- Nominator's rationale: Anachronism. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932. AFAICS, in 1744 this area was part of the Ottoman Empire BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 21:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- @ Armbrust: yes. I haven't investigated how far these anchronism extend. I just spotted these new 18th-century cats. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:14, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Notifications: I have notified [1] WikiProject Saudi Arabia. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 14:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: This may be unnecessarily pedantic, but the first Saudi state existed from 1744–1818, and the second Saudi state from 1824–1891. Do we need to capture all that detail in the category tree? I don't know, I'm neutral on deleting these. -- Cerebellum ( talk) 15:19, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support, Emirate of Diriyah is the only article in these categories that really is about the 18th century. If more articles would have existed I would have suggested merging all of it to Category:Emirate of Diriyah. 21:39, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support I have boldly created Category:Establishments in the Arabian Peninsula to contain all the articles in the nominated categories. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 13:54, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support -- The various emirates in the Arabian peninsula might need a category each, if there were enough articles to populate them adequately. In the meantime "Arabian Peninsula" categories will do the job well. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:51, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Amalgam Comics characters to Category:Amalgam Comics
- Nominator's rationale: List of Amalgam Comics characters should be upmerged to all three categories. The others are all redirects. All child categories are filled with redirects, so none of them need to be merged. TTN ( talk) 14:26, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Storytelling societies to Category:Storytelling organizations
- Nominator's rationale: While it's true that some organizations are called "societies", there isn't a meaningful or defining distinction between "societies" and other types of organizations in this context — so the result was that some non-"society" organizations were getting filed here anyway, while others were just being thrown directly into the parent Category:Storytelling instead. There should be just one category for all types of storytelling organizations, not one for the "societies" and none for the other kinds of organizations. Bearcat ( talk) 15:45, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

- Suggest creating Category:Storytelling organizations as a parent for Category:Storytelling societies. There are XXX organizations which are not XXX societies. Category:Literary societies seems to have been subcatted by editors with little grasp of parent/child/neither distinctions. Oculi ( talk) 07:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Match the parent article, K. V. Reddy. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment, alternatively the article could be moved back to its original name. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:44, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Done, seeing as there was no discussion to move it to the shortened name. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:30, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose nomination, as there hasn't been any further discussion about the article name. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: WP:COMMONNAME also applies; see how many results K. V. Reddy renders when compared to Kadiri Venkata Reddy. In film credits ( an example here at 1:01), the abbreviated name is used. In fact, Rajasekhar1961 had (maybe he still does) this bad habit of moving articles of film personalities to longer titles instead of their common names (eg: he moved Padmanabham to Basavaraju Venkata Padmanabha Rao with the reasoning, "His complete correct name"). -- Kailash29792 (talk) 06:19, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
