The result of the discussion was: merge.--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:04, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging Category:Buildings and structures in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Category:Buildings and structures in Adams County, Pennsylvania
Nominator's rationale: Per Wikipedia:Overcategorization#Small with no potential for growth. Don't think we need a category for two articles, and I doubt there are too many significant buildings in the borogh of Gettysburg. Wild Wolf (talk) 21:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Astronomical societies of Canada (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete Empty but it used to contain Astronomy North. Even with that article, it would be a small category with little or no potential for growth. Pichpich (talk) 21:41, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:SMALLCAT.--Lenticel (talk) 01:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment if you include international organizations with presences in Canada, there would be enough... if you only count articles for organizations based in Canada... there's atleast 4 articles... 70.24.247.54 (talk) 07:26, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:German Americans by state[edit]

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 deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:American people of German descent by state, which is the only tree it seems to make any sense to put this in (and I'm not creating an entire branch of the "history" tree without more content than this). It can be further subcategorized from there if desired. But the commenters are right that the subcategories of this category are a complete mess, and they should all be rethought and possibly purged or deleted. If the latter happens, this can be deleted too.--Mike Selinker (talk) 15:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy deleted. Deleted by User:Kww. Category created by a blocked editor (WP:G5), non-admin closure. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Albums only released in Italy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete I don't think this is a meaningful way of categorizing albums. It's not a defining characteristic and it's not something that readers are likely to use for finding information. (I would also argue that it's increasingly meaningless since the album is accessible to anyone with an Internet connection) Pichpich (talk) 02:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animation Domination (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete There's only one article in the category. The only option to grow is to include every show that's part of Animation Domination but I don't think that would be a reasonable way of categorizing tv shows. Programming blocks vary considerably over time and from country to country. Very popular shows like The Simpsons would inevitably end up in dozens of categories if we went down this road.

Category:National parks in Oaxaca (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Not useful overcategorization of national parks by state. There are 67 NPs and 32 federal entities (states+district) in Mexico, about 2 NPs per state in average. States are of limited relevance as national parks are administered on federal level, and many NPs extend across multiple states. For geographic location the List of national parks of Mexico provides a good overview. ELEKHHT 00:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The parent category is not that large (and wouldn't be if it were fully populated, which it isn't; only about half the parks have articles thus far). Looking at the list there isn't more than a handful of parks in any one state. Mangoe (talk) 21:17, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:SMALLCAT--Lenticel (talk) 01:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, there is no reason why a category with all 67 national partks is too large. If Mexico creates a lot more national partks in the next few years, we can revisit the issue then. Otherwise, there is no reason to split by states.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
