Support in principle however remove the template (i.e. don't include it in the merger) and add the main article to all parent categories instead of just one.

Support - although it looks like a category that has been emptied out of process, it is really not clear what the creator intended to do with this category. Note that
comments in this CfD seem to imply that they intended one day or another to use it in place of established
Orders, decorations, and medals, but besides attempts at circular category inclusions this did not go very far.

Delete. None of the mayors has an article, so it's rather pointless.

Alternative suggestion: Place
Category:Redirects from fictional characters, etc. and leave all the work-specific categories at the lower levels. Note that {{Redirect category}} will need to be modified and perhaps standalone template(s) be created for these types of redirects. –

Support, but you do not really need CfD for that.
Be bold and create the intermediate category yourself! In case automatic category inclusion done by redirect templates is an issue, you may requets help at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect.

Delete no reason to have this level of category that is unlikely to ever get more than 2 articles. Even a 3rd law college would not really justify this.

Nominator's rationale: In the current setup, any Taiwanese boy-band or girl-group that becomes the subject of an article will automatically be marked as an "idol" by Wikipedia. This does not seem like a good assumption to make. A better approach would be to do what
Category:Japanese idol groups does and classify the groups as "related" categories. However, in this case,
Category:Taiwanese pop music groups appears to have the same content with a few extra loose entries. Therefore the "idol" category is redundant and should be deleted.
