- The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Stanford University campus and add Category:University and college campuses in California as a parent category. - jc37 08:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: "Places" is vague and not used elsewhere on Wikipedia. User:Namiba 20:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- The main issue is some of the items aren't "buildings and structures" for example a lake, a creek, arboretum, garden so what category or categories should they go under? Erp (talk) 21:35, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Split between Category:Stanford University buildings and structures (for buildings and structures) and Category:Stanford University (for everything else). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:56, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Stanford University campus and add Category:University and college campuses in California as a parent category. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- That may also be a good solution. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- We also have Category:University and college buildings and structures in California. Unsure whether we need both of these categories.--User:Namiba 12:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Let's wait and see if the campus categories can be populated with much else than buildings and structures. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:53, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Stanford University campus and parent per RevelationDirect.

- Nominator's rationale: delete/merge, redundant category layer for historical people who can be categorized by century, and there are too few articles about prehistoric individual people to keep separate categories. This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:04, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Nederlandse Leeuw, Fayenatic london, Dimadick, Peterkingiron, William Allen Simpson, and Laurel Lodged: pinging contributors to previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Not redundant, it helps group centuries together. Dimadick (talk) 20:14, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, useful for navigation between events and people. Also allows chronological parenting of e.g. Category:Hebrew Bible judges. – Fayenatic London 22:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Strong delete per nom, WP:NONDEF, precedents such as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_March_4#Rulers_by_millennium, where William Allen Simpson said
Millennium categories serve no useful purpose
, and per WP:V (especially for pre-500 BCE people it's difficult to determine when they lived, if they even lived at all and weren't just literary inventions, see my arguments at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_March_6#Category:Biblical_rulers_by_century). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:34, 1 April 2023 (UTC) - Strong keep - this is a well-implemented subcat scheme complementing the 'by century' scheme and deleting it serves no point whatever. It is particularly perverse to delete Category:Deaths by millennium but not Category:1st-millennium BC deaths. Further, just pinging previous cfd contributors would appear to be reinforcing any previous bias. Have contributors to previous cfds which reached a different conclusion been pinged? Have people who created/edited/populated these categories been pinged? Oculi (talk) 01:01, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Where else would Barum woman be categorised except in Category:7th-millennium BC people? (Actually, one answer is that she should be in the non-diffusing subcategory Category:7th-millennium BC women, which ought to be created). These categories are a logical part of the hierarchy of people by date. PamD 12:14, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Strong delete — WP:SMALLCAT. No technical need to group centuries together, as there are only 10 per millennium. Most of these are poorly populated. There should never be events in a people category. There is no need for scattering individual people in archaelogical categories across millennia, especially where they hypothetically cross millennial boundaries. Therefore, useless categories that do not aid navigation.

- Nominator's rationale: Lacks content required per WP:OCEPON to warrant eponymous category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep, just added two more subcategories Category:Kvitka Cisyk songs ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Category:Kvitka Cisyk soundtracks ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Now Category:Kvitka Cisyk ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) contains one article and three categories with 5 articles. --Perohanych (talk) 21:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

DeleteWP:OCASSOC doesn't get any more clear than this. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:08, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Category:L-type stars

- The result of the discussion was: Rename Timrollpickering (talk) 13:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:L-type stars to Category:L-type brown dwarfs
- Nominator's rationale: Calling brown dwarfs "stars" is not semantically accurate, considering that they're classified separately from stars for their lack of hydrogen fusion. There is only one instance of a proper star that's considered spectral class L (V838 Monocerotis), but that's only an unusual circumstance. The M-class spectral type has two categories for Category:M-type stars and Category:M-type brown dwarfs, so the L-class spectral type should be split similarly to accommodate these two types of objects. Nrco0e (talk) 16:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Support: L-type stars are sometimes used to refer to slow irregular variables, so a name change is probably appropriate. Praemonitus (talk) 04:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support per above: the name change is appropriate. Just a note that 2MASS J0523−1403 (full article) and SSSPM J0829-1309 (redirect) are considered to be L-type stars that are fusing hydrogen. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 11:07, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- I think that we should rename the general category but keep the L-type stars category for these low-mass red dwarfs and V838 Monocerotis. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 11:13, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Y-type stars to Category:Y-type brown dwarfs
- Nominator's rationale: Calling brown dwarfs "stars" is not semantically accurate, considering that they're classified separately from stars for their lack of hydrogen fusion. Furthermore, calling Y-type brown dwarfs "stars" is even less accurate considering that they straddle the mass line between planets and brown dwarfs. Nrco0e (talk) 16:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Buisnessman from Gujarat ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: These categories should be deleted because: (1) it is redundant: there is already a Category:Businesspeople from Gujarat, and (2) "Buisnesman" is a typographical error for Businessman or Businessmen. -- Toddy1 (talk) 09:22, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete the above 2 as empty categories. Category:Businessman from Gujarat should also be nominated, for merge. Oculi (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Oculi: There is a Category:Businesswomen from Gujarat, which is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Businesspeople from Gujarat. I do not know whether Category:Businessman from Gujarat should be deleted or whether it would be better to make it a non-diffusing subcategory.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:01, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Children of Julius Caesar to Category:Family of Julius Caesar
- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only three children. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep 3 is generally seen as acceptable for wives and children categories of notable persons. Pretty standard. And in this case two of the items have their own categories which are included.★Trekker (talk) 11:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- I rather perceive "Family" to be the standard and would only create "Children" in case of a large number of children. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree. I have been responsible for creating many of the first hundred (or so) "Family of", "Children of" and "Wives of" categories as well as subsequent category trees and it has always been standard to keep "Children of" and "Wives of" separate if there are at least three items (and in this case there are the sub-categories as well) I have been involved in several of these deletion discussions before and I stand by the consensus of those that three is enough.★Trekker (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- If you were to up that to 5, I doubt there would be any further controversy going forward over WP:SMALLCAT. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:15, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Please cite the consensus discussions. I've never been in favor of 3.

- Weak keep 3 is large enough, upmerging would also be acceptable. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with StarTrekker. This is a sufficiently large category. Dimadick (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep
unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme
. As Category:Children of national leaders exists, I think "Children of Julius Caesar" qualifies as part of such a scheme. Walt Yoder (talk) 21:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)- That cat is currently being CfR'd so I would be careful invoking it. Marco has argued for removing Julius Caesar from it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:37, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- That is, if the rename of the category goes ahead. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge While I favor 5, 3 might be enough. But here only 1 of the 3--Julia (daughter of Caesar)--seems clearly define by the relationship. (The other 2 are obviously defined by royal inheritance, just not JC per se.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree, being Caesar's adoptive son is the only reason Augustus was able to become a powerful player in the politics of the late Roman Republic. And the weight of Caesarions relationship to the dictator can be seen in something as obvious as his very name, his ancestry was hugely important to his mother's and step-father's politics his entire life.★Trekker (talk) 10:11, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- Merge — 3 is never enough. The small tradition is 5, and arguably should be 10. There are far too much of this Wives and Children fragmentation.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 07:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC) - Merge all to "family of X". I don't think we should be splitting these families up unless there is great need... - jc37 08:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Category:Coasts of Nigeria

- The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Coasts of Nigeria ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This seems to be "coastal provinces of Nigeria", but only some of them are included. It doesn't seem necessary on Rivers State or anything else. Walt Yoder (talk) 03:49, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, it seems to be part of a category tree for Category:Populated coastal places in Nigeria. So not deletion. Walt Yoder (talk) 04:08, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
