There's no need to have three separate micro-discussions which combined fail to address the breadth of the problem. The biographical cats were all created by the same (at the time, fairly new) editor as vanity categories to account for an incidental intersection and fail
WP:CATDEFINING. Of the four biographies contained in these four categories, only
Dennis Schmitt comes anywhere near close to having his notability defined by his association with the place. The notability of
Nora Guinn and
Jay Ramras are both plainly defined by their association with other places. The parent cats were all created weeks after the biographical cats by another editor strictly as container cats, failing to consider whether there was other eligible content (cultural or education or language topics, NRHP sites, etc.) with which to populate the cats. Even if that effort was made, it's highly unlikely there would be enough content to justify such highly specific cats. I'm asking for deletion rather than merging; leaving a redirect would serve no purpose as it was a mistake to create these cats in the first place.

Remember, I'm not the one who spends all my time here dealing with only one facet of the project. Having a view of the project as a whole would help to avoid running afoul of
WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY, you know. Why would we need to split the nomination? I already explained how these useless categories have existed for years due to one editor's misbegotten notion of how categories work and another editor's lack of recognition of the first editor's intent. The existing split of this nomination has resulted in two additional discussions which are going nowhere and another category created under the same ill pretense which wasn't nominated. I get it that some editors really get off on having an endless array of single-entry categories, but it doesn't enhance the project.

Keep No meteorology would exist without social need to orient behaviour (times to harvest best; times to go for a walk w/o ice...). Don't let us pretend that this obvious connection is not basic. Behaviour is the "invisible elephant" in that field. So better keep it as it is. --

Support It appears to me that the current members of the category are indeed about health rather than behavior. I don't know if we actually have articles that discuss relationships between behavior and weather the way a comment further up describes; it is of course of significance but the category as currently constructed does not seem to have any such articles in it. I might also argue that topics as general as best harvest times are also covered in great detail elsewhere, but that they have far less to do with behavior than they do with just when something needs done if people want to benefit from it. In that case, the connection with human behavior is so general I doubt it needs categorization. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist(Speak quickly)(Follow my trail)22:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)reply

CErtainly merge but preferably as suggested by
Marcocapelle, not as nom. I had to look a long way to find what
Latgale is. It is a division of Latvia that was earlier Lithuanian and thus largely Catholic, where as the rest of Latvia is part of the former Swedish Baltic provinces and thus Lutheran. The area was briefly independent during the break up of the Russian Empire, but incorporated into Latvia about a century ago, so that I see Latvia categories as the appropriate merge target.
