Delete. Upmerge not needed. This has nothing to do with any "precedent" as this category was created and designed for early
WP:HAWAII project use and development only, and project-use categories are in no way standardized. Because this category is no longer needed (and since the "articles needing expansion" tag and category has been largely deprecated in practice) upmerging is not necessary.

Articlise -- This seems to be a list article sitting in category space. Several of the listed people have articles. The populated category appears to be
Category:Konkani-language poets, in which some of these appear. I hope that the literary award is significant enough one to avoid the prohibition on award categories, which we habitually listify and delete.

Rename to
Category:Konkani language poets. The issue here is the language these poets wrote in. If we come across a British poet who wrote large amounts of his poetry in Konkani, there is no reason not to include him in the category. This is a poets by language used category, and should not be made into a poets by nationality category, except maybe if we have some other group of Konkani-language poets and both are large enough to justify splitting Konkani-language poets by the intersection of nationality into multipl sub-groups.

Comment on looking at the category contents I see that it is essentially an empty category. I am not sure if any of the listed people have articles, so it might be redemable, but it seems unlikely at present.

Comment I turned all the listed names into links, and they are all now red-links. Some may exist as articles under different spellings (maybe spelling out the initials or turning the names into initials) but at present this looks like creating the category before the articles. I do not know if any of these people are notable enough to warrant an article. I would guess some are.

Comment Konkani has about 3.6 million speakers, is the official language of
Goa and one of the official languages of India. However first we should probably have the category
Category:Konkani language writers and then if we get enough people there, we can make a poets sub-category. It is probably a pretty minimal number of people for the poets sub-category to be justified, but we should create these categories in an orderly manner.

Response There is not a strict limit, of course, but if there are only four or five articles, it is likely that they are well-linked together, negating the need for a category. —

Delete though I'm certainly ok with keeping the category if that means saving Lugnut's right arm. It's true that there's no set definition of "small category" but rather than measuring the size, Justin is correct in pointing out that the articles are very well interlinked and that the category is therefore not so useful in terms of browsing.

Delete suffers the same problems as all "films about" categories - as amply evidenced by BHG's comment - pure OR and SUBJ since no reliable source tells us how much about amputees is sufficient to merit qualification and no reliable source tells us that the categorized entry meets such sufficiency standards.

Delete per Carlossuarez. search for "category:films about" gives us 4 categories:rebellion, mathematics, films, filmmaking: neither "involving" nor "about" work as methods of categorization. I would recommend that these films major amputee characters be placed in
Category:Fictional amputees if not there already.

Nominator's rationale: The scope of this category has been defined since its creation as "County, city and town councils in the
Republic of Ireland", but the use of the word "Irish" in the category name is ambiguous, and could refer to either the 32-county island of
Ireland or the 26-county state called Ireland an described as the
Republic of Ireland.
Rename Support nominator's rationale. (Note: I created that cat nearly 7 years ago. At the time I didn't pay much attention to naming convention. Possibly best if that was addressed/corrected now).

The category structure and naming convention has evolved over time, and I'm not sure how well evolved the Irish categories were was back in 2005. There has certainly been a lot of standardisation work since then, so there may not have been much there for you to pay attention to. :) --

Rename - support per nominator's rationale. Also I pedantically note that this category will use in, the parent also uses in - Local authorities in Ireland, but the sister category is Local authorities of Northern Ireland.

Well-spotted, Snappy. Maybe I should have mentioned that in the nomination.
Rename per nominator, and also because these bodies are generally collectively termed "local authorities"; when I saw the notification about this CfD, I was wondering whether the category related to the local authorities or just their elected councils.

Nominator's rationale: Ekumen was speedily renamed to hainish cycle, but this sub cat was not separately nominated. rename for same reason, the Ekumen is a fictional, in universe name, Hainish cycle is the term used by readers and scholars for the works in general.
