- Nominator's rationale: This category has only one page, and I do not know of any other dog breed originating from Israel. So no more pages will be added. Corsican Warrah ( talk) 19:43, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. I have no preference about this either way, but if the nominated categories are deleted, the contents also need to be merged into the appropriate "Animal breeds originating in FOO" category: Category:Animal breeds originating in Israel, etc. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:27, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

- Double merge, also to the other parent "Animal breeds originating in Foo". I do find it worrying that so many editors are often content to upmerge small categories to only one parent, even if the categories are intersections of two useful hierarchies. This seems careless, and removes valid information from the encyclopedia. – Fayenatic L ondon 23:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Comment.
Caucasian Shepherd Dog is in 7 (including a redlink) of these "originating in" categories (surely an article should only be in one such category) so a purge is needed.

- I removed "Soviet Union" as anachronistic, and Asia & Europe as unnecessary supercategories. This leaves Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Russia. As the breed originates in the Caucasus mountains, those seem legitimate. As for the relevance to this CFD nomination, that article is only in one of the nominated categories, and I don't see overlap in the others, so I don't think a purge would have much effect. – Fayenatic L ondon 19:04, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

- Keep The listing of the term troubles makes it clear that multiple other times are also so referred to.

- Propose renaming Category:Christian liturgies to Category:Christian liturgy
- Nominator's rationale: The subcats are named "liturgy" rather than "liturgies". The articles are not all about individual "liturgies", so IMHO the general rule of using plurals in category names does not apply here. (In other words, this is a topic category rather than a set category.) – Fayenatic L ondon 10:41, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. This category only contains a topic article Station days and one church, San Trifone in Posterula, so is not useful for navigation. There is a list at Station_days#Station_churches_of_Lent_and_the_Easter_Octave so the category could be populated, but the list is more informative than a category would be, and I am not sure that this tradition is WP:DEFINING enough to use for categorisation. – Fayenatic L ondon 10:29, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

The articles are not all about individual "liturgies", so IMHO the general rule of using plurals in category names does not apply here. (In other words, this is a topic category rather than a set category.) – Fayenatic L ondon 10:41, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Each individual liturgy is a liturgy. There are multiple liturgical traditions. The name should reflect this plurality. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 12:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support as a topic category rather than a set category, the category is a mix of liturgies and aspects of liturgy. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:30, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. This category only contains a topic article Station days and one church, San Trifone in Posterula, so is not useful for navigation. There is a list at Station_days#Station_churches_of_Lent_and_the_Easter_Octave so the category could be populated, but the list is more informative than a category would be, and I am not sure that this tradition is WP:DEFINING enough to use for categorisation. – Fayenatic L ondon 10:29, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
- Support per nom. In the articles of the churches in the mentioned list, "station church" is sometimes mentioned but not consistently. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:47, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
