editCategory:Russian nuclear test sites
edit- 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: rename (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 17:51, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Russian nuclear test sites to Category:Soviet nuclear test sites
- Nominator's rationale: All the parent cats are for the Soviet Union. Additionally, the category is not about nuclear sites in Russia, it’s about nuclear sites run by Russia (or the Soviet Union). Hence, why some of the articles in the category are located in Kazakhstan. And we have Category:Nuclear test sites in Kazakhstan. And categories on other wikis including the Russian and French have this title. Thepharoah17 (talk) 23:32, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Alternatively, Nuclear test sites in the Soviet Union also seems fine to align with the wording of the Kazakhstan category. NLeeuw (talk) 21:31, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- Support If all of them are indeed about the Soviet Union then renaming would be fine. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 13:30, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:52, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Should also be upmerged with Maharashtra politician stubs, since there is only one mainspace article in Maharashtra All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen politician stubs - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 17:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Dual merge for now per nom, but ultimately Category:All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen politician stubs should be deleted because it is also badly underpopulated. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 17:54, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON. The two subcategories are interlinked and combined with their content provide sufficient navigation amongst the topic's related articles. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:32, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, the albums and songs subcategories suffice and are already interlinked. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:18, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 17:56, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Paintings by Marthe Donas to Category:Images of paintings
- Nominator's rationale: Subcats of Paintings by artist are predominantly for articles as opposed to files, but this has zero articles, only an image file. – Fayenatic London 16:03, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Home video companies by year of establishment (0)
- Nominator's rationale: Each of these categories only has 1-4 pages; not enough to justify separating them from the parent category.

Category:Serbo-Croatian language
edit- 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: rename (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 18:00, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Serbo-Croatian language to Category:Serbo-Croatian
- Nominator's rationale: The main article is called Serbo-Croatian, and it seems like this adjective is not ambiguous (it primarily refers to the language). Currently, Category:Serbo-Croatian is a soft redirect to Category:Serbo-Croatian language. Based on that, I suggest renaming. – Aca (talk) 12:22, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Rename, just Serbo-Croatian does not seem ambiguous. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:25, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy rename per WP:C2D. NLeeuw (talk) 21:42, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 18:01, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only a single subcategory and no articles. It is already in a subcategory of Category:Works impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and I don't think it belongs in Category:Unreleased works. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:02, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Category:Giraffes
edit- 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: split. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:02, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Giraffes to Category:Giraffes and Category:Giraffidae
- Propose splitting Category:Prehistoric giraffes to Category:Prehistoric giraffes and Category:Prehistoric Giraffidae
- Nominator's rationale: This category improperly combines a genus (Giraffa, the giraffes) with a non-monotypic family (Giraffidae). It contains two articles about other Giraffidae: the okapi and Sivatheriinae. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:52, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Split, as creator. Currently stunned that I created this category, by the way. Mike Selinker (talk) 08:05, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 18:03, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only contents are the main article, Category:Southern constellations, and category:Astronomy in Oceania (which is incorrect – the only place where the northern sky is completely invisible is at the South Pole). The only parent is Category:Hemispheres, itself at CfD –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:25, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, Category:Southern constellations suffices. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: We do not need to diffuse these categories by century. See Talk for more specifics about what I was proposing SMasonGarrison 02:39, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Some of these categories are empty. Liz Read! Talk! 03:50, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
