Nominator's rationale: Small one-county community with just one entry. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:51, 9 February 2022 (UTC) reply
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.

Nominator's rationale: The current name looks like trivial intersection, but since there's a link between weather and health, this could be a thing. Brandmeister talk 14:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • 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

Nominator's rationale: There are only 2 articles - not enough to divide by century. Rathfelder ( talk) 09:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Alt merge per WP:OCEGRS (trivial intersection between occupation and ethnicity):
I will tag the first category too. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:48, 9 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.
