Reason: underpopulated former country category where regime isn't defining. the only person it the category is described as Italian, not as someone from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
Reason: I propose broadening the scope of this category as right now there is no Russian pharmacist category, and the current category doesn't need to intersect with regime
Reason: Either delete or containerize as dying somewhere in the British Empire is not defining (as opposed to dying in a specific place within the Empire might be)
Reason: Overlapping category, merge in principle, but I've already added each person to their specific vocation (such as Botanists active in India, Indian agronomists). the parent category "Researchers in India" was merged into Indian scientists.
Reason: rename to make it clearer that people in the category are Australian nationals. (alternatively this could be merged to Australian people by occupation)
Reason: I think that this category is supposed to be the British version of "Category:German personnel of the Continental Army". The current name is not good/clear.... I am extremely interested in alternative name suggestions.
Reason: Ok, so I'm updating this category to reflect that the people in it need to be remerged. The page creator is only now contesting it's deletion...
Reason: I think that the intersection for gender and state isn't defining for librarians, but I think that we can shift the scope of the category. There isn't a category:Librarians from Kentucky category (but there is one for category:Librarians from West Virginia). (I've already added the two members to the American women librarians category)
Reason: I'm not convinced that this intersection is defining/ok. I don't see any other categories like this, where the murder is defined by the political orientation of the killer. All the other examples in that category is based on specific organzations.
Reason: merge per overlapping. Weimar Republic "was a historical period of Germany from 9 November 1918 to 23 March 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic" aka a different regime, but not a different country.
Reason: small category, non-defining category. that's intersecting political regime and type of writing. I think we should rename it (and broaden the scope) or upmerge to People from the Roman Empire and Hymnwriters )
Reason: parent is Competitors in athletics by populated place and only true sibling is Track and field athletes by populated place in the United States
Reason: small underpopulated category, that I don't think is defining at the intersection. either merge to parent category or (if keep, rename to Philanthropists from Neuchâtel)
Reason: populated place, not place. see recent consensus here Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_4#Category:American_people_by_city_and_occupation
Reason: parent is American people by occupation and populated place. see recent consensus here Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_4#Category:American_people_by_city_and_occupation
Reason: Upmerge as there's only one page in here. John Speed map of Canaan describes the "Land of Israel", the fact that Phoenicia is on the map isn't really a defining feature.
Reason: Per trivial cat, we don't categorize deaths by place "Also avoid categorizing people by information associated with a person's death, such as the age at which the person died, the place of the person's death, or by whether the person still had unreleased or unpublished work at the time of their death."
Reason: I don't think that this intersection is helpful for era of immigration, and just serves to lose information by removing people from the category where they emigrated from (fooian emigrant to cuba)
Reason: populated place, not place. see recent consensus here Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_4#Category:American_people_by_city_and_occupation
Reason: Rename to match "Archaeologists by region of study". The description of the category is "Academics studying the archaeology of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)"
Reason: C2C was opposed because the main page name is Black slave owners in the United States. It think we should rename it to reflect that slaveowner categories use nationality, not country
Reason: Right now this category doesn't help navigation (with only one category in it). Notably, there isn't a main category category: Jewish businesspeople, so I think we should repurpose this small category and reparent it. Then we can add in category:Jewish bankers
Reason: I think we should just upmerge this category as there are only three categories total that contain nationality specific 20th-century assassinated politicians.
Reason: Upmerge (for now) this underpopulated category to French expatriates in Chad, there's not a French Chad category. and the only person in the category is already in a colonial category.
Reason: overlapping category. it's not helpful to have two separate categories in the same century. The norm is for the 20th-century category to say "Russia" not empire
Reason: overlapping category. it's not helpful to have two separate categories in the same century. The norm is for the 20th-century category to say "Russia" not empire
Reason: Dual merge because the intersection is not defining ( same as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_5#Category:Kentucky_women_aviators )
Reason: Dual merge because the intersection is not defining ( same as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_5#Category:Kentucky_women_aviators )

Reason: merge because the intersection is not defining ( same as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_5#Category:Kentucky_women_aviators )
Reason: Upmerge to parent category, as @Omnis Scientia: noted when they emptied/tagged the category for deletion it out of process[4]. This category "only contained one category. removed that category which is present in two more relevant ones". I agree with their reasoning, but would like to show how this should be done.
