The categories were later undeleted when we realised that without these, the Wikipedia pages for the files appear in
Special:UncategorizedFiles. Thank you

Nominator's rationale: The featured sounds process stopped in November 2011 and after that point it became impossible to add or remove featured sound status to an audio or video recording. There's no continued point in having a category for "current" or former status. The categories are added through {{Featured sound}} or {{Former featured sound}} which will remain on the file description pages, so "what links here" will work if anyone wants to find out what used to be a featured sound or a former featured sound (or the page history of
Portal:Featured sounds).

REverse merge -- monarch tends to mean king/emperor. Are Caliphs monarchs? They certainly ruled.

Procedural oppose we can't single out 8th-century in Asia while the same phenomenon applies to the entire tree. Having said that, it might not be a bad idea to remove monarchs as a separate categorization level, it would probably not harm to have kings and emperors each directly under rulers.

Keep; with thirty entries, it's a good way of reducing the size of Singers from Detroit and American gospel singers. The scope is clear, so the category isn't fundamentally problematic, either.

Please add new comments below this notice. The question is, should the category be renamed to
Category:Gospel singers from Michigan? Thanks,

Delete per nom. If
Category:American gospel singers is really large enough to merit being diffused into subcategories — which, at less than 500 entries overall, is in no way whatsoever a foregone conclusion yet — then that diffusion would need to go by state first rather than skipping that and going straight to individual cities. And
Category:Singers from Detroit is even smaller than the gospel singers category (that plus this = just 216 articles) and thus there's simply no real basis yet to even attempt a serious argument that it needs diffusion badly enough to warrant this. Diffusion on size grounds is not automatically warranted the moment a category passes 200 articles and o horror of horrors a user can't see all the category contents on one page anymore — if there were 1,000+ articles in the parent category then there would be a case for size-control diffusion, but if the category is in the mere hundreds then the case for diffusion still has to rest on either direct definingness (which this isn't) or "this is an overall generally accepted subcategorization scheme that's expected to exist" (which this isn't.)

The result of the discussion was:rename, as I do not think this conflicts with

Nominator's rationale To match other categories in the parect category of
