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.

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. –
FayenaticLondon23:36, 14 December 2015 (UTC)reply
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. –

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's

Nominator's rationale: Category only contains a redirect, which has been recently added to prevent speedy deletion. I can't see any evidence that Edmondson is planning to produce several notable albums anytime soon.

DeleteWP:EPONCAT has created a (dubious) exception to small categories so we avoid placing works by a person directly in an eponymous category. I'm not going to carry that
WP:SMALLCAT exception so far as to include effectively empty categories though.

Howicus i'm still talking to other editors personally on them some sort of a merge... Is it possible for it not to be deleted for maybe a few more weeks to give me some time to close things up.

Keep The listing of the term troubles makes it clear that multiple other times are also so referred to. To only use the term for Northern Ireland is unduly presentist, and assumes a familiarity with the term which is less common among those not from Ireland or the UK, and also becoming less common now that they are a past event.
