Propose merging Category:Publicly traded companies based in the City of London to Category:Publicly traded companies of the United Kingdom

Nominator's rationale: Nothing in the UK category other than this subcategory. Not sure that "Publicly traded companies" is a useful category at all, but certainly no obvious need for this geographical split. Rathfelder (talk) 15:28, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge both to Category:Companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. This is now the only stock exchange. The category also has the concept of having an HQ in the City of London (of which Canary Wharf is not part), but the location of the HQ of a company operating in many places is not significant.

Fine with that proposal. Rathfelder (talk) 21:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have tagged Category:Publicly traded companies of the United Kingdom as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:31, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Naturalised citizens of Iraq

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. A broader nomination may be advisable to resolve this issue. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 05:25, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Naturalised citizens of Iraq to Category:Naturalized citizens of Iraq

Nominator's rationale: The most recent conqueror and still involved country is the United States, not Britain. This newly created category should have been created with U.S. English, since the English variant in use in Iraq is American English, due to the U.S. military imposing it for the normalized English words found in Iraq for the convenience of the U.S. military. 65.94.42.168 (talk) 09:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tend to oppose as I do not understand why this category has been singled out. It should be part of a discussion to convert all Iraqi categories from British English to American English. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:39, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Timelines

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: split. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 05:26, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose splitting Category:Timelines to Category:Wikipedia timelines and Category:Chronology

Nominator's rationale: The distinction between "Timelines" and "Wikipedia timelines" is unclear, I would suggest to turn Category:Timelines into a disambiguation page, directing to both Category:Chronology and Category:Wikipedia timelines. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:35, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No objection from me. I'm assume the "split" will in effect be a merge to Category:Chronology, followed by disambiguation at the nominated page. Let's also take care of the Wikidata item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18570239 ; most of the other-language Wikipedia categories can be relinked to Category:Wikipedia timelines, but Korean Wikipedia currently has both. I'll look into that. – Fayenatic London 15:25, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 05:23, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Politicians from the District of Columbia to Category:Politicians from Washington, D.C.

Nominator's rationale: All other occupation categories for Washington, D.C. are XXXX from Washington, D.C. not from the District of Columbia. A move would put it in line with the rest. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:01, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
