Nominator's rationale: Per WP:EPON and WP:SMALLCAT "Eponymous categories should not be created unless enough directly-related articles or sub-categories exist." User:Namiba 19:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prater (Leopoldstadt, Vienna)[edit]

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: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need for disambiguation given that the corresponding article is at Prater. I guess this could be a speedy nomination but I also wonder whether the category is really needed. One of the articles (Trabrennbahn Krieau) is about a horse racing track that's adjacent to but not part of Prater. So that really leaves two articles beyond the main one, a relatively small category. Pichpich (talk) 19:07, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to the rename from me. While I wrote that the race track is adjacent to the Prater, it's often described as being part of it. It's a bit confusing because the Prater has shrunk over time due to development. The land occupied by the race track used to be part of the Prater. I would suggest not removing that article from the category. Re: size of the category, English Wikipedia is just missing articles for a lot of subjects. See the German category: de:Kategorie:Wiener_Prater. andkore 23:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, let's keep the category. I still believe in the renaming. Pichpich (talk) 00:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support renaming. Mason (talk) 01:44, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only remaning member of 11th-century isn't actually a farmer, but is a landowner: Eadric the Wild. These categories gave same situation as Danish farmers [1] Mason (talk) 18:40, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Over-categorization: 1-article category Gjs238 (talk) 10:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:University of Ghana buildings and structures. I count 5 buildings or structures in Category:University of Ghana.--User:Namiba 14:54, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with that. It would fit well into Category:Buildings and structures by university or college. With 6 articles it would hardly be the smallest category. Gjs238 (talk) 13:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:43, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category seems entirely unnecessary. There are only three tornado outbreaks in this category, and all of them can be found just by searching for 'Palm Sunday tornado'. It makes as much sense as a category for tornadoes on Easter Day, or on Memorial Day, or any other random day. Colonies Chris (talk) 10:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename and purge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:47, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename and purge, most articles are executions by the Mughal Empire, the exceptions may be moved to Category:18th-century executions and Category:17th-century executions respectively. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:43, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, this is a sibling of Category:European cardinals i.e. by continent, and the convention is to split the Americas by a North America and South America continent. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:21, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anti-Korean propaganda[edit]

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: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry currently (I did remove one because it was an unsourced claim). This user created the cat, but they're now blocked. They were also infamous for using categories to express political views. I think at present the category's not very useful; explicit anti-Korean sentiment in media in Japan is fairly rare in my experience, and I edit a lot on this topic. Also, the term "propaganda" I think should fall under MOS:LABEL; we'd need to see reliable third parties explicitly characterizing things as propaganda, but I almost never see that. toobigtokale (talk) 02:00, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary/over-categorization, 1-article category.

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 12:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think this category's goal is to make the expatriate categories of the respective countries manageable. I think we should rename the category to reflect that. Mason (talk) 00:35, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Although as I look at the categories... maybe that's not the goal. 🤷 Mason (talk) 00:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
