This is not a case of a shared name. Mineral butters share physical (soft) and chemical (inorganic chloride) properties.
[1] The terms used to be more common, but now the systematic names are used more often. Since there isn't a main article (and there's not really enough to say about it to be worth creating a main article), I think it would be better to delete the category and put a brief explanation of mineral butters at the
butters disambiguation page.

Delete for Now I'm open to a well sourced main article changing my mind but, without that, my read is the same: this is likely a shared name cat without navigational benefit. -

Nominator's rationale:Merge. This category was created in 2014 by
user:Stefanomione, but I cannot distinguish its purpose from the target category which is from 2004. Even Stefanomione admitted the very next day after creating this category that "in this field, 8 [themes and topics] categories have the same content".
[2] The main article is
List of science fiction themes. –

Nominator's rationale: merge per
WP:SMALLCAT, this concerns categorization by 3rd and 4th level administrative divisions of Greece, leading to a endless series of single-article or 2-article categories. The proposal is to merge to 2nd level administrative division, except cities and larger towns, in this case except
Trikala (62,000 people) and
Kalabaka (9,000 people). This is follow-up on
this earlier nomination.

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary and mostly ignored intermediate categorisation.
Category:Wheeled motor vehicles is effectively "Non-four wheeled motor vehicles" as it conspicuously doesn't have a four-wheeled subcategory making it not actually contain the majority of wheeled motor vehicles.

Keep Italy is one of the few places in the world where sub-national categorisation makes sense. If you allow it for most Italian regions, then you have to allow it for
Aosta Valley, even though it can only ever have one entry since the diocese and the region are co-terminous.

Support Leave the bishops in their dioceses and national categories. Let the dioceses have a regional as well as a national life as they are more suited to geograpghical dispersion. Not perfectly though - some Italian dioceses straddle two regions (Friuli ?).

Merge back into Category:Valerii—all of the Valerii Antiates should be there. For that matter I think that should be the case with most categories for individual stirpes of Roman gentes—and was, until recently. Hardly any Roman gentes have as many as a dozen articles about any particular stirps, or more than a few dozen about all their members combined. As for "Antiates", even though I saw and read through this debate a few days ago, seeing it in the CGR article alerts this morning, I thought the category was for residents of Antium—literally what the name means. We might not need a category if we don't have many articles about them, but that's who should logically go in a category with this title.

The
Committee for Skeptical Inquiry is a group of scientists that attempts to debunk paranormal claims and the fellowship recognizes skeptical scientists or activists. The vast majority of these people are scientists known for their research in their respective field and, while they may have once debunked something on the side at some point, the articles don't tend to mention this award at all. (There are some exceptions, like
Susan Gerbic and
Mick West who are already categorized as skeptics.) The category contents are already listified right
here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. -
