The result of the discussion was: Delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, its child category Category:Islamic terrorism in Sweden‎ should cover the topic already and the one article doesn't fit the category too well. Also there's no other country with this type of category. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Superfluous categories. Two members (or three, in the Armas and Bourjous categories), who are linked to each other in their articles. Why do we need categories for this? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename 2, per nominator. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:32, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The goal is to align these three categories of professional sports draft lists to have the same naming convention. After review, I concluded following the format of the football category was best, because:
  • Per WP:CATNAME, abbreviations (such as NBA) should be avoided in category names.
  • Technically, it is not the teams that are being drafted in the NBA and WNBA Drafts, it is the players. Draftees is more technically accurate.
Note I tagged the football category as well as the basketball categories in case consensus results in changing the name of that category as well. –Grondemar 06:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nobel laureates from West Bengal

[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: Keep. Regardless of whether this category is too small, the effect of deletion would be to remove the category's contents from Category:Indian Nobel laureates, and no rationale was presented to support that action. @Koavf:: if you intended to propose a merger rather than deletion, feel free to start a new nomination to achieve that. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's really no scheme for Category:Nobel laureates by region or Category:Award winners from West Bengal. As it stands, there are four entries with two native Indians and two Europeans who lived in India for some part of their lives--it's too random of a category. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedily deleted under WP:G7, as it was redirected by its creator. – Fayenatic London 08:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need for a soft-redirect for this typo Avicennasis @ 04:38, 19 Tevet 5777 / 04:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
