- Nominator's rationale: merge or reverse merge, in a former empire political history and politics coincide. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:31, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Comment. Seems reasonable. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:01, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Merge upwards both to Politics (as nom) and History cats. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- While Category:History of the Ottoman Empire seems an obvious second merge target, former countries categories have the peculiarity that the entire former country category concerns history. Probably as a result of that, in practice the history category is mainly used for content that doesn't fit anywhere else in the former country category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:09, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Convexity in economics to Category:General equilibrium theory
- Nominator's rationale: very narrow topic. In fact, all classification references that are mentioned on the category page (JEL and MSN) regard much broader topics than convexity in economics. No need to merge to the other parent category since that is a purely mathematical category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:28, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Full upmerge -- The fact that the category needs a short article to define it says it all. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename as option B. ℯ xplicit 23:59, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Propose renaming under one of the following options:
- Option A - "Organizations" to "Organisations"
-
Category:Organizations based in Angola to
Category:Organisations based in Angola
- Category:Defunct organizations based in Angola to Category:Defunct organisations based in Angola
- Category:Sports organizations of Angola to Category:Sports organisations of Angola
- Category:Youth organizations based in Angola to Category:Youth organisations based in Angola
- Category:Wikipedia categories named after organizations based in Angola to Category:Wikipedia categories named after organisations based in Angola
- Option B - "Organisations" to "Organizations"
- Category:Lists of organisations based in Angola to Category:Lists of organizations based in Angola
- Category:Medical and health organisations based in Angola to Category:Medical and health organizations based in Angola
- Rationale: These categories all have the same national scope, so they should have the same ENGVAR usage. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:28, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
The following discussions have been opened to handle similar issues for other countries

- Option B – the parent category is Category:Organizations based in Angola and has been stable since 2009. Editors adding subcats should honour the parent and not muddy the waters by using their own personal preference. Oculi ( talk) 08:47, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Option A -- Angola was a Portuguese colony, and should follow the usage for Portugal, which I would expect to follow British English. I expect that there is a cognate word in Portuguese and that it will be spelt with an "s". Greece should not be used as a precedent as Classical Greek has a lot of verbs ending izo. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Peterkingiron ( talk · contribs) Are you for real? I can't begin to understand the logical gymnastics you must have performed to reach such an exotic conclusion. Meanwhile the Portuguese word is Organização, anyway. AusLondonder ( talk) 17:25, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Option B Per WP:RETAIN to match the parent category, which is at Category:Organizations based in Angola and has been since 2009. Angola has absolutely zero WP:TIES to any particular variety of English, as a non-English speaking country. AusLondonder ( talk) 17:25, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for providing the Portuguese word ç is pronounced like an S not a Z.

- The result of the discussion was: delete both category and template ( non-admin closure). Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:00, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated, undiscussed stub type per WP:WSS/P. Created by a new editor, who we can assume hasn't consulted the policies in stub category creation. We already have a Category:2010s_Tamil-language_film_stubs and a further subcategory is unnecessary. The template is set to a redirect, but stub templates are dealt with here per WP:CFD. Please remove Template:2017-Tamil-film-stub as well. Keira 1996 04:31, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 06:49, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- You may have meant Category:2017s Tamil-language film stubs which is empty and was never tagged. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 16:46, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
- Comment the nomination very probably concerns Template:2017-Tamil-film-stub which has been tagged. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:47, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
- You are correct, thank you. I made a typo as the template is singular while the category is plural, thanks again for the catch. Fixed! Keira 1996 02:56, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Non-notable intersection of LGBT people and Centenarians. TM 00:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as nominated and move current entries to the appropriate subcategory of Category:Centenarians by nationality. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 05:54, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
