Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2014 May index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:0 BC births | keep. – | May 6 |
| Category:10-90 model television series | delete | May 14 |
| Category:15th-century Jewish physicians of Portugal | rename | May 13 |
| Category:1975 Commercial Union Assurance Grand Prix | delete; category has remained empty | May 19 |
| Category:1980s romance film stubs | upmerge to Category:1980s film stubs and Category:Romance film stubs. | May 9 |
| Category:1990s romance film stubs | upmerge to Category:1990s film stubs and Category:Romance film stubs. | May 9 |
| Category:396 BCE deaths | rename | May 31 |
| Category:Aborted albums | rename | May 16 |
| Category:Acoustic rock songs | delete | May 11 |
| Actor-politicians | rename all. – | May 21 |
| Category:African-American ratchet musicians | delete. See also here. | May 10 |
| Category:Albemarle County stubs | rename for now, without prejudice to a nomination for deletion/merging per User:The Bushranger's comment | May 12 |
| Category:Alberta Military Units | merge this and Category:Manitoba Military Units, Category:New Brunswick Military Units, Category:Ontario Military Units, Category:Quebec Military Units, Category:Saskatchewan Military Units to the appropriate subcategory of Category:Military history of Canada by province or territory. I believe the contents are already in appropriate categories for military units of Canada by type. Category:British Columbia Military Units was separately nominated on May 22, and I have closed that to match. – | May 19 |
| Category:Albums by voice actors | delete | May 16 |
| Category:Albums produced by The Worlds Freshest | withdrawn by nominator. The nom was based on a misunderstanding | May 12 |
| Category:All-Russia Exhibition Centre | rename | May 15 |
| Category:Alone in the Dark series | merge | May 28 |
| Category:American Anglican church stubs | relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 July 26. – | May 21 |
| Category:American Association of State Colleges and Universities | purge and add criteria. (As a mechanism to use a bot, I will delete it, then undelete it, reinstate the Wikidata link if necessary, and add the 5 pages listed.) – | May 2 |
| Category:American astronaut–politicians | rename following the majority view in the similar discussions below. – | May 21 |
| Category:American Classical Music Hall of Fame inductees | delete | May 28 |
| Category:American religious philosophers | merge to Category:Religious philosophers and also to the other parent to Category:American philosophers, as nobody has give a reason to remove them from that hierarchy. It is inaccurate and unhelpful to opine "delete per nom" where the nomination was for merger, and where merger is desired. – | May 2 |
| Category:Andrea England | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Argenteuil | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Articles under BLP Special Enforcement Sanctions | delete | May 25 |
| Category:Artificial intelligence conferences | no consensus, but move the two journals up to Category:Machine learning. – | May 7 |
| Category:Asian Games events | rename but omit "Games" for Olympics/Paralympics: Category:Sports at the Summer Olympics, Category:Sports at the Summer Paralympics, Category:Sports at the Winter Olympics, Category:Sports at the Winter Paralympics, Category:Sports at the Youth Olympics. – | May 2 |
| Category:Asian-American sororities | rename | May 27 |
| Category:Association football captains | merge | May 4 |
| Category:Association football players by ethnic or national origin | delete/merge as proposed. Category:American soccer players of Mexican descent will be merged to the more narrow Category:American sportspeople of Mexican descent. The issue of whether the general sportspeople categories for ethnicities are appropriate can be tackled in a nomination of those categories. For now, we will merge the contents | May 31 |
| Category:Athletes banned for life | rename | May 11 |
| Bagpipe players | rename. – | May 20 |
| Category:Banks founded in 1986 | merge per C2C | May 12 |
| Category:Bantu people | split as proposed | May 24 |
| Baseball player-managers | moved | May 21 |
| Category:Bashkir rebellion | rename | May 12 |
| Category:Beats Electronics | already deleted per G7 | May 19 |
| Category:Bibliographies of The New Yorker contributors | delete | May 12 |
| Category:BisRock | upmerge | May 17 |
| Category:Boer Wars locations | delete | May 7 |
