- The result of the discussion was: delete/merge as per Marcocapelle. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Ambassadors of Portugal to Prussia to Category:Ambassadors of Portugal to Germany and Category:Ambassadors to Prussia
- Propose merging Category:Ambassadors of Spain to Prussia to Category:Ambassadors to Prussia and Category:Ambassadors of Spain to Germany
- Propose merging Category:Ambassadors of the Netherlands to Prussia to Category:Ambassadors of the Netherlands to Germany and Category:Ambassadors to Prussia
- Nominator's rationale: 2x upmerge mostly per discussion on JPL's talk page [1]. There's only one person in each of these. Unlike the discussion, I think that these should be merged to Ambassadors of FOO to Germany. Mason (talk) 21:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete Category:Ambassadors of Portugal to Prussia, the source does not mention Prussia. For the other two, I strongly disagree with Germany as a target. If the Holy Roman Empire would have been a unified German country that you could send ambassadors to then these ambassadors would be sent to the emperor in Vienna. But of course the Holy Roman Empire did not function as a country like that anyway. The target should be Category:Ambassadors to Prussia and simply Category:Ambassadors of Spain.

- Propose merging Category:Films about psychosis to Category:Films about mental health
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Only one page in here. Mason (talk) 17:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, the film is not clearly about psychoses. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:History of cell biology to Category:Cell biology
- Nominator's rationale: This is unhelpful for navigation to only have one page in here, that may be be part of cell biology's history. Mason (talk) 17:47, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:50, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Survey selection methods to Category:Surveys (human research)
- Nominator's rationale: This category is not helpful for navigation, nor are these really defining. They're all related to participant selection, but... that's not something really unique to "surveys". This are just general sampling methods (or issues related to sampling). Mason (talk) 17:39, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: you are making an interesting comment about sampling. Shouldn't the merge target be Category:Sampling (statistics) (as well)? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Two of them could be added to Category:Sampling techniques, but contents are also good fits for surveys (human research). The challenge, I think, at the heart of it, is that these pages are closely linked to survey sampling but for different reasons. (I'm struggling to articulate it but I think at the heart of it, is that I can see why each was added to this category, but I'd never group these three pages together as a cohesive unit) Mason (talk) 20:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, the articles are now all three in Category:Sampling (statistics) or Category:Sampling techniques. While sampling in general is very relevant for survey research I don't think that these three articles in particular are. Presumably Category:Survey selection methods can just be deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Further observation: Category:Surveys (human research) is a set category of named surveys, this is certainly not a good merge target for topic articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:58, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for doing the heavy lifting on this. I'm fine with deletion. Mason (talk) 23:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Wooden floors to Category:Floors and Category:Wood products
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There's no need to intersect the the type of floor. This is uphelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 17:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, also to Category:Floors. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose splitting Category:Insurance law in France to Category:Insurance in France and Category:Insurance law
- Nominator's rationale: Unhelpful for navigation to make categories like this. Mason (talk) 17:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, possibly only to Category:Insurance in France, the article is not clearly about law. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Thermal instruments ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This category only as a single redirect. It is not helpful for navigation. I urge the category creator to stop mass creating categories without populating them. There's no need for this category, or many of the recently created ones Mason (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Wrong category and it is clear that the creator does not understand how category works. ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 16:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support. I removed the only category in it, which was Category:Cultural nationalism. Mason (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Wrong category and it is clear that the creator does not understand how category works. ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 16:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support. This category isn't helpful for navigation. In the future, can the nominator bundle this kinds of category nomination? Mason (talk) 17:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: Of course, it's just because that Twinkle doesn't come with bundles and you can help me bundle them. ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 18:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Delete, the only subcategory is already in the tree of Category:Ethnic nationalism which seems to suffice.Marcocapelle (talk) 19:53, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Meanwhile a number of articles have been added. Now selectively merge to Category:Ethnic nationalism as an overlapping concept. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:02, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- (I concurn with selective merging, the pages being added don't really fit. Nor is it clear what cultural nationalism as a defining concept) Mason (talk) 23:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Tokisaki Kurumi, I don't really understand your deletion rationale. "Wrong category" doesn't really explain what is wrong about this category and neither does your claim that the category creator doesn't understand categories explain why this one should be deleted. Luckily, the editors who frequent CFD can fill in the blanks just by looking at the category but you really should have a policy-based deletion rationale if you are going to nominate more pages for deletion discussions and this nomination isn't based on a specific policy guiding category usage. Liz Read! Talk! 20:41, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz: By "wrong category", I mean, 1. wrong parent category (until now, the parent category of this category still contains categories like Zionism, Bundism, Three Principles of the People, American exceptionalism, American nationalism) 2. wrong subcategory (initially, this category contained only two subcategories and no articles). In addition, it is clear that the creator still do not quite understand how to work over category until now (Special:Diff/1243506564/prev). It's true that I'm not familiar with CFD, but it's also true that I don't know what policy should be used for a Wikipedia:PAGECAT level error. ときさき くるみ not because they are easy, but because they are hard 17:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Typically, the solution to bad cat problems is to edit the categories, not nominate the category for deletion. Mason (talk) 03:32, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: merge, these are single-article isolated categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Most categories require only one merge target, namely in case the article is already part of the lighthouses century category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
