- The result of the discussion was: do not merge. MER-C 09:38, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Redunancy? Not sure. PPEMES ( talk) 21:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, for example sub Category:Christian music awards is not ecclesiastical. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:47, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose on procedural grounds. The nominator requested speedy renaming of target category to Category:Ecclesiastical awards, after merging without discussion the two eponymous articles. I think the nominator should state their case of what consistent target structure they have in their mind, because I cannot make sense of these separate actions. At first glance, not all Christian awards are decorations, and not all these awards are ecclesiastical. Place Clichy ( talk) 10:53, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Teamsters to Category:International Brotherhood of Teamsters
- Nominator's rationale: The profession of teamster is separate from the trade union that this category is limited to cover. The scope of this category is limited to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters organization and those connected to it. TM 13:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
- Support - This is a no-brainer. I dare say it could be Speedied, since it brings the Category in line with the main article. Anomalous+0 ( talk) 08:07, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete ( non-admin closure). Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:08, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Being the son/daughter of a champion racehorse is not a defining characteristic in and of itself and does not make an article subject any more notable. It is not uncommon for male champion racehorses to have hundreds of foals, if not over 1,000. Also, this category appears to have not been updated in several years. If it were up to date, it would be overly broad to the point where most notable racehorses would be in it, since most sires of notable horses "won at least one really big race." In fact, it would be somewhat difficult to find any notable horses that didn't have a parent that "won at least one really big race." Aspening ( talk) 04:51, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: The category only has one member, Potassium selenocyanate. The category's main article is not an actual article but merely a redirect to Potassium selenocyanate. Selenocyanic acid does not exist either. I think that this category can be deleted due to its small size, with its one member moved to Category:Selenium(−2) compounds.
