- Nominator's rationale: alternative name, sole survivors has a disaster connotation. I'm modeling it off of Category:Last known speakers of a language Mason ( talk) 23:34, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Well-spotted and argued. NLeeuw ( talk) 00:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Boxing matches in Las Vegas to Category:Boxing matches in the Las Vegas Valley
- Nominator's rationale: The vast majority of these matches actually took place outside of the Las Vegas city limits. User:Namiba 01:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Alternative: merge to Category:Boxing matches in Nevada since that category is almost empty. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 23:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)- Marcocapelle, would you be opposed to the rename if the category is not merged? — Qwerfjkl talk 12:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fair question. In principle diffusing by Las Vegas Valley does not make a lot of sense because the far majority of human activity in Nevada takes place there. But, considering nominator's rationale, closing this as no consensus is the worst possible outcome. So the answer to the question is no, I would not be opposed.

- Nominator's rationale: Dual merge for now. These categories were all made by the same user for the page Golaghat highway accident, who has been advised to not create duplicate/single page categories. There is no need to have a category with a single page in it. If not merged, the categories should be renamed to "Golaghat district". Mason ( talk) 21:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge or delete. This isn't helpful for navigation to carve out two abbeys that are associated with a saint Mason ( talk) 13:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Purge and merge: purge Sant'Antonio di Ranverso Abbey before merging, as the article does not contain any information about Saint Anthony the Great. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The abbeys and the saint are two different concepts. What's the issue to have different categories? Yann ( talk) 12:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- There shouldn't be two categories as this is largely a matter of WP:SHAREDNAME. It is merely a coincidence that one of the two articles does contain some legendary information about Saint Anthony the Great. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: The only item is child Category:European-American gangs right now, and all of them are groups that were or are active in the United States. This doesn't fit in parents Category:Crime in Europe or Category:Culture of Europe. No doubt there are what you might call "gangs" in Europe, but they are not to be found in this category.

The only difference is the child Category:Culture of the Basque Country, which is mostly focussed on culture in the Basque Country (autonomous community) in Spain, and has virtually nothing to do with the French Basque Country.

- Propose upmerging Category:Regional Spanish culture to Category:Culture of Spain
- Propose purging Category:Spanish-American culture, Category:Spanish-Canadian culture, and Category:Spanish-Caribbean culture
- Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:CROSSCAT. The words "regional" and "Spanish" take up multiple ambiguous meanings, depending on the child category. "Spanish" can mean "Spain", "Spanish nationality", "Spanish diaspora" or "Spanish language", while "regional" can mean "city", "autonomous community", "country" (Spain, Canada and the United States), "continent(s)" (Spanish America) or "archipelago" (Caribbean). This is a mishmash. If anything, we should adhere to the category tree, which is indicated by parent Category:Culture of Spain. Category:Culture by city in Spain and Category:Spanish culture by autonomous community fit in that tree, and shoud be upmerged to this parent. The rest does not, and should be Purged.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 23:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)- Marcocapelle, would you be opposed to the rename if the category is not merged? — Qwerfjkl talk 12:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fair question. In principle diffusing by Las Vegas Valley does not make a lot of sense because the far majority of human activity in Nevada takes place there. But, considering nominator's rationale, closing this as no consensus is the worst possible outcome. So the answer to the question is no, I would not be opposed.

- Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:CROSSCAT. The words "regional" and "Spanish" take up multiple ambiguous meanings, depending on the child category. "Spanish" can mean "Spain", "Spanish nationality", "Spanish diaspora" or "Spanish language", while "regional" can mean "city", "autonomous community", "country" (Spain, Canada and the United States), "continent(s)" (Spanish America) or "archipelago" (Caribbean). This is a mishmash. If anything, we should adhere to the category tree, which is indicated by parent Category:Culture of Spain. Category:Culture by city in Spain and Category:Spanish culture by autonomous community fit in that tree, and shoud be upmerged to this parent. The rest does not, and should be Purged.

- Propose upmerging Category:Riojan music to Category:Music of Spain by autonomous community and Category:Riojan culture
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. The only item is Music of Navarre and La Rioja, which has been an unsourced three-sentence stub since 2005. NLeeuw ( talk) 09:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Women cryptographers by nationality to Category:Women cryptographers
- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note: a British category could be added, incorporating Category:Bletchley Park women. – Fayenatic London 11:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Quite likely that there is potential for it. But as for now it is too early to create the category, because there aren't any British directly in Category:Women cryptographers. Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete ( non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 12:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Two articles only. One of the articles is about an entirely hypothetical motorway as indicated in the entry, the other hypothetical by and beyond the straits. Rename to hypothetical expressways of the People's Republic of China. 121.202.28.169 ( talk) 12:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, the two articles are already in
Category:Proposed roads in Taiwan.

- Delete, I think inclusion in Category:Proposed roads in Taiwan is accurate and sufficient. It's not really accurate to say that a road is "in" a purely notional province. — Mx. Granger ( talk · contribs) 16:07, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, a road doesn't exist in a notional entity. Already covered in an existing category as mentioned, although other parent categories might also apply. CMD ( talk) 07:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Is there any category for notional matters of this country? 58.152.55.172 ( talk) 08:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Matters related to that country which makes the irredentist claims gotta be identified with that country itself. These matters do not belong to the actual location to which they are designated by that country. 58.152.55.172 ( talk) 08:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- The target category you may be looking for would be Cross-strait relations. 46.226.162.228 ( talk) 19:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- The two articles are already in Category:Cross-Strait relations. Marcocapelle ( talk) 17:38, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Convert to categoryredirect.

- Nominator's rationale: Annual serious nomination of inappropriate joke categories on April Fools Day. Fails WP:USERCATNO. No reason for this to need to exist to defer open uprising against consensus since the sole member is long gone. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Annual serious nomination of inappropriate joke categories on April Fools Day. Fails WP:USERCATNO. No reason for this to need to exist to defer open uprising against consensus since one of the members is long gone and the other has not objected to a previous joke category being deleted. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:00, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
