Category:Hebrew-language names

Nominator's rationale: It looks like there is something multiwrong with this category.
Done with subcats.
Final suggestion: What's in a Name?
  • Support. Articles about Hebrew-language names are of course ok to have in this category, but articles about any other Jewish topics are not. The fact that an article or subcategory has a Hebrew-language name is not relevant. We are categorizing content, not page names. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1980s cold waves

Nominator's rationale: For consistency with the rest of Category:20th-century cold waves. The content is already in subcategories of the other parents. –Aidan721 (talk) 23:04, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blizzards in Oceania

Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Only 1 article each. WP:NARROW. Both articles are already in weather events in COUNTRY categories, so additional merging is unnecessary. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blizzards in Afghanistan

Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Only 1 article. WP:NARROWAidan721 (talk) 22:39, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of Pakistani people by ethnicity

Nominator's rationale: This currently contains only List of Americans in Pakistan and List of Pakistani Hindus, which are by nationality and religion respectively rather than ethnicity. – Fayenatic London 22:48, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of Australians by ethnicity

Nominator's rationale: We should use "Australian people" rather than "Australians" per multiple parents. That leaves a choice of "by ethnicity" or "by descent" like the parent Category:Australian people by descent. "By descent" was chosen to replace "by ethnic or national origin" at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_26#Category:People_by_ethnic_or_national_descent. – Fayenatic London 22:36, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seasonal weather events

Nominator's rationale: Just because we have Category:Winter weather events does not mean that we need categories for other seasons as well. Abnormal weather is not as common in other seasons and thus does not require categorization. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:22, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of political office-holders by province or territory in Canada

Nominator's rationale: Use "of" rather than "in", per Category:Categories by province or territory of Canada. I could have taken this to Speedy, but maybe someone has a better name. Note: the contents are not all holders of provincial offices, as they include subcats for mayors of places within the provinces. – Fayenatic London 22:05, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Redirect-Class 20th Century Studios articles of Low-importance

Nominator's rationale: All related categories for non-article pages have been renamed from "articles" to "pages", so nominating these for consistency — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:17, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Category-Class 20th Century Studios articles of NA-importance

Nominator's rationale: All related categories for non-article pages have been renamed, so nominating these for consistency — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Changed nomination to delete per comment below. These are unnecessary and redundant categories — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:17, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. These additional layers are really just a mess that should be eliminated. A page like Category talk:20th Century Fox film series is listed already in Category:Category-Class 20th Century Studios pages and in Category:NA-importance 20th Century Studios pages. Anyone wishing to find an intersection can use existing tools, such as petscan to find whatever intersection they want. Gonnym (talk) 10:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arabs in Arab world

Nominator's rationale: These categories are poorly defined, inconsistently populated, and in many cases redundant. Their scopes are vague—none of them clearly distinguishes between ethnic, cultural, linguistic, or political aspects of Arab identity, and most lack sufficient content to justify standalone categories. Moreover, since these categories refer to Arabs in countries that are themselves part of the Arab world, the distinction becomes unnecessary and potentially misleading. Instead, more meaningful and structured categorization already exists under Category:Arab nationalism by country and its subcategories, which provide a clearer thematic framework tied to a specific aspect of Arab identity—namely political ideology. Other valid categorization schemes include by language, religion, or diaspora status, but such schemes must have a well-defined scope and consistent usage across articles. Unless there is a compelling case for developing these categories further with reliable sourcing and clear scope, deletion is the most appropriate course to reduce clutter and maintain a coherent category system. --Hassan697 (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palestine (disambiguation)

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Hatnotes are enough for disambiguation. Hassan697 (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Society of Palestine

Nominator's rationale: These presumably made sense when first created and populated by Greyshark09, but are now small and no longer helpful. – Fayenatic London 21:06, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

State of Palestine

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 January 19#Palestine. Hassan697 (talk) 19:05, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Regents of Germany

Nominator's rationale: delete, none of the articles is about a regent on behalf of the German emperor, so "of Germany" is incorrect. At most we might rename the category to Category:German regents but we do not have any other regents by nationality, for obvious reasons. Manually move the articles to Category:Regents if they aren't already in the tree somewhere else. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

People by state

Nominator's rationale: To match multiple parents, e.g. Lists of American people, American people by state or territory. – Fayenatic London 21:37, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of people by populated place

Propose renaming:
Nominator's rationale: use "Fooian people" to match others within Category:Lists of Canadian people, etc; and use "populated place" like others within Category:People by populated place. – Fayenatic London 16:40, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:African-American mariachi musicians

Nominator's rationale: Category of unclear necessity, newly created for just one person. As always, categories of this type do not automatically need to exist the moment there's just one person to file in them -- it would be fine if there were four or five people in it, but is not needed for just one person. No upmerging necessary, as the article has been left duplicate-categorized in one of the parent categories as it is, and is already in other appropriate subcategories of the other. Bearcat (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Entertainers from Portland, Maine

Nominator's rationale: Subcategory with two entries. Also propose merging-

Subcategories with one or two entries. Lost in Quebec (talk) 15:23, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Explorers of India

Nominator's rationale: merge, India did not exist as a unified state yet, so in practice explorers of India and explorers of South Asia are largely overlapping. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Video games set in the 2nd millennium BC

Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated and poorly populated categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rakovník District geography stubs

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge with template into parent Category:Central Bohemian Region geography stubs. The category is not understubbed and fails to reach a reasonable number of stubs (minimum is 60–100). FromCzech (talk) 08:25, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lebanese expatriate sportspeople in Mandatory Palestine

Nominator's rationale: merge, complicated category tree for only one article, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Expatriate sportspeople in Mandatory Palestine by nationality

Nominator's rationale: redundant category layer, upmerge for now. SMasonGarrison 04:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
