Category:Women by religion

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 08:48, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As per a previous discussion on English Wikipedia's inclusion of women based on religious affiliation, this category seems inappropriate. Unless users can agree to the creation of categories for women based on religious affiliation, this one should be removed. --Invokingvajras (talk) 20:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 08:49, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article in the category despite it existing since 2009. It is unlikely that others will be added in the future, so the category is unnecessary. Mike Peel (talk) 18:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Indian government districts in British Columbia

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Only one entry, and can never be expanded: per List of municipalities in British Columbia#Indian_government_districts, this is the only "Indian government district" in British Columbia. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:02, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, Hwy43, I am not seeing anything other an editor defending pointless smallcats which don't assist navigation. And per WP:CAT, categories exist to facilitate navigation, not to satisfy one editor's sense of neatness.
If that type of municipality has only one entry, the category doesn't help navigation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:35, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy(ish) rename. – Fayenatic London 11:33, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To expand the ambiguous acronym CCI, and for consistency with the parent, Category:Wikipedia copyright maintenance templates. (Courtesy notifying the category's creator, User:Moonriddengirl) -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:12, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete with manual replacement. MER-C 08:55, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Mobile-stub is more appropriate and the Android template has been used on I think very few articles. PencilmationFan999 (talk) 20:44, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Social care 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: nomination withdrawn. MER-C 17:03, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The legislation applies to both England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate systems. No articles that I can see relate solely to Wales. Rathfelder (talk) 19:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose straight rename (which would leave an E&W category under England categories). Suggest instead creating the E&W category, placing this category under it and recategorizing some articles up to the E&W level. DexDor (talk) 19:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I estimate that the E&W category would have about direct 15 articles/subcats (including some such as this which would be moved down from the UK category) and the England category would have about 35. That's not too small. DexDor (talk) 05:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've now created the target category (E&W) and moved some articles into it - not as many as I expected, but there are also several articles here that may also belong in it. The proposed rename would now be a merge, but any merge should also be to an England parent. DexDor (talk) 12:15, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Professional lawn mowers

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 08:49, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining category. The two articles in the category are Martin Bryant (a spree killer whose article has a brief mention of him having a lawn mowing business when he was 19) and Joel Rifkin (a serial killer whose article has a brief mention of him being a landscaper.

Category:The Bar-Kays albums

Nominator's rationale: Moved main article Bar-Kays per WP:THE since they seldom use "The" on their albums and such. Dicklyon (talk) 02:57, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Yes they did often drop the 'the' but they also used the 'the', they also dropped the hyphen too, does that mean we have to move it again? --Richhoncho (talk) 08:25, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
