*'''Suppport''' mergers of [[:Category:Categories by parameter]], [[:Category:Categories by category]] and [[:Category:Categories by parametric categorization]]. '''Neutral''' for the topical, periodical and regional mergers. Currently by parameter by category and by parametric categorization have the same purpose of being the root of the same tree. There is no real distinction between them and they should be merged to avoid confusion and improve navigation. For the others I'm unsure. On the one hand the tree is so large some sort of subcategories are needed on the other it's not intuitive what's in it and what's not making a larger category potentially making it easier to find what you're looking for. I think an overwhelming restructuring of the tree is required and this will probably require a lot of CfDs. Perhaps an upmerge of these three, and maybe some more and then combining related categories together in subsequent discussions could be a good way forward? ‑‑[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 18:53, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

* '''Delete [[:Category: Categories by category]].''' totally recursive.

*: '''Reinstate [[:Category:Categories by parameter]]. makes much more sense.

*: '''There is no reason''' to exclude categories for regions, topics, or time periods from [[:Category: Categories by parameter]]. --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 02:52, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' I'm not sure what exactly is going on but several of these categories (listed above) have just been emptied before this discussion has been closed. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 02:38, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

**For the record, Liz' comment refers to a [[Wikipedia:Non-admin closure|non-admin closure]] by a participant, which was reverted by JJMC89. The first two nominated categories were deleted on 6 Nov, see LMatt's initial comments; the others are not currently empty. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 10:39, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

* '''Support nomination''', the split has been made based on trivial characteristics. (I notice that my alt proposal to delete the categories does not get support, and merging is a next best option.) [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 09:00, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
