Nominator's rationale: The parent
Category:Eurasian Wikipedians has been deleted many times going back to a
CfD in 2008, and it would seem the only purpose of this is to act as a container
WP:SMALLCAT for Asian and European-ancestry Wikipedians. Delete and salt.

MER-C 05:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: Most other members of
Category:Engineer regiments just have a simple "country" format, there's only three members of this one so there's no need to distinguish between branches of the Swedish services.
Le Deluge (
talk) 14:10, 18 December 2019 (UTC)reply
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is no argument. The difference is that the US military is much bigger, and so has many more engineering units, such that dividing it by service (debatably) makes sense. But for Sweden we are only categorising a handful of units, there's no need for
WP:OVERCATEGORISATION.
Le Deluge (
talk) 01:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Merge -- I have looked at the one article in the target and it is all about the army. It is unlikely that the Swedish navy or air force would have regiments, let alone engineer regiments. The subject here is a useless category level.

The result of the discussion was:rename.
MER-C 05:54, 26 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: Primary topic.
Calvin College was officially renamed in July, and the relevant pages were renamed as
Calvin University (Michigan). However, the other institution with the same name is more recent and appears to be a lot less notable, so I boldly moved it to
Calvin University (South Korea) and promoted the Michigan one to
Calvin University as
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Several incoming links about research on Nazi Germany and astronomy were for the Michigan one, so they were misleading but are now correct. –

Restructure tree -- The parent seems to cover at least two situations: islands (and perhaps other places) where there are no cars; and pedestrianised city streets, of which there are a lot in
Category:Pedestrian malls. Mall is an Americanism, which I suspect is little used elsewhere and many of the national subcats concern pedestrianised city streets. The equivalent to mall in UK is a shopping centre, normally purpose built and wholly under cover; this is perhaps a third class. Perhaps the category under discussion should be renamed [:Category:Pedestrianised streets in Russia]] and become a subcat of
Category:Pedestrian malls.
