Delete Even a bigger problem is that this is a category, not a category of lists. It might (but probably would not) work as an actual list, but fails as a category. They probably didn't try a list because there is a total lack of reliable sourcing that discusses these as a group.

Upmerge It appears in Caribou the "mayor" is actually the head of the council with additional honorific duties. The term is 1 year at a time. 2 of these people were state senators (one succeeded the other) and the third is notable as a prominent person in state-wide civic action, not really for her short time as mayor. Just to make things more fun that 3rd person was the wife of another one of the mayors we have an article on. With this merger we will have 15 articles in the people from Caribou, Maine category. There is no good reason to split in any way a people from category that is that small.

Support, the second rename is simply a matter of improved grammar, the first rename splits the category in two clearly distinct categories (one consisting of styles, the other by style). The third rename could be a bit more debatable because many subcats contain "period" instead of "style". However the current name of the nominated category does not contain "period" either, so the proposal is an improvement anyway.

Category:Architectural styles properly. All too often sweeping movements are approved here without considering this, resulting in a worse mess than in the first place.

While this is being discussed, Climate change science is a sub category of Climate which is a sub category of Climatology. Should Climatology be a sub category of Climate rather than other way around? I wouldn't know how to make such a change, nor would I be sure of appropriate reasons to make/change it one way or the other.

Agree that climatology should be a subcategory of climate. Climatology is (just) the study of climate, while climate is the broader topic.

Not sure I do not oppose a merge but I also would not oppose the recreation of this category if anyone developed it better. Currently "climate change science" is a smaller category containing more technical articles and "climatology" is the larger category which seems to contain some but not all of the science, and also many political, data, or list-oriented articles.
Category:Climate change skepticism and denial is not a subtopic of either of these, and instead is a subtopic with these under
Category:Climate change. Probably there are enough articles in the top level "climate change" to justify having a discussion to plan the structure of all subtopics, and not just considering this one category independently. Still, if there is only interest in looking at this one category now, then it could be merged, but I would not want a present merge to be a barrier to any future dividing into subcategories by replicating this category or introducing any new scheme.
Blue Rasberry (talk)19:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)reply
Merge per nom. Climate science does not really study static climate, all they study pretty much has to do with climate history, which is all about climate change.
