- Propose merging Category:Persecution by ethnic group to Category:Ethnic persecution
- Nominator's rationale: As well as being poorly-named and ambiguous, this category is also redundant to its parent, Category:Ethnic persecution, which can serve perfectly well as the direct parent for all of the subcategories. Anomalous+0 ( talk) 22:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Merge - this is one of user:Stefanomione's eternal rocks: "6967 categories still standing as eternal rocks in the ephemeral Wikipedia stream". Make it 6966. Oculi ( talk) 00:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Not enough here to warrant a category: only main article + 1 other article & one sub-cat. Merging not needed or appropriate. Anomalous+0 ( talk) 22:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OCEPON. -- wooden superman 08:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 14:55, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category is ill-defined and very subjective as there are a lot of systems that have slowed or stalled over land and no formal classifications. In fact I would argue that most systems that impact the United States slow down or stall over land. Jason Rees ( talk) 00:41, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Support deletion – agree with the nominator that the category is ill-defined. While I understand the general premise, numerous storms could be included here given the ambiguity of "slowing down", inevitably including a lot of storms that do not produce
large rainfall totals and flooding
as noted on the category page. A wide-range of systems would be included simply because the database of storms serendipitously happens to have a point where a storm's forward motion briefly dropped by a hair for an hour. Since many of the storms in the historical record do not have a precise record of their speed, it seems inevitable that inclusion into this category would run into original research. As an aside, I note the following articles in the category: Hurricane Klaus, which never made landfall; and Tropical Storm Hanna (2002), which slowed down by 2 mi/h for only a six hour period. TheAustinMan( Talk ⬩ Edits) 18:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC) - DElete -- most cyclones that go inland slow and become down-classified to tropical storms. They all ultimately decay away.
