July 1

Category:Persecution by ethnic group

Nominator's rationale: As well as being poorly-named and ambiguous, this category is also redundant to its parent, Category:Ethnic persecution, which can serve perfectly well as the direct parent for all of the subcategories. Anomalous+0 (talk) 22:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Abdullah Öcalan

Nominator's rationale: Not enough here to warrant a category: only main article + 1 other article & one sub-cat. Merging not needed or appropriate. Anomalous+0 (talk) 22:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sumo people from Kagawa prefecture

Nominator's rationale: I created Category:Sumo people from Kagawa Prefecture, not realizing that this category existed. "Prefecture" should be capitalized, therefore this category should be deleted. Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Basshunter

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON --woodensuperman 13:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Woodensuperman: I added redirect. Eurohunter (talk) 15:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's a redirect to the eponymous article. I really think we can do without this category. --woodensuperman 15:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Silver Crosses of the Virtuti Militari

Nominator's rationale: Clarification this category is for recipients, not for crosses... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gold Crosses of the Virtuti Militari

Nominator's rationale: Clarification this category is for recipients, not for crosses... . Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lords of Balaguer

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, this is a secondary title of crown princes and crown princesses of Spain. None of the people in these categories are known for active rulership of Balaguer. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orders of knighthood

Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency with the top Category:Chivalric orders. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Atlantic tropical cyclones that slowed or stalled over land

Nominator's rationale: This category is ill-defined and very subjective as there are a lot of systems that have slowed or stalled over land and no formal classifications. In fact I would argue that most systems that impact the United States slow down or stall over land. Jason Rees (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support deletion – agree with the nominator that the category is ill-defined. While I understand the general premise, numerous storms could be included here given the ambiguity of "slowing down", inevitably including a lot of storms that do not produce large rainfall totals and flooding as noted on the category page. A wide-range of systems would be included simply because the database of storms serendipitously happens to have a point where a storm's forward motion briefly dropped by a hair for an hour. Since many of the storms in the historical record do not have a precise record of their speed, it seems inevitable that inclusion into this category would run into original research. As an aside, I note the following articles in the category: Hurricane Klaus, which never made landfall; and Tropical Storm Hanna (2002), which slowed down by 2 mi/h for only a six hour period.
