Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. These two categories aren't helpful for navigation with only one person in each, and isolated from other Indian biographers centuries by a thousand years Mason (talk) 21:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:
WP:ARBITRARYCAT. Indirect follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 5#Category:Eastern Europe in fiction and other precedents. There is no universally agreed definition of "Eastern Europe" (or "Western/Northern/Southern/Central/Southeastern etc. Europe"), and as such, it is usually better avoided in categorisation. There is no Category:History books about Southern Europe or Category:History books about Central Europe etc. either. The subcategories are not about "Eastern Europe" as such or specifically. The 6 articles in it are arguably about "Eastern Europe" (again depending on definition), but not just "Eastern Europe"; most of them include Poland, Hungary, Romana, Western Ukraine etc. which are sometimes also considered "Central Europe" or "Southeastern Europe". Even the last book, The Walls Came Tumbling Down: The Collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe, which has "Eastern Europe" in the title, is using a Cold War era definition that almost nobody uses anymore. Meanwhile, the target Category:History books about Europe also includes books such as Revolution 1989: The Fall of the Soviet Empire, so I think upmerging is the proper thing to do.

Nominator's rationale: Nintendo is a Japanese company. There is no non-Japanese Nintendo games (except those from its western developer Retro Studios which created only a handful of titles). There is significant overlapping for both Category:Video games developed in Japan and Category:Nintendo games. OceanHok (talk) 09:43, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. It's also not defining for the pages involved. Mason (talk) 14:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
