Nominator's rationale. Contain almost identical articles or have the potential to do so. Started to populate it myself but then said, "what's the point?". The overlap is almost perfect. Only regnant queens seperates the two categories and so the more general of the two cats should remain.

Merge?? The two categories certainly seem to cover the same ground but I am unhappy with the name. There is no such thing in recent times as a King of Britain. It is King of England (and also King of Scotland etc). The articles appear to be covering pre-1066 kingdoms when there were
King of the Britons. A rename needed??

Merge – there have undoubtedly been 'monarchs in the British Isles', most of them kings. (What, no objection to 'British Isles' in 2 days? Must be a record.)

Merge - The target is better because it includes queens regnant. The kings of England were Lord of Ireland from John to Henry VIII and then Kings of Ireland until the Act of Union, when they became kings of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. I therefore think the name is appropriate. I appreciate that the issue of Ireland being part of "Britain" is a sensitive one, but this solution avoids the difficulty, as well as including the monarchs of the Isle of Man, which is part of British Isles, but not of Great Britain or Ireland.

Support rename per nom. I created the category based upon how the main category was then named. Renaming seems appropriate given current naming of main category.

Merge to
Category:2010 in Italy. Yes, I now that the single article is already in both categs, but merger is always preferable in cases like this, because other articles may be added to the Lombardy categ before this nom is closed, and if the categ is simply deleted then they will not be moved to
Category:2010 in Italy. OTOH, merger will do no harm at all if the categs are already dual-categorised. --

Nominator's rationale: We've had this discussion before of not categorizing people on the basis of caste
here on the Wikiproject India board. The problems are manifold as for most of these there's no sourcing and more importantly it's really just
overcategorization. The BLP issues are also problematic as many entries tend to be "claims" and aren't reliably sourced and can not be policed. The list articles are also problematic, but not as much as the categories. We've had a few of these come up here and get deleted,
this is one example. —

The "not categorizing by caste" applies only to people, not to topics. e.g.
Category:Brahmins and sub categories are used to categorize the different topics related to Brahmins ranging from
caste specific diet to
specific subsects, all reasonable uses of the category. While people occasionally creep in to most of these categories, we do try to remove them regularly. —

Rename -- categories often need a disambiguator when the article does not to prevent the category for the original place in England collecting articles for places elsewhere. For Example, the article is
Birmingham but the categories are at Birmingham, England, because Birmingham, AL is also a large city. Support re-creation as a dab category.
