The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:23, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Ungrammatical and seems to duplicate Category:Forced disappearances. Zanhe (talk) 22:52, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete-empty category with an ungrammatical name. Even populated and given a better name, it would still be an unnecessary and redundant near-duplicate of Category:Forced disappearances. That one is already underpopulate, and full of small subcats that are also underpopulated. Duplicating this with even more specificity would be a bad idea.

  • Comment, the category used to be populated when it was nominated but I do not remember which articles were in it. @Zanhe and It's gonna be awesome: do you know which articles were in this category? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: It contained three articles: Forced disappearance, Dong Yaoqiong, and Meng Hongwei (who was arrested, not "disappeared"). -Zanhe (talk) 18:14, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete while "forced disappearances" might suggest articles about the concept rather than people who have been subjected to the practice, it seems to be used as the latter not the former. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:06, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:25, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories on same topic {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No strong objection. The later category is populated by Template:TemplateData header. Neither category is particularly comprehensive. Wikipedia:TemplateData/List does a better job.--Salix alba (talk): 07:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing admin This is a HUGE category populated by a template. If merging, please place it on the manual page. Timrollpickering 10:51, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up removal of empty bacteria decadal categories, per WP:TREE RFC @ Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Request for comment: categorizing by year of formal description.

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 October 17#Category:Catholic Church offices. xplicit 03:54, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Pretty much identical scope? For any entry that cannot be dealt with as inside an identical scope should probably rather be subcategorised somewhere else? Chicbyaccident (talk) 07:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure either. It is rather unclear. That's why I think this category merits some reconsidering. Chicbyaccident (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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: merge. (@Marcocapelle:, I will ask you to purge what needs to go.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete most of the content per WP:OCASSOC, most people in the category are government officials and presidential advisors in the period of the New Deal (who can be classified by their function/role); there are also a few opponents of the New Deal, but note we already have a List of critics of the New Deal. However, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the two subcategories should be moved into Category:New Deal. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:17, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCASSOC and WP:SMALLCAT. No need to merge, the content is already elsewhere in the tree of Category:Chocolate. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and WP:SMALLCAT. Rzvas (talk) 08:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm associated with chocolate, too. Yummmm... Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Like Carlossuarez46, I also declare association with chocolate. -Zanhe (talk) 18:18, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Both articles are in "History of chocolate". However looking at this tree, where are all the famous British chocolate manufacturers - Cadbury, Fry, Rowntree, Terry, etc? Peterkingiron (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