Reason: Only two categories in here, which is not super helpful for navigation. There's not a parent category for Education fraud, so I think that this category should be repurposed
Reason: This category isn't for activists who are Palestinian, instead it's for activists on behalf of Palestinian solidarity, regardless of nationality. I model the rename off of similar categories Category: Activists for African-American civil rights etc.
Reason: Delete per consensus on the 21st century version Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_13#Category:21st-century_activists "Not a good idea to categorise activists, not by issue but by century. Different sorts of activists dont have much in common. May even be opposed to each other. And the term activist is modern. Very few people are described as activists before the twentieth century"
Reason: Delete per consensus on the 21st century version Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_13#Category:21st-century_activists "Not a good idea to categorise activists, not by issue but by century. Different sorts of activists dont have much in common. May even be opposed to each other. And the term activist is modern. Very few people are described as activists before the twentieth century"
Reason: Either merge to parent category OR if kept rename to Roman Catholic missionaries in British North America. This is an underpopulated category that is too narrow because BNA doesn't exist until 1783. Per the parent category description "British North America (1783–1907) — the colonies and territories of the British Empire remaining in continental North America after the end of the American Revolutionary War for independence in 1783."
Reason: CDC: parent is Disability organizations, and description of category is "This category includes summer camps serving children with disabilities". "special needs" is a euphemism (per MOS:EUPHEMISM)
Reason: Dual merge to Albanian sports coaches and 21st-century Albanian sportspeople. Sports coaches aren't diffused by century, and even if they were there's not enough coaches to justify diffusion
Reason: Dual merge to Albanian sports coaches and 20th-century Albanian sportspeople. Sports coaches aren't diffused by century, and even if they were there's not enough coaches to justify diffusion
Reason: I think that this category should be repurposed as right now there's no parent category for Purssian educators and there's only one person in the category.
Reason: I really don't know what to do with this underpopulated category that is also very vaguely defined. Like what is a concept? I looked at the concepts in my own area of expertise (Category:Genetics concepts) to help myself get a better handle on what its supposed to mean, and I couldn't divine a theme as the choices in that one seemed pretty arbitrary. So I suspect that this entire tree has similar issues in arbtrariness/non-definingness.
Reason: Dual merge to Immigrants to Angola and People from Portuguese Angola. This is a small underpopulated category that's not helpful for navigation.
Reason: The intersection between regime and type of death is not defining. I think we should rename this to be the broader category of Tuberculosis deaths in Alegeria as it is the kind of death that is notable, not the location of it.
Reason: Dual merge to Immigrants to Mozambique and People from Portuguese Mozambique. This is a small underpopulated category that's not helpful for navigation
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Politicians who died by suicide by nationality and per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 28#Category:Ancient people who committed suicide
Reason: Underpopulated category that's not helpful for navigation. I think that this is supposed to describe spanish people from the Philippines when it was colonized by the spanish. However, it doesn't map cleanly on to the broader Spanish East Indies or the narrower Captaincy General of the Philippines
Reason: I think that this category should be renamed to match other overarching categories. Here's the category description: "This is an overarching category covering books and texts over thousands of years, so it is suggested that all individual titles should go into one of the sub-categories such as 'Hatha yoga texts'. If a suitable subcategory does not exist for a book it should be created and the book placed in it, the category to be added here."
Reason: We don't categorize by "transcontinental Eurasia". THe continents are not very helpful in general, but this in particular is especially unhelpful
Reason: Not a helpful distinction for immigration, this BNA describes a bundle of territories that were still british after 1782, but it isn't defining in and of itself. If kept, it should be a container category
Reason: Dual merge. I don't think that the intersection between century, nationality, and artistic movement is defining. If kept, it should be renamed Australian modern painters
Reason: Only person in this category is described as "a 13th-century West African Soninke karamogo (scholar)", and last time I checked... the 15th century and 13th century were not the same...
Reason: Dual merge. No need to diffuse by place of disappearance. This is the only category of Disappeared journalists and is the only contents of Enforced disappearances in Mexico
Reason: Upmerge because this category is not helpful for several reasons: it assumes that american newspapers are founded by americans, not always true; there are only 5 :by newspaper: categories total, so this is unhelpful for navigation.
Reason: Suggest rename modeled off of Category:Women's interest channels. I was very confused by the purpose of the category when I first saw it. I thought that this was websites owned by women.
Reason: I don't know what to name this category, but... I'm pretty sure that "Languages of the Pygmies" isn't right given the main article is Classification of Pygmy languages
Reason: I don't think that this intersection is defining. There is a page on Louisiana literature, but after looking through the people in the category only Barry Jean Ancelet was described in the lead as "Cajun" writing professional.
