Support also JPL's suggestion. Keep the French and American ones as they are: these are clearly referring to the nationality of the historian, not his subject. Art historians does not seem to be so overpopulated as to need a split out art historians by subject; by nationality is already a subcat.

Maybe rename simply to
Category:Naval engineers?
Naval architecture says A naval architect is an engineer. There is a difference between the branch of science/design and what we call the practitioners. I'm not sure from the limited research I did, but naval engineer clearly is a leading contender. I will note that the BLS does classify them as Marine Engineers and Naval Architects. So...

Oppose -- The target is a mess. It contains a few genuine engineers concerned with shipbuilding, but the majority seem to be shipbuilders or shipwrights, including some who rose to be surveyor of the Royal Navy. One person wioth the suffix engineer turned out to be a military engineer who had served on baord ship as a gunner. I suspect that the problem with
Naval architect may be that its lead lacks hisotrical perspective. An engineer in the Navy is the officer who looks after the engines. I would prefer to see the handful of people in the target who were mechanical engineers purged inot a separate category, leaving the shipbuilders in the present category, which could then be merged with the naval architects, perhaps renamed to shipbuilders. Those who were more concerned with design than building should go into the ship and boat designers category.

Nominator's rationale: While the legislative house of the Canadian province of Ontario is sometimes referred to as provincial parliament (e.g. members style themselves as MPPs, or Members of Provincial Parliament, even though the relevant statute calls them "members of the Assembly"), and the legislature's sessions are often referred to as parliaments, the body actually calls itself the
Ontario Legislative Assembly and Section 69 of the Constitution which created the body also calls it by that name. Google searches show that Ontario Legislative Assembly, or even Ontario legislature, is by far more commonly used than variations of Ontario Parliament.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Obsolete category. There are no specific oil and gas industry regions in Ukraine but the category just includes administrative units on which territories oil and gas industry upstream operations are carried out. These are not historical regions, and does not include regions which have midstream or downstream industries. There is no similar categories for other countries. As a rule we do not categorize administrative units by industries on their territory. The only exception I could recall is
Category:Coal mining regions in Europe and its subcategories by country. That also needs a proper discussion; however, these categories are not submitted now.

merge/rename? These are all connected by the notion of a few huge companies dominating an industry/sector both economically and politically. If there is already a category for that, these should go there; if there is a main article but no corresponding category, this should be renamed to match that main article. Obviously the current naming basis is hopeless and if no other solution can be found, it should be deleted, but I don't see focusing on the shared name aspect as a first resort. see below