| Category:Bollywood films of Kamal Haasan | delete | May 28 |
| Category:Bones of the torso | rename | May 18 |
| Category:Branches of Christianity | merge. – | May 23 |
| Category:Breweries and beverage companies of Ireland | merge | May 6 |
| Category:British Columbia Military Units | merge to Category:Military history of British Columbia following the precedent for Alberta. – | May 22 |
| Category:Businesses located in Cumberland, MD-WV-PA | delete | May 22 |
| Category:Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductees | delete | May 28 |
| Category:Cannes Film Festival jury members | delete | May 4 |
| Category:Cannes Film Festival jury presidents | delete | May 4 |
| Category:Cannibalism in the Pacific | moved | May 19 |
| Category:Ceirano | rename | May 13 |
| Category:Chats | rename as proposed. The preference here seems to be to pluralize the disambiguator as well. | May 12 |
| Category:Chemical compounds by physiological function | keep. The category is no longer empty and contains subcategories that use the same "... by physiological function" wording. If the nominator wants to re-nominate this for deletion using an alternative rationale, that should be permitted | May 31 |
| Category:Christian terms | rename to Category:Christian terminology. – | May 23 |
| Category:Christianity in the Roman Empire | do not merge. Category:Christianity and the Greco-Roman world was not formally nominated in this discussion. If the nominator feels that progress was made here and a follow-up nomination proposing something different will be beneficial, the nominated category can be re-nominated (along with any others, such as Category:Christianity and the Greco-Roman world). | May 28 |
| Category:Cincinnati–Northern Kentucky metropolitan area geography stubs | rename | May 13 |
| Category:College athletic directors | rename to Category:Athletic directors | May 12 |
| Category:Colored Conventions | close for re-assessment: During this discussion, a user removed the bio articles and placed them in a new subcategory, WP:OC#PERF . (Incidentally, if users are going to do things like this in the midst of a discussion (create a subcategory which effectively removes the stated rationale for deletion of that category), it would be helpful (and nice) for them to participate in the discussion by mentioning the changes that have been made. Otherwise users who approach the discussion later (not to mention the closer) are placed in the time-consuming position of having to figure out what the hang is going on.) |
May 14 |
| Category:Command & Conquer video games | merge | May 11 |
| Category:Commissions | delete, but merge some of the contents to Category:Public inquiries, as appropriate | May 9 |
| Category:Commonwealth Games tennis players by year | merge | May 16 |
| Category:Comprehensive schools in London | No consensus - Which in XFD parlance means: "Default to keep". So that means the depopulated categories may be populated ("re-"populated, as the case may be), at editor discretion. But this also means that these categories may be re-nominated. (And yes I did read the previous, though apparently withdrawn, nomination.) One thing that struck me as I was investigating the categories for this close, was that the pages WP:CAT should be aware, since categories cannot have references themselves due to technical restrictions, related articles should provide such references (while of course, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is a work-in-progress, so we give the benefit of the doubt that such references may exist, but might not yet be added to said articles). For any future nomination, a discussion of references (or lack thereof) would probably be a decent place to start, I would think. - |
May 2 |
| Category:Comunes of Italy | speedy rename WP:C2C . – |
May 1 |
| Category:Conscript militaries | delete. – | May 18 |
| Category:Contents of websites | delete | May 28 |
| Category:Contributing factors to urban decay | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Crosslink pages | delete | May 18 |
| Category:CS Universitatea Politehnica Timişoara players | procedural close as the page is still not tagged. The new category linked below will be deleted as empty. – | May 19 |
| Category:Damselflies of Metropolitan France | merge | May 19 |
| Category:Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Aticles | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Deaf film production companies of the United States | delete (category was empty at time of close) | May 13 |
