Delete -- The recetn trend has been to merging regional taxa categories. To have a category for every polity represents category clutter, of the kind against which
WP:OC#PERF is directed. The performacne here is occurence.

Oppose I don't think combining two ecoregions together is a good idea, Wallacea and the Southeast Asian (Malay) archipelago are two separate regions. Though true, birds could cross the gap. The categories themselves should be separated into the two zones, so the can also be parented by ecoregion categorization. --

Can you explain more precisely how you think the birds found in this area should be geographically categorized (in a way that avoids a bird being in lots of categories). Perhaps
Malesia would be the right sort of size. DexDor(talk)05:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)reply
Oppose Do you really want to open the can of worms re: Borneo? Not all of Borneo falls into Indonesia: part of the island (two states) belongs to Malaysia, and part is the Sultanate of Brunei.

Oppose Categorising birds (and other fauna) into political (as opposed to biogreographical) entities is largely meaningless. If anything, a category such as Birds of Indonesia should be deleted in favour of categorising the birds of its component islands. Birds of Lombok (for example) is more meaningful thasn Birds of Indonesia.

Nominator's rationale: Looks like a typical
WP:SMALLCAT to me. Zero potential for growth. There has only ever been one Führer of Nazi Germany, and there will ever only be one Führer of Nazi Germany.

Because there's only one of them, for starters? It isn't a small grouping like the others - there is no group. He already has an eponymous category and he's in the other categories as pointed out below. But I can see you had a logic for it -- sorry I called it bizarre.

Obvioulsy delete -- Save that Doenitz briefly succeeded Hitler after his suicide, there is no room for expansion beyond one member. Nazi Germany does not consistitute a separate country from Imperial Germany and Weimar Germany: the country was Germany. The subsequent Federal and Democratic republics of 1945-89 need to be treated separately, but we again have a unified Germany.
