NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Black blogs
- Category:Black blogs - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: What is this? It was previously (erroneously) subcategorized under Category:American bloggers...? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:38, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Here is the relevant CfD page. I'm the creator, but as the short discussion on the page indicates, there was apparently once a precedent to create this sub-category and include it in larger categories. If that precedent is gone, I don't see why it shouldn't be deleted.
Category:People from Atlanta
- Propose merging Category:People from Atlanta to Category:Wikipedians in Atlanta, Georgia
- Nominator's rationale: Looks like a mistake for Category:People from Atlanta, Georgia, but only page is a user page. LeSnail (talk) 05:55, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Speedy merge/delete/redirect This is obvious. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:41, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Category:Television series set in the ####
- Propose renaming Category: Category:Television series set in the #### to Category:Television set in the ####
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. I know the redlinks from my use of non-existent categories above may make this look a bit strange, but they are in reference to the many period television series categories listed at Category:Period television series, specifically the ones with decade ranges, currently Category:Television series set in the 1900s up through Category:Television series set in the 1980s, with Category:Television shows set in the 2010s breaking the existing naming convention. (And what about the 1990's? Oh, well...) Changing these to "Television" instead of "Television series" would allow for individual episodes (time travel shows, anthology series, TV specials, TV movies, etc.), essentially any Television that is not the entire series, but can and should be included. I've noted that some individual episodes are already listed in some of these categories, so this subtle renaming would serve to clarify what appears to be an existing trend.

Category:Trojan objects
- Propose renaming Category:Trojan objects to Category:Trojan objects (astronomy) or Category:Trojans (astronomy)
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The main article about these objects is Trojan (astronomy). We should rename to either of Category:Trojan objects (astronomy) or Category:Trojans (astronomy) to make it clear what this category is for. It is not for objects related to any of the other stuff called "Trojan". Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Astronomy unclassified categories
- Propose upmerging Category:Unclassified star clusters to Category:Star clusters
- Propose upmerging Category:Unclassified galaxies to Category:Galaxies
- Propose upmerging Category:Unclassified stars to Category:Stars
- Propose upmerging Category:Unclassified astronomical objects to Category:Astronomical objects
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. These categories are not for astronomical objects that are inherently "unclassifiable", they are just categories containing articles that haven't yet been properly categorized in Wikipedia yet. Thus, their contents can just be upmerged to the appropriate parent to await categorization. Another option would be to convert them into hidden categories used solely for administration/editing of WP. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose these are categories that should be for objects that have not been scientifically classified as yet, not for objects that on Wikipedia lack categorization. We can clean up the categories to make it function that way. 70.49.126.147 (talk) 05:42, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
