- The result of the discussion was: Move to Category:Mario video games. Nomination withdrawn. (non-admin closure) JOE BRO 64 11:11, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic for games. I think WP:OR could also apply here, because you could argue that Perfect Dark takes place in the Mario universe because it's in Rare Replay and Banjo-Kazooie is in Rare Replay and Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie appears in Diddy Kong Racing. JOE BRO 64 23:42, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose - Simply change the name (and therefore the scope) to just Category:Mario video games, which would follow other common categories like Category:The Legend of Zelda video games. ~ Dissident93 ( talk) 04:33, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Birmingham Bears cricketers to Category:Warwickshire cricketers
- Nominator's rationale: As per consensus on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Birmingham Bears Twenty20 Cricket Club, Birmingham Bears are not a distinct club from Warwickshire CCC, but are just the name for Warwickshire's T20 team. As the pages are getting merge, so should these categories Joseph 2302 ( talk) 19:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Beetles of the British Isles to Category:Beetles of Europe
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining e.g. for Aleochara. See previous CFDs e.g. for spiders. For info: there is a list that is much more comprehensive than the category. DexDor (talk) 19:06, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Automobiles to Category:Cars
- Nominator's rationale: I tried to get this done through speedy, but now I'm here. The main article was moved from ' automobile' to ' car' four years ago, and this subject is clearly the primary topic of the word 'cars'. Consistency with the main article is desirable, and 'cars' is a better title for the category for all the reasons we moved the article. There is already a category for motor vehicles broadly, to match with the article motor vehicle, so that should not be an issue. Can we tidy this up? RGloucester — ☎ 16:21, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

- Support in the spirit of WP:C2D. Having the article at the new title for four years is a sufficiently long time. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support, noting that there are many sub-cats which would need to be renamed accordingly. If this looks like it will be approved, I suggest that someone re-lists it, adding at least the main sub-cats at the next level, after which the rest could follow as speedy. – Fayenatic London 20:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Establishments in Lower Burma by year to Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year
- Propose merging Category:1852 establishments in Lower Burma to Category:1852 establishments in Burma and Category:1852 establishments in the British Empire
- Propose merging Category:1861 establishments in Lower Burma to Category:1861 establishments in Burma and Category:1861 establishments in the British Empire
- Nominator's rationale: these outliers within Category:Establishments in Myanmar by year do not help navigation. Note: Upper Burma, ruled by the Konbaung dynasty, remained independent of Britain until 1885, so I agree that Category:1852 establishments in Burma etc should not be sub-cats of British Empire. – Fayenatic London 09:57, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Alternatively, merge the first one but keep the others, and split/rename all the establishments and year categories within Category:Years of the 19th century in Burma from 1824 to 1885 to Lower Burma / Upper Burma. I think only 1852 would require both. – Fayenatic London 10:31, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support for consistency. If desired, the alternative should be discussed in a separate nomination. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:59, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:U.S. Highways by state to Category:U.S. highways by state
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary capitalization of "highways". Should also apply to all 49 subcategories (are there no highways in Hawaii?) Brad v 05:28, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Comment these are specifically about roads that are part of the United States Numbered Highway System, which indeed is not in Hawaii. ( Alaska Route 2 isn't actually part of that system either, though it was proposed at one point). The various Category:Interstate Highways in Wyoming categories are a similar (and possibly stronger) argument to rename to avoid excessive capitalization. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 05:52, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose The nom would be correct if this was a set of descriptive titles per WP:NDESC ... but it isn't.
- This is a set of cats based on a proper name, the capitalised United States Numbered Highway System, known as "U.S. Highways" for short. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 21:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- oppose since it's a proper name: see United States Numbered Highway System. Mangoe ( talk) 15:10, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Support Since there is no entity called "U.S. Highways", then it is not a title. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 20:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you are incorrect. Mangoe ( talk) 20:53, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. U.S. Highways refer specifically to the United States Numbered Highway System. – Fredddie ™ 04:02, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per proper name of system and component highways. Sounder Bruce 04:03, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose because this refers to just the U.S. Highways, not the U.S. highways (meaning any highway in the US). -- Rs chen 7754 05:41, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
