Nominator's rationale: Category with only two articles. One the main topic, and the other a list. Now that is just redundant. Articles are also already located in "Penny Arcade (webcomic)"

Yes, I think a Reverse merge would work, at least for those who were Arab. We should check for Persian, Turkic etc. historians in the MIW cat.

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Currently empty but, until just now, it had only Leeds United in it. A total of 51 clubs have played in the Premier League and all except Leeds were in
Category:Premier League clubs. Has someone been having a laugh? If the PLC category is meant to hold all 51 clubs, then FPLC is redundant. On the other hand, keeping FPLC will mean seasonal updates in both categories which no one will want to do.

There seems to be no set purpose for the
Category:Association football clubs by former league and its subcats. Are we talking about defunct clubs, or about clubs that have gone upwards from an amateur league to a professional one, or about all promotions/relegations. Take
Category:Former Highland Football League teams for example. This includes Aberdeen, whose first team never played in the league, although one of their reserve teams did. Then there are four other clubs currently in the SPFL, three former clubs which became entities of Caley Thistle, and three fully defunct clubs. What exactly is the scope of that category?
As for the FPLC category, it is obviously not being maintained and I doubt if it ever will be. I'd have thought that the scope of
Category:Premier League clubs is clubs whose teams have played in the PL, even if for only one season back in the 1990s. Similarly, I would expect to find the likes of Cove Rangers in
Category:Highland Football League teams, as well as in the SPFL category.
We have to remember that categories provide essential navigation for the readers and so their scope and purpose must be certain. The use of "former" in a category title is bound to confuse and mislead. Does it mean "defunct" (like Wimbledon), does it mean "once upon a time" (like Oldham), or does it mean "not at the moment" (like Leeds).

It's an excellent point by
Perspicax and I admit it didn't occur to me. I agree the proposed discussion is unnecessary within the context of this nomination. The question is whether relegated members of the PL, many of whom will eventually regain promotion, should be categorised as "former" or should be categorised as having played in the league. Remember that when I found
Category:Former Premier League clubs, it contained Leeds only, so it was obviously not being maintained. Teterev53 did a partial population after this nomination was raised.

Nominator's rationale:Delete; I think the two categories are unrelated and all of the sportspeople with vision issues are in the second category. If kept then rename to "
Category:Blind sportspeople" since there isn't a gap between "sports" and "people".

Delete. I would have expected this to be an extension of a main article called
Dark music, which could provide some substance and, per nomination, actually define the concept. We could do with knowing the origin of the term, which might help.

Hi,
Omnis Scientia. I see your point as a cricket writer doesn't represent his or her country like a player does. They have to take a global view of the sport, even though many are former international players. Let me think about it. Best wishes.

Nominator's rationale:delete, the category suggests that it is about the island of Great Britain (as it also contains the early 18th-century years in England and Scotland) but there aren't any sibling categories for the island, so this is merely confusing in relationship to the Kingdom of England (see below).

Rename as proposed and I think all its contents need similar action. We need to differentiate between the island and the historic kingdom.

I think the outcome of that discussion was a move in the wrong direction. The geographical entities of Great Britain and Ireland should be treated as having existed throughout history, in contrast to the political entities of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland (which, crucially, don't exactly correspond to the territory of Great Britain and of Ireland).
