Propose deleting Category:Pakistani lentil dishes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Redundant to other categories (and only contains one thing) Amisom (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:Pakistani legume dishes. However, I doubt that Pakistani cuisine differs much from north Indian cuisine, so that I wonder if it should not all be merged to "South Asian". Peterkingiron (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Farm journalism to Category:People in agriculture

Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:42, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

REname to Category:Agriculture journalists. It ought to be possible to populate it better. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If kept, I agree with the rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:01, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Fictional concepts of the afterlife with Category:Afterlife places in fiction to Category:Afterlife in fiction

Nominator's rationale: the two categories mainly contain fictional works, there is no reason to keep them apart. The proposed new name is more in line with the overall tree of Category:Fiction by topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and suggested new title is better and succinct. Brandmeister^talk 14:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Same topic, no need for two categories. Dimadick (talk) 07:57, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge New title is more concise, self explanatory, and doesn't exclude any specifics to the two categories proposed to be merged. Keira 1996 01:25, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Basketball teams in Helsinki to Category:Basketball teams in Finland and Category:Sport in Helsinki

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Currently contains only one article, and I can find only two more to add to it: Helsinki Seagulls and NMKY Helsinki. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Creator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. I do not understand the argument. There are dozens if not a hundred or more basketball teams in Helsinki. Potential for growth is clearly given. Stephreef (talk) 10:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephreef: There may indeed be dozens of basketball teams in Helsinki, but how many of them are WP:Notable? I very much doubt that there dozens of notable basketball teams in Helsinki which would meet the criteria of WP:Notability (organizations and companies).

I would have no objection to this categ being re-created in the future if and when there are enough articles to populate it. Categories exist to navigate between articles, and if the articles don't exist, we don't need the category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:49, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- I would guess that the creator is exaggerating numbers, but most will be NN amateur teams, which will (or should) never have an article. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:53, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and User:Peterkingiron. Keira 1996 01:20, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
