The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 07:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: That, for example
WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic of the species. Note: a merge to Category:Arthropods of Europe is unnecessary as all the articles currently in the category are already in subcats of that category. DexDor (talk) 21:27, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: That, for example,
WP:NON-DEFINING characteristic of the species. Note: These could instead be upmerged to Category:Birds of Southeast Asia. Example of a previous similar CFD: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_May_18#Category:Birds_of_the_Palestinian_territories. DexDor (talk) 20:42, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply

Malesia
Can you explain more precisely how you think the birds found in this area should be geographically categorized (in a way that avoids a bird being in lots of categories). Perhaps Malesia would be the right sort of size. DexDor (talk) 05:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sunda, Wallacea, and Sahul
The birds would end up in Category:Birds of Wallacea ; Category:Birds of Asian Malesia ; Category:Birds of tropical Sahul ; and Category:Birds of Indonesia ; So the island categories would collapse into either Sunda (Asian Malesia), Wallacea (neither Asia nor Sahul), or Sahul (Papua) -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 06:41, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Do you really want to open the can of worms re: Borneo? Not all of Borneo falls into Indonesia: part of the island (two states) belongs to Malaysia, and part is the Sultanate of Brunei. MeegsC (talk) 19:59, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Categorising birds (and other fauna) into political (as opposed to biogreographical) entities is largely meaningless. If anything, a category such as Birds of Indonesia should be deleted in favour of categorising the birds of its component islands. Birds of Lombok (for example) is more meaningful thasn Birds of Indonesia. Maias (talk) 02:21, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Looks like a typical
WP:SMALLCAT to me. Zero potential for growth. There has only ever been one Führer of Nazi Germany, and there will ever only be one Führer of Nazi Germany. Nymf (talk) 13:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply

  • Because there's only one of them, for starters? It isn't a small grouping like the others - there is no group. He already has an eponymous category and he's in the other categories as pointed out below. But I can see you had a logic for it -- sorry I called it bizarre.

I've fixed refs to 2 categories in the above comment. DexDor (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvioulsy delete -- Save that Doenitz briefly succeeded Hitler after his suicide, there is no room for expansion beyond one member. Nazi Germany does not consistitute a separate country from Imperial Germany and Weimar Germany: the country was Germany. The subsequent Federal and Democratic republics of 1945-89 need to be treated separately, but we again have a unified Germany. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:30, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