Reason: Upmerge as the only page in here isn't really about the history of stamps. Also if kept, it needs to be renamed to Philately of the Czech Republic
Reason: Only member of the category wasn't killed because they were a journalist. They happened to be a journalist who was murdered in the armerian genocide
Reason: No need to diffuse Anti-vaccination activist deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic by nationality. There are less than 20 pages in the entire activist deaths tree.
Reason: Either this category needs to be renamed per Aciram's insistence that all Egyptian concubines are Slave concubines or the categories should be removed to reflect that this is an intersection between occupation and nationality
Reason: siblings in Members of former territorial legislatures of the United States are all Members of the FOO Territorial Legislature. Northwest_Territory#General_Assembly
Reason: Overlapping categories. If kept it needs to be renamed to make it clearer that these are distinct. The category page includes the following description. "This category is for vegetation communities and types that occur in Australia, such as mallee and mulga. For individual plant taxa, see Category:Flora of Australia"
Reason: Upmerge for now. This category is not helpful for navigation when there is only one category in it. Only category is already in the proper merge target (14th century in Europe)
Reason: Upmerge for now. This category is not helpful for navigation when there is only one category in it. Only category is already in the proper merge target (11th century in Europe)
Reason: There isn't a category called Establishments in the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, this one should be renamed because this republic lasted less than a century
Reason: Dual merge. There's only one steel company in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. If kept, should be broadened to Companies of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic
Reason: Rename to make it clearer that this category is for scholars of English literature rather than english people who are scholars of literature. Alternative rename would be Category:Scholars of English literature, modeled off of Category:Scholars of French literature. If this rename gets traction, I'm happy to make noms for the other scholar literature categories
Reason: Empty Category associated with a now deleted page Team Handball League. The deletion note explains that "While there were several hits for the generic term, team handball league, I couldn't find a single reference for this particular league"
Reason: Not a helpful distinction. When I made it, I didn't really think through the fact that every other page (than the single child category) was called military leader
Reason: I think we should repurpose this category to not exclude women, as I don't think that the intersection between gender, ethnicity, and occupation is practularlly helpful here.
Reason: This is an unhelpful category that encourages individuals being removed from their defining FOOian medical doctor category. This is not defining as people are not described as medical doctors from British North America
Reason: Only two categories in here which isn't helpful for navigation. I'm not sure how to handle the intersection between ethnicity, nationality, and occupation in the underpopulated subcategories.
Reason: This page has been sourceless since 2011. I was able to add a dubious citation, but most of the information seems to be from this wikipedia page.
Reason: Upmerge/rename. this category right now only has one category in it which isn't helpful for navigation. Rename this category as there isn't a Cambodian people by location category
Reason: Upmerge for now. This is the only category in the People by municipality in Bulgaria tree. And it only has 1 page in it, which is unhelpful for navigation
Reason: Overlapping/non-defining category. These are all school-related things, but it's unclear to me how they really differ. Full disclosure, this category was original just in Category:educational buildings, but it contained lots of non-buildings, so I moved it up a level.
Reason: Unhelpful to have this category with only two familty members it in. This family is primarily notable for having a male marry into Grimaldi line, and letting the Grimaldi name continue (If I'm reading Charles Auguste de Goyon, Count of Gacé correctly)
Reason: Only one page in here, which is unhelpful for navigation. The lone page is already in the potential target category Category:Odia language, so delete instead of upmerge for now.
