Nominator's rationale: According to drongos, a drongo is any bird in the family Dicruridae. So the two categories are identical. The bigger category is Category:DrongosNovem Linguae (talk) 13:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These are both categories for the taxonomic family Anguidae. Category:Anguidae is newer and smaller than Category:Anguids, so I suggest merging to the latter. –Novem Linguae (talk) 12:26, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 10:06, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, these categories only contain redirects and the real articles to which they link are already together in a category. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion, @SecretName101 and Johnpacklambert: pinging contributors to that discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete We do not need to group redirects when the target articles are adequately grouped.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I would argue that target articles are not “adequately grouped” in any way which indicates that they contain content explicitly pertaining to state-level treasurer elections. This categorization helps users easily locate content on this project pertaining to treasurer elections for these particular states. Additionally, many of these redirects are easily able to be expanded upon and spun into independent articles. WITHOUT these cats, it could take anyone great time (searching through 50 states year by year) to determine which states have such non spun-off content pertaining to individual state treasurer races and for which years. The removal of this category, therefore, would negatively impact the navigability of this project. SecretName101 (talk) 18:24, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a difference between categories explicitly limited only to contain redirects, and one which currently only contains redirects, but can contain articles in the future as redirects are spun into articles or new articles are created under the category. Very very different. None of these cats being discussed are explicitly redirect-only. Many of them may contain articles in the near-future even. SecretName101 (talk) 20:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep these are useful for category tree consistency; and many of these redirects could be expanded into valid articles in the future. Deletion has no benefits here while keeping the categories does. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:53, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:USERCAT. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (Category creator) how does it fail WP:USERCAT? Is it because i'm the only one in it? For sure after time there will be a few other people in the category. Lallint⟫⟫⟫Talk 19:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It has nothing to do with the number of members. It has do to with not ha[ving] the capacity to facilitate coordination and collaboration between users for the improvement of the encyclopedia, on the grounds that creating a start-class article requires too little skill to be a useful basis for collaboration. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:58, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
