- Propose merging Category:Kilmarnock F.C. captains to Category:Kilmarnock F.C. players
- Nominator's rationale: As per the recent discussion about Rangers FC captains, I believe this should be upmerged as captaincy is not a defining characteristic. Jmorrison230582 ( talk) 18:25, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Pondicherry to Category:Puducherry
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Pondicherry is the former name of Puducherry. — Thaejas ( talk) 12:24, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- keep and redirect and speedy close There are no contents thus no need to merge. I've kept it and turned it into a redirect since the name Pondicherry is still well known. Since the article is at Puducherry I think we can speedy close this.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 16:11, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes redirect it to Category:Puducherry. Shyamsunder ( talk) 00:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep as redirect category -- The old spelling is well known so that it is a likely search term, and prevents inadvertent re-creation. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:07, 8 May 2014 (UTC)----

Rename Category:Rivers on the Isle of Wight to Category:Rivers of the Isle of Wight ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:39, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

- Keep I'm using this category to organize my user articles; in this case I'm using this category as a tag for potential presentations at WikiMedia events, viz., WikiCon USA 2014. Perhaps, I've overlooked user categories; is there a category tool for user pages, is there a way to add categories in the user namespace? -- CmdrDan ( talk) 07:09, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Delete Typically, the only categories for User space are ones that indicate groups that the editor is allied with (Wikipedians who are engineers, who belong to WikiProject Spain, etc.) or who are sockpuppet accounts. Even on drafts in your user space, categories should be added only when the article is moved into mainspace. It's not appropriate to have personal categories that don't serve organizational purposes for en.wikipedia. Maybe there is something similar you can use at WikiMedia.org? Liz Read!

- The result of the discussion was: rename. The fact there was "no sign of a move discussion" is being used more and more often as an oppose (especially at CFDS), and this isn't a good thing; WP:BOLD is still a thing, and there's no reason to consider an uncontroversial move a problem. The Bushranger One ping only 01:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: per main article University of al-Qarawiyyin Tachfin ( talk) 06:12, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Keep – the main article seems to have been moved yesterday from University of al-Karaouine and I can see no sign of a move discussion. There is also Category:University of al-Karaouine. Oculi ( talk) 12:58, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Didn't notice that but I agree with that move. I don't think a formal request would be opposed as the current spelling is more popular in RS, and is in line with standard English transliteration of Arabic. ( al-Qarawiyyin scholar al-Karaouine on shcolar also britannica) -- Tachfin ( talk) 13:28, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
