Nederlandse Leeuw (

Oh wow! I don't think all of these categories are nonsense, but it is rather suspicious that most (but not all) of them were created by the same user. Yes, let's leave the rest for later. Thanks for being so eagle-eyed, I'm glad you spotted all this.
Nederlandse Leeuw (

Ah, I hadn't see that yet but as you posted this I discovered a few other things... Do you want me to call out Maxaxax as recreating deleted categories in the rationale itself?
I've updated the rationale.
WP:G4 is now the primary reason. If I had been more inquisitive, I would have speedied them.
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 14:47, 25 April 2023 (UTC)reply
Selectively merge and delete, too many items do not belong here and with the ones that do belong the categories become too small.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 14:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)reply
In addition I'd like to raise another type of suggestion, namely to limit
Category:Civilizations entirely to a topic category. Per
WP:SHAREDNAME we should not categorize just by what happens to be part of the article title, so if we allow a set category with articles with "civilization" in the title we might also allow articles with "world" in the title (e.g.
Western world) and it becomes a bit arbitrary where to draw the line. If this is perceived to be a good suggestion then I will nominate
Category:Civilizations for renaming to
Category:Civilization.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 15:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)reply
The suggestion to have a
Category:Civilization (singular) is an interesting one, but perhaps as a parent of
Category:Civilizations (plural) for those ancient civilisations that are so titled or altnamed? I wouldn't completely write off the plural category tree just yet. Cheers,

Oh wow! I don't think all of these categories are nonsense, but it is rather suspicious that most (but not all) of them were created by the same user. Yes, let's leave the rest for later. Thanks for being so eagle-eyed, I'm glad you spotted all this.

Ah, I hadn't see that yet but as you posted this I discovered a few other things... Do you want me to call out Maxaxax as recreating deleted categories in the rationale itself?
I've updated the rationale.
WP:G4 is now the primary reason. If I had been more inquisitive, I would have speedied them.

Selectively merge and delete, too many items do not belong here and with the ones that do belong the categories become too small.

In addition I'd like to raise another type of suggestion, namely to limit
Category:Civilizations entirely to a topic category. Per
WP:SHAREDNAME we should not categorize just by what happens to be part of the article title, so if we allow a set category with articles with "civilization" in the title we might also allow articles with "world" in the title (e.g.
Western world) and it becomes a bit arbitrary where to draw the line. If this is perceived to be a good suggestion then I will nominate
Category:Civilizations for renaming to
Category:Civilization.

The suggestion to have a
Category:Civilization (singular) is an interesting one, but perhaps as a parent of
Category:Civilizations (plural) for those ancient civilisations that are so titled or altnamed? I wouldn't completely write off the plural category tree just yet. Cheers,

Nominator's rationale: All year cats have 1 article. Full upmerge per
WP:SMALLCAT. Still not enough content to keep decade cats. –
