Nominator's rationale: No reason to use "la" from French instead of "the", especially when the
Société entomologique de France page uses "The" in the lead. I would have nominated these categories for speedy renaming, but I wasn't sure what critera they would fall under in this case.

Delete Members/Rename Presidents This is a membership organization not a learned society with a strict limit on member where simply being asked to join is defining which goes against
WP:OCASSOC. (The
online application asks for two references from existing members and you have to answer how many legs an insect has as a spam filter, so they don't take themselves too seriously.) For the Presidents, we should use English category names outside of the formal names, even if it feels a little jarring. -

Delete both but perhaps listify the Presidents, but there is already a list up to 1986, with a lot of redlinks. Membership of a society is generally not defining. The entry requirement of needing two proposers does not change that.

Oculi. In which case do you suggest a renaming of category as it fails C2D? FWIW, I didn't nominate the other 2 because there is no confusion in the nomenclature. --

3) Too vague as to what constitutes a “Transylvanian Romanian”. Is it only ethnic Romanians, or also other nationalities? Only pre-1918 or -1867, or also modern people? What if a subject was born outside Transylvania to parents from there, or vice versa? What if only one parent was from Transylvania, or what if the subject moved there as an adult? Etc. —

Comment -- Transylvania was formerly part of Hungary, but transferred to Romania after WWI. The region retains a substantial Hungarian-speaking population. The rationale that this is non-defining is wrong. The category is certainly unsatisfactory, but deleting it out of hand is liable to leave articles orphaned. Instead we need to agree what the target categories for a split should be; then those categories need to be created and added to each article. Only when that has been done should deletion be implemented.
