Per
WP:SMALLCAT, these are categories with little potential for reaching the standard of 5 or more articles. I've not included categories with 4 articles within them as they are close to meeting the standard.--

Support -- The general rule is that most local churches are NN. The fact that a town may have more churches apart from those with articles is thus not a reason for keeping categories that are too small.

Upmerge Iraq, Oppose Socotra (which was not tagged for CfD, I have fixed that for you). Socotra should not have been included in that previous AfD, as, unlike all of the other nominations there, which were in fact perfectly cromulent, it is not a by-nationality category, but a by-geography category. Islands often have distinct faunas, and by-geography cats are entirely reasonable, particarly as at a glance there are 5 species endemic to the island -
WP:DEFINING in its most literal sense as they are found nowhere else - and another that is only found there and on two tiny neighboring islands. -

Upmerge Iraq. Socotra consists of an endemic category, a sparrow endemic to one of its islands and a non-endemic bird. The sparrow probably needs to be moved to the endemic category and the whole then upmerged, so that the endemic one comes directly under Middle East.

The result of the discussion was:delete. I will create a category disambiguation page per
User:Marcocapelle's suggestion, but this should be considered an editorial action separate from the consensus in this discussion. --

delete The parent of the "X manufacturers" categories is
Category:Manufacturing companies, not this. One presumes that there is already a category of people who are notable for making things, or businessmen who may or may not have owned manufacturing companies, and the one member of this category now surely ought to already have a home somewhere in those structures.

I can't see what is gained by listing them as a subcategory of subspecialities. Other subspecialities are not listed there, and it's not obvious what exactly constitutes a subspeciality, as opposed to a field of interest or research.

support with caveat I agree with the reason for upmerge, but part of the issue here is one could question whether some of the categories and texts involved do concern Jewish texts. Are the Samaritans Jews? Are Josephus's writings "Jewish" simply because he was? This seems to be a category of somewhat marginal texts as much as anything else.

Merge as for other similar noms. The fauna of the territories will differ little from that of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon or Syria. Having a category like this for every country is a gross case of overcategorisation, leading to category clutter. As this is a re-creation, it needs to be salted.

Nominator's rationale: merge per
WP:SMALLCAT, most categories only have one or two articles. Note that the 18th-century categories don't require a second merge target since all articles are in an 18th-century by continent subcategory already.

Oppose in part -- No problem with the early cases, but after (say) 1500, I would prefer to see us merging to decades, not centuries, at least initially. There is more to populate these with. For example England had two general elections in 1640, which does not appear in the list.

Merge all as nominated to XXth century elections and XXXX in politics, and consider splits by decade later. With regard to Peterkingiron's comment above,
Category:16th-century elections has 27 member articles in total and
Category:17th-century elections has 31 member articles in total, which on average is 2.7 and 3.1 articles per decade, respectively. I don't think that's quite sufficient to warrant implementing a decade-level scheme. @
Marcocapelle: In your nomination, why do you not propose merging categories for 1701 and later to
Category:18th-century elections? --

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Merge some, or merge all? Further opinions needed.
