Category:Persecution by ethnic group
- Propose merging Category:Persecution by ethnic group to Category:Ethnic persecution
- 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)
- Merge - this is one of user:Stefanomione's eternal rocks: "6967 categories still standing as eternal rocks in the ephemeral Wikipedia stream". Make it 6966. Oculi (talk) 00:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
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)
- Delete per WP:OCEPON. --woodensuperman 08:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
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)
- Category has been emptied and since the creator is asking for deletion, I'll speedy this. Liz Read! Talk! 03:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Category:Basshunter
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON --woodensuperman 13:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Woodensuperman: I added redirect. Eurohunter (talk) 15:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- That's a redirect to the eponymous article. I really think we can do without this category. --woodensuperman 15:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom. We can do without the category, we can also do without the redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
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)
- Support per nom.--Darwinek (talk) 23:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

- Support per nom.--Darwinek (talk) 23:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
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)
Orders of knighthood
- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood by country to Category:Chivalric orders by country

- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood of Australia to Category:Chivalric orders of Australia
- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood of Barbados to Category:Chivalric orders of Barbados
- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood of Malaysia to Category:Chivalric orders of Malaysia
- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood of Thailand to Category:Chivalric orders of Thailand
- Propose renaming Category:Recipients of orders of knighthood to Category:Members of chivalric orders
- Propose renaming Category:Protestant orders of knighthood to Category:Protestant chivalric orders over redirect
- Propose renaming Category:Orders of knighthood for women to Category:Chivalric orders for women
- Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency with the top Category:Chivalric orders. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
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)
- 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.
