Nominator's rationale: Salem is a small town of under 1,000 people and with just two entries, one of which is the town article itself. It is too small for its own town category page.

Delete per size of category. The size of the town is irrelevant - a town with 100 notable people would deserve its own category even if no one else lived there.

Comment. In the category tree there are quite a few occupation x blindness and occupation x deafness sibling categories. One might argue that disabilities like blindness and deafness are a big hinder in every occupation, hence all intersections should be allowed. Or if not, the question becomes where we draw the line, which intersections do we allow and which not?

Keep; barring the
last couple of centuries, such disabilities have been highly significant; they've often influenced international politics, since it's comparatively easy to take advantage of your rival if the king is blind or deaf. This category should exclude former monarchs who were blinded or de-eared during the process of deposition (e.g.
Zedekiah or
Michael V Kalaphates), because what happens post-deposition isn't particularly relevant to this specific issue.

Nominator's rationale: Rename and restructure to become a sub-cat of
Category:Crystals. The article
Crystal equates "crystal" and "crystalline solid", but says that most metals & ceramics are polycrystalline solids. A small amount of recategorising will be required. –

First, I apologize for not speaking with you on categorisation, I agree renaming this category to the more suitable name furanone which match also the coming main article. 00:38, 3 July 2017 (UTC)حسن علي البط

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category redirect. The final dot in title makes category unusable and useless, IMO. If someone wants, they can create a similar category redirect but without any additional unnecessary punctuation marks in title.

Delete. I declined something at the county fair in my first year in
4-H, mostly due to a misunderstanding. If I became notable and someone wrote an article about me, this incident wouldn't be worth mentioning in my article, and categorising me this way would be even less useful than mentioning the incident. I agree that it would be useful to have a category for people who turned down a really major award, as long as the award had been declined by enough people to warrant having that category. Do we have any decliner-by-award categories? If there are several, this could perhaps be converted into a metacategory.

Nominator's rationale:merge or reverse merge, since the Dutch Republic does no longer exist, the scope of the two categories coincides.

Support -- preferably as nom (not reverse). We have had a lot of unnecessary Dutch Republic categories created, which need pruning away.

You are right. Let's then at least upmerge the category to its parents (rather than straight delete), in order to keep the content within the respective trees. Then related categories may be nominated together in a later stage.

Delete as redundant to
Category:Films set on ships, merging anything not in the latter category to the appropriate island/whatever category. "IN sea" is not standard usage; "at sea" means on a vessel. If you are on an island, you aren't at sea, and that's what the "by ocean" categories tend to gather up. Possibly things set on boats need to be categorized by where the boat is as well.

"At sea" need not mean just a vessel; The Castaways on Gilligan's Island is set on the shores of an uncharted desert isle, the whole premise being based on the fact that they're at sea, and it would fit quite well into a category of this sort. Also consider a naval aviation film that's entirely or almost entirely in the air (it's undeniably at sea, and the ships are only a tiny portion of the action), or
Jaws (film), which is definitely an ocean movie, and it doesn't appear to be set on a ship.

"Ashore" is essentially the opposite of "at sea". Having read our synopsis of of the movie you give as an example, it's set ashore (on the island) and in the air, but not at sea; indeed, boats seem hardly to be involved.
