- Propose merging Category:Robotics in fiction to Category:Robots in fiction
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. most of the categories' works aren't really about robotics but just robots (see its subcategories). Having it named "Robots in fiction" covers both robotics and robots in fiction (alternatively the latter could be renamed to "Robots and robotics in fiction" but I don't think that's necessary). Fixuture ( talk) 21:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment if merged it should use "robots and robotics" -- 67.70.32.190 ( talk) 06:08, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

This will help identify which modules need their protection level downgraded since, in theory, the only modules that should have full protection are those that have cascading protection.

- Propose Deletion Category:Employees of the New Mexico Legislature
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:NONDEFINING. Technically all State Representatives and Senators would receive paychecks from the legislature but, based on the earlier nomination of Category:Employees of the Alabama Legislature, this category is intended for unelected staffers. The only article in the category is Shirley Hooper who was a clerk for the state legislature after college but is notable for being elected 25 years later as secretary of state. 1 unsourced sentence in 1 article seems like a tenuous basis for a category.

- Delete per nominator. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:51, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator. This isn't a characteristic that would normally get a person into Wikipedia in and of itself — the only person in it didn't get a Wikipedia article for that fact itself, but for something else she did 25 years later — so it's not a WP:DEFINING characteristic on which we should be categorizing people.
