Nominator's rationale: 2 categories created at 3 weeks of distance with seemingly identical scope. Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and Free and Hanseatic City of Bremen both redirect to Bremen (state), which states that it is called "officially the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (German: Freie Hansestadt Bremen)."

Nominator's rationale: As per naming scheme in Category:Ethnic groups in India Gjs238 ( talk) 17:31, 21 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, hardly any article mentions ethnicity. Some articles may be moved to the category discussed below. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:51, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    Meo is an ethnic group refering to Muslim's belonging to villages from the region, hence it is plausable for the category to be named "Meo people". In terms of the standard Indian language, the correct and more appropriate title is"Mewati people". Ah507 ( talk) 03:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to Category:Meo people. In the spirit of consensus, also support Delete outcome per Marcocapelle as second-best option. In India, caste is often defining for many individuals, especially in a historical context. Article Zakir Hussain (Haryana politician), for instance, consistently links this identification with events in Hussain's biography: He was the first college graduate in the Meo (Muslim) Community... He was responsible for the Meo Community's decision to stay in India at the behest of Mahatma Gandhi [...] instead of going to Pakistan... He was the Chaudhary (Social Head) of Meo (Muslim) Community... So that would certainly be defining for this article, one of the few I looked up. Other articles mention a link to the Political families of Haryana#Shri Rahim Khan Clan of Mewat (presented as "the most prominent out of all of the Meo Muslim Clans of Mewat") but that's not entirely defining in the ethnic sense. So in any case if kept, the category may need to be purged of articles not eligible per WP:EGRS. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    I think you are unaware of the socio-religious context of the ethnic term "Meo". Meo's are the people who lived under the Khanzada Rulers of Mewat. The term Meo is region specific and religion specific as well. Meo's are considered an ethnicity under the Other Backward Class scheme of the Government of India. (refer to BLOCK B, Number 5), which refers to socially backwards or disadvangated castes (ethnic groups) . In order to be a Meo, one needs to belong to the region and needs to be a Muslim as well, there are no Hindu Ethnic Meos. In the article Zakir Hussain (Haryana politician), the term Meo community is refering to Meos as an ethnic group. In the second article you referenced, Political families of Haryana#Shri Rahim Khan Clan of Mewat, the term "Muslim" is being used as discretional specificity because it is already known that ethnic Meo's are Muslim. Meos are legally recognized as an ethnic group or caste under the schemes of the Indian Government. Ah507 ( talk) 10:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Here is another list (refer to Entry No. 67) released by the Government of India referring to Meos as part of the Other Backwards Class scheme. Based on this it would be appropriate to change the name to Category:Meo people. For further clarity:
    - Mewat is a historical region.
    - Meos are an ethnic group or caste that is region specific (to Mewat) and religion specific (to Islam).
    - When the term "Muslim" is attached to the term "Meo", it is done discretionally.
    - Not every inhabitant of the Mewat region is necessarily a Meo. Ah507 ( talk) 10:36, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Also one more thing I want to make clear is that not every Muslim from the region of Mewat is necessarily a Meo. The ethnicity has already been compounded from the previous castes and clans the poeple of this region belonged to, hence, it is impossible for someone from the region who originally belonged to another caste to adopt Islam and then be called a Meo. In short, Meos are indeed a recognized ethnic group and their ethnicity has already been established. Ah507 ( talk) 10:43, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply

(answered after relisting) Based on these explanations, I still think that renaming to Category:Meo people is the best solution, unless there is a grammatical issue I did not see. I don't think I ever argued that there existed Hindu Meos. Place Clichy ( talk) 21:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Support as per Place Clichy. When I originally proposed the merge to "Mewat people" I was considering "Mewat" an ethnicity. Now that we are considering Mewat as an historical region and "Meo" as an ethnicity, renaming the category Meo people seems logical and in accordance with the scheme used in Category:Ethnic groups in India.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Bahá'í Faith in Oceania, Category:Religion in American Samoa, and Category:Religion in Samoa. It was improper to empty the categories, but there were initially only two articles. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 15:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Article Baháʼí Faith in the Samoas treats the history of the Baháʼís in both parts of the Samoan archipelago. A user had create the first nominated category, which does not fall under the schemes at Category:Bahá'í Faith by country or Category:Religion by country. I attempted to create two national categories but I was reverted and therefore I ask the opinion of the community. Besides the main article, the only content is Malietoa Tanumafili II, head of state of (independent) Samoa, who was of the Bahá'í faith. Note that content relative to American Samoa is pretty light, even in the main article. My preference would be Option A (per the structure of parent and sibling categories) > Option C (seen the amount of content) > Option B. Place Clichy ( talk) 13:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I'm for option B. From what I've seen while there is distinction of the communities there is also unity between them. However I'm not locally based - just what I've seen in the article's coverage that implies more in common than distinct between the places. Adding them to the schemes of "by country" seems more an option of adjustments. Smkolins ( talk) 13:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Note this also affects Malietoa Tanumafili II. Smkolins ( talk) 13:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply

    You might be right, but I did pick france based on the history section of the main article.

