Rename to
Category:Russian diaspora in Australia. Adjectives in category names are ambiguous and a weird syntax. It is common practice to move the Fooian Barian topic categories to Fooian diaspora in Bar or Fooian-Barian society. @

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

Nominator's rationale: Use of the terms
yacht and
regatta (redirected to
boat racing, see below) are varying and therefore hard to categorise. The two categories get all kinds of sailing competitions that would fit into their parent category.
Merge Not sure if this is
WP:ENGVAR or just different club marketing, but it should be in one category. -

One is a person and the other is a company they are not the same thing and these should not be merged. Yachty4000
Merge I think it's OK if "designer" could either mean a person or a firm. In practice, it might be hard to distinguish anyway since any current designer would have a corporate entity set up and most of the firms are founded/lead by a single person. (If kept, "design firm" would be clearer than "design office".) -

Nominator's rationale: The
470 World Championships men and women events have, since a women’s event was added in 1985 until both being replaced by a mixed event in 2022, been held together. Other articles, if existing, e.g. the
2017 470 World Championships, deals with the two events together, with the two articles of this category coming from the times the championship has been included in a bigger event, the
Sailing World Championships. This has happened another three times (currently without articles).
