- Propose splitting Category:Spanish and Portuguese Jews to Category:Spanish Jews and Category:Portuguese Jews
- Nominator's rationale: This topic category either needs to be purged, split, or renamed. There are way too many individual people in this category instead of in Spanish Jews or Portuguese Jews Mason ( talk) 23:11, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The main article is
Spanish and Portuguese Jews. Most of the articles are not biographies, and for some historical people it is probably anachronistic to demand a split along modern borders.

- Do you also oppose purging or an alternative name to reduce the confusion? Mason ( talk) 15:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Manually merge to the tree of
Category:Sephardi Jews. The content of the nominated category is about Jewish diaspora from Spain and Portugal, so the proposed merge targets do not work. But
Category:Sephardi Jews is also about Jewish diaspora from Spain and Portugal. Probably keep a redirect.

- Propose merging Category:Norway formatting and function templates to Category:Norway templates
- Nominator's rationale: Manual merge as small category (2 templates
+ 1 subcat+ 2 subcats). If not merged, rename to Norway utility templates, following Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 28#Category:Wikipedia formatting and function templates; but no other countries have a country subcat for utility templates in Category:Wikipedia utility templates. – Fayenatic London 17:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

- Procedural oppose Similar categories in other types of media have not been nominated, so I will have to procedurally oppose this until that is fixed for consistency reasons. I will oppose moving "Mecha films" regardless of what happens due to it being an established genre. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 14:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support all except Mecha It makes the scope clearer. The term mecha is ambiguous. It may refer to mecha (fictional giant robots in humanoid form) or to the genre of mecha anime and manga which generally depicts mecha used in combat situations. Dimadick ( talk) 18:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per abundant precedent in CfD discussions. I do not have an opinion about Mecha in particular. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:19, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

- Merge per nom. Note that Category:Pages using category pair with no output contains far too many categories, it also contains categories with a successor. If applied correctly, it would be a great tool to detect isolated year and century categories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:45, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