Nominator's rationale: As per naming scheme in Category:Ethnic groups in India Gjs238 ( talk) 17:31, 21 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, hardly any article mentions ethnicity. Some articles may be moved to the category discussed below. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:51, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    Meo is an ethnic group refering to Muslim's belonging to villages from the region, hence it is plausable for the category to be named "Meo people". In terms of the standard Indian language, the correct and more appropriate title is"Mewati people". Ah507 ( talk) 03:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Rename to Category:Meo people. In the spirit of consensus, also support Delete outcome per Marcocapelle as second-best option. In India, caste is often defining for many individuals, especially in a historical context. Article Zakir Hussain (Haryana politician), for instance, consistently links this identification with events in Hussain's biography: He was the first college graduate in the Meo (Muslim) Community... He was responsible for the Meo Community's decision to stay in India at the behest of Mahatma Gandhi [...] instead of going to Pakistan... He was the Chaudhary (Social Head) of Meo (Muslim) Community... So that would certainly be defining for this article, one of the few I looked up. Other articles mention a link to the Political families of Haryana#Shri Rahim Khan Clan of Mewat (presented as "the most prominent out of all of the Meo Muslim Clans of Mewat") but that's not entirely defining in the ethnic sense. So in any case if kept, the category may need to be purged of articles not eligible per WP:EGRS. Place Clichy ( talk) 15:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC) reply
    I think you are unaware of the socio-religious context of the ethnic term "Meo". Meo's are the people who lived under the Khanzada Rulers of Mewat. The term Meo is region specific and religion specific as well. Meo's are considered an ethnicity under the Other Backward Class scheme of the Government of India. (refer to BLOCK B, Number 5), which refers to socially backwards or disadvangated castes (ethnic groups) . In order to be a Meo, one needs to belong to the region and needs to be a Muslim as well, there are no Hindu Ethnic Meos. In the article Zakir Hussain (Haryana politician), the term Meo community is refering to Meos as an ethnic group. In the second article you referenced, Political families of Haryana#Shri Rahim Khan Clan of Mewat, the term "Muslim" is being used as discretional specificity because it is already known that ethnic Meo's are Muslim. Meos are legally recognized as an ethnic group or caste under the schemes of the Indian Government. Ah507 ( talk) 10:17, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Here is another list (refer to Entry No. 67) released by the Government of India referring to Meos as part of the Other Backwards Class scheme. Based on this it would be appropriate to change the name to Category:Meo people. For further clarity:
    - Mewat is a historical region.
    - Meos are an ethnic group or caste that is region specific (to Mewat) and religion specific (to Islam).
    - When the term "Muslim" is attached to the term "Meo", it is done discretionally.
    - Not every inhabitant of the Mewat region is necessarily a Meo. Ah507 ( talk) 10:36, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply
    Also one more thing I want to make clear is that not every Muslim from the region of Mewat is necessarily a Meo. The ethnicity has already been compounded from the previous castes and clans the poeple of this region belonged to, hence, it is impossible for someone from the region who originally belonged to another caste to adopt Islam and then be called a Meo. In short, Meos are indeed a recognized ethnic group and their ethnicity has already been established. Ah507 ( talk) 10:43, 4 October 2023 (UTC) reply

(answered after relisting) Based on these explanations, I still think that renaming to Category:Meo people is the best solution, unless there is a grammatical issue I did not see. I don't think I ever argued that there existed Hindu Meos. Place Clichy ( talk) 21:04, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Support as per Place Clichy. When I originally proposed the merge to "Mewat people" I was considering "Mewat" an ethnicity. Now that we are considering Mewat as an historical region and "Meo" as an ethnicity, renaming the category Meo people seems logical and in accordance with the scheme used in Category:Ethnic groups in India.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Bahá'í Faith in Oceania, Category:Religion in American Samoa, and Category:Religion in Samoa. It was improper to empty the categories, but there were initially only two articles. (non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 15:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Article Baháʼí Faith in the Samoas treats the history of the Baháʼís in both parts of the Samoan archipelago. A user had create the first nominated category, which does not fall under the schemes at Category:Bahá'í Faith by country or Category:Religion by country. I attempted to create two national categories but I was reverted and therefore I ask the opinion of the community. Besides the main article, the only content is Malietoa Tanumafili II, head of state of (independent) Samoa, who was of the Bahá'í faith. Note that content relative to American Samoa is pretty light, even in the main article. My preference would be Option A (per the structure of parent and sibling categories) > Option C (seen the amount of content) > Option B. Place Clichy ( talk) 13:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
  • I'm for option B. From what I've seen while there is distinction of the communities there is also unity between them. However I'm not locally based - just what I've seen in the article's coverage that implies more in common than distinct between the places. Adding them to the schemes of "by country" seems more an option of adjustments. Smkolins ( talk) 13:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
