Category:War (U.S. band)
-
- Nominator's rationale: War (band) was renamed by request to War (U.S. band) because of War (Swedish band). Convention is to use "American" not "U.S." when disambiguating band names (e.g. Anthrax (American band)), so I moved the article to War (American band). Due to the recent name change, category renaming doesn't qualify for speedy. Requesting move of these categories to match article name and naming conventions mentioned herein. Thanks.

Category:Flora of the Middle East
- Nominator's rationale: The Middle East is not a good region to categorise plants by as it is transcontinental (it includes Egypt which is mostly in Africa) and it is not a region in the WGSRPD scheme which the Plants Wikiproject has adopted. For info: The WGSRPD categories include Category:Flora of the Arabian Peninsula and Category:Flora of Western Asia.
- Note: this category was created by the now blocked User:Look2See1. In the longer term the equivalent fauna/fungi/biota categories could also be deleted for similar reasons, but the argument for deleting the flora one is stronger. DexDor (talk) 21:36, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Classes of the Order of the Pleiades (Iran)
- Nominator's rationale: Parent Category:Recipients of the Order of the Pleiades (Iran) uses more clear and encyclopedic wording, so the subcats should follow suit. Whether the class numbers should be spelled out is TBD. Brandmeistertalk 20:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Districts of Balochistan Province
- Nominator's rationale: A recently created category that duplicates Category:Districts of Balochistan, Pakistan. – Uanfala (talk) 14:18, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Cold War II
- Nominator's rationale: This category is used for events relating to Russian–US tensions. However, the whole article "Cold War II" (diff) currently does not mention any events categorized as part of "Cold War II". Also, very few or no reliable sources mention the connection between "Cold War II" and the categorized events, like "Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation", "Group of Two" (which is treated as a mere "see also" link in the parent article) and war in Donbass. The "Cold War II" article briefly mentions the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal but not in substantial detail and does not connect the term and the event. I fear that the category would be misused to (mis)categorize other events that no reliable sources would connect to. George Ho (talk) 07:17, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, almost nothing in this category is specifically about the tensions between Russia and the US. There is some content about Russian foreign policy and there is some other content about American (or NATO) foreign policy, but linking any of that to Cold War II remains a matter of subjective interpretation.

Category:Textile mills in Saratoga County, New York
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCLOCATION
- Much of the Mohawk River is almost lined with former mill sites, including the stretch through Saratoga County, so there may be growth potential here. But we don't categorize any other US mills by county, these mills are defined by river not county, and the expanded category could pull a number of articles from Category:Textile mills in the United States including Globe Woolen Company Mills, Harmony Mills, West Brothers Knitting Company and Wild's Mill Complex. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:28, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Lists of fictional gangs
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT and WP:SMALLCAT
- We have one list article for fictional gangs unsurprisingly named List of fictional gangs and that's the only thing in this narrow category. That article is already well categorized under Category:Fictional gangs, Category:Lists of fictional organizations and Category:Lists of gangs and the category has limited room for growth. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Male guitarists
- Nominator's rationale: Guitarists aren't defined by their gender. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 02:24, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
