The result of the discussion was:delete/merge as nominated. – FayenaticLondon 17:40, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:Delete per WP:SMALLCAT. A full triple diffusion of Category:Christian Universalists by denomination, by nationality and by century, is really over the top, as this tree is way too poorly populated. Note that upmerging instead of deleting is not needed: with this proposal, all articles remain in the tree of Category:Christian Universalists anyway because there is also a complete diffusion taking place in Category:Christian Universalists by century which remains untouched by the nomination.

@Marcocapelle: Can you explain more about this nomination: are you saying that you think the by century scheme should remain? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:56, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. The by-century scheme is less of an issue, as there are only few centuries here that would apply for WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:58, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Question: Why are you proposing to keep American, British, German, Anglican, Quaker and UCA categories, while deleting the other nationalities and denominations? Just because of size? – FayenaticLondon 22:25, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: Keeping some of them but then deleting/upmerging the others is the opposite of what WP:SMALLCAT says: we should keep or abandon the scheme, not split the difference. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:05, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The exception to WP:SMALLCAT applies to 'large' subcat schemes. Nothing within Category:Christian Universalists is large or even medium: there are not many of them in toto (~ 150) and most countries have none. Oculi (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SMALLCAT says "unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme". However, this exception rule doesn't apply in this case because the scheme is not large at all. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:25, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If there is consensus about all of this, I will post a new CfD to upmerge the three diffusion categories (by denomination, by nationality and by century) to the top category. With the current nomination, there will only be some 10 grandchild categories left (in total), they can easily become child categories instead.

Nominator's rationale:Downmerge - at least merge, because all these metropolitans were 'from' and 'of' Montenegro at the same time. Prefer downmerge over upmerge, just in general, because for bishops the territory that they are bishops of is more defining for them than the place were they come from. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Metropolitans of Montenegro" is ambiguous; there should be one category for Serbian Orthodox metropolitans in Montenegro, and one of the uncanonical Montenegrin Orthodox Church. These are not to be confused with eachother.--Zoupan 20:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from Canada[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 two category names are different by a single word: 'from' versus 'in'. All 4 bishops in the 'from' category are also contained in the 'in' category. The mother church in the Ukraine has not been split in an 'in' and a 'from' category, so there's no need for this child church to do so either. Before deleting, I would recommend to move the parenting from the 'from' to the 'in' category. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:52, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Upmerge the first two categories per WP:SMALLCAT. After this merge, the third category will be empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:19, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support but without prejudice to a future re-creation should numbers warrant it. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:50, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