Reason: We really don't need to diffuse at the intersection of decade, nationality, occupation, and manner of death. I have said that I preferred diffusing by nationality than continent, using this page as an example. However, I don't think we should be diffusing by continent at all. And what I meant was that IF the choice was between continent and nationality (and I had to pick one)
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's only one person in here, which is unhelpful for navigation. The missionary is already in a more specific category Category:Immigrants to the Province of Canada
Reason: I'm not really sure what to do with this category. The category is described as "These princes started a rebellion during the reign of a relative in order to seize the throne for themselves. They should be distinguished from rival princes who waged a war of succession when the ruler had recently died (or was otherwise incapacitated such as being deposed, imprisoned, expelled, fallen seriously ill etc.) and no other ruler had consolidated their reign yet. See also Category:Heirs apparent who never acceded and Category:Usurpers." However this seems hard to define. If it is keep, it should be renamed to "Rebel princes" as otherwise it sounds like a personality trait rather than someone who was a rebel (modeled off of Category:Rebel slaves
Reason: Duel merge there isn't a main category for mill owners, and I don't think we really need to make the distinction of where the owned mill is located
Reason: None of the people in this category are actually travelers, they're all explorers. So I think that the category should be renamed/reparented. (most of the traveler categories are poorly populated)
Reason: I'm not sure that this intersection of type of crime, gender, and age is a notable intersection. I'm on the fence, and figured it was worth bringing to CFD to get some opinions
Reason: I don't think we need to diffuse by german vs west german. The intersection of nationality is only there to help diffusion, and I don't think we really need to diffuse by when/where in germany they died by suicide
Reason: Upmerge for now. It's unhelpful for navigation to have two cities tucked away from the parent category. If kept, it should be renamed to "by location" or "by city"
Reason: Upmerge as I'm not sure that we should be distinguishing at the intersection of gender, nationality and type of crime. This does not seem in the keeping of WP:EGRS. If kept, this category should be non-diffusing
Reason: Dual merge for now. This category is underpopulated, and should be upmerged, as right now it doesn't help navigation to have only one person in here
Reason: It is extremely unclear to me how to diffuse artists by culture. Some of these are religion, region, and ethnicity. We don't have a People by culture category.
Reason: I don't think that the intersection of language and gender and occupation is defining. (Single merge because all three women are also in the irish women singers categories)
Reason: There's no need to narrow this category to only European scribes. The sibling category, "Category:Ancient scribes" doesn't constrain themselves to a single continent.
Reason: Upmerge for now. There are only two categories in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. I'm also skeptical as to whether we really need to diffuse by nationality at all.
Reason: Dual upmerge for now. There's not enough occupations in here to justify a subcategory. It's not helpful for navigation to have only one category in here.
Reason: Merge. Does not seem to be a defining feature for the only page member. Also worth noting that there is no equivalent category for "Count of Ribagorza"
Reason: Non-defining. This category "lists the Countess consorts of the County of Barcelona, for the regnant Countess of Barcelona see: Category:Counts of Barcelona."
Reason: Upmerge (for now?). This category isn't helpful for navigation as there are only two people in here, and I don't think we really need to diffuse ethnicity by century for this category.
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation. The only "occupation" in here isn't actually about people from that ethnic group, but is for actors in "Meitei cinema".
Reason: Delete for now. Only member of the category is politicians from a political group Justice Social Democratic Party, secularism isn't mentioned on the page of the group or on the single member of the page.
Reason: Overlapping categories. (Probably good to do a reverse merge and then rename given this page has a much longer history) slaves from this location are only defining because Mount Vernon is associated with george washington
Reason: Duplicate category. If the decision is to keep the "educators" name, then we should merge and then rename, given that the other category is a decade older
Reason: Upmerge. Unhelpful for navigation to isolate these two categories. If kept, it should be renamed to Criminals by gender, per Category:People by gender
Reason: Manual merge, "The Free City of Danzig was a city-state under the protection and oversight of the League of Nations between 1920 and 1939, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig". I don't think that this intersection is defining or helpful for emigrants as they are emigrating away from Danzig. I don't think we should merge into Category:People from the Free City of Danzig because that isn't defining for any of the people here. And arguably I think that it is overcategorized
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's only one category in here, which is unhelpful for navigation. @Mercy11:, please add more than one category when you make occupation categories for insular areas of the United States
Reason: Broaden the scope as right now there isn't a main engineer category, and it will be some time before Bermuda can support diffusing engineers by specialization
Reason: This is an extremely small category that isn't helpful for navigation. Upmerge for now (possibly for a long time as it's arguably not a defining intersection).
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's no need for a category with one category in it. The category is already in Novels set in ancient Rome (so only a single merge is needed).
Reason: American people by occupation and populated place is the parent and the recent consensus was that we should use populated place instead of city
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's only one person in this category, and no sequential centuries. (Only member is already in 10th-century historians from the Abbasid Caliphate)
Reason: Norm for Bohemia is to use "of/in/from" Bohemia. (this will overwrite a newly created category, and preserve the edit history of this much older 2004 category)
Reason: I don't think it is helpful for navigation to silo off Medieval European mathematics from the rest, given that Category:European mathematics doesn't exist
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's only one person in here, which is not enough to support a category. (Anna Gonsalves Paes de Azevedo is already in 17th-century Brazilian businesspeople and Brazilian women in business)
Reason: Non-defining intersection between race, gender, and occupation. Should be renamed and reparented to the broader race-category. (if kept, it should still be renamed to "American women psychologists of Asian descent")
Reason: Only one category in here, which is unhelpful for navigation. Delete instead of merge because the child category is already in the proper categories.
