Category:People from Ashburnham and Penhurst
- Propose merging Category:People from Ashburnham and Penhurst to Category:People from Rother District
- Nominator's rationale: Per Talk:Ashburnham and Penhurst#Splitting the article "Ashburnham and Penhurst" is not a village or civil parish but only the name of a joint parish council for the separate CPs, I'm also fine with renaming to Category:People from Ashburnham, East Sussex as all entries appear to be for Ashburnham. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:51, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Rename, while the village is small the category seems large enough to be kept (albeit renamed). Marcocapelle (talk) 15:07, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep -- See Parish council website. This is effectively a single civil parish, with enough articles for it to be kept. If it has changed it should be to Category:People from Ashburnham, East Sussex. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:29, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Category:Poltava National Technical University faculty
- Propose deleting Category:Poltava National Technical University faculty ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article which is already in several other faculty categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete for Now per WP:SMALLCAT. No objection to recreating later if it ever gets up to 5+ direct articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Harmonise the inconsistent category names within Category:Architecture by country and style, and match them better to the rest of the hierarchy above and below.
- Either Option 1: as listed above, to (i) create consistency with the parent e.g. "Architecture of Albania"; (ii) use "style" rather than "period" where this describes the contents, following precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 September 7#Category:Australian architecture by period; (iii) split some between articles on styles and sub-cats by style, following the split of the parents Category:Architectural styles and Category:Architecture by style at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 September 15#Category:Architectural styles.
- or Option 2: as above but use "in" rather than "of", e.g. Category:Architecture in Albania by style, because this would also match the sub-categories e.g. Category:Gothic architecture in Albania. All the sub-sub-cats of Category:Architecture by style and country use "in"; only the sub-cats of Category:Rococo architecture use "of". If there is support for Option 2, I propose to also nominate all the parents for renaming likewise, e.g. Category:Architecture of Albania to Category:Architecture in Albania. – Fayenatic London 10:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose to Option 1. Where to start? The precedent of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 September 7#Category:Australian architecture by period, discussing one subcat, and attracting one support, is about as weak as it is possible to imagine. Some country categories, like Austria, have style sub-cats, but others, like China, don't. This would be a terrible solution for them. The "Category:British architecture by period or style" type of title is MUCH better, but this proposal is to do away with that, and turn everything to "style", which doesn't work at all. Wikipedia editors and categorisers are often very poor at deciding the "style" of buildings, and we generally don't have enough categories to cover all styles. Significantly, no benefits at all are suggested from this rearrangement, other than consistency, which is always a bad sign in these proposals. Using "in" rather than "of" doesn't make much difference to anything, imo. Johnbod (talk) 12:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- "some… don't": But that's exactly why I have nominated some cases for splitting rather than renaming. The example you chose, China, includes Art Deco and Baroque which are styles, and the rest are periods. – Fayenatic London 19:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- "by period or style… is MUCH better" – OK, let's add Option 3, Architecture of Foo by period or style, and Option 4, Architecture in Foo by period or style.
- Options 3 and 4 both require renaming Category:Architecture by country and period to Category:Architecture by country and period or style, and merging Category:Architecture by country and style to it. – Fayenatic London 20:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support renaming Category:Fooian architecture by parameter to Category:Architecture in/of Foo by parameter, because meanwhile denonyms are mainly used for people (nationality). With respect to Johnbod's comment, style is largely dependent on period, so I can understand the opposition towards removing "by period". Marcocapelle (talk) 19:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: in line with the CFD above, either Option 1 as listed above, to create consistency with the parent e.g. Category:Architecture of the United States;
- or Option 2: as above but use "in" rather than "of", e.g. Category:Architecture in the United States by century, because this would also match the sub-categories e.g. Category:18th-century architecture in the United States. – Fayenatic London 18:42, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support, because meanwhile denonyms are mainly used for people (nationality). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
People from Ukraine by former raions
- Category:People from Cherkasy Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Chornobai Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Chyhyryn Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Drabiv Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Horodyshche Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Kamianka Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Kaniv Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Katerynopil Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Category:People from Khrystynivka Raion to Category:People from Cherkasy Oblast
- Nominator's rationale:. Raions of Ukraine are the second-level administrative divisions of Ukraine, this is a tree of people by the former raions in Ukraine that were in place until 2020. We might recategorize all people by the new raions that were kept or estabished in that reform, but I do not think that is very necessary and besides it would lead to a huge amount of work, so the proposal is to just merge to first-level administrative divisions. Note that the importance of raions has been greatly reduced in the reform of 2020 and the number of articles per raion is often relatively small. In addition, this proposal does not touch the categorization of people by populated place, so it will only impact people in rural areas putting them in larger regions. At WikiProject Ukraine there was little response and no opposition when this proposal was announced. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Per the points I raised at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places)#Disambiguation: settlements in (un)ambiguous raions. Hecseur (talk) 14:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Category:Stars by type
- Propose deleting Category:Stars by type ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Seems redundant. It is the only sub-category of Category:Star types and appears to serve no function. It was created in 2018, and prior to that, its members were just members of Category:Star types. I propose to get rid of it and return all of its members back to Category:Star types. Lithopsian (talk) 15:03, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Notes: (1) this should have been proposed as a merge rather than deletion. (2) The parent category currently holds only generic articles on types of star, whereas the nominated category holds sub-cats of stars by type. I concur that in other hierarchies, this distinction has been abandoned, i.e. there are precedents for such a merge. (3) If merged, follow-up work should be done to merge the interwiki categories that have been copied from English Wikipedia, see d:Q6864552 and d:Q54811253 – ping me, I am willing. – Fayenatic London 10:47, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. This is a container of categories conforming to particular types of star, and it is useful for it to be separate from the parent category which contains articles on actual start types.--Mvqr (talk) 13:18, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Category:Micrococcineae
- Propose renaming Category:Micrococcineae to Category:Micrococcaceae
- Nominator's rationale: The suborder Micrococcineae is no longer in common use. The family Micrococcaceae encompasses the same genera as the obsolete Micrococcineae. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 03:28, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
Category:Micrococcineae stubs
- Propose merging Category:Micrococcineae stubs to Category:Actinomycetota stubs
- Propose deleting Template:Micrococcineae-stub (added 26 June)
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to parent, as it only contains one stub page. If not merged, rename to Category:Micrococcaceae stubs per the above CFD. – Fayenatic London 19:54, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support. Sort of. I say delete it. Since the suborder Micrococcineae is no longer in common use there is no need for the stub going forward. And Micrococcaceae isn't large enough to merit its own stub. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 03:50, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
