parent Category:Free software operating systems as it has no other content. If that is to happen, then do we need to keep the sub-cat Free software only Linux distributions, or should that be merged to the nominated category instead? – Fayenatic London 11:07, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
- With regard to the former, it should be merged to Category:Linux distributions, perhaps also to Category:GNU Project software, not to Category:GNU Project because that is the parent category of Category:GNU Project software. With regard to the latter, certainly agree with nominating Category:Free software only operating systems for the same reason as I support this nomination, while I am neutral about merging Free software only Linux distributions to Category:Free Linux distributions.

- Alternative nomination:
- Propose merging Category:Free software only Linux distributions to Category:Free Linux distributions - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Free software only operating systems - Template:Lc1
- I am adding this as a formal alternative nomination, hoping that this will clarify the options. – Fayenatic London 11:24, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support the original nomination to delete Category:Free Linux distributions, but retain Category:Free software only Linux distributions as a child category of Category:Linux distributions and Category:Free software operating systems. - Ahunt (talk) 11:37, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:A.S.D. Nuova Cassino 1924 players
- Nominator's rationale: The club had renamed to A.S.D. Cassino Calcio 1924, as well as according to the official name in the current official website https://cassinocalcio1924.it Matthew_hk tc 10:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:People associated with the Lockheed bribery scandals
- Propose deleting Category:People associated with the Lockheed bribery scandals - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:People associated with the Lockheed bribery scandals - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCASSOC. We usually categorize people based on conviction, not based on association. Possibly include the content of the category in a separate section of the Lockheed bribery scandals article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:Principality of Galilee
- Propose merging Category:Principality of Galilee to Category:Galilee
- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, the category only contains the eponymous article, a redirect and a subcategory. A full upmerge to all parents is not needed, the content is already in appropriate other Crusader categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:People from Bethania, North Carolina
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Small one-county community with just two entries. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
