NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Saints of Late Roman Epirus
- Propose double upmerging Category:Saints of Late Roman Epirus to Category:Saints of Roman Epirus and Category:Saints of Byzantine Greece
- Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:32, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Moldovan Orthodox Christians
- Propose renaming Category:Moldovan Orthodox Christians to Bishops of the Moldovan Orthodox Church and re-parent accordingly
- Nominator's rationale: Rename per actual content, all 4 articles are bishops. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:45, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians from Moldova
- Propose deleting Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians from Moldova - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians from Moldova - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: delete with no prejudice against restarting the category from scratch. The number of articles in this category is huge in comparison to any other category in Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians by nationality and it seems like every Moldavian biography in WP has been added to this category. Based on a sample, most articles do not contain any information about the person being Eastern Orthodox Christian. Thus WP:NONDEF and WP:OVERLAPCAT apply. The best way to proceed is probably to delete this category and to start it all over again. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:32, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Imperial Russian people by religion
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian atheists to Category:Russian atheists
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian Christians to Category:Russian Christians
- Propose upmerging Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians from the Russian Empire to Category:Eastern Orthodox Christians from Russia
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian Roman Catholics to Category:Russian Roman Catholics
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian Jews to Category:Russian Jews
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian rabbis to Category:Russian rabbis
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian Orthodox rabbis to Category:Orthodox rabbis
- Propose upmerging Category:Imperial Russian Muslims to Category:Russian Muslims
- Propose delete Category:Imperial Russian people by religion - becomes empty after the above mergers
- Nominator's rationale: upmerge, trivial intersection between the larger part of Russian history and religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:49, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Russian religious figures
- Propose deleting Category:Russian religious figures - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Russian religious figures - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: delete. "Figure" is not a defining characteristic and there is no tree for "figures". No need to upmerge this category, because the 6 articles are already in one or more appropriate religious categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Film writers
- Propose renaming Category:Film writers to Category:Writers about film
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The problem here is one of ambiguity. As constituted, this was intended for people who write non-fiction work about film and cinema, such as film historians or film critics, but I suspect it won't surprise anyone that I just had to clean it up for a sizable contingent of misfiled screenwriters. The usage note is thus ineffective at ensuring that the category doesn't get misused — so we should rename it to something more unambiguously descriptive of its intended use and less likely to be confused with Category:Screenwriters. (For the record, the most seemingly parallel category to this, Category:Television writers, is used for writers of television programming rather than writers of non-fiction work about television.) Bearcat (talk) 08:09, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:53, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Minor planets formerly to be visited by spacecraft
- Propose deleting Category:Minor planets formerly to be visited by spacecraft - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Minor planets formerly to be visited by spacecraft - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: That some "minor planets have been proposed as potential targets for space probes" is a WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic of a planet - as well as being (out of date) speculation. This may be suitable for a list, but few/none of the articles in the category mention this characteristic in the article text. DexDor (talk) 07:01, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Listify -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 07:12, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- No objection to a list, but this is not an appropriately WP:DEFINING basis for a category. Listify and delete. Bearcat (talk) 08:10, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Category:Water in the North Pole
- Propose deleting Category:Water in the North Pole - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Water in the North Pole - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Only contains the page North Pole, which is adequately categorised and does not need to be in Category:Water by continent. – Fayenatic London 00:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. DexDor (talk) 06:45, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep also can include climate change effects. --Lagoset (talk) 07:53, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Delete with no prejudice against reestablishing the category when more content will become available. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:38, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