| Category:Defenders of slavery | rename | May 27 |
| Category:Demographic history by country | rename | May 26 |
| Category:Dialects of languages with ISO codes | rename. There is no consensus to delete. Since the category will therefore not be deleted, and the nominator (although apparently a new editor) has made a case for renaming which no others have rebutted, the renaming will go ahead. It will be implemented with an edit to template:Infobox language. – | May 14 |
| Category:Discontinued versions of Microsoft Windows | no consensus. Deletion was suggested but that would be undesirable, removing some articles e.g. Windows 2.0 from the Microsoft hierarchy altogether. There was a slight majority for renaming but not sufficient consensus for moving away from a wider pattern of category names. – | May 19 |
| Category:Diseases involving the fasciae | moved | May 25 |
| Category:Diving (acrobatics) | do not rename | May 31 |
| Category:Dog breeds originating or developed in the USSR | keep. (Since renamed to WP:CFDS .) – |
May 21 |
| Category:Dunghutti people | merge | May 13 |
| Category:Ecclesiastical titles | withdrawn | May 29 |
| Category:Encrypted usernames | speedy deleted as blatant trolling | May 24 |
| Category:England MP stubs | rename | May 14 |
| Category:Epic films | keep | May 16 |
| Category:Escorts | no consensus. Some progress was made in the discussion, so a new nomination could be appropriate | May 27 |
| Category:Ethnic Armenian boxers | merge all to Category:Ethnic Armenian sportspeople | May 31 |
| Category:Executed Nazis by location | keep. – | May 11 |
| Category:Faculty by university in New Zealand | keep, with no need to split – see e.g. Category:Faculty by university in France which likewise has institutions that are not all called universities. – | May 22 |
| Category:Female accountants | rename | May 13 |
| Category:Female astronauts | rename | May 13 |
| Category:Ferrar Family | rename | May 18 |
| Category:Fictional characters by behavioral attribute | rename | May 6 |
| Category:Fictional characters | rename 1; no consensus on 2. | May 15 |
| Category:Fictional European people | no consensus. If we ignore the comments of the blocked sockpuppet (the nominator), all we are left with is two users whose opinions seem pretty much at odds with each others'. This is without prejudice to an immediate or later nomination | May 16 |
| Category:Fictional females | no consensus. – | May 1 |
| Category:Fictional mad scientists | not moved | May 6 |
| Category:Fictional obstetricians | rename | May 19 |
| Fictional people vs. characters | rename | May 12 |
| Category:Fictional sorcerers | upmerge both for now to the parent Category:Fictional characters who use magic. Sounds like there may be a developing consensus for further work in upmerging several other subcategories of Category:Fictional characters who use magic, with a possible rename to Category:Fictional magicians. But those ideas can be pursued in future nominations | May 14 |
| Category:Fictional technopaths | speedy keep. (non-admin closure) | May 9 |
| Category:Fictional women scientists | no consensus. As for Category:Fictional female scientists, see also the next CfD section on this page; contrary to the statement by 65.94.171.206 below, Elaqueate was not supporting this; the argument for it strikes me as valid, but clearly does not have consensus support from the community. I believe there is sufficient support here for a split to new Category:Fictional women engineers. – | May 1 |
| Category:Film adaptations directed by writers of original works | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Films about survivors of aviation accidents or incidents | merge. – | May 8 |
| Category:Films based on Dark Horse comics | rename | May 29 |
| Category:Films by LGBT directors | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Films by studio or distributor | delete; merge back to original Category:Films by studio | May 20 |
| Category:Films directed by actors | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Films directed by women | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Films set in prison | Withdrawn by nominator (NAC). – | May 4 |
| Category:Films set on beaches | withdrawn; no consensus to delete in any case; prune as needed | May 21 |
| Category:Films that pass the Bechdel test | delete | May 5 |
| Category:Financial journals | rename | May 7 |
