- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT: author is redlinked and category is only populated by one article. He doesn't appear to have described many other species, if any, and is retired.

The proposal is to merge to 2nd level administrative division, except cities and larger towns, in this case except Amfissa (7,000 people). This is follow-up on this earlier nomination.

- Propose merging Category:People from Kallieis to Category:People from Phocis
- Nominator's rationale: merge, borderline smallcat (5 articles), but Kallieis is not a populated place in itself, it is a 4th level administrative division consisting of several different villages. As the other 4th level and 3rd level administrative divisions are upmerged to 2nd level (except coinciding cities and bigger towns), merge for consistency.

- The result of the discussion was: merge. Users are free to purge the target category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:17, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Category not offering a very clear or defining distinction from its parent. Literally by definition, a show about journalism has to involve journalists, and a show about journalists has to show them doing journalism, so there's no clear and unambiguous line to be drawn here as to whether a show is "about" journalism or journalists.

- The result of the discussion was: delete. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 05:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The scope of this new category is too vague and ambiguous to be defining. Grand Canyon West has a specific meaning, which is much narrower than this category seems to be. It refers to an area of the Hualapai Tribal Lands outside the National Park, as explained here. "Grand Canyon, West region" does not seem to have any officially defined meaning, and if it did, it would presumably merit an article. Mhockey ( talk) 13:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Laurel Lodged (
talk) 11:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - It is the "Anglican Diocese of The Murray" with a capital "T" ( see here) and the bishop's title is the same. (NB this is unlike Anglican Diocese of Riverina where there is no "the" (even though the Australian geographic area is "the Riverina"), and Anglican Diocese of the Northern Territory (which is spelt with a lowercase "t"). Deus et lex ( talk) 22:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Laurel Lodged has a fair point about deletion of Category:Bishops of Australia. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The capitalisation is generally correct, becasue the title is "Bishop of Gippsland", not "bishop of Gippsland". Anglican is in the nature of a disambiguator. However perhaps the categories should just be
Category:Bishops of Gippsland, unless there is a Catholic or other bishop using the same title. However
Category:Anglican bishops in Australia or
Category:Bishops of the Church of Australia would be better in that case.
Peterkingiron (
talk) 17:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - at the moment the categories are all over the place - some are lowercase, some are uppercase, and some (like "The Murray") don't mention they are Anglican. I would prefer consistency all round but I don't particularly care either way. If the consensus is to retain capitalisation then I'll be nominating the rest of the bishop categories to be fixed.
Deus et lex (
talk) 22:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Note prompted by this capitalisation discussion, I have boldly renamed many of the dioceses in the
Anglican Church of Australia to "Diocese of Foo (Anglican Church of Australia)" which I think is clearer as well as being a possible model for the bishops.
Laurel Lodged (
talk) 18:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - this needs to be discussed before doing that (I've moved them back). The current wording is simpler, and is in common usage anyway in most of the dioceses (and the pages have retained that wording for quite some time too). This discussion is about the bishop categories, not the diocesan page names. Deus et lex ( talk) 19:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

- Rename per nom. -- Just N. ( talk) 15:59, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The title is "Bishop of [Foo]" (see, eg, Bishop of Tasmania), and "Anglican" is merely a disambiguator, because there are many similar Roman Catholic "Bishop [or Archbishop] of [Foo] [or similar]" titles as well. The categories named "Category:Anglican bishops of [Foo]" should therefore be renamed as "Category:Anglican Bishops of [Foo]". Bahnfrend ( talk) 09:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reply articles are singular, categories are plural. See
Category:Roman Catholic bishops by diocese in the Republic of Ireland as an example of the tree structure.
Laurel Lodged (
talk) 10:40, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- We have had discussions about capitalization before and this is what I recall about it, for what it is worth. While Bishop of Foo is a title, we are categorizing people holding that title. Anglican Bishops of Foo would imply multiple titles, while Anglican bishops of Foo is multiple people. Bishop is merely a descriptor in the latter case, not a title.

- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: merge. The current common practice seems to be that assistant bishops are placed in the related bishops category. Discussions could be held elsewhere if users want to change this. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:11, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only one. All other assistant bishops seem to be in the same category as the substantial bishops. Rathfelder ( talk) 11:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - including an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro in a category for "Bishops of Mount Kilimanjaro" is incorrect, the "Bishop of Mount Kilimanjaro" is the leader of the diocese, the other is an assistant bishop appointed within the diocese. I don't oppose a merging of the category to "Anglican bishops in Tanzania" which retains accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 12:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've just found
Category:Anglican assistant bishops by diocese in Australia. I dont think there are any other categories for assistants, and many bishop categories include assistants.
Rathfelder (
talk) 12:26, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- The Australian categories exist because most of the Australian dioceses (particularly the metropolitan ones) have large numbers of assistant bishops, and you couldn't merge the assistant bishops into the metropolitan dioceses because their bishops are called Archbishop, and that would be incorrect. Deus et lex ( talk) 23:09, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support - there are a few more here and there. Clearly the person in question (who is referred to as 'Bishop') is notable as someone in Mount Kilimanjaro and should be in a 'people' set category, not a topic 'Diocese' category. One could put 'bishops and assistant bishops'. I agree with Rathfelder that assistant bishops usually just go in the 'bishops' category. Oculi ( talk) 12:43, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Putting the assistant bishops and bishops category together is incorrect. In England most of the assistant (suffragan) bishops have titles which enables them to be distinguished from the diocesan bishop, in other countries they don't (but this doesn't mean you can just combine them together). One is a title, the other is not. Please go and learn how the Anglican Communion works before making suggestions like this. I would support Marcocapelle's suggestion below for an alternative merge to "Anglican bishops in Tanzania", at least that would retain accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 22:44, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Merge somehow per WP:SMALLCAT (possibly alt merge to Category:People from Kilimanjaro Region and Category:Anglican bishops in Tanzania but I do not oppose the nomination). Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Merge an assistant bishop is a bishop in Anglican church law. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 01:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Did you read the comment above - they are both bishops, but the "Bishop of Mount Kilimanjaro" and an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro are different things, and it is factually incorrect to merge the two. Merging the category to Anglican bishops in Tanzania is much better for accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 02:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

- When foreign royalty and other important guests visited the German Grand Duchy of Hesse or vice versa, the Order of Philip the Magnanimous was given out as souvenir. Alexander II of Russia, Kamehameha V of Hawaii, and Edward VII are not remotely defined by this award. Relations between the inter-married royal houses of Europe was likely also a factor.
- Some Hessian nobility also received the award like Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse, Prince Frederick William of Hesse-Kassel, and Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse but those articles are already somewhere under Category:House of Hesse.

Laurel Lodged (
talk) 11:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - It is the "Anglican Diocese of The Murray" with a capital "T" ( see here) and the bishop's title is the same. (NB this is unlike Anglican Diocese of Riverina where there is no "the" (even though the Australian geographic area is "the Riverina"), and Anglican Diocese of the Northern Territory (which is spelt with a lowercase "t"). Deus et lex ( talk) 22:39, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Laurel Lodged has a fair point about deletion of Category:Bishops of Australia. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The capitalisation is generally correct, becasue the title is "Bishop of Gippsland", not "bishop of Gippsland". Anglican is in the nature of a disambiguator. However perhaps the categories should just be
Category:Bishops of Gippsland, unless there is a Catholic or other bishop using the same title. However
Category:Anglican bishops in Australia or
Category:Bishops of the Church of Australia would be better in that case.
Peterkingiron (

- Comment - at the moment the categories are all over the place - some are lowercase, some are uppercase, and some (like "The Murray") don't mention they are Anglican. I would prefer consistency all round but I don't particularly care either way. If the consensus is to retain capitalisation then I'll be nominating the rest of the bishop categories to be fixed.
Deus et lex (

- Note prompted by this capitalisation discussion, I have boldly renamed many of the dioceses in the

Laurel Lodged (

- Comment - this needs to be discussed before doing that (I've moved them back). The current wording is simpler, and is in common usage anyway in most of the dioceses (and the pages have retained that wording for quite some time too).

