Nominator's rationale: Delete - Category is populated by a single template. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 21:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- very few such sub-categories of Category:Video game templates by series, none other with only 1 template.
--William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Small category, unlikely to grow. — Σ xplicit 05:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it. Back when I started it in 2006, it was considerably bigger in size but nowadays, it's purpose is lost... --Koveras ^☭ 07:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename – very true. Occuli (talk) 00:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Road accident deaths in Mississippi Non-defining or trivial characteristic per WP:OVERCAT - Special-T (talk) 13:51, 19 June 2009

Keep per its many siblings in Category:Road accident deaths in the United States. Occuli (talk) 14:24, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Occuli. Lugnuts (talk) 17:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep part of a tree structure to keep the parent relatively uncluttered. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'll gladly withdraw the request to delete - it seems like there's a reason for such categories that I wasn't aware of. It seemed like a very arbitrary/trivial category to have, but I have no axe to grind here. - Special-T (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Savoyard footballers

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: upmerge and delete. Bearcat (talk) 07:16, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Over categorization, Savoy does not have a notable regional team. Matthew_hk t c 09:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Upmerge to Category:French footballers and Category:People from Savoie. There is no other category name which includes 'Savoyard' and Category:People from Savoie has no subcats (surprisingly ... are there no counts or bishops?) ... fr:Catégorie:Personnalité_de_la_Savoie has dozens. (There is Haute-Savoie too. Perhaps this is a complication.) Occuli (talk) 14:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unnecessary ethnic category. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:47, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not ethnic; it's a 'People from' category. Occuli (talk) 13:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:26, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Newspapers and magazines established in 1992 to Category:Publications established in 1992

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Duplicate categories. The target category is part of an overall scheme; the nominated category is not. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - its subcat Category:Magazines established in 1992 is part of an established scheme but there seems not to be one for newspapers. Occuli (talk) 08:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom, without prejudice to anyone establishing a comprehensive scheme for newspapers. Johnbod (talk) 15:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per all above.-choster (talk) 17:14, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
