NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Ror
- Nominator's rationale: I just can't see this caste category going anywhere. All it contains is the article about the caste itself, and that is very poor. Sitush (talk) 14:12, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Category:Christianity in Pakistan by administrative unit
- Nominator's rationale: upmerge, there is no need for a container category layer like this in a country that has a small Christian minority who are mainly concentrated in one administrative unit (namely Punjab). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Category:Prince-Bishops of the Holy Roman Empire
- Propose renaming Category:Prince-Bishops of the Holy Roman Empire to Category:Prince-Bishops in the Holy Roman Empire
- Propose renaming Category:Prince-Bishops of Switzerland to Category:Prince-Bishops in Switzerland
- Nominator's rationale: rename for clarification, the current names may wrongly suggest that the entire Holy Roman Empire, and entire Switzerland, were a prince-bishopric. Perhaps the parent categories "Prince-bishoprics of" should also be nominated to "Prince-bishoprics in" but that is probably less needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Category:Festivals in Former Yugoslavia
- Nominator's rationale: Everything here is already properly categorized as being in Serbia or Bosnia or Croatia or Kosovo or Montenegro as it is, so categorizing them for the country they used to be in alongside that is simply redundant and unnecessary. Bearcat (talk) 05:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As someone who edits a lot of ex-Yugoslavian articles, I don't think it's redundant at all, and I think it would be helpful to have a category which distinguishes Yugoslavia from the modern-day countries. The problem with these categories is they include a lot of events which didn't actually take place in Yugoslavia. Perhaps a bot could de-categorise every event that began after the 1990s instead?

- Merge and rename respectively to Category:Festivals in Yugoslavia and Category:Electronic music festivals in Yugoslavia. We do not add "former" to former countries' categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- And agree with SportingFlyer that the category requires some purging. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
