- Support. Accessibility of metro stations tends to change with time, as stations are made accessible. I believe that this topic would be better served by articles listing when and how accessibility was obtained for each station, even those that were from the time of their opening, with the associated efforts and politics ( Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is an example). Also note that connecting stations are sometimes accessible for some lines but not others, making the concept of "accessible station" blurry. Place Clichy ( talk) 18:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support. Accessibility of metro stations tends to change with time, as stations are made accessible. I believe that this topic would be better served by articles listing when and how accessibility was obtained for each station, even those that were from the time of their opening, with the associated efforts and politics ( Accessibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is an example). Also note that connecting stations are sometimes accessible for some lines but not others, making the concept of "accessible station" blurry. Place Clichy ( talk) 18:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Not very helpful to only have one person in here, I think upmerging to the broader category would be more helpful. Mason ( talk) 03:08, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is not the same as a school board.-- User:Namiba 04:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete in the spirit of WP:PERFCAT, people do not have to be categorized by every board they have been a member of. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Kurdish film score composers to Category:Kurdish composers and Category:Film score composers
- Propose merging Category:Kurdish mountain climbers to Category:Kurdish people
- Nominator's rationale: This is an extremely small category that isn't helpful for navigation. Upmerge for now (possibly for a long time as it's arguably not a defining intersection).

- Category:Kurdish mountain climbers should also be merged to Category:Kurdish sportspeople.-- User:Namiba 04:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom and per WP:OCEGRS. Not sure about sportspeople as a merge target (not against it either). Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Mojtaba Mirzadeh is already in Kurdish musicians and Iranian film score composers. Mohammad Oraz is already in Kurdish sportsmen and Iranian mountain climbers. These activities do not seem to be specific to Kurdish ethnicity per WP:EGRS/I, and both ethnicity and occupation are already covered by existing parent categories.
