- Propose merging Category:Preteen pregnancy to Category:Teenage pregnancy
- Nominator's rationale: Discussion at Talk:Teenage pregnancy supports having information about preteen pregnancies on the page even though it is titled after teenagers. WashyGenius ( talk) 06:00, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Precocious puberty and pregnancy as clearly within the scope of that category, even though pregnancy is not mentioned in its main article Precocious puberty. Two out of four member articles are also in that one already. – Fayenatic London 20:57, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reply: @ Fayenatic london: I do not agree with this. Puberty in preteens (10-12) is not considered precocious puberty, but normally occurring puberty. Now for the pregnancy being precocious, yes it is, but it's not the same as a girl with precocious puberty (e.g. a 6-year-old) getting pregnant. WashyGenius ( talk) 23:20, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Precocious puberty and pregnancy. The list article set a limit of the mother being under 11 at the time of the birth or abortion, which feels about right. Most of the cases in the list do not have separate articles. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Not to mention the category is largely template-populated anyway so the number of users in the category is a red herring. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:38, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
