*'''Delete''' - Categories like this should be discouraged. (I've noticed a lot of "Trees of (Mexican state)" categories too, ugh.) Flora/fauna of X should be lists, not categories, unless they're endemic-species-by-nation, in which case a cat is appropriate.

*'''Maintain''' - The purpose of this category (and similar) is to sort fruits whose origin is related to the country. Angola has several fruit whose origins are only Angola and many of them found only in the country. The fact that there are no articles in the desired amount, it's not a reason to delete the category.

Revision as of 19:54, 18 December 2011
December 14
Category:LGBT musicians by nationality
- Propose renaming Category:LGBT musicians by nationality to Category:LGBT musicians by country
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. in line with Category:LGBT comedians by country, Category:LGBT politicians by country, Category:LGBT sportspeople by country, Category:LGBT writers by country. 86.40.97.51 (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose – subcat of Category:Musicians by nationality. It is the 'by country' ones which should be renamed, and their contents should be renamed to use the standard 'fooian' rather than 'from foo'. Occuli (talk) 00:04, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Fruits of Angola
- Category:Fruits of Angola - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. not likely to be further populated, poor demarcation (fruit does not originate from within a political boundary - Fruits of Northern Ireland, Fruits of Andorra anyone???) and does not have any other similar categories to keep it company. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:49, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Delete - Categories like this should be discouraged. (I've noticed a lot of "Trees of (Mexican state)" categories too, ugh.) Flora/fauna of X should be lists, not categories, unless they're endemic-species-by-nation, in which case a cat is appropriate. This isn't. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:04, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
- Maintain - The purpose of this category (and similar) is to sort fruits whose origin is related to the country. Angola has several fruit whose origins are only Angola and many of them found only in the country. The fact that there are no articles in the desired amount, it's not a reason to delete the category.

Albums recorded by city
Category:Internet personalities by country
- Propose renaming Category:Internet personalities by country to Category:Internet personalities by nationality
- Nominator's rationale: This is a category that falls in between tree naming standards. As it currently stands, it fits the tree at Category:Internet by country, but I believe it should follow the naming pattern at Category:People by nationality, which it is also a subcat of, and which appears to be the more "prominent" category. The Bushranger One ping only 17:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:American musicians of Scottish descent
- Propose merging Category:American musicians of Scottish descent to Category:American people of Scottish descent and Category:American musicians of British descent
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. As per rationale in nomination immediately below. Mayumashu (talk) 17:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:American people of Scottish descent only. There is no connection between descent and musicianship. Occuli (talk) 20:24, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Note that this will also leave Category:American people of Scottish descent by occupation empty. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:08, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:American musicians of English descent
- Propose merging Category:American musicians of English descent to Category:American people of English descent and Category:American musicians of British descent (this later one too should eventually be upmerged)
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Too fine a distinction - WP:OC. Category:American people of English descent by occupation is no longer a category tree - this is the only member left of it. Mayumashu (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:American people of English descent only. There is no connection between descent and musicianship. Occuli (talk) 20:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Cruise lines serving les Saintes
- Category:Cruise lines serving les Saintes - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete but listify. This is far too like a performance by performer category. The one cruiseline that I checked had not category for any other place visited. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. We don't categorize cruise lines or airlines by the regions they service. Generally we categorize them by where they are headquartered. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Airports in les Saintes
- Propose merging Category:Airports in les Saintes to Category:Transport in les Saintes
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Single member category with little hop of expansion, which will adequately be included in its parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:41, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Category:Airports in Îles des Saintes. Fits the exemption to WP:SMALLCAT as part of an established category tree, Category:Airports in the Caribbean. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
More former minor league affiliates
- Propose merging Category:Former Los Angeles Dodgers minor league affiliates to Category:Los Angeles Dodgers minor league affiliates
- Propose merging Category:Former Pittsburgh Pirates minor league affiliates to Category:Pittsburgh Pirates minor league affiliates
- Rationalle: These 2 categories seem to have been missed in the previous discussion, but the same reasoning seems to apply. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:48, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Merge -- we do not like "former" categories: much precedent on this. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Television episodes featuring gynoids
- Category:Television episodes featuring gynoids - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. "Features a gynoid" is not a genre. There is a list of fictional gynoids that serves adequately to tie these disparate TV episodes together. 70.226.161.119 (talk) 06:36, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Delete - we should not categorise TV episodes by "featuring", I don't think. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:52, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:2003 Le Mans Series season
- Category:2003 Le Mans Series season - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. There was no Le Mans Series in 2003, only a single one-off race. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 03:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Bamako Capital District
- Category:Bamako Capital District - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is currently redundant to Category:Bamako, since the city and capital district are co-extensive. Bamako Capital District redirects to Bamako. The category contains only Category:Bamako and Bamako. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Category:Maputo City Province
- Category:Maputo City Province - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category is currently redundant to Category:Maputo, since the city and the province are co-extensive. Maputo City Province redirects to Maputo. The category contains only Category:Maputo, Maputo, and the redirect Maputo City Province. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Upmerge to Category:Maputo and soft redirect. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:10, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
