The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 20:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The modern state of Croatia did not exist in the 7/8th century. At that time, the Duchy of Croatia covered the territory. There is only 1 entry in each category for the 7th & 8th centuries which have been added to Category:People from the Duchy of Croatia. All those in the 9th century category are already members of Category:Dukes of Croatia which is in turn a child of Category:People from the Duchy of Croatia. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 17:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Comment I agree. That's why they are in Category:People from the Duchy of Croatia. I'm not proposing to abolish the Croatian people. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 16:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per Marcocapelle's proposal. -- Just N. ( talk) 12:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- It is unnecessary to change anything. The fact that it refers to a particular polity with a particualr status (Duchy or kingdom) can be covered in a headnote. I strongly object to Laura Lodged's policy of fragmenting categories, according to changing constitutrional status. Category names are best when they are short, to limit category clutter.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:4th-century establishments in the Roman Empire. – Fayenatic London 20:06, 9 September 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The modern state of Croatia did not exist in the 4th century. It was largely contained in the Roman province of Dalmatia at that time. The contents have been diffused to Category:Establishments in Dalmatia (Roman province). There is not enough content for "by century" categories.

Nominator's rationale: The modern state of Croatia did not exist in the 7/8/9th centuries. For a little under 200 years, a Duchy of Croatia existed. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 16:43, 16 August 2021 (UTC) reply

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 talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge ( non-admin closure) Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:27, 24 August 2021 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Both categories contain just one page. There is no need to have separate categories for U.S. state's as the parent category has just 2 pages. The merge would result in 4 pages. I'm tempted to open more discussion for merging more of the surrounding tree into just Category:Gaelic football in the United States. – Aidan721 ( talk) 13:27, 16 August 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Support with caveat - this article is becoming a bit of a Gdanzig. Be aware that the name may go through further iterations at some point down the line. Grutness... wha? 03:32, 16 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Support as this looks like it will be the stable name for at least a while. If the article is renamed again, the category should be too. Elli ( talk | contribs) 19:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Comment No, I can't support the renaming for encyclopedic reasons. The new wording is more vague and an encyclopedia should keep to clear facts and words. OTOH the formal rules force more or less that the category wording follows the article wording. So the renaming will be done and I'll have to accept that. -- Just N.
