- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Category was created last year without any apparent consensus and limited effort was made to populate it. The criteria for inclusion are hazy because some of the articles mention the word "drama" but most do not. The point is that all Westerns are dramas, although we can accept Comedy Westerns as a distinct offshoot. The target category, from which all 139 drama articles have been moved, contains over 4,000 articles. Trying to move all of those has obviously proved to be an impossible task and the editor concerned has evidently given up. The category is superfluous and presents the project with an unnecessarily difficult maintenance task. Deletion is not an option and an upmerge is needed.

- Propose deleting Category:South Vietnamese Vietnam War flying aces
- Nominator's rationale: The universal defintion of a flying ace is when an aviator shoots down five or more aircraft in aerial combat. During the Vietnam War, there is no instance of South Vietnamese aviators scoring aerial victories against the North Vietnamese Air Force. The two pages in the category are of two mutinous South Vietnamese aviators who were involved in the 1962 South Vietnamese Presidential Palace bombing on 27 February 1962, which aimed to assassinate South Vietnam's President Ngô Đình Diệm. Their actions does not constitute the defintion of a flying ace. Toadboy123 ( talk) 10:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: In the 4th century, most of the area of modern Greece was part of the Roman province of Achaea. Any articles not in Roman Achaea can be parented to Category:4th-century bishops in the Roman Empire. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 17:49, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:4th-century bishops in the Roman Empire per WP:SMALLCAT. If not merged, rename per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 04:46, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment in the 4th century, Larissa (for Achillius of Larissa) and Euroea (for Donatus of Euroea) would not have been in Achaea, but in Thessalia and Epirus Vetus respectively (see map). Place Clichy ( talk) 02:14, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- That brings to another point why merging is preferable: the provinces were not stable throughout the history of the Roman Empire. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:40, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:4th-century bishops in the Roman Empire per WP:SMALLCAT. As it already contains 4 articles it could be recreated if only one more is added. -- Just N. ( talk) 07:58, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Category was created last year without any apparent consensus and limited effort was made to populate it. The criteria for inclusion are hazy because some of the articles mention the word "drama" but most do not. The point is that all Westerns are dramas, although we can accept Comedy Westerns as a distinct offshoot. The target category, from which all 139 drama articles have been moved, contains over 4,000 articles. Trying to move all of those has obviously proved to be an impossible task and the editor concerned has evidently given up. The category is superfluous and presents the project with an unnecessarily difficult maintenance task. Deletion is not an option and an upmerge is needed.

- Propose deleting Category:South Vietnamese Vietnam War flying aces
- Nominator's rationale: The universal defintion of a flying ace is when an aviator shoots down five or more aircraft in aerial combat. During the Vietnam War, there is no instance of South Vietnamese aviators scoring aerial victories against the North Vietnamese Air Force. The two pages in the category are of two mutinous South Vietnamese aviators who were involved in the 1962 South Vietnamese Presidential Palace bombing on 27 February 1962, which aimed to assassinate South Vietnam's President Ngô Đình Diệm. Their actions does not constitute the defintion of a flying ace. Toadboy123 ( talk) 10:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
