May 8

Loughs of Northern Ireland

Propose deleting:

Nominator's rationale: Duplicates of Category:Lakes of Northern Ireland and its subcats; e.g. Category:Loughs of County Tyrone‎ duplicates Category:Lakes of County Tyrone‎.

Northern Ireland is a subcat of both UK and Ireland and in each case the convention is "lakes": Category:Lakes of the United Kingdom by country & Category:Lakes of Ireland. This "loughs" set is parented in neither, which may be why the duplication happened.

I have already checked that all pages are in the corresponding lakes category, so no need to merge. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:43, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional ice planets

Propose merging Category:Fictional ice planets to Category:Fictional terrestrial planets

Nominator's rationale: I strongly suspect that this category cannot grow any larger, though I didn’t look as thoroughly as last time. One of these, Gethen, is not truly an ice planet any more than our Earth is/has been. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 20:21, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Given the low article count, there is no need to subcategorise from the parent at the moment IMO. SFB 21:21, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Double upmerge, also with Category:Ice planets in fiction. Grutness...wha? 02:16, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:HC Ambri-Piotta players

Propose renaming Category:HC Ambri-Piotta players to Category:HC Ambrì-Piotta players

Nominator's rationale: article name is HC Ambrì-Piotta Joeykai (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support as speedy rename to match parent article. SFB 21:22, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rayne Red Sox

Propose deleting Category:Rayne Red Sox - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Category is for a defunct team that existed for just one year and whose article page is a redirect. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Meteorological phenomena

Propose merging Category:Meteorological phenomena to Category:Basic meteorological concepts and phenomena

Nominator's rationale: We shouldn't have "meteorological phenomena" in two categories. We should either merge Category:Meteorological phenomena into Category:Basic meteorological concepts and phenomena, or move meteorological phenomena from the latter to the former, and make the latter just ~~Category:Basic meteorological concepts~~ Category:Meteorological concepts. Srleffler (talk) 01:46, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support rescope (i.e., second option) of latter category to just Category:Meteorological concepts. Grutness...wha? 02:03, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merge the measurable natural phenomena should remain in "Meteorological phenomena" as a phenomenon is a very specific type of concept. Non-phenomena should be grouped and renamed under Category:Meteorological concepts – I'm not sure what the addition of "basic" is doing here, especially as a non-"basic" parent does not exist.

- I agree. --Srleffler (talk) 01:52, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point. My comments amended accordingly. Grutness...wha? 01:53, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
