- Nominator's rationale: As usual with award recipients categories a list (at George Van Biesbroeck Prize) is a much better way of presenting this information than a category (the list can include people who don't have a wp article, it can be arranged in date order, it can be cited, it can be watchlisted etc). Currently there is only one article in this category and that article is in the appropriate nationality-occupation category which is a WP:DEFINING characteristic of that person. See also WP:OC#AWARD.

- Keep ... categories are the main way Wikidata gains information about awards.. Not lists. Wikidata knows about humans that have been awarded and do not have an article either.. Thanks,

- Really? - can you point to anything at Wikidata that supports that? Info in Wikidata should be cited and hence infoboxes/lists are a more suitable source of data - e.g. see Wikidata:WikiProject_Lists#Translation_of_existing_list_articles. DexDor ( talk) 06:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Category:Shopping malls in Lucas County, Ohio

- The result of the discussion was: Rename. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:50, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: To include Woodville Mall, the mall in Bowling Green if it gets an article, and any others that are in metro Toledo but not Lucas County. Rename will bring category in line with other subcategories of Category:Shopping malls in the United States by metro area. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 04:03, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- No objection (as category's creator). I made this and a few others to expand the tree of US shopping malls by county after Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 September 14#Category:Shopping malls in the United States by county. – Fayenatic L ondon 07:10, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

- Propose Upmerging Category:Polyester sculptures into Category:Fabric sculptures
- Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. There is 1 article in Category:Polyester sculptures and the parent category, Category:Fabric sculptures, only has 5 articles. Being made of fabric is certainly defining because it allows for more ethereal sculptures but I'm not sure dividing such a small category into cotton/acetate/polyester is warranted.

- Delete very small category that is not required as the parent itself is already very small. This adds little to navigation. SFB 19:27, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
