- Propose merging Category:Washington Spirit non-playing staff to Category:Washington Spirit coaches
- Nominator's rationale: Clearly a redundant category and should be merged. Seany91 ( talk) 19:39, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. S.A. Julio ( talk) 02:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose These are distinct categories, Category:Washington Spirit coaches belongs to the Category:Association football managers category tree, intended to cover the manager/head coach of football teams. Category:Washington Spirit non-playing staff belongs to the Category:Association football non-playing staff category tree, covering all other coaching roles and club staff. S.A. Julio ( talk) 02:46, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only 1, 2 or 3 articles per category. A second merge target is not needed in the former four cases, where all articles are already in a century subcategory of Category:People of Ifriqiya.
- If not merged, rename "Tunisian" to "of Ifriqyia" per WP:C2C and per consensus in this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:49, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
- I added two categories more on 29 August. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support all these. Tunisia didnt exist then. Rathfelder ( talk) 21:12, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Support, but better to rename to Foo of the medieval Islamic world. Just Islam is very inprecise, better to use the full medieval Islamic world. -- Privybst ( talk) 20:33, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

However, a limited (58) number of these former raions have their own categories populated with current things (populated places and football clubs, mostly) and that does not make much sense. Current places and football clubs belong in a category of a current administrative division, not a former one. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:42, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

- Indeed it was. But it's not being used for people who were in the social class, which is highly subjective in any case. It's just being used to collect all articles which have "yeoman" or "yeomen" in the title. We don't usually keep categories like that. What's the point to them? -- Necrothesp ( talk) 10:19, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep but purge of people. I cannot see why Kincard is in this at all. Broughton ought to be in a regimental category for
King's Body Guard of the Yeoman of the Guard. I recall reading that yeoman of the signals was a role in the British navy and would need a subcat, if it could be populated.

- A yeoman of signals is a signals petty officer in the RN. Category:Royal Navy sailors is fine. We don't need a category for every rank or specialism. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 10:19, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to Yeoman (disambiguation) in article space. There are too many completely different uses of the word yeoman to merit a category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:06, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
