- Propose deleting Category:Aircraft bombings ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer. Category:Kamikaze shouldn't be here at all since the scope appears to be "bombings targeted at aircraft", not "bombings using aircraft as a weapon" (which would be Category:Bomber aircraft) and Kamikaze bombers targeted ships rather than aircraft. That leaves only one redirect and one subcat. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:12, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Deputy Heads of state ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Category of unclear utility, whose name isn't really an accurate reflection of its contents. This was created within the past month solely as a parent for Category:Vice presidential residences -- but that's already a subcategory of Category:Vice presidencies, and the name of this implies that its contents should be people rather than inanimate things related to job titles. There really aren't other types of "deputy head of state" besides vice-presidents anyway, so this functionally just duplicates another category that already exists. Bearcat (talk) 14:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:08, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Useful category to hold the articles on deputy heads of state, most of which would be titled vice president or other similar titles. 42.200.80.48 (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- They would not be titled vice presidents, they are titled vice presidents. And vice presidents already have their own tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: There's no need to difuse this category be the city that these buildings are in given that these are the only two buildings in the full tree. Mason (talk) 04:04, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- I added a third article but that does not change matters, the parent category remains empty, so merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Nazi Germany ministers

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Government ministers of Nazi Germany. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Nazi Germany ministers to Category:Hitler cabinet ministers
- Nominator's rationale: Fix the rather ungrammatical title of this category and rename it to be consistent the main article, Hitler cabinet (t · c) buidhe 04:53, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment (no oppose): I think that Category:Ministers of Nazi Germany sounds better. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think that won't work because of the double meaning of "minister" in English. The tree is Category:Government ministers by country, to avoid confusion with the Christian meaning of "minister" (e.g. missionary or evangelist). NLeeuw (talk) 14:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Rename target?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Alt rename to Category:Government ministers of Nazi Germany per parent Category:Government ministers of Germany (WP:C2C). "cabinet minister" (indirect WP:C2D) could also work as proposed, but it is quite rare by comparison: Category:Cabinet ministers of the Russian Empire, Category:Members of the Cabinet of the Philippines, Category:Members of the Cabinet of the Republic of Hawaii etc. Not sure why Category:Cabinet Ministers of Ghana is a subcategory of Category:Government ministers of Ghana though. Category:Government ministers of Sri Lanka seems to indicate that some ministers are not part of the cabinet (Category:Non-cabinet ministers of Sri Lanka, Non-cabinet minister (Sri Lanka)), while others are. But if there is no distinction between them, I think the "government ministers of Fooland" convention should be maintained throughout the tree. NLeeuw (talk) 14:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support alt rename, this is less ambiguous than I earlier suggested. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Atari 8-bit family games to Category:Atari 8-bit computer games
- Nominator's rationale: Article has recently gone through a name change to Atari 8-bit computers. This category should reflect that. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Rename Keep in sync with parent article. "Atari 8-bit computer" is more historically accurate than "Atari 8-bit family". Dgpop (talk) 17:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment As the individual who made the move of the Atari 8-bit family article I will politely refrain from the above discussion. I only want to notice that if the rename is decided upon, then also these other categories should be renamed, to maintain consistency:
- Category:Atari 8-bit family to Category:Atari 8-bit computers
- Category:Atari 8-bit family software to Category:Atari 8-bit computer software
- Category:Atari 8-bit family-only games to Category:Atari 8-bit computer-only games
- Category:Cancelled Atari 8-bit family games to Category:Cancelled Atari 8-bit computer games
- Category:Screenshots of Atari 8-bit family games to Category:Screenshots of Atari 8-bit computer games
- Category:Atari 8-bit family game covers to Category:Atari 8-bit computer game covers

- Unless anyone is going to object to the article move (which happened 2 weeks ago) the category name should just follow the new article name. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
