Nominator's rationale: Illinois was granted statehood in 1818 and thus Illinois Territory became Illinois. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:09, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of these establishments took place before Illinois became a state. The transition happened by December 3rd. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Many are political positions that were established when Illinois was granted statehood. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:58, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Bahrain Bourse (BHB) is the only licensed stock exchange of the Kingdom of Bahrain source. We don't need a category for a single entry. Uhooep (talk) 17:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's bad practice to empty a category prior to CfD. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know. I've undone the action. Uhooep (talk) 17:46, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reverting that emptying, Uhooep. If this discussion closes as Delete, then the category will be emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 17:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire so a separate descent category is not very meaningful in this case. "Albanian" is not defining for the one article in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I do wonder if creating a redirect to People of Albanian descent OR Albanian people from the Ottoman Empire, might be helpful in discouraging the page's recreation Mason (talk) 14:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
