Nominator's rationale: And merge back to parent category Category:Lists of cities in Africa. There is no need to make a category for these. ― Justin (koavf)TCM 23:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC) reply
The guideline says a list of lists should also be available as an alphabetical category. That is, there should be a category with the same content as the list. The list of lists provides a place to give introductory information and to arrange the lists, perhaps breaking them up by sub-headings or sorting by size, whatever, while the category gives the same set of lists arranged alphabetically. In this case, we have a list with two entries and a matching category with the ssame two entries in the same sequence, which is technically correct, but a bit daft. I would say they should both be deleted, but the list of lists first. Aymatth2 ( talk) 13:32, 12 November 2019 (UTC) reply
The subject of "lists of lists" is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:Stand-alone lists#Proposed "List of lists" template and Wikipedia:Lists of lists, started today. All comments welcome. See Category:Short lists of lists, started yesterday, for other lists / categories that perhaps should also be deleted. This will grow. I would prefer to deal as a whole with this and similar lists / categories that only have a few entries once the principles are clearer. Aymatth2 ( talk) 00:41, 13 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a TV show without the volume of spinoff content necessary to warrant one: apart from the eponym itself, this contains one of the show's producers and two of its puppeteers, meaning that it also violates both WP:SMALLCAT and WP:PERFCAT.

Nominator's rationale: Overly narrow subcategorization scheme within ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:LGBT people. WikiProject LGBT and CFD both have a longstanding consensus that we do not want every category in the entire LGBT tree to be obsessively subcategorized all the way down to gay men vs. lesbian women vs. bisexual men vs. bisexual women vs. trans men vs. trans women. We permit that in a few specific instances, such as "LGBT occupation" categories that have hundreds or thousands of entries and need diffusion — but in most branches, including ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:LGBT people by nationality, we want the categories kept at the common "LGBT" level rather than always being quadrantized into separate subcategories for each individual subgroup. Similar categories do not, and should not, exist for "Gay men by nationality", or "Lesbians by nationality", or "Bisexual people by nationality", or "Queer people by nationality" or even "Transgender and transsexual men by nationality", and there's no compelling reason why transgender women need this more than any other subgroup of the LGBTQ community would: either they all get this treatment or none of them do, and there's no good reason why they should all get this treatment. And furthermore, three of these subcategories are WP:SMALLCATs with just one or two people in them. Bearcat ( talk) 17:57, 11 November 2019 (UTC) reply
