NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Annette Moreno
- Propose deleting Category:Annette Moreno - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Annette Moreno - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: For vandalic act Elindiord (talk) 23:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Questions @Elindiord and Eliot Benavidez: Was anything in this category before nomination? (It was empty when I clicked on it so I added Annette Moreno.) Is your concern WP:EPONCAT? RevelationDirect (talk) 23:41, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:2013–15 Ukrainian crisis
- Propose renaming Category:2013–15 Ukrainian crisis to Category:Ukrainian crisis
- Nominator's rationale: Rename to match main article Ukrainian crisis. The main article was recently the subject of a Requested Move discussion; there was opposition against moving from 2013–15 Ukrainian crisis to Ukrainian crisis (2013–present), but unanimous agreement on Ukrainian crisis. The category rename was opposed as a speedy nomination on the grounds that category names need to be unambiguous, so a full discussion is required. – Fayenatic London 21:35, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Procedural oppose – This CfD is completely out of process, and should be closed at once. The nominating user is circumventing consensus, and placing bureaucratic walls in front of policy-mandated inevitabilities. Please close this request. Do not allow this kind of disruption on this encylopaedia. RGloucester — ☎ 21:54, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Weak support for move, as main related page was renamed to Ukrainian crisis. However, I must disagree that this CfD is out of process; speedy policies all allow for challenges, and having been challenged on speedy move for the category it is only proper to discuss the move here. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 23:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Support I don't know if I would have favored renaming the main article but, in general, such disagreements should be hashed out in the article space and the categories should blindly follow (unless the name presents some unique issue in the category space). I agree with coldacid on the procedural issue that was raised. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:49, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose. Concordance between article and category titles, though desirable, is not a "policy-mandated inevitabilit". In light of the fact that Ukraine has been in a state of crisis virtually since independence—rampant corruption, economic strain, regionalism and nationalism, political upheaval, that Ukrainian crisis in 2000–01, that other Ukrainian crisis in 2004–05, and so on—the proposed category title is too ambiguous. I admit the current title is optimistic in assuming the crisis will end in 2015; however, the proposed title is worse. -- Black Falcon 23:54, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Protestant churches
- Propose downmerging Category:Protestant churches to Category:Protestant church buildings
- Nominator's rationale: Downmerge since the two categories have the same type of content to categorize church buildings. Downmerge instead of upmerge because church buildings is the less ambiguous term. Incidentally there is some content that is not about church buildings that can be purged since it has been rightfully classified in the tree of Category:History of Protestantism already.

Category:Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards winners
- Convert Category:Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards winners to article List of Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award winners
- Nominator's rationale: Delete/convert: per WP:OCAWARD. Or might be too narrow a list to make. Maybe merge into Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards? ― Padenton |☎ 20:24, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Abstract curses
- Propose deleting Category:Abstract curses - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Abstract curses - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Appears to simply be a category for terms that have the word 'curse' in them. The current pages (Winner's curse, Curse of dimensionality, Curse of knowledge, Thinned-array curse) have nothing in common other than the word 'curse' in the title. ― Padenton |☎ 20:19, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Support delete per WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:29, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Church councils accepted by Protestantism
- Propose upmerging Category:Church councils accepted by Lutheranism to Category:Church councils accepted by Protestantism
- Propose upmerging Category:Church councils accepted by Anglicanism to Category:Church councils accepted by Protestantism
- Propose purging Category:Church councils accepted by Calvinism
- Propose renaming Category:Church councils accepted by Calvinism to Category:Calvinist councils and synods
- Nominator's rationale: Merge and purge per WP:OVERLAPCAT, since these Protestant denominations accept the same ancient church councils. After purging the Calvinist category, to remove the ancient church councils, the only content that remains here is Calvinist councils, hence the rename is an obvious consequence. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Climate change skepticism
- Nominator's rationale: There is an ongoing dispute over whether this particular POV is best labeled as "skepticism" or "denialism". Essentially, the camp that adopts the POV thinks of themselves as skeptics while the camp that opposes them disagrees strongly. It's best to stay neutral, so a neutral category name was invented that describes the POV rather than labeling it. I would recommend a change for the sub-categories too, but the wording may become a bit more unwieldy and, thus, I'm hesitant to start those discussions until this one concludes. jps (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Jps: The title of this category is consistent with the title of Misplaced Pages's climate change skepticism article. Is it necessary to change either (or both) of these titles? Jarble (talk) 20:01, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- climate change skepticism isn't an article. climate change denial is. jps (talk) 20:03, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Alternative Category:Climate change skepticism and denial, seeking a compromise on the POV problem without getting a too complicated and uncommon category name. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:27, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- climate change skepticism isn't an article. climate change denial is. jps (talk) 20:03, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Eastern Orthodox church bodies and patriarchates
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. strangely enough, we do not have a category yet that is C2D to Eastern Orthodox Church, because at Category:Eastern Orthodox Church there is only a redirect to Category:Eastern Orthodoxy. This nomination may well close the gap. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Habsburg period in the history of Serbia
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Both categories cover the same topic. It was proposed for speedy merge in opposite direction. The target category of this nomination is C2C to parent Category:History of Serbia and just generally it is a more usual form of category name than the nominated category (first specifying the main topic, then the subdivision). Marcocapelle (talk) 16:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Lutheran churches
- Propose splitting Category:Lutheran churches to Category:Lutheran church buildings and Category:Lutheran denominations
- Nominator's rationale: Split, this category is a mix of two different things because of the ambiguity of the "church" term. The church buildings should be renamed C2C to its parent Category:Protestant church buildings while there are also a number of articles about denominations which can be merged into the existing Category:Lutheran denominations. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:52, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Split per nom. Editor2020, Talk 17:43, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Connecticut colonial people
- Propose renaming Category:Connecticut colonial people to Category:People of Colonial Connecticut
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. I disagree with the rename suggestion. There are many other categories with this same format already, and I simply don't see any value in changing. TiMike (talk) 03:23, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Rename this is about the era of Connecticut; people may span eras. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 05:31, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy close of this nomination. The discussion about this category is taking place here and it is still open. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Category:Defunct sports television series
- Propose deleting Category:Defunct sports television series - Template:Lc1
- Propose deleting Category:Defunct sports television series - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: The only page is for a defunct show, not a defunct sport (if there is such a thing) Fuddle (talk) 00:44, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Editor2020, Talk 17:45, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
