I found this by looking for categories that contained the term "users" (which I was looking for on the grounds that many of them are misnamed user categories that should use the term "Wikipedians" instead).

Nominator's rationale: The scheme for television series set in the more distant future appears to go by decades not individual years. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me19:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)reply
Good suggestion, but since there are a few other "video games set in XXXX" categories, it might be best to bundle those together in a separate nomination. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me05:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)reply
Merge When it comes to works set in the future, almost any year is interchangeable with any other made-up number. Nonetheless, sorting by decade is still useful up to the end of the 21st century, since this includes different kinds of works set in the near future. –

Keep/neutral Only having one page in the category isn't a suitable reason for merging. Looks like the category was created on the birthplace of the person in that category. Not against merging here, but don't really see an issue with this category.

Nominator's rationale: They are not really "of" Fingal since the baronies were created prior to the creation of
Fingal as as county. Rather they are baronies that are located within the bounds of the county (either wholly or partially). For almost every other
county of Ireland, a county was sub-divided into a specific number of baronies that were formerly used for local administration.

There's no need for the category at all.
Baronies were subdivisions of the traditional counties like
County Dublin. The administrative county of Fingal was created in 1994 without regard for the earlier baronies, as many of them straddle Fingal's boundary. ~

Reply As a county of Ireland, Fingal has as much validity for a first-level country sub-division as does County Dublin or County Cork. As the nomination states, the scope is appropriate to things in the county rather than things that are or were intrinsic (of) to the county. But Asarlai & I have rehearsed these arguments many times.

Comment -- as I am not Irish, I am reluctant to vote, but the whole category seems anachronistic. However, I wonder whether we should not merge back to
Category:Baronies in County Dublin on the basis that baronies became defunct administrative entities long before the present County Fingal was created in 1994. I note that there is a sibling category for those in Dublin (city).
