When the Ryukyuan Kingdom was disestablished by the end of the 19th century it became the Okinawa Prefecture.

- Nominator's rationale This is a narrow Category that hinders navigation. It has 1 article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:00, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose nomination of one year only, for consistency reasons. I'd support merging all years, establishments and disestablishments in England until 1500 though. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Merge Merging this category does not require that other categories be merged; that can be done after this CfD is finished. I've closed Category:1358 establishments in Europe as keep, so merge there. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:53, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Staraction (talk · contribs) 23:32, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Empty category that's misusing Wikipedia process. It's tagged with the {{Possibly empty category}} template to stave off deletion, but that template is only meant for use on project and maintenance categories that are needed on an ongoing basis but might be empty sometimes (such as temporary error-tracker categories that are transcluded by maintenance templates) to prevent a continual delete-recreate-redelete-rerecreate cycle -- it is not meant to exempt mainspace content categories from regular mainspace content category rules, because it could just be casually applied to any mainspace category and thereby render those rules completely meaningless and unenforceable.
So this is a category that should be consistently populated in order to exist, and editors can simply use the Category:Scheduled sports events parent if there aren't enough articles about future water polo competitions to keep this from ever being empty. Bearcat (talk) 14:13, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, unless a few articles can be put into it. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete/Comment Several other subcategories of Category:Scheduled sports events have the same tag and it should also be removed. Future events with concrete planning and reliable sources are allowable under WP:CRYSTAL so the concept is fine but empty navigational categories are not. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:58, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:OCASSOC, WP:NONDEF. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:57, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I expected this to be prominent anti-fascists who debated fascists but, after clicking on the cat, seems to be groups that people debate whether or not they're fascist. Way too vague. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:47, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I too was with Revelation Direct in my expectation of the content. I am not sure that would be defining, and if it was I am not sure this is the name I would use. This is not a good name and I do not think "movements some people have called fascists and others disagree with them being labeled in this manner" is a good way to make a category anyway. Categories are supposed to be based on things that are agreed too widely. If it is very much a matter of debate or uncertainty we do not need a category at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:49, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
Keep We just need to create a standard: don't use that category for Living people. The category reduces the likelihood of disputes from "fascism" controversial articles to existing categories, and is also very useful academically.ProgramT (talk) 06:51, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge to Category:Definition of fascism controversy. this is more appropriate as a title for a category when you look at examples such as Category:Definition of antisemitism controversy and Category:Definition of racism controversy. ProgramT (talk) 07:18, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

- The main page Islamist insurgency in Nigeria is a redirect to Boko Haram insurgency and we already have a Category:Boko Haram insurgency. There is no need for a separate conflict category.

Category:Sea captains from New York (state)
- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:American sea captains and Category:Sailors from New York (state). This discussion began with a rename+rescope proposal. That was rendered moot when the rename target was created as a new category, which leaves whether there should be a dual upmerge. Three editors argued that there are not enough captains to diffuse by state, one editor argued that we could. There isn't really any policy or guideline weighting that can occur here, so I see consensus in favor of the proposal which attracted three supports. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:50, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Sea captains from New York (state) to Category:Sailors from New York (state)
- Nominator's rationale: Rename to match Category:English sailors by county and broaden the scope the category. Sea captains alone is very specific since few ever become one, let alone notable ones, but sailor is a broader term and a "by state" category can be made for that. Omnis Scientia (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Agreeing with below comments. Rename and dual merge with Category:American sea captains. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:54, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- See prior discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 November 29#Category:Sea captains from Brooklyn. No objection to this rename. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:25, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Dual merge to Category:American sea captains. I think the sailors by state is a more justified way to categorize this. We already have Category:Sailors from Massachusetts.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:54, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- If renamed, then also merge to Category:American sea captains. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose a sea captain is an executive position which is distinct from someone being a sailor. The by state categorization should be expanded as there are almost 150 articles in that category. Petscan shows that there are 29 potential articles for Category:Sea captains from Maine.--User:Namiba 14:32, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- We use sailor to mean anyone who made their occupation on a ship, we do not generally in categories distinguish between executive and lower employees. 150 articles is way too few to split by state. That would average 3 articles per category with 50 states.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:47, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, we do distinguish between executives and lower level employees. We have the whole category of Category:Leaders. We have Category:Fire chiefs and Category:Firefighters. We have Category:Slave owners and Category:Slaves. In virtually every profession, we have separate categories for executives.--User:Namiba 17:23, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- I get what you mean but none of those examples are the same as a sea captain which isn't an executive role. In these cases, it means a sailor in charge of a sea going vessel. In fact, a lot of these there are habour pilots - specialized sailors - which isn't the same as being a sea captain at all. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:15, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

- A sea captain is a sailor who holds command of a seafaring vessel. E.g. the captain of a cargo ship or a passenger liner in the merchant navy. You can argue it is also a dual executive role too but, in the end, they are still sailors. I would also agree with John that 150 articles is too few to split by states and wouldn't be helpful for navigation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 00:22, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: If any action has consensus, it is to dual upmerge, but should a sea captain be categorised as a sailor (Namibia's oppose)?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Staraction (talk · contribs) 03:40, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Category:Sea captains is a subcategory of Category:Sailors, Category:American sea captains is a subcategory of Category:American sailors so that, if merged "sailors" is an obvious merge target. I guess the discussion is more about size, whether 150 articles is worthwhile to split by state. I do not know the answer to that. If there are only a few sea-bordering states who deliver the vast majority of captains it makes sense to diffuse, but if captains come from all over the United States then less so. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:00, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment I do not think we are going to get large enough categories with less than 200 total articles. I think we would be best of diffusing sailors by state but not sea captains.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
- In states where the primary occupation was maritime, we will have enough for sea captains. For example, the existing New York category already has 7 articles. There would be 47 articles in Category:Sea captains from Massachusetts if we create it. There would be 24 articles in Category:Sea captains from Maine if we create it. There would be 14 articles in Category:Sea captains from Connecticut if we create it. There would be 8 articles in Category:Sea captains from New Jersey if we create it.--User:Namiba 14:53, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Saudi Arabian films not categorized by year. Gjs238 (talk) 02:18, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete as empty although it is clear that there should be more extensive categorization by release date for Saudi films. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:21, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- If someone would create sibling categories for 2020 to 2025 then this category could be kept too. There is at least one article for 2026 already. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

- Keep per Gjs238. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:13, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm the one who categorized these articles into 2020s Saudi Arabian films. They were only just now diffused by year. So there's no reason to delete, because at the very least upmerge back to the decade cat. But now these year cats are filled. Except the original cat nominated here, Category:2026 Saudi Arabian films, still only has 2 articles. What do we think of that? Οἶδα (talk) 20:24, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

- Eh, sounds WP:CRYSTAL, but I'll admit it improves navigation between adjacent categories. So Keep I guess. Οἶδα (talk) 04:35, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Instead, delete its parent Category:Volleyball roster templates; no merging is needed for that one. – Fayenatic London 10:04, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