| Category:Firearms importers in the United States | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Former fire stations in the United States | moved | May 22 |
| Category:Fortification in Central America | rename to Category:Fortifications in Central America. – | May 1 |
| Category:Freshwater fish of Metropolitan France | merge | May 18 |
| Category:Gabriel Allon | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Genocide claims | delete | May 6 |
| Category:Ghostly Vessels | rename/merge as proposed | May 14 |
| Category:GIT Tools | rename to Category:Git (software) | May 8 |
| Category:Governors-General | do not rename | May 19 |
| Category:GrimE games | upmerge to Category:Lua-scripted video games, which is also in Category:Video games by game engine. – | May 19 |
| Category:Hannah Peel | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Heterogeneous System Architecture | do not merge | May 29 |
| Category:History books about the city of Halifax | merge as proposed | May 9 |
| Category:Hospitals in Buriram Prvince==== | delete | May 22 |
| Category:Hospitals with chiropractic departments | delete | May 17 |
| Category:Human Computation | delete | May 26 |
| Category:Icelandic people of Australian descent | keep. I find the arguments for keeping this category stronger. It's clear some editors who advocated deletion are unhappy with the whole "descent" structure, but these has been no compelling evidence presented as to why just this one should be deleted | May 16 |
| Category:Igbo athletes | merge all to Category:Igbo sportspeople | May 31 |
| Category:Indian committees | merge; WP:OC#SHAREDNAMES explains the applicable policy. – |
May 8 |
| Category:Indian councils | merge to WP:OC#SHAREDNAMES explains the applicable policy. – |
May 8 |
| Category:Indian federal legislation | rename | May 6 |
| Category:Indian male presenters |  Relisted again at 2014 JUN 23 CFD |
May 28 |
| Category:Indian male presenters | Relisted at 2014 MAY 28 CFD. |
May 12 |
| Category:Indian social activists | merge | May 22 |
| Category:Insects of Andorra | merge all. – | May 19 |
| Category:International Organization for a Participatory Society | delete; I note that the article, which still exists, contains a list of notable members, so there was no need to listify to retain the information | May 7 |
| Category:Irish Sinn Féin politicians | merge to Category:Sinn Féin politicians. However, this close is without prejudice to the creation of one or more subcategories with specified date cutoffs. There was consensus to remove the "Irish" from the category name, but on whether to just have Category:Sinn Féin politicians or subcategories by date no consensus was reached. Therefore, this remains an open question that users can choose to pursue in the normal ways, including the creation and subsequent nomination of subcategories. | May 26 |
| Category:Islamic Universities | delete as duplicate | May 27 |
| Category:Israeli people of Middle Eastern and North African descent | delete; merge contents as proposed | May 15 |
| Category:JCIS | merge to Category:International schools in Japan. All comments after the nomination except one were in favor of merging it in this fashion or outright deletion. Deleting with merging the contents to the natural parent Category:International schools in Japan is therefore a fair result | May 9 |
| Category:Jewish Bible translators | no consensus to delete; rename to Category:Jewish translators of the Bible to resolve ambiguity/scope issues | May 12 |
| Category:Judeo-Christian topics | keep. – | May 23 |
| Category:Kilmarnock F.C. captains | merge | May 5 |
| Category:Kiowa tribe | rename | May 18 |
| Category:Korean Industrial Standards(KS) | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Labor leaders | merge; if desired, Category:Trade union leaders can be nominated for renaming | May 19 |
| Category:Left-handed people | delete and salt; early close per G4, since as noted below this has been discussed and deleted a number of times. (The salting might not be that effective in permanently fixing the issue because even after salting a user could create Category:Left handed people or Category:People who are left handed as well as a dozen other variations.) |
May 16 |
| Category:Leonardo da Vinci in television | speedy rename WP:C2C . – |
May 1 |
| Category:LGBT people of Peruvian descent | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Lifeguards | keep and purge. – | May 1 |
| Linux Foundation member categories | delete | May 7 |
