- Propose merging Category:8th-century BC establishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:8th-century BC establishments
- Propose merging Category:7th-century BC establishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:7th-century BC establishments
- Propose merging Category:6th-century BC establishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:6th-century BC establishments
- Propose merging Category:4th-century disestablishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:4th-century disestablishments
- Propose merging Category:750s disestablishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:750s disestablishments in North America
- Propose merging Category:10th-century disestablishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:10th-century disestablishments in North America
- Propose merging Category:1521 disestablishments in the Zapotec civilization to Category:1521 disestablishments in North America
- Propose deleting Category:6th century BC in the Zapotec civilization
- Propose deleting Category:4th century in the Zapotec civilization
- Propose deleting Category:750s in the Zapotec civilization
- Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, in all of the nominated categories together, there are only four articles: Zapotec civilization itself and three articles that are also in Category:Zapotec sites and they are good at that spot. The four articles are in the first 7 categories of this nomination. All other categories are container categories which naturally become empty after merging the first 7 categories.

- Support -- We do not need a mass of filaments of trees to support so few articles. Peterkingiron ( talk) 00:12, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- Keep most of the tree on the century level, Merge some into century level cats - WP:SMALLCAT applies only to specific years and perhaps decades (1521). GreyShark ( dibra) 09:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Merge/delete as nominated. WP:SMALLCAT is by no means restricted only to year and decade categories—we are looking at a case of ~40 categories being used to house a grand total of 4 articles. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 05:10, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: partial upmerge to Category:Mountains and hills of the Eifel. I verified that all of the articles are already in an appropriate country/state category, so a full upmerge is not required. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 22:38, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Excessive categorisation. We generally categorise by country/state and mountain region, but not both. We already have Category:Mountains and hills of the Eifel, Category:Mountains and hills of North Rhine-Westphalia, Category:Mountains and hills of Rhineland-Palatinate, Category:Mountains and hills of Belgium and Category:Mountains and hills of Luxembourg, so there is no need for these categories added by a (currently banned) user. The articles should be upmerged into Category:Mountains and hills of the Eifel as well as their respective country or state categories. -- Bermicourt ( talk) 12:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

- Upmerge to Category:Mountains and hills of the Eifel, as suggested. There is far too much unnecessary splitting ad infinitum. The fact that there is an intersectiondoes not mean we need a category for it. Peterkingiron ( talk) 00:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
