• Propose deleting Category:Iran–United States proxy conflict ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: No such conflict exists. Even the main article that was not created by the creator of this category, for the moment is currently tagged for PROD deletion by me, is an OR/Synth article. This category falls into that line. For actual proxy conflicts, Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict and Iran–Israel proxy conflict have a mainspace category and those are real conflicts. This category doesn't have justification to exist.

• Delete I had disowned the category because right now, nothing important had happened yet between the two but when it does, the media will be watching and we can restore the category. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd ( talk) 23:07, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply

• Propose renaming Category:Ships of Red Funnel Ferries to Category:Ships of Red Funnel

Nominator's rationale: The name of the company is Red Funnel not "Red Funnel Ferries". Should be uncontroversial move/rename. Arem Seven ( talk) 10:10, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply

• Propose deleting Category:Māori science ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Science is not specific to any culture. 101.98.39.246 ( talk) 06:24, 1 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Keep Rationale does not make sense. Category contains relevant articles. AusLondonder ( talk) 19:54, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Keep but possibly as Category:Māori and science to match the article Māori and conservation. Peterkingiron ( talk) 15:40, 10 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Do some research you fools. Is there an Asian science page or category, an Eskimo science page or category? And read the Listener letter on science controversy article. It is a controversial topic. 101.98.39.246 ( talk) 08:17, 21 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Merge to Category:Science and technology in New Zealand. Rathfelder ( talk) 17:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC) reply
• Comment, the articles should surely remain part of the tree of Category:Māori. But the category contains three articles about Māori and conservation, it is questionable if that belongs under science and technology. Could Category:Māori and conservation be a way out here?

• Keep - don't see any problem with it. There is eg Category:Ancient Egyptian science and I expect there are plenty of similar such. Oculi ( talk) 11:03, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply
• Keep per the arguments put forward by Oculi, Peterkingiron, and AusLondonder. I don't understand the OP's logic that it is "science is not specific to any culture" as it is specific to Maori culture. Historyday01 ( talk) 19:21, 13 May 2022 (UTC) reply

• Propose deleting Category:Fishing in Lithuania ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article. Perhaps merge to Category:Fishing in Europe, not sure about that because the article is about a town (with angling tourism) rather than about fishing. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Propose renaming Category:Black-owned companies of the United States to Category:Black-owned businesses of the United States

• Alt Category:Black-owned businesses in the United States. Laurel Lodged ( talk) 16:21, 28 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  Not opposed, but I went with "of the United States" per the parent Category:Companies of the United States by ownership. --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 18:15, 28 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Oppose - there is no overall Category:Businesses scheme; it's a redirect to Category:Companies. Instead the few categories which include 'businesses' in their names should be renamed. Oculi ( talk) 00:09, 29 April 2022 (UTC) reply

• Oppose per Oculi. Also looks like Category:Black-owned businesses was created after Category:Black-owned companies of the United States and you were aware. All of the tagged companies were US-based so were diffused deeper. Open question of whether "in the United States" is needed to disambiguate, if the construction is only in reference to the US. czar 14:24, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  Sure, but I created "Category:Black-owned businesses" because of the parent article Black-owned businesses, not to try to mess up a category tree. I don't feel strongly about any of this I'm just seeking consistency. Thanks! --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 16:44, 7 May 2022 (UTC) reply

• Propose renaming Category:Internet people to Category:People related to the Internet

Nominator's rationale: The current name is rather strange. Since 'People in Internet' would likewise be weird, I suggest we use either the 'People related to' construction or 'Peole involved with', both exist in a number of other categories. If you agree, we should similarly rename Category:Wikimedia people and Category:Wikipedia people _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:30, 29 April 2022 (UTC) reply
