Nominator's rationale: Consensus has been reached that the name of the exchange, Nasdaq, does not have to be in ALL CAPS on Wikipedia articles. The category should be renamed to reflect this consistency. Eyesnore19:40, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Recommend using the higher level category for United States Navy officers, which is adequate. Breaking down by individual rank at the field or company grade level does not seem useful. Also, many articles that say a person is a navy officer do not specify rank unless at the Captain/Admiral level. Recommend upmerging to Category:United States Navy officers.

Keep: "does not seem useful": it is useful because it gives the rank (that Category:United States Navy officers does not give). "many articles that say a person is a navy officer do not specify rank unless at the Captain/Admiral level": how is this related to the deletion proposal?

I agree that my comment "does not seem useful" is highly opinionated, so your criticism of that is well founded. If available, ranks can and should be included as part of the article, so the information is there. There are five ranks at the company and field grade level, plus five more for warrant officers. There are also at least 9 enlisted ranks. If we have a cat for lieutenant commander, we should also have cats for all officer and enlisted ranks as well. Personally, I do not recommend that at this time as I believe it would be over cat. As for my comment, "Many articles that say a person is a navy officer do not specify rank unless at the Captain/Admiral level." The issue is unless the person holds a senior rank, many of the articles, and the sources used to create the articles, just say officer or sailor, so having a cat structure with specific ranks will be a challenge to populate beyond the parent cat.

"having a cat structure with specific ranks will be a challenge to populate beyond the parent cat": I don't get your point: if we don't know the rank, we can, as usual, categorize under a more general category.
Delete, categories are meant to group articles with similar content and it is unlikely that articles are generally different in content just because of a difference in rank. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose those categories serve a maintenance purpose, because I can't see how anyone could be interested in those categories from a content perspective. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:51, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The appropriate course would be to merge with the officers parent, but this is so heavily populated as to make it useless for navigation. If we did keep this, we would have to require that people were categorised by the highest rank reached, so that Admirals do not also get categorised by the lower ranks that they held before promotion. Some containerisation of the parent would be useful. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:23, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned above, many officers in the parent cat, and the sources for the articles about the people, do not list specific rank unless at the higher level. This is more pronounced for the enlisted ranks in the parent Category:United States Navy sailors. Accordingly, IMHO, breaking down by rank would be of limited use for navigation because many would still remain in the parent. If diffusion of an overpopulated parent is the concern, it may be better to use the already existing series of subcats, "officers by century", such as "Category:18th-century American naval officers". This would be far easier to populate based on information available in the articles. Semper fi! FieldMarine (talk)

Comment: By your wording above, I'm getting the impression that I got something wrong with my initial move request. Can you please elaborate so I know for next time?

Delete This is actually a pretty triumphant category deletion: back in 2007 I created a category for a maintenance task (fixing the tagging of all the fair-use images), and the maintenance task in question is now complete! This category was definitely useful once, but as the nomination says, it doesn't have much of a reason to exist any more; we finished retagging all the images, so there's no maintenance task to track any more. --ais523 02:02, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Royal Order of Francis I was a national award for the the Kingdom of the Sicilies but, after that country's merger, later became a private award.
We already have a very well developed non-subjective Category:Awards by country tree with thousands of award articles while this has just 15, all of which are now in the standard country categories. Category:National prizes was created in 2005 by an editor banned for disruptive behavior and, in the past 16 years, there has not been editor interest in using this approach. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:16, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
