The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering ( talk) 20:02, 6 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Maintaining suck a difference between defunct and former teams for a league that folded more than a century ago isn't beneficial. (Especially as of now only two teams exist.) Armbrust The Homunculus 16:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support If the league still exists, this distinction makes sense, but not in this case. RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:46, 30 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Merge -- The important thing is that they were members at the time, not whether they survive, which is presumably the basis of the second. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:10, 3 May 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac 1 5 18:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I propose to rename these categories to the pattern "X basin", in line with most other categories for river drainage basins. Markussep Talk 12:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Comment: the word "River" is sometimes used as disambiguation (which is clearer when it's in parentheses, like the Vantaa example), but it's not part of the name of the river, at least not in these cases. I don't think any confusion about the basin is possible in cases where a city and a river share the same name. Markussep Talk 18:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Note - elsewhere 'drainage' was added, in 5 cfds on the same day starting with Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_February_4#Category:Congo_basin. Oculi ( talk) 23:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support River should not be part of the title, but part of the links in the category definition. Dimadick ( talk) 16:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, articles and categories should be renamed to "(river)" if "River" is not part of their proper name. But it should start with the article names. Marcocapelle ( talk) 04:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC) reply
You're right, I just started a discussion for that at WT:RIVERS#Article_titles_for_rivers_in_Russia,_Ukraine_and_Belarus. Do you mean that if a river is ambiguous with e.g. a city or a surname and is therefore at "X (river)", the related categories should include "(river)" as well?

  • Oppose per Oculi. Armbrust The Homunculus 19:42, 30 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose per Oculi. If any of the articles are renamed at a RM discussion, the categories can be speedily renamed per WP:C2D. But as Oculi notes, the category names should follow their respective article titles ... so no rename withwithout an RM. - BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 21:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC) reply
OK, good point, this discussion can be closed then. Depending on the outcome of the discussion at WT:RIVERS, I'll use WP:CFDS then. Is it OK if I list Category:Dnieper River system for speedy rename now, or do I have to wait until this discussion is closed? Markussep Talk 08:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC) reply
  • I suppose it's alright to have Category:Dnieper River system on CFDS right now. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC) reply

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. Giant Snowman 17:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Match article name once RM has been decided. Polite reminder to @ Fuddle: to sort out the article location issue before trying to move the related category... Giant Snowman 17:09, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per the article Monsters in Dungeons & Dragons as well as List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters, in both they are referred to as "monsters" rather than creatures, making the current title inaccurate. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 01:22, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support in the spirit of WP:C2D. Please also nominate the subcategory for the same reason. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support to bring in line with the title of the lead article. oknazevad ( talk) 14:29, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
The British Cycling Hall of Fame was founded in 2009 and has wall plaques in the Manchester Velodrome (see here). The vast majority of these articles mention the award in passing with others, maybe a fourth don't mention it at all and 3 mention it in the lede so it doesn't seem defining. (In contrast, the Tour de France and Olympics are universally in the intro, if applicable.) We already have the winners listified here in the main article. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 15:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD and WP:OCASSOC)
DeMolay International is a Masonic youth organization for boys/men aged 12-21. This award is given to men who, decades later, become politicians, astronauts, celebrities or are otherwise prominent. The success of people like Paul Harvey, John Steinbeck and Bill Clinton seems to have little direct connection to this group or Free Masons generally though. The contents of the category are already listified here for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC) reply
