December 8
Category:Malaysian obstetricians
- Nominator's rationale: Complete overlap Rathfelder (talk) 20:27, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose – Rathfelder should refer us to the fate of previous similar proposals such as this one, which was a keep. It doesn't matter that there is an overlap. Category:Obstetricians and Category:Gynaecologists are separate trees and there is no tree Category:Obstetricians and gynaecologists to be subcatted by nationality. Oculi (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support, I see two categories with exactly the same contents and I haven't seen any counter evidence that in Malaysia these are consistently separate occupations. Note, the previous nomination was closed as keep because there seems to be a clearer distinction in the United States, but that doesn't have to apply to all countries.

Category:Malaysian gynaecologists
- Nominator's rationale: Complete overlap. All the articles are about obs/gyn Rathfelder (talk) 20:26, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose – see above. It would be nice if Rathfelder could learn how to combine similar noms. Oculi (talk) 22:03, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Category:Fictional countries in the future
- Propose renaming Category:Fictional countries in the future to Category:Fictional future countries
- Nominator's rationale: More concise title that makes more grammatical sense. The current title could also refer to the (in-universe) future of "modern" fictional countries. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support. As the user who erroneously nominated this category for deletion, I’d like to note that “the future” refers to our future, not the future with respect to the work. Since the former is dynamic and the latter is fixed, it would allow us to keep Nations of Nineteen Eighty-Four (written in 1949, set in 1984, now 2017). 165.91.12.221 (talk) 03:57, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
Years and decades in Bavaria (up to 1800)
- Propose merging Category:1503 in Bavaria to Category:1503 in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th century in Bavaria
- Propose merging Category:1504 in Bavaria to Category:1504 in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th century in Bavaria
- Propose merging Category:1505 in Bavaria to Category:1505 in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th century in Bavaria
- Propose merging Category:1523 establishments in Bavaria to Category:1523 establishments in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th-century establishments in Bavaria
- Propose merging Category:1527 in Bavaria to Category:1527 in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th century in Bavaria
- Propose merging Category:1541 in Bavaria to Category:1541 in the Holy Roman Empire and Category:16th century in Bavaria
- Nominator's rationale: merge/delete per WP:SMALLCAT, these are mostly one-article categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:30, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Category:Oceans in fiction
- Propose renaming Category:Oceans in fiction to Category:Oceans and seas in fiction
- Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, it contains a mix of oceans and seas subcats. It does not seem very useful to split the category in order to keep seas in fiction separate. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Move per nom. Inter&anthro (talk) 18:06, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support per nom.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
