For reference, the articles in this category were:
Bogey value,
Coupling (electronics),

Magic smoke,
Passivity (engineering),
Sensitivity (electronics),
Transconductance,

Category:Ukrainian amateur clubs |
rename. (As I merely listed someone else's nomination, I consider myself not barred from closing this. The discussion is unanimous anyway.) – |

|
Category:Vertebrates of Guinea |
merge to
Category:Vertebrates of West Africa. As the latter has sub-cats
Category:Amphibians of West Africa and
Category:Reptiles of West Africa, I attempted to merge the contents to those more specific sub-categories. As it turned out, every page was already in one of those categories. – |

Category:Views on homosexuality |
delete. As it currently contains two articles and a redirect all named "[X]'s views on homosexuality", I will merge them into
Category:Same-sex sexuality; whether they should stay there can be discussed elsewhere. – |

| Words and phrases introduced prior to 1965 |
merge as nominated except for 1900 -> C19. Further work may be needed as we still have
Category:Words and phrases by date of introduction as well as
Category:Neologisms by century, so this nomination creates what appear to be duplicate categories for C19 and C20.
Category:Neologisms also contains "Words coined" by decade from 1900s onwards. – |
