The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} 14:06, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Poles - political prisoners in the Prussian partition to Category:Polish political prisoners in the Prussian partition

Nominator's rationale: I don't know what to name this, but the current name isn't a good one. I'm also open deleting/merging it Mason (talk) 22:43, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Poles - political prisoners in the Russian partition to Category:Polish political prisoners in the Russian partition

Nominator's rationale: I don't know what to name this, but the current name isn't a good one Mason (talk) 12:39, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rename. I can't fathom why you'd consider deleting or merging this, but renaming seems fine. If renamed, we should also do this with Category:Poles - political prisoners in the Russian partition. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping cat Mason (talk) 22:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge but keep the more clear "Kingdom of" version. And while we are at it, consider upmerging Category:British expatriates in Prussia (1P) and Category:French expatriates in Prussia (3P) per SMALLCAT. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:22, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Purge marine fish articles to Category:Marine fish of Northern Australia, since that is an appropriate target while it exists. If it should not exist then it can be nominated separately. – Fayenatic London 16:08, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Fauna of Queensland to Category:Marine fish of Queensland

Nominator's rationale: all entries are marine fish (except a very small amount, that will be shifted back to a new parent cat.) --Couiros22 (talk) 19:01, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Purge, marine fish should be categorized by sea instead of by state. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
...it would be a useful subcategory to Category:Marine fish of Northern Australia though --Couiros22 (talk) 20:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- That one should be merged/split to Category:Fish of the Indian Ocean and Category:Fish of the Pacific Ocean. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Baltic-language surnames to Category:Names by language, Category:Surnames by language, and Category:Surnames of European origin
Propose deleting Category:Baltic-language names (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Two WP:NONDEFINING redundant layers. "Baltic" has zero navigational value in this tree. NLeeuw (talk) 23:44, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/delete per nom, but add a "See also" note in the pages of the two subcategories. Note that the two subcategories remain in the tree of Category:Baltic languages anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:23, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/delete as suggested ~~keep but containerize or delete and reclassify content~~ Baltic languages constitute a small set including Latvian and Lithuanian. Contents shouldn't be classed to Baltic- as it's a grouping name and not a valid language name.--User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 16:05, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Containerize what? It's all categories already. Also, what merge targets do you suggest? Qwerfjkl talk 19:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceyockey. Qwerfjkl talk 19:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Qwerfkl - changing my !vote to move this to completion. The suggestion is OK and I kind of over-complicated things with alternatives. I'm not 100% sure what I meant, actually -- scratching my head as the Baltic cat is already a container (no articles in the cat level). --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

jlwoodwa (talk) 19:37, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the taxonomic status of Maxillopoda? Even if it was declared a synonym or invalid or whatnot, we shouldn't leap onto the new classification until it gains more scientific consensus. Wikipedia doesn't need to have front-line updated classification. Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 12:42, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was pinged about this deletion because many years ago I created this category. I don't remember why exactly did I do it, but it was most likely for some technical reason. I wrote "iw" in edit summary then, by which I mean "interwiki", or more precisely, interlanguage links. I don't know anything about Biology, so I can't comment on the scientific validity of this name. If there are scientific reasons to delete it, so be it. I do hope, however, that if it is deleted, people who encounter this category in Wikipedia in other languages will have a useful interlanguage link. Perhaps it should be deleted in other languages, too. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:46, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
