NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Purges murder in fiction
- Propose deleting Category:Purges murder in fiction - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Purges murder in fiction - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Odd naming and contains only two films. It is also very similar to and , and just too specific in general. Sandrobost (talk) 23:37, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:iOS (Apple)
- Propose renaming Category:iOS (Apple) to Category:iOS
- Nominator's rationale: per main article, iOS.89.139.68.161 (talk) 22:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:Songs written by Jedward
- Propose deleting Category:Songs written by Jedward - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Songs written by Jedward - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: We do not do songwriters by band name - which is the marketing term used to sell records. Members of a band can change, but the songwriting credits do not. Here is a sample previous discussion which also refers to other Discussions. Richhoncho (talk) 16:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:Romani people and Romanipen in Romania
- Propose merging Category:Romani people and Romanipen in Romania to Category:Romani in Romania
- Nominator's rationale: Romanipen (a redirect to Romani society and culture#Romanipen) is defined (in short) as Romani spirit, culture, law, being a Romani, a set of Romani strains. Therefore, these categories seem to serve exactly the same purpose and refer to exactly the same ethnic and cultural group. Note that Category:Romanian Romani people (for individual people) is not affected by this nomination. Place Clichy (talk) 14:20, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Metropolitan boroughs
- Please discuss at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 September 10#Metropolitan boroughs, this was done over 2 days as there were so many categories. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:23, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:Foster Farms Bowl
- Propose renaming Category:Foster Farms Bowl to Category:San Francisco Bowl
- Nominator's rationale: The game has been renamed to the San Francisco Bowl, no longer known as Foster Farms Bowl. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 12:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support. As a matter of fact, why is a discussion even needed? You could have just been bold, created the new San Francisco Bowl category yourself, and moved all the pages there. Tom Danson (talk) 15:35, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Tom Danson: I did that for the Cheez-It bowl category, but I wasn't sure if that was frowned upon. I will do that with the champion seasons subcategory. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:09, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- Support per nomination. @PCN02WPS: the subcategory Category:Foster Farms Bowl champion seasons should be similarly renamed. Jweiss11 (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
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. Category:Free Linux distributions is just too linguistically ambiguous, whereas Category:Free software only Linux distributions is much more clear a title. - 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)
- Merge per nom. The rest of the category (subcat Princes of Galilee and article Toron) can very well fit in [[:Category:Galilee}} and do not fit in other parent categories. Place Clichy (talk) 14:35, 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)
