• Propose merging Category:Deans of Stanford University School of Medicine ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Newly created small category with limited growth potential. Looking at Category:American university and college faculty deans, only Category:Georgetown University deans is comparable, and that contains 7 subcategories. Merge to Category:American university and college faculty deans and Category:Stanford University School of Medicine faculty. Gjs238 (talk) 19:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Dual merge, also to Category:Roman Catholic bishops in Equatorial Guinea. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Events by topic ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete, these are events in the very vague meaning of "anything that happened in the field of". The subcategories are in fact entirely unrelated, except partially as a case of WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I just populated it Marcelus (talk) 18:05, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  In that case, I'll amend to keep Category:Canons of Sandomierz and merge Category:Clergy from Sandomierz to Category:People from Sandomierz. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Middle Schools in Guangzhou to Category:Junior secondary schools in China and Category:Schools in Guangzhou

Nominator's rationale: Middle schools in China redirects to junior secondary schools in China. Senior secondary schools in China are sub-catted by province, and a few cities have sub-cats, but for junior schools there are only 28 articles nationwide and no other sub-cats by location. – Fayenatic London 09:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: Only one article says it is also a senior school, so I have added that one to the third parent High schools in Guangdong. – Fayenatic London 09:48, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge, following the redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:7th-century Romans ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory, and ancient Rome no longer existed. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Category:7th-century Byzantine people. – Fayenatic London 09:46, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @Fayenatic london: the single subcategory here does not belong under Byzantine people. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merging to "Byzantine people" doesn't make sense, because the only subcategory consists of Gallo-Romans, who weren't Byzantines. There were still Romans, of course, but ATM none are in the category. If it's deleted now, it can still be re-created if and when there are some other contents. P Aculeius (talk) 13:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Just delete, then. For info, I have added a link for Byzantines as a succeeding category from 7th-century Romans. – Fayenatic London 14:42, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award winners ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year winners

Nominator's rationale: "Award" is not considered apart of their proper name as these are not limited to a specific publication and should be omitted. This follows a series of recent template and page moves. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:56, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support: proposed rename matches that used by the Pro Football Reference source as well as the AP NFL Most Valuable Player article. – yutsi (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose splitting Category:LGBTQ culture in the United States by region to Category:LGBTQ culture in the United States and Category:LGBTQ in the United States by region

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer ^SMason_Garrison 01:41, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Single merge to Category:LGBTQ culture in the United States, the subcategory is not "by region". Marcocapelle (talk) 05:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Category:LGBTQ culture in the United States per Marcocapelle. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:47, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:LGBTQ in the United States by region to Category:LGBTQ in the United States by location
• Propose renaming Category:LGBTQ rights in the United States by region to Category:LGBTQ rights in the United States by location

Nominator's rationale: contents aren't by region. They're a mix of states, populated places etc. ^SMason_Garrison 01:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename per nom. Category:LGBTQ rights in the United States by region should be renamed too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per nom. I've tagged and added Category:LGBTQ rights in the United States by region to the nomination per Marcocapelle's suggestion. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:First women presidents in Oceania to Category:First women presidents

Nominator's rationale: Merge for the time being as category is underpopulated. Can be recreated when there are more articles related to this category. Note that article is already in Category:Presidents of the Marshall Islands so no need for a dual merge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 01:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:51, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom. I'm not sure we need any diffusion by continent for this tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:37, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• That is also a good point. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aidan721, I would agree here and thought of it initially. Should I nominate all the categories after this one has closed? Omnis Scientia (talk) 00:03, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would support that –Aidan721 (talk) 02:25, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Fiction set in the 7th millennium or beyond ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Works about the future
• Propose merging Category:Television series set in the 7th millennium or beyond ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Television series set in the future
• Propose merging Category:Video games set in the 7th millennium or beyond ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Video games set in the future
• Propose deletingmerging Category:Fictional characters from the 7th millennium or beyond ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Fictional characters from the future

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCMISC. We should not have a remainder category. We should create categories for individual millenniums, not arbitrary groupings. –Aidan721 (talk) 00:58, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. Though the last category may be merged to Category:Fictional characters from the future instead of deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks, couldn't find that category. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge These have more in common with each other than with previous millennia, but it is a grouping that lacks an objective cutoff. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:52, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Interactive narrative ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This is a weird category that apparently mostly contains chatbots out of all things. Even though I know that's what this category is trying to do, this does not look like a "category for games or books where the plot is determined by the user." at all! QuantumFoam66 (talk) 00:06, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Would it be a solution to just purge chatbots? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:00, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't believe in you. When excluding all the, um, chatbots; I realized that it has many of the pages that Category:Interactive fiction does. While interactive narrative may be a different thing from interactive fiction, somehow; I do not think you're going to try to keep this category, especially because it is not defining for all these chatbots because nobody notes the chatbots for having something to do with whatever "interactive narrative" is. Also this thing called Online Caroline, whatever that is, does not even belong to Interaction fiction (not narrative because we would move it) either. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 23:54, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose It does appear to exist as a legitimate encyclopedic topic. Unless you can prove that it is not defining somehow, it is a viable category. Interactive storytelling may need to be modified or moved to encompass more than just digital. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:32, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• I will not oppose deletion, but if kept the category should be heavily purged. For example Customer service also does not belong here. In the end the category may contain only a few articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
