Category:Moomin locations[edit]
- Propose deleting Category:Moomin locations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: There is only one article in this category, with low chances that it will ever be a meaningful size. Jontesta (talk) 23:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - other articles could be added to this category: Moomin World, Moomin Museum, Metsä (theme park). Goustien (talk) 04:19, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, Moomin World, Moomin Museum, Metsä (theme park) aren't in-fiction locations so they do not fit the category tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Moomins as overly small and unnecessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: So we have two options here: Option A: "Fooian princes(ses)"; or Option B: "Princes(ses) of Foo". Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging @Marcocapelle from the speedy Cfd discussion. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:29, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- @SFBB, you can choose the options here. Then the rest of the categories in Category:Princes by country and Category:Princesses by country can be speedied. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Strongly prefer B for accuracy. When you read "Montenegrin princesses" literally then the category could also contain someone born in Montenegro, not as a princess, who marries a Spanish prince. But the intention of the category (inasfar as it concerns marriages) is people from anywhere in the world who marry a Montenegrin prince. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- This a hard one. First, both categorizations are not equivalent. German princess is not the same a princess in Germany. E.g. Marie Antoinette was the princess consort of France, but she was not French but German (as any other subject of the HRE; Austrian was not considered a nationality back then). The previous example shows how difficult is to work with nationalities, especially as our understanding of nationalities has changed over time. On the other side, the categorization based on current countries is also problematic. What do we do princesses of Prussia? (no longer in Germany) or princesses of Bohemia? (Czechia? Germany? Austria?). I think this is quite close to WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. I think that the healthiest categorization would be Prince of Entity e.g. Prince of Bohemia, Princess of the Two Sicilies, Prince of Spain, etc. (even if the entity does no longer exist). Every other option just sounds very problematic to me and poised to miscategorization.SFBB (talk) 20:21, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @SFBB, I agree. This one is a bit difficult given how many such places there in Europe alone. @Marcocapelle, any thoughts on SFBB's suggestion? Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Three Kingdoms Buddhists[edit]
- Propose merging Category:Cao Wei Buddhists (1 P) to Category:Three Kingdoms Buddhists
- Propose merging Category:Eastern Wu Buddhists (1 C, 2 P) to Category:Three Kingdoms Buddhists and Category:People of Eastern Wu
- Propose merging Category:Eastern Wu Buddhist monks (1 P) to Category:Chinese Buddhist monks and Category:Three Kingdoms Buddhists and Category:People of Eastern Wu
- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:NARROWCAT, a relatively short period in Chinese history from 220 to 280 AD does not require splitting in every of the three parallel kingdoms. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nominator's rational. Inter&anthro (talk) 12:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Category: Philosophy majors[edit]
- *Propose deleting Category:Philosophy majors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Non-notable, pointless, one-off categorization. Unnecessary in light of Category:Philosophers. Tkaras1 (talk) 15:36, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, we do not categorize by education level. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:07, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete It is outside the scope of Wikipedia's categorization methods. desmay (talk) 18:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Category:Australian-themed retailers[edit]
- Propose deleting Category:Australian-themed retailers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: The only category of its kind that I can find with the name of a nation and themed retailers on Wikipedia. This category does not make any sense as these are companies with operations in Australia, but are not Australian-themed. Themed would imply something implicit about Australian culture or history. This can be considered to be OR as the majority of articles don't make mention that they are based on the concept of Australian culture.
They would include Bloomin' Brands, Deliveroo, Gillyhicks, Kangaroo (video on demand), KangaRoos, and Kangol. Australia Dairy Company has little to do with it other than materials imported from the country. Australian Homemade is just the name of a sweets company. Bloomin' Brands is just a holding company that owns several restaurant chains.
Outback Steakhouse and Walkabout (pub chain) are the only two businesses with a theme based on Australia, but even then two articles would be too small for a category like this.
The categories that this is under Retailers by type of merchandise sold, Works about Australia, and Retailing in Australia have no relevance as these are not works in terms of literature, films, music, etc. usually considered in the line of popular culture. No evidence they sell Australian-type merchandise if that is even a thing.
And while Retailing in Australia would be considered since a couple of them do business in Australia, they should be in the Retailing category than this one if it applies. Australian Homemade is under Category:Restaurant chains in Australia, under a subcat of Australian brands, which is a subcat of the main Retailing in Australia category.

Category:Albanian basketball players by populated place[edit]
- Nominator's rationale: Container category containing only two categories. User:Namiba 11:43, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge per Grutness. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:19, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- COMMENT: "By populated place" categories are generally kept as long as they have more than one subcat. If consensus is to merge, it should be upmerged to both Category:Basketball players by populated place and Category:Albanian basketball players, with no prejudice against re-creation if more "by populated place" categories arise. Grutness...wha? 16:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge, redundant category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Category:Kryvyi Rih National University, General Faculty alumni[edit]
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Kryvyi Rih National University, General Faculty is a redundant category layer, and the alumni category only has 1 person in it. Mason (talk) 01:58, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge No main article. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Athletes by religion[edit]
- Propose deleting Category:Athletes by religion
- Propose deleting Category:Muslim athletes
- Propose deleting Category:Muslim basketball players
- Propose deleting Category:Muslim boxers
- Propose deleting Category:Muslim American football players
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCTRIVIAL, there is a long-standing consensus against intertwining sports and religion on Wikipedia (see here for example), and I struggle to see how these categories are any different. Because the article entries appear to be only from the United States, perhaps there could be a move discussion to something like Category:American Muslim athletes or Category:American athletes by religion as that may have been the creator's intention, but that still would seem to fail the site's category guidelines. Inter&anthro (talk) 20:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Please note that this differs from Jewish athletes since Judaism is both an ethnicity and a religion (an ethnoreligion) and most Jewish athletes identity as Jewish by virtue of being born Jewish and very few (VERY few) actually convert. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:36, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OCEGRS. @Omnis Scientia: please note that WP:OCEGRS applies to both ethnicity and religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed but there are exceptions to that rule as well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- I can't see why. There are lots of Jewish categories for sure but that is just because WP:OCEGRS is not well reinforced. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:23, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- That is fair. If you want, I can go through them. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:53, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
