Category:Basketball players from Berlin
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: upmerge, noting that the contents are already in
Category:Sportspeople from Berlin/
Category:German racing drivers as appropriate, so double upmerge is not needed. This close is authority for speedy nomination of the remaining 12 state sub-cats in
Category:Racing drivers by state in Germany. –

- Propose merging Category:Basketball players from Berlin to Category:Sportspeople from Berlin
- Nominator's rationale: Also propose merging
- Category:Racing drivers from Berlin to Category:Sportspeople from Berlin
- Category:Racing drivers from Hamburg to Category:Sportspeople from Hamburg
As per previous CFDs [1] and this one [2], we don't subcategorize per what type of athlete a person is. ...William 21:09, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support Merge per nom - CfD has been very clear in this. Also make sure entries have "German basketball players" added if it has been removed in favor of this catregory. Rikster2 ( talk) 18:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support merge. Many precedents resulting in upmerge and deletion. Jrcla2 ( talk) 18:51, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support merge. Geez, if we don't have "players from New York, Chicago or Los Angeles", we shouldn't have this. - Hoops gza ( talk) 22:14, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. The states of Germany include Berlin and Hamburg so, for example, as long as we have Category:Racing drivers by state in Germany we should have Category:Racing drivers from Berlin etc. DexDor ( talk) 20:21, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per Donar (basketball club). The club was recently renamed from 'GasTerra Flames', its name since 2009, to 'Donar'. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 15:24, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Alexander Dennis buses to Category:Alexander (brand) buses
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Per actual content. While the bus manufacturer's name is now Alexander Dennis, Alexander and Dennis are two separate bus brands. See Category:Dennis buses. HandsomeFella ( talk) 11:54, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose as nominated. This probably should be
Category:Walter Alexander Coachbuilders buses.

- Propose merging Category:USSR State Prize winners to Category:Recipients of the USSR State Prize
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Basically identical categories. There's some mess since for some awards we have recipients and for some - winners. Brandmeister talk 10:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- As this is a national award, it is probably one we should keep under WP:OC:AWARD, but we do not need duplicate categories. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:22, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: The categories appear to have the same scope; presumably there should be only one category, not two.
Mitch Ames (

- Support nomination. Theoretically a distinction could be made (for Australian bishops migrated to other countries and bishops in Australia coming from other countries), but this is in practice hardly relevant. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:59, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support -- As Marco says, they are not quite the same thing, but it will be much better to concentrate on the diocese where they minister, rather than ethnic origin. In some missionary contexts, ethnic origin may also be important. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:25, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support per nom. In the case of Ireland, my vote would be quite different as Ireland exported quite a lot of bishops. However, is there not an established tree structure of bishops by nationality, as opposed to bishops by ministry? Laurel Lodged ( talk) 22:34, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- Support - ethnic division is hardly relevant, Category:Roman Catholic bishops in Australia has a wider scope. James ( T • C) • 10:53 AM • 00:53, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose, this is part of Category:Roman Catholic bishops by nationality. Instead, make Category:Roman Catholic bishops in Australia, which is part of Category:Roman Catholic bishops by country, a container category, and purge it of individual articles, as they should only be in its sub-cats by diocese. – Fayenatic L ondon 00:29, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