| Category:List of cities in India | bold move reverted | May 25 |
| Category:List of studies | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Lists of monastic houses | rename and restructure afterwards per nominator. – | May 7 |
| Category:Lists of people by sexuality | merge | May 30 |
| Category:Livetronica music groups | no consensus. However, there seems to be a consensus that if there aren't reliable sources that refer to the groups that are in the category as "livetronica" groups, then they can be removed from the category. That may result in an empty category, which may then be speedily deleted. In this case, doing so should not be considered an out-of-process emptying of the category, since it was discussed here | May 15 |
| Category:Long Island, New York Registered Historic Place stubs | Speedy rename - original author expressed lack of opposition, no one else opposed | May 12 |
| Macedonia youth international footballers | merged | May 2 |
| Category:Major National Criminal Organizations | delete | May 19 |
| Category:Make this a Talk | delete | May 5 |
| Category:Manufactured pop groups | delete | May 8 |
| Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe cast members | delete | May 28 |
| Category:Members of paramilitary and terrorist organizations | rename. In the absence of any strong consensus or level of participation here, I'm defaulting to the previous consensus that has been established, that being that we don't use categories to label organizations or individuals "terrorist". No one here convincingly argued that including the word "terrorist" was crucial to this category's meaning. | May 30 |
| Category:Members of the Free Software Foundation board of directors | keep | May 12 |
| Category:Members of the Open Source Initiative board of directors | keep | May 12 |
| Military history categories of the Ancient era | rename | May 8 |
| Category:Millennium Entertainment films | delete; there seems to be quite good arguments here why we should not categorize a film by its distributor(s) | May 13 |
| Category:Millennium Technology Prize winners | delete | May 12 |
| Montréal region categories | delete as empty. No merger necessary as the category additions appear to have been straight additions - that were reverted as they were added before the categories were created and were, thus, redlinks at the time | May 1 |
| Category:Morphology | keep. – | May 9 |
| Category:Mortlock Family, South Australia | delete | May 18 |
| Multiple categories | delete the first two; do not delete Category:Australian people of Silesian descent | May 1 |
| Category:Munafiq | deleted by Dougweller | May 20 |
| Category:Music from The Hunger Games (film series) | Relisted at 2014 JUN 24 CFD |
May 27 |
| Category:Muslim views of biblical figures | rename | May 15 |
| Category:Mónica Naranjo | delete | May 14 |
| Category:National Film Awards | rename | May 3 |
| Category:Native birds of the Pacific region U.S. | rename. – | May 1 |
| Category:Newham Mayoral elections | merge | May 12 |
| Category:North America Railway Hall of Fame inductees | delete | May 30 |
| North American professional sports league athletes who have won a championship | no consensus, but leaning towards keep, as the citations provided late in the discussion by Dolovis seem to confirm that this is defining, as the players were identified in the article headlines as "Stanley Cup champion" etc. – | May 22 |
| Category:Novels by Daniel S. Fletcher | administrative close: category was deleted because the sole article in it was deleted | May 26 |
| Category:Official Monster Raving Loony Party politicians | keep; to delete Category:Official Monster Raving Loony Party, it would need to be nominated | May 22 |
| Category:Organizations opposed to human trafficking | rename, since the article was moved by consensus to use this language. (This was not a great example of change happening cleanly and clearly on Wikipedia, but it is a good example of the messy processes that often work together to result in change.) | May 27 |
| Category:Organizations opposed to women's suffrage | rename | May 28 |
| Ottoman vilayet categories | listify and purge geographic articles on places that once belonged to these former subdivisions, and delete any categories which then become empty, otherwise keep. Keep those for people; my experience of CfD leads me to disagree with Ëzhiki's statement that people should not be categorized by administrative division, especially as these divisions relate to a particular historical period; I commend Lekoren's example about Potsdam. – | May 6 |
