Just delete -- The one article is already sufficiently categorised, including a more specific locational one.

Found its content:
Category:15th-century Dutch physicians. The beforementioned merge isn't very applicable considering the speedy rename proposal for this subcategory. Nevertheless @
Rathfelder: please do not empty a category when nominating it, it is inappropriate and very confusing.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 20:49, 3 January 2022 (UTC)reply
I think we agreed some time ago that Medieval Dutch categories were inappropriate.
Rathfelder (
talk) 21:11, 3 January 2022 (UTC)reply
That does not matter, we are not only here to discuss what is inappropriate but also to find the best alternative solution. When there is nothing left in the category it is very difficult to discuss alternative solutions.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 21:35, 3 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Delete, especially after renaming the subcat the category no longer serves a purpose.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 18:08, 6 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Notes:
Category:Medieval Dutch people has several (small) sub-cats. The only precedents I could only find are
2015_April_4 (no consensus to merge the nominated category) and
2018_June_2 (selective merge from century categories to Medieval Dutch people). –
FayenaticLondon 21:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Delete (or full upmerge). This seems to be an unnecessary level, as it is covered by
Category:Burgundian Netherlands physicians, but we should be eliminating all or most of the medieval Dutch categories in a similar way. The Duchy of Burgundy was big enough for us to have categories for it, but where the category relates to a Duchy that was not yet part of Burgundy, the merge target should be a HRE one.

Delete This is an ahistoric application of a nationality term to a time that it did not really exist, at least not in a way that we can consider it the same enough to group people together under one term.

Nominator's rationale: Small one-county community with just 3 entries.
...William, is the complaint department really on
the roof? 12:35, 3 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Keep The category already has four entries, with the addition of an article that had already been listed
Byram Township, New Jersey, but that hadn't yet had the category added (or noticed by the nominator). Does four meet the legally mandated minimum, or do we need to add more to stave off deletion?

@
Alansohn: if there are more then please add them (regardless of this deletion discussion).
Marcocapelle (
talk) 07:10, 11 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Marcocapelle, apparently, some imaginary Wikipedia policy forbids a category with three entries. I've updated the article and increased the size. How many entries are adequate to justify retention of a category?
Alansohn (
talk) 13:07, 11 January 2022 (UTC)reply
@
Alansohn: the point of categories is not securing their existance but their being as fully populated as possible. If you know 10 more articles then why wouldn't you add them?
Marcocapelle (
talk) 18:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Marcocapelle, I keep on adding entries to categories; I must have added tens of thousands. Unfortunately, time that I could have used to populate categories and making them "as fully populated as possible" is wasted by those who seem to believe that the point of categories is to delete them. The absence of any clear answer to the question of how many entries is enough only wastes even more time.
Alansohn (
talk) 22:49, 11 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Alansohn I see what you mean. The most often mentioned cut off on this platform is 5 articles.
Marcocapelle (

Keep 4 entries seems enuf for this cat.

Support per nom, it looks like a case of
WP:OCMISC. In addition it is questionable whether "listed as a Russian foreign agent" is a defining characteristic at all - but that applies to the whole tree of course.

LaundryPizza03, and
Wikisaurus: both Peterkingiron and I appear to be in favour of merging the sibling category as well so I have added this category to the nomination. Feel free to react.
