- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection under EGRS SMasonGarrison 23:45, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:30, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:12, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. If there is a Category:LGBTQ physicians, then why wouldn’t there be a Category:LGBTQ nurses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuhin (talk • contribs)
- Delete per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 13:22, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete; also, not needed for just one person. LGBTQness doesn't intersect with nursing in the same manner that it intersects with doctoring, because nurses and doctors don't do the same thing and thus LGBTQness doesn't impact doctors' and nurses' work in the same way, so the WP:WAX argument above isn't relevant.

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:21st-century Bangladeshi scholars. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:35, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer. SMasonGarrison 23:42, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison how is this redundant? Tuhin (talk) 17:02, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- When you created it it was extremely underpopulated. SMasonGarrison 02:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison how is this redundant? Tuhin (talk) 17:02, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with redundancy, but merge to Category:21st-century Bangladeshi scholars. The latter may be nominated for merging too, but that deserves a separate discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per Marcocapelle. -- Just N. (talk) 13:14, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Bangladeshi Hafez of Quran to Category:Bangladeshi Muslims
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining SMasonGarrison 23:39, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Bangladeshi Quran reciters, it is actually defining for the articles in this category but I do not think that we need both a reciters and a Hafez category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:20, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- keep Smasongarrison Hafiz is a person who has memorized the Quran. and Qāriʾ is a person who recites the Quran with the proper rules of recitation.These 2 categories are different.Md Joni Hossain (talk) 19:42, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- I'm fine with the alternative merge. Perhaps we can turn Hafez of Quran into a broader category that's not just limited to Bangladeshi nationals? SMasonGarrison 22:35, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- About the latter: no, see the discussion about Category:People who memorized the Quran. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 17:37, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Pentagram partners to Category:Pentagram (design firm) partners
- Nominator's rationale: This name needs some kind of disambiguation, assuming this firm is notable. The current name is fairly ambiguous. SMasonGarrison 23:35, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rename, also per article title Pentagram (design firm). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:22, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 13:36, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: procedural keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:37, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Bahnhofplatz, Zürich to Category:Bahnhofplatz, Zurich, per the other categories in Category:Squares in Zurich. The Zurich article was moved from "Zürich" twelve months ago. Seasider53 (talk) 23:31, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural oppose, article Bahnhofplatz, Zürich should be renamed first, then the category can follow. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 17:38, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Fictional male soldiers to Category:Fictional soldiers
- Nominator's rationale: Unlike female soldiers, there is nothing special or defining about a male soldier. It does not merit its own separate subcategory and fails WP:OCEGRS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:48, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:24, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Italian Expressionist writers to Category:Expressionist writers
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This category is extremely underpopulated, even after I attempted to find additional writers to add to it. SMasonGarrison 15:35, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:56, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Category:People of Mughal descent doesn't exist. Merge to relevant target SMasonGarrison 14:59, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Just delete, there is no clear indication that ancestors of these people migrated from one country to another. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:00, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- equally fine. I'll check to make sure everyone has a Bangladeshi parent category. SMasonGarrison 23:38, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

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: Upmerge to Category:MSPaint (band) albums and some other categories. I'm going to tell the bot only to do that merge, and let editors add appropriate genre categories to that one article boldly rather than trying to force a consensus here on a normal editing matter where there really isn't one. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:35, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:MSPAINT (band) EPs to Category:MSPaint (band) albums
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary additional layer for a category tree with only two articles. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 02:13, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it also be merged to some EP parent categories? Marcocapelle (talk) 04:57, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, whichever apply. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 18:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 13:17, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note that the proposed target was moved to Category:MSPaint (band) albums Ymblanter (talk) 14:05, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- That move was by my speedy request, and I forgot to update it here so thank you for pointing it out. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 18:30, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note that the proposed target was moved to Category:MSPaint (band) albums Ymblanter (talk) 14:05, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- So, upmerge to MSPaint (band) albums, Hardcore punk EPs, Post-hardcore EPs, and Rap rock EPs? — Qwerfjkltalk 17:46, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rap rock was unsourced in the EP article so not that. Looks like the categories which apply to synth-punk should be electronic rock EPs and punk rock EPs. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:50, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

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: keep. No prejudice against a broader nomination on Deaths from prostate cancer. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Not relevant Historyexpert2 (talk) 02:11, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Not relevant to what? Seems like a totally reasonable subcat to me given the number of articles in it. Worth keeping in mind that its two parent cats have 125 and 985 articles respectively, so there's valuable diffusion being done here. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 02:52, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. Cause of death is defining for cancers. And this category serves a clear purpose for diffusing as QuietHere notes. SMasonGarrison 03:27, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Would like to clarify that I also oppose, unless @Historyexpert2 has a clearer explanation than that which Marcocapelle refuted below. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 18:31, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

- Maybe nominator means that prostate cancer is a too common cause of death to categorize by, then they may have a point. But why they only nominate California is beyond my imagination. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:01, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Historyexpert2 (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Do not create categories that intersect a particular topic (such as occupation, place of residence, or other such characteristics) with an ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, unless that combination is itself recognized as a defining topic that has already been established (in reliable sources showing substantial existing research specific to the topic), as academically or culturally significant in its own right. Historyexpert2 (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- But the discussion is not about ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability, is it? Marcocapelle (talk) 22:02, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Death and prostate cancer are both disabilities, so in particular about "ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability," Historyexpert2 (talk) 02:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
- Death is not a disability and this is about causes of death. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:35, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Historyexpert2 (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think common causes of death pulled from obituaries are defining for biographies, but I'm not sure why California would be treated differently. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:35, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