| Category:Ousted heads of state | upmerge (but as in practice all member pages are in more specific sub-categories already, this will be implemented as "delete"). – | May 22 |
| Category:Paganism in Africa | merge | May 31 |
| Category:Paul's helpers and converts | merge; those in favour of merging have the guideline in question supporting their position | May 25 |
| Category:People descended from Joseph Loomis | delete | May 13 |
| Category:People educated at Grimsby Institute of Further & Higher Education | rename | May 12 |
| Category:People from Andover, Vermont | merge | May 29 |
| Category:People from Fletcher, Vermont | merge | May 29 |
| Category:People of American descent | keep; as noted, since the parent category is Category:People by ethnic or national descent, the focus on the "American is not an ethnicity" issue is rather moot | May 17 |
| Category:People of Semitic descent | no consensus on Category:Semitic peoples, delete the sub-cats. – | May 11 |
| Category:Perennial candidates from Washington state | delete | May 19 |
| Category:Personal computer automation software | rename | May 18 |
| Category:Photos of New R. S. J. Public School | delete | May 12 |
| Category:Pittsburgh sports stars injured in auto accidents | delete | May 6 |
| Category:Places of the Portola expedition | Delete. Consensus seems to be towards a list solution similar to Portola_expedition#Expedition |
May 12 |
| Category:Pondicherry | keep as a category redirect | May 5 |
| Category:Populated places in the United States with Native American majority populations | delete | May 19 |
| Category:Pramoedya Ananta Toer | delete | May 18 |
| Prehistoric centuries in science | merge | May 4 |
| Category:Primitive fishes | delete Category:Primitive fish | May 29 |
| Category:Product introductions by century | keep Category:Product introductions by year, otherwise no consensus/procedural close. It is unclear what is proposed and why. Categories for introductions e.g. Category:2006 introductions include things other than products, such as fictional characters, so it does not seem desirable to merge the product introductions categories up into the general Introductions category, as pointed out by Peter James, and the nominator did not respond to this point. Likewise, Category:21st-century introductions contains categories for words and games introduced, as well as products, so deleting just Category:Products introduced in the 21st century seems undesirable as it would remove only part of that hierarchy. I am unable to find a consensus to delete just the product introductions by century categories, as different participants seem to have read the proposal differently. Also, there is a statement that something was edited on May 29, but no clarity as to whether the preceding comments on May 25 validly relate to the proposal as currently shown; please make changes traceable in future by striking out the original with <s></s> tags, and adding the replacement text with the date. Moreover, the sub-categories to be deleted/merged have not been tagged, and this is required, as pointed out by John Park Lambert. This close is no bar to making a further nomination, but please be more specific and do nominate (at least some of, preferably all of) the sub-categories that are also to be deleted/merged. – | May 25 |
| Category:Protestantism In Portugal | keep; though I am renaming this to Category:Protestantism in Portugal to fix the caps. At the time of closing, the category contained one subcategory, the article of the same name, and one additional article. | May 18 |
| Pseudoscientific fooers | no consensus. Although there was a fairly clear consensus that the current categories are not fit for purpose, editors were fairly evenly split on whether deleting or renaming would be the best option | May 22 |
| Category:Ratchet (music genre) | delete | May 16 |
| Category:Rebbetzins of Lubavitch | no consensus. A category with only one member is not particularly useful for navigation, so it looks to me as if merger to all parents, or widening the scope, would be desirable. Therefore, this closure is no bar to making a further proposal shortly. – | May 4 |
| Category:Religion in the Roman Empire | no consensus. I acknowledge that the nominator asked for this discussion to be left open pending mediation. However, I'm not sure if there would be a tremendous benefit to leaving the discussion open any longer. If mediation leads to a situation where there is agreement between the only two editors who participated in this discussion, the category can easily be re-nominated. | May 31 |
