Delete -- Some months ago, we had an editor who created vast number of categories for "green" energy, transport, etc. Is this another of his SPAM categories? I observe that some one has removed
wire from this category (and rightly). Many of the items listed here can be components of a wide range of electrical equipemnt, so why delect out those needed for battery operated vehicles? If kept, irrlevant and mundane items should be removed.

Keep – the merge should be done so that each article redirects to a few sentences about the ship, and the redirects should be categorised as they are at present (cf
WP:Categorizing redirects). (I must say I disagree with the decision to merge, although there is a clear consensus to do so.)

Delete. While it's sometimes useful to make categories that only contain redirects, I don't think it would make much sense in this case if all pages are just redirects to the same article.

Nominator's rationale:Rename. The legal term for these entities, as found in
§ 22.1-25 of the
Code of Virginia, is "
school division". While they function almost exactly as do "school districts" in other states, they differ in one key respect—no school division has independent taxing authority. They are instead divisions of their associated local government(s), whether a city, town, or county. They can still be categorized under "school districts in the United States" for convenience, but I believe the legal terminology should be used. —
