[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:Kingdom of Tonga (1900–1970) judges
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: delete for now, there is currently only one article in the category, which is not helpful for navigation. Merging is not needed, the article is already jn the tree of Category:Tongan judges. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:20th century in Dushanbe
[edit]- Propose merging Category:20th century in Dushanbe to Category:History of Dushanbe
- Propose merging Category:21st century in Dushanbe to Category:History of Dushanbe
- Nominator's rationale: merge for now, redundant category layers, the entire tree only contains 4 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Football clubs in Obala
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Categories newly created for just one thing, in a small town whose "what links here" offers up absolutely nothing else to file in them. As always, we do not need to obsessively funnel everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one thing -- this would be fine if there were four or five football clubs in this town, but is not needed for just one, and the country level is all that's required in the meantime.

Category:Alumni of Vakalo College
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Alumni of Vakalo College to Category:Vakalo College
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one page in here. I'm tempted to just delete given that there isn't a page for Vakalo College Mason (talk) 13:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:History of the Trucial States
[edit]- Propose merging Category:History of the Trucial States to Category:Trucial States
- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer because the parent category is empty except for the eponymous article. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:54, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Jediknight15
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: I am now unblocked, is this category still necessary? Jediknight15 (talk) 07:48, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Modern Chinese historians
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Modern Chinese historians to Category:Chinese historians
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining Mason (talk) 03:41, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, arbitrary cutoff. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:47, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, arbitrary per Marcocopelle. Remsense ‥ 论 07:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs to Category:Multiplayer vehicle operation games
- Nominator's rationale: A very similar category already exists. The desired category for merging is for practically the same thing. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose. As the originator of both categories, "multiplayer vehicle operation games" is actually the category that is more specific.
- here is its specific role :
A category for any video game, arcade game, or board game in which multiple players are able to each operate a different control station or weapon station on the same vehicle at the same time.
,the category for vehicle simulation MOGs is more generic, as it is simply any multiplayer games where players play the game by operating a vehicle, i.e. rather than controlling an in-game persona. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge or reverse merge, the difference is too subtle to keep them apart. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- it is entirely different. in "multiplayer vehicle operation games," you and other players would be at separate stations on the same vehicle. Whereas "Vehicle simulation MOGs" includes any and all games where each player has their own jet fighter, or tank,or other vehicle, and is trying to shoot other players.

Category:ISIL terrorist incidents in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There's only one page in here. Mason (talk) 00:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, the target is equally empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