- Oppose The title is "Bishop of [Foo]" (see, eg, Bishop of Tasmania), and "Anglican" is merely a disambiguator, because there are many similar Roman Catholic "Bishop [or Archbishop] of [Foo] [or similar]" titles as well. The categories named "Category:Anglican bishops of [Foo]" should therefore be renamed as "Category:Anglican Bishops of [Foo]". Bahnfrend ( talk) 09:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Laurel Lodged (

- We have had discussions about capitalization before and this is what I recall about it, for what it is worth. While Bishop of Foo is a title, we are categorizing people holding that title. Anglican Bishops of Foo would imply multiple titles, while Anglican bishops of Foo is multiple people. Bishop is merely a descriptor in the latter case, not a title.

- The result of the discussion was: merge. The current common practice seems to be that assistant bishops are placed in the related bishops category. Discussions could be held elsewhere if users want to change this. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:11, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only one. All other assistant bishops seem to be in the same category as the substantial bishops. Rathfelder ( talk) 11:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose - including an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro in a category for "Bishops of Mount Kilimanjaro" is incorrect, the "Bishop of Mount Kilimanjaro" is the leader of the diocese, the other is an assistant bishop appointed within the diocese. I don't oppose a merging of the category to "Anglican bishops in Tanzania" which retains accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 12:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've just found
Category:Anglican assistant bishops by diocese in Australia. I dont think there are any other categories for assistants, and many bishop categories include assistants.
Rathfelder (
talk) 12:26, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- The Australian categories exist because most of the Australian dioceses (particularly the metropolitan ones) have large numbers of assistant bishops, and you couldn't merge the assistant bishops into the metropolitan dioceses because their bishops are called Archbishop, and that would be incorrect. Deus et lex ( talk) 23:09, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support - there are a few more here and there. Clearly the person in question (who is referred to as 'Bishop') is notable as someone in Mount Kilimanjaro and should be in a 'people' set category, not a topic 'Diocese' category. One could put 'bishops and assistant bishops'. I agree with Rathfelder that assistant bishops usually just go in the 'bishops' category. Oculi ( talk) 12:43, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - Putting the assistant bishops and bishops category together is incorrect. In England most of the assistant (suffragan) bishops have titles which enables them to be distinguished from the diocesan bishop, in other countries they don't (but this doesn't mean you can just combine them together). One is a title, the other is not. Please go and learn how the Anglican Communion works before making suggestions like this. I would support Marcocapelle's suggestion below for an alternative merge to "Anglican bishops in Tanzania", at least that would retain accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 22:44, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Merge somehow per WP:SMALLCAT (possibly alt merge to Category:People from Kilimanjaro Region and Category:Anglican bishops in Tanzania but I do not oppose the nomination). Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:47, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Merge an assistant bishop is a bishop in Anglican church law. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 01:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Did you read the comment above - they are both bishops, but the "Bishop of Mount Kilimanjaro" and an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro are different things, and it is factually incorrect to merge the two. Merging the category to Anglican bishops in Tanzania is much better for accuracy. Deus et lex ( talk) 02:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Philip the Magnanimous
- Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD, WP:PERFCAT & WP:OVERLAPCAT)
- When foreign royalty and other important guests visited the German Grand Duchy of Hesse or vice versa, the Order of Philip the Magnanimous was given out as souvenir. Alexander II of Russia, Kamehameha V of Hawaii, and Edward VII are not remotely defined by this award. Relations between the inter-married royal houses of Europe was likely also a factor.
- Some Hessian nobility also received the award like Ernest Louis, Grand Duke of Hesse, Prince Frederick William of Hesse-Kassel, and Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse but those articles are already somewhere under Category:House of Hesse. Both groups tend to mention this award in passing with other honours. There wasn't a list so I created a one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:17, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Abandoned amusement parks to Category:Defunct amusement parks
- Nominator's rationale: There does not appear to be a clear difference between "abandoned" and "defunct". At this point, it is just a duplicate category and would benefit from being merged together. Astros4477 ( Talk) 01:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
