- Nominator's rationale: Non-notable intersections by ethnicity per WP:OCEGRS; emphasis on earlier LaundryPizza03 explanation ( here) that WP:NARROWCAT applies regardless. We don't categorize people by occupation of a Foo country by ethnicity, religion, etc.
- It concerns WP:CATDEF; WP:NONDEFINING, WP:ETHNICRACECAT refers to WP:COP ( WP:COP#N/ WP:COPHERITAGE);
- As a sidenote, many, if not all, articles lack references to prove the claim laid in the category; it's all doing of one and the same editor with a knack for creating distinct categories based on ethnicity.

- Oh wait, I misunderstood this category. I thought it was "ethnic Croats living in BiH who are scientists", but it's "people living in Croatia who are scientists and who also just so happen to have been born in BiH". That last bit is trivial yes. Unless "BiH brain drain to Croatia" was a well-recognised phenomenon with a main article, then perhaps, but not like this. Manual merge then.

- Comment.@ Marcocapelle:; @ Nederlandse Leeuw:, before someone plunges into sea of blp's and bio's for checking which should or should not be up/manually merged, following could info be useful for anyone considering exactly that. The thing with these Croat of foo-occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is that they are doing of one editor with a knack for creating these "ethnicized categories", so to speak, under Bosnia and Herzegovina for the sole purpose of separating blp's/bio's based on one ethnic identity, and that all Croat foo-occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina cats are recently created over a period of just day or two. However, and here I was almost compelled writing "needles to say....", most if not all of the blp/bio articles categorized with these nominated for deletion categories were/are already properly categorized in either Croatian foo-occupation, Bosnia and Herzegovina foo-occupation, or in some cases both. In other words, it is fairly reasonable and safe to assume that no need for up/manual merge actually exist at all. If some of the bio articles had not been categorized as either Croatian foo-occupation or Bosnia and Herzegovina foo-occupation it's either a fluke and/or it is because there is no sources-based discussion in them mentioning blp's/bio's adherence to one or the other country.in the first place.-- ౪ Santa ౪ 99° 23:24, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

In the short term the main objective is to address urgently the impact made by the financial crisis on households, and prevent households from becoming victims of unfair and possibly illegal confiscation of property as well as unsustainable debt and social disintegration.

- Split per nom. Some of the children of Category:European legendary creatures are also language-family-based, such as Category:Finno-Ugric legendary creatures; I would upmerge that. Similarly I'm not sure everything in, say, Category:Scottish legendary creatures should be considered Category:Celtic legendary creatures. E.g. the Morag (lake monster) was reportedly first sighted in 1887, but other than that its name derives from a lake which has a Scottish Gaelic name, I wouldn't say there is anything "Celtic" about the purported monster, or at least the claim that there is one. It has a lot to do with 19th-century Scottish culture, but not really with the Celtic languages family. But that's a next step, right? Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 06:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
