The
Shire of Pittsworth was a local government entity in Queensland from 1913 until 2008. I haven't included this in the group nomination below for
#Toowoomba Region smallcats ... because unlike those categories, this one could theoretically be expanded to include all the localities which were within its territory.
However, we don't usually categorise geography by former local govt areas, because that would create category clutter on many geographical articles whose local govt units had changed ... so I reckon that it shouldn't be expanded in that way. A category for a former local govt unit should contain only articles relating to the former unit's administration and politics.
On that basis, the category shouldn't be expanded beyond the existing two articles, which leaves it as a SMLALLCAT, which should be deleted.

Friedrich W. K. Müller and
Prince Oscar of Prussia (born 1959), remained, with the category being placed in article space (unlike more modern "needs infobox" categories). The latter had an infobox already and I added a former to clear out this template, which will likely never be used again.

Delete unless someone can identify a useful workflow that uses this category. Categorization of redirects like this appears to be makework and is effort that could probably be better spent elsewhere (e.g. fixing problems with categorization of articles). DexDor(talk) 07:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Support move. Maybe 'ISO 639-3 avoided double redirects' would be best. The category links in all the member articles also need to be changed.
The purpose of these categories is to give reasons that a bot (so far PotatoBot) will find exceptions when comparing an ISO code and its expected target. Ideally, every ISO code, and the name associated to that ISO code, will link to the same WP article, and the infobox in that article will include the ISO code. But there are hundreds of exceptions. Often this is because articles have been split, merged, or otherwise moved, but the rd for the ISO code was not corrected to match (most editors won't know to do that), and so the ISO rd needs to be cleaned up. But sometimes there's a legitimate reason for the mismatch. By keeping categories of the exceptions, we reduce the amount of redundant work needed to keep the ISO rd's functioning. —

Nominator's rationale: This category was previously populated by {{WikiProject Prussia}}, deleted in 2010. Two category members,
Friedrich W. K. Müller and
Prince Oscar of Prussia (born 1959), remained, with the category being placed in article space (unlike more modern "needs infobox" categories). The latter had an infobox already and I added a former to clear out this template, which will likely never be used again.

Category:Circular ISO redirects
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: From the description, this should be called "Circular ISO 639-3 redirects" or even "ISO 639-3 avoided double redirects".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The nomination was malformed because no target was explicitly stated on top, but I've fixed it based on the nominator's suggestions.

Delete unless someone can identify a useful workflow that uses this category. Categorization of redirects like this appears to be makework and is effort that could probably be better spent elsewhere (e.g. fixing problems with categorization of articles). DexDor(talk) 07:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Delete per Marcocapelle. The nomination has been open for 5 weeks, and in that time nobody has clarified the purpose of this category. So there's no reason to keep it.
Note that the category creator,
User:Kwamikagami, was notified by Twinkle. They responded by just removing the notification
[1] ... which I take as a lack of interest in its fate. --

Support move. Maybe 'ISO 639-3 avoided double redirects' would be best. The category links in all the member articles also need to be changed.
The purpose of these categories is to give reasons that a bot (so far PotatoBot) will find exceptions when comparing an ISO code and its expected target. Ideally, every ISO code, and the name associated to that ISO code, will link to the same WP article, and the infobox in that article will include the ISO code. But there are hundreds of exceptions. Often this is because articles have been split, merged, or otherwise moved, but the rd for the ISO code was not corrected to match (most editors won't know to do that), and so the ISO rd needs to be cleaned up. But sometimes there's a legitimate reason for the mismatch. By keeping categories of the exceptions, we reduce the amount of redundant work needed to keep the ISO rd's functioning. —

Nominator's rationale:Category:State schools in Nigeria would follow a pattern, but I don't know what they're actually called in Nigeria, and the two articles don't help.

Delete, not a defining characteristic.
Marcocapelle (

Keep. Of course it's defining, just like it is in the other subcats of
Category:State schools. I can't see a problem with the title either. Many countries call state-run schools "government schools". --

The whole tree of
Category:State schools may be nominated for merge. Schools that aren't private schools aren't specifically known as state schools because that is the default.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 03:34, 15 July 2020 (UTC)reply
In many countries there are more private secondary schools than state secondary schools, so I'm not at all sure it is the default. --

I am happy to learn which countries you are referring to, but Nigeria is not one of them.
