Nominator's rationale: Why should we constrain it to linguistic communication? It would be better to use the broader category. Alternatively a superordinate category could be created but I don't think there's enough pages to warrant that.

Disperse content among the two parent categories, then delete, this category is mixing up three relatively unrelated topics: talking animals, animal language and human-animal communication. There is too little content to split, so merging is a better idea.

Nominator's rationale:rename in order to clarify that this is for princes of Kiev proper rather than for princes in the entire Kievan Rus' federation of principalities.

@
Fayenatic london: That's a fair comment. I was looking for some name to disambiguate this category from e.g.
Category:12th-century princes in Kievan Rus' which contains princes of any small principality in the wider Kievan Rus' region. To be more precise the latter could be called
Category:12th-century rulers of Kievan Rus' principalities. In contrast, the nominated category is clearly for rulers of the early undivided principality with Kiev as its capital. It should be noted that while
Kievan Rus' has become the common name, it is also merely a modern historiographic name while the rulers at the time simply called themselves princes and grand princes (or dukes and grand dukes, dependent on translation) of Kiev.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I have added two more WikiProject banners to the talk page in an attempt to alert more editors.

Nominator's rationale: Induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame is not a defining characteristic for any of the individuals included in the category.

Comment -- I do not favour Hall of Fame categories, but sometimes get jumped on when I say so. I think the criterion should be whether the Hall of Fame is a physical museum (which we might keep) or just a virtual one, consisting of a list that is someone's original research (which we should not). Which is this?
