Nominator's rationale: In line with similar categories. There are only 3 actual articles in the categories I've listed.

Certainly merge
Category:Polish twins because of overlapping scope with the target. I would have expected that a reverse merge would be more appropriate here but for some reason the whole tree of
Category:Twin people by nationality uses the "people from" format.
The actual articles are also rather weird. Strange that we havent got a category for identical twin Presidents.

Heavily prune Some one has created a tree, at the bottom on which there may be three articles. That non-identical twins both act is probably not significant, but having identical ones gives rise to interesting dramatic possibilities, for example in
Comedy of Errors. My preferred merge target would be
Category:Polish twins. Inserting "people" is redundant. I agree that an actors category needs to be among the merge targets unless all articles have appropriate categories already.

All the similar categories are like "Twin people from Foo". I wouldnt object to changing that, but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.

Category:Professional magicians
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.
Nominator's rationale: All the articles in the parent category, Magicians, are about people who performs magic for their living. No need to have a separate category for professionals

Merge As creator of this category, I approve of this merge. If we need an amateur magicians category, we can always make it a subcategory of this. --

Selective merge only where needed; there are currently only 6 pages that are not in national sub-categories, see
Petscan. –

Nominator's rationale: Meets
WP:USERCATNO#6. Just because one likes cheese doesn't mean they also like editing cheese-related Wikipedia articles.

Nominator's rationale: The
University of Dallas was known as Holy Trinity College only up through 1910. The school's football team existed through 1925, at which time the school's sports teams were known as the Dallas Hilltoppers.

Support renaming. Program appears to have been known by the Dallas name for the majority of its existence.
Ostealthy (

Support renaming per nom. My search of Newspapers.com confirms the rationale, i.e., no usage of Holy Trinity Hilltoppers from 1912-1925. Usage was infrequent but what there is some for Dallas Hilltoppers.
