Support the first one per nom. For the 1st millennium CE, better expand the nomination to the 10th century (or else leave the 1st millennium alone in its entirety) because a half-diffused millennium category is rather confusing.

It is not about the number of subcategories but about the size of them. If many subcategories are small then the tree is not large.
Marcocapelle (

20:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)reply
What size is needed for large scheme? Where I can read about it? The subcategories consist of big number of pages: 154 (association football), 107 (athletics), 25 (baseball), 38 (basketball) 35 (cricket), 68 (cycling), 17 (field hockey), 48 (figure skating), 41 (ice hockey), 94 (motorsport) etc. So, more than 700+ pages included in the subcats. Is it a large scheme or not? How much articles needed for large scheme?

Comment & Query I'm fine with the merge ALT. But why "definitely do not rename"? The current name, beginning with the word "mandatory", looks like it was the forcible expulsion of Palestinians. Putting it as the third word in upper case, makes it less likely that this error would occur.

Agree that assassination is politically relevant (and thus relevant to anarchist biographies), but I expect most of these belong in fact to
Category:Executed anarchists, which already exists. If the category is renamed to Assassinated, someone will need to go through and double-check which bio goes where. I'm happy to do that if the category is renamed, if someone pings me about it. --