| Category:Religious buildings | not moved | May 21 |
| Category:Religious figures | merge. I considered this discussion in conjunction with the discussion below | May 29 |
| Category:Religious freedom | speedy redirect. The additions to the category by the user who created it were highly tangential, so I've simply removed them. | May 23 |
| Category:Restaurants in Palm Springs | rename | May 12 |
| Category:Restricted-range endemic bird species | delete/rename as nominated. – | May 11 |
| Category:Retired Pacific typhoons | no consensus | May 29 |
| Category:Rivers on the Isle of Wight | speedy rename. WP:C2C per convention of Category:Rivers of England .(For |
May 5 |
| Category:Rivers on Vancouver Island | rename | May 4 |
| Category:Rockabilly Hall of Fame inductees | delete | May 6 |
| Category:Romani boxers | merge all to Category:Romani sportspeople | May 31 |
| Category:Roslagsbanan maps | delete | May 5 |
| Category:Russian-speaking countries and territories | Category not tagged. No objection to it being raised again, if the category is actually tagged. | May 25 |
| Category:Scholars by subject | merge | May 13 |
| Category:Schools in Jhusi | merge | May 12 |
| Category:Scottish comics characters | keep | May 4 |
| Category:SCRUM in Marketing | deleted by | May 26 |
| Category:Self-covers albums | no consensus. – | May 19 |
| Category:Serer basketball players | merge all to Category:Serer sportspeople | May 31 |
| Category:Set indices on lakes | keep. – | May 6 |
| Category:Shabbat | withdrawn | May 23 |
| Category:Sherry vinegar | merge | May 13 |
| Category:Skater hockey | merge | May 15 |
| Category:Slave owner | speedy delete | May 13 |
| Category:Social machines | delete. At this stage, the arguments against this being used as a set category are persuasive. It could potentially be used as a topic category, but right now there would not be enough content to populate it. | May 25 |
| Category:Social sciences methodology | rename | May 14 |
| Category:Southern Directors in Bollywood | delete | May 21 |
| Category:Southern Tang royal consorts | rename. – | May 3 |
| Sports history | Rename all, using "sport" in non-US categories | May 4 |
| Category:Sports in Rhône-Alpes | merge | May 25 |
| Sportsperson-politicians | rename all. – | May 21 |
| Category:Stake presidents of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints | delete | May 10 |
| Category:Steelpan players | merge. – | May 23 |

| Category:Subfields and areas of study related to evolutionary biology | rename to Category:Subfields of evolutionary biology | May 9 |

| Category:Sydney Roosters under 20's players | delete | May 27 |
| Category:Tamil Nadu MLAs | Rename | May 15 |

| Category:Tennant Family, South Australia | delete | May 18 |
| Category:The Story So Far (band) songs | delete | May 30 |
| Category:The Ukrainian Week | delete | May 5 |
| Category:Theories of religion | merge the 2 articles into Category:Philosophy of religion (by all means re-categorise them if this is not the best match), and remove the sub-cats, which are religions. – | May 2 |
| Category:Top sixteen professional snooker players | delete. – | May 2 |
| Category:Townsville | do not rename | May 30 |
| Category:Traditionalism | rename. – | May 29 |
| Category:Transhumanist films | speedy deleted per WP:G4 |
May 12 |
| Category:Transnational Asian sports competitions | rename to "FOOian international sports competitions" formats | May 24 |
| Category:Transportation in India by city | delete. In addition to the unopposed reason given below, the page also qualifies for speedy deletion as created by a blocked editor in defiance of the block. The editor who uses the pseudonym " | May 26 |
| Category:Transportation in Jalpaiguri City | Speedy deletion as a page created in defiance of a block. However, please feel free to create a new Category:Transport in Jalpaiguri if you think it appropriate. The editor who uses the pseudonym " | May 10 |
| Category:University of al-Karaouine alumni | rename. The fact there was "no sign of a move discussion" is being used more and more often as an oppose (especially at CFDS), and this isn't a good thing; WP:BOLD is still a thing, and there's no reason to consider an uncontroversial move a problem |
May 5 |
| Category:Upper limbs | delete (category has remained empty and has no parents) | May 18 |
