The relative amount of songs (never went into numeric specifics) is extremely relevant as it is legitimate and navigationally helpful to tie that well-populated category of songs by Starset to the Starset article through a category system.

Nominator's rationale:upmerge as an unneeded category layer, containing only two subcats. (Initially I was considering nominating the category for deletion, as the two subcategories don't seem to be Ottoman per se. But the large amount of biographies is from the Ottoman era after all.)

Bearcat:Question: should the official title really matter? Names of ministries seem to change all the time, for example one of the people in this category has been a Secretary of Commerce and Public Works. We could alternatively have categories for "Ministers regarding infrastucture" in every country, with a lowercase i.

Procedural oppose, if a rename is needed it should start with having another RM regarding the title of the article
Brain transplant. During the previous RM nobody came up with the suggestion to change transplant into transplantation.

Rename per nom. In the case of this [Topic] in fiction category, the topic is brain transplantation, not brain transplant (singular). The issue of the article name is, in my view, separate—though I will likely move the article accordingly to align with
Organ transplantation (I don't think another RM is needed). --

inclined to delete The only thing I see that this category does is provide something a way to look at all of these in a single category rather than having to traverse a tree. I'm dubious as to whether this is actually helpful.

Keep. When there's a category tree, it's sometimes helpful to have all of the tree's contents in a single place as well as dividing them up among the subcategories. That's what this is doing. For example, a bot might be instructed to perform an action on all redirect templates, and instead of having to go through the subcategories and perhaps encountering the same template twice or accidentally missing one entirely, it can just load this category and get all of the redirect templates from one place.

PS, sometimes it helps to know how many pages are in a category tree. This category provides that ability instantly for its tree: you don't have to add up the contents of the subcategories, and it avoids the problem of double-counting duplicates.

1 It removes the category clutter @
Pariah24: saw which was the basis of this nomination.
2 It provides a more accurate total count of the pages for @
Nyttend: with less maintenance. (Notice that the category incorrectly misses 7 of the 242 articles while the template catches them all.)