Reason: Upmerge for now. There are only categories by country in here, (and the parent category Asian fashion by region only contains this category). It's not helpful for navigation.
Reason: This seems like a non-defining intersection. At the very least, I think it needs to be renamed to make it clearer. The page description is quite specific... "Early photographers is meant here as: active before 1948, in Ottoman Palestine (from the invention of photography until 1917–1918), and in British-ruled Palestine (from the conquest in the First World War until withdrawal in May 1948). In this time "Palestine" and "Palestinian" did not have a single ethno-political significance, being used for a politically dependent territory and all of its inhabitants. Western photographers active in Palestine/the Holy Land during this period also belong added here, as do Armenian, Christian Arab, Jewish, Muslim Arab and any other resident photographers."
Reason: Delete. I think this category needs to be deleted as non-defining. There is only one category in here, and seems to be an abandoned project. If kept, it should be renamed to so that "European" is capitalized.
Reason: Delete for now. The only page in this category (Chinampa)is also in the parent category (and only marginally fits in the category). This is unhelpful for navigation.
Reason: Upmerge for now. This category only has one category in it, which isn't helpful for navigation. (Also the non-merge parent category Cateogry:Tile sets only has this category in it).
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to only have one category in here. And it is worth pointing out that the only category (Category:Novels by Khadija Mastoor (1) ) contains a single novel. Delete instead of merge because the lone category is correctly categorized
Reason: in the spirit of categories like Activists for African-American civil rights. We should rename it to make it clearer that this category is about the issue, not the activist's nationality.
Reason: Others on the talk page raised concerns about the credibility/validity of this article about 10 years ago [8].
Although I attempted to revamp the lead, it became extremely clear to me that this article's sources are only primary sources, and that this entire piece seems extremely self-promoation. In order for this to be possibly made into a credible/balanced wikipedia article a lot of work is needed, and that assumes that it even warrents a page. As far as I can tell, this is not a commonly used measure. (And I say that as someone who teaches classes about personality psychology and psychological testing.)
Reason: C2D: The page is called "Drafter". Per the article page "A drafter (also draughtsman / draughtswoman in British and Commonwealth English, draftsman / draftswoman or drafting technician in American and Canadian English) " The subcategories can be speedied after the nomination closes.
Reason: I think that we should rename this category to make it clearer that these are people who write about the subject of atheism. rather than writers who are atheists
Reason: Per C2C: Norm is to use Historians of SUBJECT, I'm not sure if this can be speedied because the main page is called List of Breton historians. But as named it could be historians who are ethnically Bretons
Reason: parent is Category:Populated places in insular areas of the United States, and several cfd have agreed to shift categories from city to populated place
Reason: Upmerge. There's no need to difussion by the intersection of EU and type of organization. (I've only selected one merge target because this is the only category in Organizations based in EU, which doesn't help navigation)
Reason: Dual upmerge for now. We don't need to diffuse at the intersection of century + nationality + type of philosopher. (there's not even a main intersection of Category:17th-century political philosophers)
Reason: Merge somewhere, this category only has a lone category in it. IT could be converted into a stub, but right now it is just a category with some serious overcategorization.
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to only have one band member; Per the guidance on the parent category Cateogry:Musicians by band "Musicians by their bands, whether previous or current members. Categories should not be created when only one member has an article."
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to only have one band member; Per the guidance on the parent category Cateogry:Musicians by band "Musicians by their bands, whether previous or current members. Categories should not be created when only one member has an article."
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to only have one band member; Per the guidance on the parent category Cateogry:Musicians by band "Musicians by their bands, whether previous or current members. Categories should not be created when only one member has an article."
Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to only have one band member; Per the guidance on the parent category Cateogry:Musicians by band "Musicians by their bands, whether previous or current members. Categories should not be created when only one member has an article."
Reason: Upmerge for now. There's not enough content to diffuse by type of non-binary scientist. The only person in this category India Logan-Riley is already in Category:New Zealand archaeologists. I haven't formed an opinion on whether is is a defining intersection, and do not intend for my nomination to be interpreted as such
