- Delete both Category:Women architects who own/owned a firm and Category:Women architects who own a firm. There is no general category for architects by ownership, and any such category would be unworkable because of its fuzziness: the title could describe sole ownership, or partnership, or being a sole trader.

- Delete per nom, unless someone can provide evidence that the intersection of nursing and LBT status meets the test set in WP:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality#Special_subcategories, which begins:
- "Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African-American musicians, should be created only where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. If a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) cannot be written for such a category, then the category should not be created. Please note that this does not mean that the head article must already exist before a category can be created, but that it must at least be possible to create one."
- It's easy to create such intersection categories, but unless we apply the criteria these intersection cats will proliferate and cause clutter. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 00:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: With very few non-American equivalents to categorize as such yet, LGBT-related animated web series do not need to be subcategorized by nationality -- and with just eight articles here, neither ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:American LGBT-related web series nor ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:American animated web series have any pressing need to be crosscategorized for the intersection either. Note that the articles should also be upmerged to those parent categories. Bearcat ( talk) 18:54, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Rename per nom.— TAnthony Talk 19:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Oppose, this would incorrectly remove the articles from the tree of Category:American LGBT-related web series and Category:American animated web series.If there are articles about non-American LGBT-related animated web series, Category:LGBT-related animated web series should be created as a parent category.

- @ Laurel Lodged offers no reason for making Harare Polytechnic an exception to the naming convention used in Category:Alumni by university or college in Zimbabwe. If LL or any other editor wants to change the naming convention for alumni in a particular country, then they should do a group nomination for all alumni categories in the country .... and explain why Zimbabwe should be an exception to the rest of Africa.
- LL has been participating in CFD for long enough to know very well that consistency is a key principle of category naming. This attempt to use yet another discussion to try to break a convention for no stated reason is

- I'd be grateful to BHG if she could clarify the terms of her personal accusation: please specify which convention am I trying to break, the Indian convention, the American convention or the UK/Irish convention? Having done that, it would be useful for this and other discussions if BHG could go on to explain why the convention that is about to be broken has claims to universal standards, as opposed to local usage. Lastly, having identified the universal wiki standard convention, what proposals does BHG advance for remedying the non conforming tree structures? Laurel Lodged ( talk) 13:05, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering ( Talk) 14:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Propose merging:
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT: small, with little or potential for growth.
- These are the only by-year and by-decade categories in each of their sets for periods before 1000 AD. That is the usual cut-off point for by-year and by-decade categories, and I don't see any reason to make fictional settings an exception.
- Note that I spotted these when I converted the fiction category header templates to a parameterless format. This caused {{ Fiction set in year category}} and {{ Fiction set in year category}} to break on these categories, because the templates expect a 4-digit year/decade. I could modify the templates to accept 3-digit years/decades (albeit at the cost of some added complexity), but it seems to me that a better solution is to follow the principle adopted at numerous CFDs over the last few years (mostly proposed by @ Marcocapelle) to avoid a collection of WP:SMALLCATs for these early periods, by consolidating the entries into by-century categories. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Note to closer: If the consensus is to keep either by-year or by-decade categories, please notify me. I will then modify the category header templates to support 3-digit years. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) concert tours to Category:BTS concert tours
- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) members to Category:BTS members
- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) songs to Category:BTS songs
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TOPICCAT, the category name should match the article name. BTS (band) was recently moved to BTS following a requested moved. Despite the long list at BTS (disambiguation), the official names of those entries is not "BTS", it is simply the abbreviated form of their official names. In actuality, only three pages in the disambiguation page contain "BTS": BTS Group, BTS Group Holdings, and BTS Skytrain. In addition to only being partial page title matches, is it not realistic to expect readers to search for albums, songs, concert tours, etc., from a consulting firm, a public company, or a transit system. Practices suggest we do not preemptively disambiguate categories if the main article in question is the clear primary topic. We have Michael Jackson and Category:Michael Jackson, not Category:Michael Jackson (American singer) despite the existence of Michael Jackson (English singer) and several other notable Michael Jacksons. Precedence suggests the opposite – when the article for Adele (singer) was moved to Adele, Category:Adele (singer) and its subcategories were moved to Category:Adele without the parenthetical disambiguation as a result of a 2015 CFD, even in light of both Adele (disambiguation) and 80 or so people with the give name Adele. BTS has one clear topic that is quite evident from search trends and the aforementioned page move, which becomes even more conspicuous in category names. Ə XPLICIT 02:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per nom, unless someone can provide evidence that the intersection of nursing and LBT status meets the test set in WP:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality#Special_subcategories, which begins:
- "Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African-American musicians, should be created only where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. If a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) cannot be written for such a category, then the category should not be created. Please note that this does not mean that the head article must already exist before a category can be created, but that it must at least be possible to create one."
- It's easy to create such intersection categories, but unless we apply the criteria these intersection cats will proliferate and cause clutter. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 00:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OCEGRS, no evidence in either of the article that their sexuality was related to their work as a nurse. For a relevant category see Category:LGBT writers or Category:LGBT musicians. Inter&anthro ( talk) 16:47, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- There are plenty of gay male nurses, at least in England, but its not defining and I've never seen any public discussion of it. I dont think it meets the test. Rathfelder ( talk) 18:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete no evidence that LGBT nurses do anything differently than other nurses. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 00:26, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: With very few non-American equivalents to categorize as such yet, LGBT-related animated web series do not need to be subcategorized by nationality -- and with just eight articles here, neither ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:American LGBT-related web series nor ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:American animated web series have any pressing need to be crosscategorized for the intersection either. Note that the articles should also be upmerged to those parent categories. Bearcat ( talk) 18:54, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Rename per nom.— TAnthony Talk 19:29, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Oppose, this would incorrectly remove the articles from the tree of Category:American LGBT-related web series and Category:American animated web series.If there are articles about non-American LGBT-related animated web series, Category:LGBT-related animated web series should be created as a parent category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 21:24, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Only two articles. The categories aren't actually particularly relevant because they're general categories on the campaign settings of D&D rather than lists of locations. The "Dungeons & Dragons extraplanar creatures" wouldn't be relevant to the locations either. Also upmerge to "Fictional dimensions." TTN ( talk) 18:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- @ Laurel Lodged offers no reason for making Harare Polytechnic an exception to the naming convention used in Category:Alumni by university or college in Zimbabwe. If LL or any other editor wants to change the naming convention for alumni in a particular country, then they should do a group nomination for all alumni categories in the country .... and explain why Zimbabwe should be an exception to the rest of Africa.
- LL has been participating in CFD for long enough to know very well that consistency is a key principle of category naming. This attempt to use yet another discussion to try to break a convention for no stated reason is

