- The result of the discussion was: delete. I will place this category on the manual page to allow someone to create a list. MER-C 09:49, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:NONDEFINING. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:24, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- I created this category. Tappan (with his brother) was the leading philanthropist in the United States between 1820 and 1837. He helped a lot of things which are obscure yet well-regarded today. It's useful to see all his many philanthropic activities together. deisenbe (talk) 19:27, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment A list of his major contributions might be more appropriate.★Trekker (talk) 19:33, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Photo sharing
- 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: merge to Category:Image sharing websites. MER-C 10:04, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Photo sharing to Category:Image hosting
- Nominator's rationale: Image sharing is the anchor article. It doesnt appear that there is intended to be a distinction. Rathfelder (talk) 16:33, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support merging the two categories, nearly all articles in both categories are about image sharing websites, so I can well imagine Category:Image sharing websites as an alternative target. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- That sounds clearer. Lets merge both into Category:Image sharing websites.Rathfelder (talk) 09:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support: Image hosting seems to be the slightly broader term. flowing dreams (talk page) 09:57, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, Category:Image hosting has meanwhile been tagged as well, it leads via this discussion back to here. The two nominations should be closed in conjunction. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:33, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Humor websites
- Propose merging Category:Humor websites to Category:Comedy websites
- Nominator's rationale: Maybe I'm missing the joke, but I dont see a difference. Rathfelder (talk) 16:26, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Merge or reverse merge, based on the articles in both categories I cannot tell the difference either. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support: They seem to be synonym for the purpose of this context. flowing dreams (talk page) 09:58, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Mergeand take care to merge the two Wikidata items https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8527575 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7287978. – Fayenatic London 21:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)- I've put all the articles into subcategories of Comedy websites, so if agreed it should be deleted, not merged. But I dont know how to merge Wikidata items. Rathfelder (talk) 22:56, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Rathfelder: Thanks – In that case, delete. Merging Wikidata is quite easy: in Wikidata, you should see a "More" drop-down menu at the top, which includes "Merge with…". Before using it, you have to delete any clashing items, i.e. in this case just the English Wikipedia link to Category:Humor websites. – Fayenatic London 08:21, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 09:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Maximals (Transformers) to Category:Maximals
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary disambiguation. There is no other category called "Maximals" on Wikipedia. JIP | Talk 12:38, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support. Unnecessary disambiguation. Dimadick (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Template:Korea-museum-stub
- 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: delete. MER-C 10:11, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Template is obsolete and unused, as all Korean museums are either in North or South Korea and as such all the stub articles use either {{SouthKorea-museum-stub}} or {{NorthKorea-museum-stub}} (PS: for those of you querying it, yes, it's a template, but stub templates are dealt with at CFD) Grutness...wha? 10:59, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:English-language podcasts
Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 October 19#Category:English-language podcasts
Category:Podcasts by language
- Nominator's rationale: 2 subcats. English language, 250 articles. Russian 1 Rathfelder (talk) 10:56, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- This should (only) be deleted if the nomination above and the nomination below result in a deletion. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:28, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment It seems unlikely to me that Wikipedia only has one single article about a non-English language podcast. That can't be possible right? I would have assumed we would have at least a few articles about Spanish language podcasts or something.★Trekker (talk) 15:42, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Per the scheme of media by language. Why are podcasts different from films or books? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:53, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Because podcasts, like websites, are new. Rathfelder (talk) 16:15, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Category:Russian-language podcasts
- Nominator's rationale: only 1 article Rathfelder (talk) 10:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:25, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:SMALLCAT. Additionally, procedural close since the entire scheme of podcasts by language is proposed for deletion but they aren't all tagged together. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- The reasons for deletion are different so it is entirely valid to nominate the two siblings separately. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 09:48, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: POV classification, not based on objective criteria, see Talk page for this category. Minorities observer (talk) 07:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support per WP:EGRS, we also do not have a Category:Muslim politicians. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:18, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: procedural close. Meanwhile the category has already been deleted. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 15:35, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Made this category in error when was intending to create Category:Inuit community governments in Newfoundland and Labrador. Hwy43 (talk) 05:28, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Valis series
- 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: rename. MER-C 10:13, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Valis series to Category:Valis (video game series)
- Nominator's rationale: Per the main article, Valis (video game series). The current title is ambiguous, as there is also Valis (novel series). This is not eligible for speedy as the main article was moved recently without prior discussion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:19, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Massive support We should move almost every video game category and navbox honestly, almost all of them have the outdated and ambiguous "___ series" scheme.★Trekker (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Professional wrestling navigational boxes named after people
- Propose renaming Category:Professional wrestling navigational boxes named after people to Category:Professional wrestler navigational boxes (1st choice) or Category:Professional wrestling people navigational boxes (2nd choice)
- Nominator's rationale: The contents of this category are not just navboxes named after people, but navboxes about people. Compare to Category:Actor navigational boxes, instead of Category:Performing arts navigational boxes named after people. All 12 individuals in this category are professional wrestlers, but some also held other roles (e.g. promoter, etc.), so a more generic title could be appropriate. (Courtesy pinging the category's creator, User:*Treker) -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support Rationale makes sense to me.★Trekker (talk) 15:40, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Category:Non-free images for NFUR review
- Nominator's rationale: For consistency with Category:Wikipedia non-free files and Category:Wikipedia non-free files with NFUR stated (renamed at CfD), and because not all pages in this category are images—some are audio or video files. The category is populated by multiple non-free file copyright templates. -- Black Falcon (talk) 01:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment Can't Category:Non-free images for NFUR review just be a child category of Category:Wikipedia non-free files for NFUR review?★Trekker (talk) 19:36, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Potentially, if there was a way for a template to recognize the file extension (e.g., ".jpg" versus ".ogg"), but it would take a more skilled template editor than I to make that happen. Right now, however, this category contains a mix of images and other file types. I could start a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) if you would like. -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:39, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- I would appreciate that.★Trekker (talk) 07:38, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
