Category:Islamic alchemyCategory:Alchemy and chemistry in the medieval Islamic world. – Fayenatic London 19:09, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom. The second target has been nominated for speedy renaming to Category: Science in the medieval Islamic world. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:36, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support -- I suspect the problem is with the title of the one article. Chemistry is an inappropriate term for periods before the 18th century, when there was so little understanding of the subject. The article should probably be renamed to Alchemy in the medieval Islamic world. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:01, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Same reason as the deletion for Dead By Daylight characters and Heroes of the Storm- according to the standards of their deletion, this is not defining.
In addition, this category contains no original characters while DBD did. It is unfair for one immensely popular crossover game to be represented with a characters category while another doesn't. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 18:46, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, don't think rationale makes sense. Super Smash Bros. may have more coverage in reliable sources. Andre 🚐 21:53, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Unlike Dead by Daylight, several characters are primarily notable for appearing in Smash, such as Falco Lombardi, Min Min (character), Captain Falcon, and Mr. Game & Watch. Alongside several others who Smash is a big part of their notability or reception, including Robin (Fire Emblem), King K. Rool, Villager (Animal Crossing), and Captain Olimar; I would say that this category, unlike Dead by Daylight or Heroes of the Storm categories, is fully defining. Not to mention that Smash Bros is a franchise that has existed for over 20 years and both Dead by Daylight and Heroes of the Storm are less than 10 years old.

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Welsh male writers. Disclosure: I am closing this despite being WP:INVOLVED, because there is no disagreement, and it may be that other editors are preferring not to close it because it looks confusing. – Fayenatic London 11:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Britain did not exist until 1707 Rathfelder ( talk) 19:41, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Comment, all four articles are about Welsh writers. They were not exactly English, but they were from the kingdom of England in any case. That may be good enough. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:08, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
- Alt1 Delete both Category:17th-century British people by occupation and Category:17th-century British male writers. We already have Category:17th-century Welsh people by occupation. The 4 members of the nominated category are also members of this category. So this becomes a straight delete decision rather than a merge. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 10:13, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support complete deletion -- At the bottom of this are there are 4 Welshmen, 3 divines and a poet. Wales has always been a distinct polity from England, though the legal distinctions at this period were slight. Describing Welsh people as English is highly offensive.

- Nominator's rationale: Category:Cricket administration is already a child of Category:Cricket so there is no need for it to be here also. Category:Cricket clubs is empty, probably because all relevant articles are in Category:Cricket teams. Category:Cricket leagues is both large enough and significant enough to be promoted to Category:Cricket. BoJó | talk UTC 15:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - part of
Category:Sports organizations by sport. Wonder why there are no cricket clubs (a team is not a club).

- Nomination withdrawn. Hello, Oculi. I overlooked the need for this to be part of Sports Organisations so I'll withdraw the request. Thanks also for dealing with the clubs redirect. It puzzles me too that we have a massively populated teams category instead. As you say, a team is one part of a club. BoJó | talk UTC 18:26, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge, these are unnecessary layers; each has only one parent and two sub-cats.

Ulster loyalism is quite distinct from Ulster unionism; and (2) I have counted 22 sub-cats, so it is by no means under-populated.

Category:Militant unionism is already in the parent category and other than that just two articles would be added in case of a merge.
Marcocapelle (

11:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't mean that it was too large to upmerge, only that it was not too small to be left as it is.
- So Militant unionism and Ulster loyalist organisations are subcats of Ulster unionism and also of Ulster loyalism, which is also a subcat of Ulster unionism. Weird! I'd be inclined to take both of them out of the parent category and leave them in this one.