- I'd be grateful to BHG if she could clarify the terms of her personal accusation: please specify which convention am I trying to break, the Indian convention, the American convention or the UK/Irish convention? Having done that, it would be useful for this and other discussions if BHG could go on to explain why the convention that is about to be broken has claims to universal standards, as opposed to local usage. Lastly, having identified the universal wiki standard convention, what proposals does BHG advance for remedying the non conforming tree structures? Laurel Lodged ( talk) 13:05, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Fiction set in years and decades of the 10th century

- The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering ( Talk) 14:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Propose merging:
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT: small, with little or potential for growth.
- These are the only by-year and by-decade categories in each of their sets for periods before 1000 AD. That is the usual cut-off point for by-year and by-decade categories, and I don't see any reason to make fictional settings an exception.
- Note that I spotted these when I converted the fiction category header templates to a parameterless format. This caused {{ Fiction set in year category}} and {{ Fiction set in year category}} to break on these categories, because the templates expect a 4-digit year/decade. I could modify the templates to accept 3-digit years/decades (albeit at the cost of some added complexity), but it seems to me that a better solution is to follow the principle adopted at numerous CFDs over the last few years (mostly proposed by @ Marcocapelle) to avoid a collection of WP:SMALLCATs for these early periods, by consolidating the entries into by-century categories. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Note to closer: If the consensus is to keep either by-year or by-decade categories, please notify me. I will then modify the category header templates to support 3-digit years. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) concert tours to Category:BTS concert tours
- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) members to Category:BTS members
- Propose renaming Category:BTS (band) songs to Category:BTS songs
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TOPICCAT, the category name should match the article name. BTS (band) was recently moved to BTS following a requested moved. Despite the long list at BTS (disambiguation), the official names of those entries is not "BTS", it is simply the abbreviated form of their official names. In actuality, only three pages in the disambiguation page contain "BTS": BTS Group, BTS Group Holdings, and BTS Skytrain. In addition to only being partial page title matches, is it not realistic to expect readers to search for albums, songs, concert tours, etc., from a consulting firm, a public company, or a transit system. Practices suggest we do not preemptively disambiguate categories if the main article in question is the clear primary topic. We have Michael Jackson and Category:Michael Jackson, not Category:Michael Jackson (American singer) despite the existence of Michael Jackson (English singer) and several other notable Michael Jacksons. Precedence suggests the opposite – when the article for Adele (singer) was moved to Adele, Category:Adele (singer) and its subcategories were moved to Category:Adele without the parenthetical disambiguation as a result of a 2015 CFD, even in light of both Adele (disambiguation) and 80 or so people with the give name Adele. BTS has one clear topic that is quite evident from search trends and the aforementioned page move, which becomes even more conspicuous in category names. Ə XPLICIT 02:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
