See: Category:6th-century BC establishments and Category:7th-century BC establishments

• Propose merging Category:505 BC establishments to Category:505 BC and Category:6th-century BC establishments
• Propose merging Category:508 BC establishments to Category:508 BC and Category:6th-century BC establishments
• Propose merging Category:509 BC establishments in Italy to Category:509 BC and Category:6th-century BC establishments in Italy

Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:SMALLCAT, usually only one article in each category. This proposal is to merge everything into establishment categories by century (by geographic if applicable). After the merge the intermediate categories will become empty and can be deleted. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• Support generally -- These fine filament category threes are a hindrance to naviagation. However, I am far from convinced that the national categories for this remote period should survive, but we can discuss that on another occasion. Peterkingiron ( talk) 13:21, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• Propose renaming Category:Postcolonial themes in art to Category:Postcolonial art

Nominator's rationale: I'd chanced across this category in an attempt to find a home for Project 1975 and noticed that all the articles were of artists, not "themes." Shall we rename to match sibling Category:Postcolonial literature? Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 16:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• Just Delete Small group of artists randomly assigned a buzzword! Hopeless - far too subjective. Johnbod ( talk) 18:36, 8 July 2015 (UTC) reply
• Delete per WP:NONDEF, "postcolonial" is hardly mentioned in these articles. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:12, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Propose renaming Category:Sophie Hunter music to Category:Sophie Hunter albums

Nominator's rationale: C2C per Category:Albums by artist. MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 02:11, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: upmerge to Category:County Commissioners in Maine and Category:People from Oxford County, Maine. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:49, 5 July 2015 (UTC) reply

• Propose merging Category:County Commissioners of Oxford County, Maine to Category:People from Oxford County, Maine

Nominator's rationale: Only has 1 entry. Per WP:SMALLCAT. ...William 00:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply

• Oppose per the "unless..." clause of WP:SUBCAT and as any upmerge should also be to Category:County Commissioners in Maine. DexDor ^(talk) 20:43, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
• Upmerge to Category:People from Oxford County, Maine and Category:County Commissioners in Maine. Category:County commissioners in the United States is subcatted by state but there no overall scheme by county (and the state categories are not large). I would suggest that the other subcats of Category:County Commissioners in Maine should also be upmerged. Oculi ( talk) 11:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
• Full Upmerge -- This needs something wider in the way of targets than as nom. Peterkingiron ( talk) 13:23, 26 June 2015 (UTC) reply
• Upmerge per nom. The "unless... clause of WP:SUBCAT" (which is actually in WP:SMALLCAT rather than SUBCAT) does not pertain here, as there's no "comprehensive overall" scheme of subcategorizing all county commissioners by individual county — if there aren't enough commissioners with articles to justify a county subcategory on size grounds, then the commissioners who do have articles just stay at the state level. And because county commissioners don't get past WP:NPOL just for being county commissioners, but rather the only ones who qualify for articles are those who held a more notable position at another time in their careers or who can be sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG as being more notable than the average county commissioner, most county commissioners don't have articles at all and few if any states have enough articles to warrant the by-county subcats anyway.
