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

Nominator's rationale: per
WP:OCEGRS,
WP:NONDEFINING, and
WP:SMALLCAT. The one remaining subcategory of the top-level category,
Category:African-American mathematicians, is omitted from this proposal for two reasons: first, and more importantly, it is already under discussion, but second, I believe that it is qualitatively different, as an ethnic group of mathematicians that is notable as an intersection: there are multiple books about it, and a major national organization for it. In these other cases, that is not true. The subcategories of Arab mathematicians are nationalities (or in the case of "Medieval Arab mathematicians", a cultural milieu and one that is central to the history of mathematics) rather than ethnicities, so they can stay as national categories; I have not listed them. The ethnic sub-subcategories of Medieval Arab mathematicians can be considered separately; they're too different from the modern ethnic categories to be considered in the same CfD. Possibly
Category:Sri Lankan Tamil mathematicians should be upmerged to
Category:Sri Lankan mathematicians rather than simply deleted. —

Nominator's rationale: All the contents of the parent category is in the immediate area of Boston, making categorization for Boston less relevant. The category still may have been necessary if oversized categories were an issue; however, upmerging this category would keep the parent at 31 pages.

@
Marcocapelle, I have no idea who creates the pages in these categories. I just know that the pages get created on en.wp by some automated process and are overwritten by the version on on some other server (I forget which), so there is nothing we can do to change the category names. Moving the category page will just leave us with a non-empty redlinked category. --

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

Nominator's rationale: per
WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only the head article
Czechoslovak government-in-exile plus one one biog:
Arnošt Frischer, who wasn't a member of the govt. Theoretically, the category could be populated with members of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile ...but the head article lists only two of them, which wouldn't make a viable category. No objection to re-creating the category if and when it can be populated with at least five actual members of the govt.

Keep Frischer was a member of the legislative body of the government. We also have articles on their military forces (which I've added to the category) and other notable members of the government (
Edvard Benes, for instance) some of whom are listed in the article
Cabinet of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, which I also added to the category. The solution was obviously populating the category, not deleting it. (

Keep -- This is now parenting two categories and three articles; and there is no obvious merge target. I think it is unkind to say that Czech forces in British pay during WWII were not forces of the exiled government. Even if they were in practice under British orders, three was probably a mechanism for referring to their own government if put upon.
