- The result of the discussion was: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 23:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Each governorate now has its own "Populated places in X Governorate" category making this much broader category obsolete as any article that would fit into this category would also fit into one of the more narrow categories. I have also gone through all the pages in this category to ensure ___location information is accurate and they are all in the appropriate governorate category.

- The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 23:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The school divisions of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Northwest Accreditation Commission and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools merged together to form one organization and that organization was eventually renamed Cognia. See also the history here[1] and the reference to "legacy agencies" here[2] Jahaza (talk) 21:36, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Support/Leave Category Redirect The accreditation is defining in an American context and this is just a truth in advertising. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:26, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to reflect the current situation with accreditations, but – unless the reader is familiar with Cognia – the new name has no obvious meaning. Cognia (education) doesn't currently help much. --Northernhenge (talk) 21:04, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per the above. Jahaza (talk) 21:36, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Combine With the nomination above. This category should be handled the same, whether I agree with the outcome or not. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:27, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 14:43, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Merge for consistency with the above, but – unless the reader is familiar with Cognia – the new name has no obvious meaning. Cognia (education) doesn't currently help much. --Northernhenge (talk) 21:07, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Make these categories conform to MOS:JOBTITLES. Woko Sapien (talk) 15:18, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's note: Just to be clear, none of these categories denote titles (the left column of MOS:JOBTITLES). A title must be completely unmodified, and these categories names are modified by virtue of being plural. Per the text: "a formal title for a specific entity...is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article), and is not a reworded description." Woko Sapien (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. -- Just N. (talk) 14:46, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per MOS:JOBTITLES as these denote a title, not a description, so the left column in MOS:JOBTITLES applies. --Northernhenge (talk) 21:12, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Northernhenge, please see my note above. Woko Sapien (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Rename for consistency. In the past year or maybe a bit longer a huge amount of categories have been renamed similarly. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:14, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose looks like MOS:JOBTITLES applies here. Moondragon21 (talk) 22:41, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- Moondragon21, please see my note above. Woko Sapien (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Organizations disestablished in 1538 to Organizations disestablished in the 16th century and 1538 disestablishments

- Propose merging Category:Organizations disestablished in 1769 to Organizations disestablished in the 1760s and 1769 disestablishments
- Nominator's rationale: Only one page in each category - overcategorisation. – numbermaniac 04:36, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- More categories added at 18:10, 26 June 2025 (UTC).
- Oppose merging just this one, there are many older year categories that should be nominated in conjunction, it does not make sense to single out one category in the midst of a series. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:28, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- I had looked at the 1760s category and all the other ones seem to have military-related subcategories (some with up to 40 pages) so I didn't want to touch those. I'll look at some of the earlier years with 1 page in their category and include them too. – numbermaniac 08:38, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: I've now added all the other ones prior to my original nomination of 1769 that have 1 page and 0 subcategories. – numbermaniac 18:14, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Category:UCA albums
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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 23:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only entry is a redirect of a non-notable album released on a label with no mention in any article except being listed in discography article where the redirect points. UCA is also very ambiguous with, as far as I can tell from Discogs, at least 4 different labels that use/have used UCA. The category is just unhelpful as an aid for readers.
