- Propose renaming Category:Big Brother (UK) seasons to Category:Big Brother (British TV series) seasons
- Nominator's rationale: Opposed speedy. The main article of the categories is Big Brother (British TV series), and it's also a subcategory of Category:Big Brother (British TV series). Armbrust The Homunculus 16:37, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: There is only one city in Luxembourg Rathfelder ( talk) 12:57, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but dual merge also to Category:Association football clubs by city. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Category:Edible bivalves
- 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.
- The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 04:35, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Being edible (to humans) is subjective (see a recent CFD) and in many cases non-defining (e.g. articles such as Mytilus trossulus and Ensis ensis make no mention of edibility). Note: no upmerge is needed as the articles are categorized by genus etc (in Category:Bivalves by classification). DexDor (talk) 12:45, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Support per precedent. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:29, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per the previous deletions other edible mollusc categories. Plantdrew ( talk) 18:39, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Rename. Many of our readers would be interested in bivalves commonly used as human food (though how many of our readers actually use categories?). If not "edible", then what term, "culinary bivalves"? Pelagic ( talk) 23:34, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- There is Category:Commercial molluscs so a merge to that or a rename to Category:Commercial bivalves is an option. I think readers interested in culinary use of bivalves would be better off going to Bivalvia#Use_as_food (which could be expanded) (and possibly then going to the linked articles) than by going via the category to articles such as Saccostrea cucullata where use as food is barely mentioned.

Category:Decepticons

- The result of the discussion was: merge to
Category:Transformers robot characters; remains virtually uncontested after 7 weeks.
MER-C 10:07, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Decepticons to Category:Transformers characters
- Nominator's rationale: Something like 25 remaining characters in the series. It previously had a maze like structure of some 400+ characters. After removing the redirects, all remaining characters fit comfortably into the primary parent category. This in-universe designation isn't particularly useful for the general reader, especially when most characters have 5+ variations listed on their pages. TTN ( talk) 21:12, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- If merged, merge to Category:Transformers robot characters, see discussion below. Marcocapelle ( talk) 13:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

- Further comment, there are still 12 articles and 13 redirects in the category, so the category does not have to be upmerged by all means.

- Of the 12 articles, three are Autobots, one is a planet-eating deity that is just called a Decepticon for marketing reasons, and one isn't even a Transformers character in the first place.

- Removed Jetfire, Sideswipe (Transformers), Smokescreen (Transformers) and Serpentor from the category. Unicron left in because of consensus agreed back in 2012 that he should be listed as a Decepticon because he was marketed as one, even though pretty his every appearance showed that he was non-aligned and sometimes even actively tried to kill the Decepticons.
