January 5

Category:I/O Chips

Nominator's rationale: "Chips" is a common noun and shouldn't be capitalized per WP:Categorization#Naming conventions. 99Electrons (talk) 21:28, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:FPGA device

Nominator's rationale: The category's title is not the plural of the topic; the inclusion of "device" does not serve any purpose and makes the title unnecessary long. 99Electrons (talk) 21:26, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:MOS Integrated Circuits

Nominator's rationale: MOS requires disambiguation from MOSFET-based ICs. Integrated circuit is also not a proper noun and shouldn't be capitalized. 99Electrons (talk) 21:13, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:British princesses by marriage

Nominator's rationale: To include people like Wallis Simpson who were married to British princes but not a princess themselves. Consistency with Category:Husbands of British princesses. DrKay (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Archbishops of Western Europe

Nominator's rationale: rename, more in line with article Archdiocese of Russian Orthodox churches in Western Europe and less ambiguous than current title. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:44, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scottish expatriate sportspeople in England

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:G7. Created in error by me as part of an AWB run while diffusing expatriate sportspeople. Thanks for spotting it, @EchetusXe. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The parent category states "This category should only list Scottish people in England prior to the Acts of Union 1707". There will not be many, if any, sportspeople from this period and the category is currently empty EchetusXe 15:35, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Dutch academic researchers

Nominator's rationale: This is the only nationality subcategory of Category:Researchers. There is a well populated category tree of academics. Academics are not always researchers, but most of them are, and there are subcats for administrators. Many of these articles are about people who are notable for reasons other than their academic research. Rathfelder (talk) 14:35, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Stadiums in St. Louis

Nominator's rationale: Per the description at Category:Stadiums we don't categorise stadiums by geography, it's done via the Category:Sports venues hierarchy, and there's already an extensive set of categories at Category:Sports venues in St. Louis Le Deluge (talk) 12:15, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Miniature wargames

Nominator's rationale: Duplicates the extensive Category:Miniatures games hierarchy, which is a daughter of Category:Wargames Le Deluge (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Churches by city (Europe, dual merge)

more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: dual merge per WP:SMALLCAT, the above categories only contain 1 and/or 1 subcategory. See also this earlier nomination which is still open. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:18, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:SMALLCAT does not apply to all categories which are currently small. It is for cats which "by their very definition, will never have more than a few members, unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme".
The nom offers no explanation of why there there might not be more notable churches in these cities. e.g., is @Marcocapelle really claiming that the ancient city of Antwerp doesn't have more notable churches? And what about Trier, a city dating back to Roman times where Trier#Main_sights lists five churches? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:32, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Antwerp and Trier are typically cities with a large Roman Catholic subcategory and very few other churches. For navigation it is more efficient to go straight from Buildings and structures to Roman Catholic churches instead of needing to pass a nearly empty Churches category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, WP:SMALLCAT provides two contradictory criteria, in the second line it says "no realistic potential for growth" which is in my view considerably more relaxing than "by their very definition". On another day we may have a discussion about the guideline itself. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Churches by city (Europe, 1 merge target)

more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, the above categories only contain 1 and/or 1 subcategory. In these cases a second merge target "churches in country" or "churches in region" has not been specified because the content is already in the tree of it. For example, the content of Category:Churches in Bamberg is already included in Category:Roman Catholic churches in Bavaria so it does not require merging to Category:Churches in Bavaria.
