The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic L ondon 18:51, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale' this is a one article category. There are not enough articles on earthquakes to justify exemptions to the small-cat rule for one-article categories. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Sorry for confused thinking. My vote is just for "Keep". Laurel Lodged ( talk) 14:57, 17 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale Earthquakes are events that occur in a very specific place at a very specific time, normally for a few minutes of one day, although the impact and aftershocks will last longer. As such we should classify them by what that place was when it occured. In this case, although Slovenia did exist to some extent when the one direct content of this category occured, although not when the one in the sub-category occured, it was part of Yugoslavia. It would seem that Category:Earthquakes in Yugoslavia might make sense. However the first step I think is upmerge to the continent category, because earthquakes that merit articles are not common enough to justify an exemption to the rules against small categories. We do not need earthquake categories for every country we have at least one earthquake that occured in it. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Category:Greek withdrawal from the eurozone

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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary small category - it contains just one article and is not part of a wider categorization scheme (e.g. "Withdrawl from the eurozone by country"). I don't think any upmerge is needed (the one article in this category is in 6 other categories including for Greece and Eurozone). Note: One of the parent categories of this category is being discussed below. DexDor (talk) 22:38, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: upmerge. Marcocapelle ( talk) 20:46, 22 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Patently not needed, it only contains a redirect and I can't imagine there's much scope for discovering other notable hunting lodges in Wales. Upmerge redirect to the two upper categories. Sionk ( talk) 18:32, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

Lists of rulers

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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:41, 15 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: merge per actual content, there is nothing about international relations in these categories, instead there is just in each category one list with all rulers of that year. So the merge is also being proposed per WP:SMALLCAT. No need to merge to year categories, because each list of rulers is already directly in a year category as well. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Note that Template:SLBY governs the yearly lists of rulers to be automatically categorized in an international relations category. If there is consensus about the above proposal, it would be most helpful if the closer of the nomination would also adapt the template accordingly.

Category:Islamist raids

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Police raids on Islamists. MER-C 10:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Rename to avoid ambiguity. The present name matches sibling Category:Drug raids but may suggest "raids by Islamists". The category was originally tagged by 178.94.166.186 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) without starting a discussion, but it seems a good idea. "Law enforcement operations against Islamists" might be a still better name. – Fayenatic L ondon 15:35, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. I have added "see also" navigation links instead. – Fayenatic L ondon 19:05, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The two categories only contain the eponymous article as a direct article in the category. Child categories with "people of" can also exist without a category for the institution. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:40, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename. There is no consensus for deletion, but the general sense seems to be that if the category exists, the proposed name is far better. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:12, 16 March 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: None of the articles in this category discuss the dissolution of the European Union as a whole. They discuss individual members who are considering withdrawing from the eurozone or entire EU. TDL ( talk) 06:09, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Changed my vote to simply Delete per discussions below. Even with the suggested name, this cat is POV, CRYSTALBALL and simply unnecessary EU-hatred. some articles would go to Politics of the European Union, some to Eurozone crisis, some to United Kingdom and the European Union (where they are already). Place Clichy ( talk) 17:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • I agree in principle, if there are a number of speculative (but notable) articles about the same subject they should be categorized together. Personally I'm rather in doubt if the articles in this category are about the same subject. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:20, 13 February 2016 (UTC) reply
Even if the category were strictly interpreted, there's still sufficient content for a category:
