The result of the discussion was: delete both the nominated category and Category:Danish Orthodox Jews. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:37, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Just delete together with Category:Danish Orthodox Jews, the subcategory of the latter is already part of Category:Danish rabbis. I will tag Category:Danish Orthodox Jews for deletion too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: dual upmerge for now. underpopulated category SMasonGarrison 21:48, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Dual merge, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:03, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Czech Republic–Montenegro sports relations

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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 18:46, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Category about Czech-Montenegro "sports relations" consisting of Yugoslavia at the 1978 European Athletics Championships which took place in Prague and UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying play-offs, despite the fact that article was already appropriately categorised, with categories such as Category:Czech Republic at UEFA Euro 2012. The creator of this new category however removed the article from Category:2011–12 in Czech football when they placed this new category. AusLondonder (talk) 20:06, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, mere participation to a sports tournament should not be added to a bilateral relations category. On top of that Yugoslavia is not Montenegro. The remaining single subCategory:Montenegrin expatriate sportspeople in the Czech Republic does not require this as a parent. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:07, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
    Respectfully, that is not participation to a sports tournament. Montenegro did not participate in UEFA Euro 2012. This is a qualifying play-off, i.e. a single (actually a home-and-home two-leg) match. Place Clichy (talk) 05:43, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
    • Qualification matches are an integral part of a tournament and it certainly does not matter when it comes to bilateral relations. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep, several reasons and comments:
    • The UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying play-offs was not part of the wider UEFA Euro 2012 tournament, it was a single game opposing Czech Republic and Montenegro for qualifying to it, one of four such games. Direct face-to-face games between countries, when notable enough for a Wikipedia article, are routinely added to bilateral relations category where they of course belong. The purpose of Category:Bilateral sports relations by country and children is precisely to move such articles away from the root of such categories next to war, diplomacy and treaties for clarity and the benefit of readers.
    • Category:Montenegrin expatriate sportspeople in the Czech Republic (16 articles) is also a legitimate child of this category, conveniently forgotten by the nominator in their somewhat misleading rationale. The fact that professional sportspeople from Montenegro come to play for Czech teams (more than the opposite it seems) is also a reflection of sports-related links between these countries.
    • Category:2011–12 in Czech football is already a parent of Category:Czech Republic at UEFA Euro 2012, and therefore a redundant grand-parent of article UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying play-offs per WP:SUBCAT. When browsing other articles about Euro qualifying play-offs, generally written and/or categorized by the same editors, I saw that such grand-parent inclusions were generally omitted, with reason. Place Clichy (talk) 02:05, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per Marcocapelle's reasoning. Especially that we should not categorize relations of a country as those of later countries that split out of it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:48, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete. Another ridiculous category created. There is no consensus for these. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Belarus–Cambodia relations

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: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 01:41, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Newly-created category containing no articles and only a single subcategory about expatriate sportspeople in Cambodia which has existed since 2023 without this redundant parent category. Despite recent discussions at CfD these categories are continuing to be created quite rapidly. AusLondonder (talk) 20:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, bilateral relations categories should not just consist of expatriates or migrants which are only tangentially related to the topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete This category is an unneeded parent category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:49, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per Marcopelle and nom. LibStar (talk) 04:34, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Barbadian expatriate sportspeople in Lithuania

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: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 01:41, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The single article in this category is already covered by multiple other categories: Category:Barbadian expatriate men's footballers, Category:Expatriate men's footballers in Lithuania,Category:Dutch expatriate sportspeople in Lithuania, and Category:Dutch expatriate men's footballers. This is unnecessary duplication. AusLondonder (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:13, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete The subject here is a Dutch national with a Barbadian father. He may technically legally fit this category, but we should base categories on realistic understanding of life histories not technical legal status. This is an unneeded excessive category. Since the lone subject has a Dutch mother, he is realistically a Dutch national of Barbadian deacent who was then a spirts expatriate. I have to admit the more I consider the issue the more I began to think we really need much tighter limits on who we put in expatriate categories. There are lita if aericles I previously put in expatriate categories that I now think wamere unwise placemenys. Part if ne almost thinks we should demetr expatriate categories and put everything in say Emigrants feom France to Italy or admit that if the move to Italy did not in some way rise to the level of emigration it does nit need the category at all. Anither part of ne thinks maybe we should merge French emigrabts to Italy and Frwnch expatriates in Italy into one category says emigrants and expatriates. However I know there is so much inertia in category soave thd somewhat overlapping emigrants and expatriates trees, both if whivh lead to a huge proliferation of narrow categories are going to stand.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:52, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per JPL, i.e. not because the category would be redundant with other categories (it is not) but because the lone individual in the category is not primarily Barbadian despite qualifying for the national football team. Place Clichy (talk) 12:49, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 01:41, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Fictional singers and Category:Fictional rappers. Useless Niamh (talk) 17:33, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, it is not clear that the occupation of the fictional character in the only article is singer or vocalist. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Question is there a difference between a vocalist and a singer?John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:00, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Small headlands of Wales categories

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 (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:22, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The category Category:Headlands of Wales currently contains no articles, only a container category containing eight categories, most quite small. I propose merging all these categories back into the Wales category. There are not enough articles to require sub-categorisation by county/borough. AusLondonder (talk) 14:33, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Missouri Tigers swimmers

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: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:38, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This category inappropriately redirects to Category:Missouri Tigers women's swimmers. Not all Missouri Tigers swimmers are women. I tried to add Mikel Schreuders to this category using HotCat and it put him in the Missouri Tigers women's swimmers. This redirect should either not exist or should redirect to Category:Missouri Tigers athletes. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 13:50, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete per name. Recommend creating a category for Missouri Tigers men's swimmers for above article and others, as appropriate. Billcasey905 (talk) 15:32, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Georgia (country)–South Korea sports relations

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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 18:46, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Newly-created category containing three articles about the participation of Georgia at recurring sports events hosted by South Korea and two articles about the Soviet Union at the 1988 Olympics/Paralympics which are now being added to multiple bilateral categories for post-Soviet states. I'm seeking consensus that this must stop - that sporting participation articles regarding the Soviet Union should not be added to all bilateral successor state categories.

Category:Norway–Uruguay sports relations

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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 18:46, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Newly-created category containing only a single article, 2023 Tournoi de France, a football tournament in France in 2023 in which both Norway and Uruguay participated. This is completely inappropriate over-categorisation and certainly not defining. AusLondonder (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Russia–San Marino relations

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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 18:46, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Newly-created category about "bilateral relations" containing four articles about the participation of San Marino in recurring sporting events hosted in Russia and Unfriendly countries and territories list, which was added to 15 bilateral relations categories yesterday. AusLondonder (talk) 12:53, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, mere participation to a sports tournament should not be added to a bilateral relations category. And a list of 15 countries is certainly not about bilateral relations. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:54, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep. The fact that Russia placed San Marino by law on its Unfriendly countries and territories list as a retaliation to Russo-Ukrainian War stance, one of "just" 13 countries besides the whole of NATO and the EU, is certainly relevant to international relations between these two countries. Where would that content be placed if this category was merely deleted? This action would remove it entirely from the San Marino tree. Place Clichy (talk) 01:34, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
    Not every mention of a topic (like San Marino) in an article should translate to a category. For being mentioned we have the "what links here" feature. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
    It is not a mere mention. It is an explicit law of Russia targeting San Marino. Plus the category has 5 articles in total. Place Clichy (talk) 12:27, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
    You have added it to several articles where it clearly does not belong, such as San Marino at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics. AusLondonder (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete We do not need to categorize articles by every small detail mentioned in am article. We should nit have a set up where we categorize a list under each of 13 or more countries mentioned on the list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:07, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Ambassadors of Kiribati to Taiwan

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 as nominated. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:47, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: merge, only one article in the category, this is not helpful for navigation. Do not merge to Category:Ambassadors of Kiribati to China since we keep ambassadors to the People's Republic and to Taiwan separate. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:51, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Support Per nom. I removed this category from inappropriate placement in the otherwise C2F eligible Category:Ambassadors of Kiribati to China yesterday but was reverted. AusLondonder (talk) 12:59, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. The placement of this in the Ambassadors of Kiribati to China Category is just plain wrong. China refers to the People's Reoublic of China. Ambassadors serve from a country to a country. We should not be merging multiple countries into 1 Category. If we do not have enough Ambassadors to a specific country to justify diffusion we can place them in the Ambassadors of Foo and Ambassadors to Boo categories directly. This practice of creating literally hundreds of 1 article Ambassadors categories is actively hindering navigation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:13, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment there are only at present 2 people who served as Ambassadors of Kiribati as far as I can tell who have Wikipedia articles. Why Category:Ambassadors of Kiribati would need any sub-categories at all is nit evident to me. Evidently narrow Category is not much of a guideline at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:16, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep or also merge to Category:Ambassadors of Kiribati to China. The case of ambassadors is tricky here. Per the One-China policy which both China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC) observe, there can be only one Ambassador to China at any given time for a country. This is the actual title of teh ambassadors of Kiribati (or any other country) located in Taiwan. Notably, for the period between 1949 and 1971, most countries had their ambassador to China located on Taiwan, and Taiwan held the China seat in the UN. On most other topics, I agree that Taiwan is the unambiguous common name of this country though, and I don't think there is a contradiction. Therefore, keeping a distinct category helps clearly define the role, but if merged the China category is a legitimate target together with other parents per WP:NARROWCAT. Place Clichy (talk) 12:33, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
    • Oppose merger to the China catrgory. We should not put people in a category that says China when they were sent to Taiwan. We should categorize Ambassadors by where they were assigned to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:04, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
    • Oppose merger to China too. Ambassadors to Taiwan and to the People's Republic should be kept apart. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:48, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Austria–Canada sports relations

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: delete. (non-admin closure) GothicGolem29 (Talk) 13:53, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: All of the articles in this newly-created category are participation articles from one country at the Olympics/Paralympics that happened to be hosted by the other country. This is not an example of "bilateral sports relations". I am unconvinced that most of these new bilateral sports relations categories solely containing recurring events hosted by a particular country should exist at all. We don't even have an article titled Sports relations. AusLondonder (talk) 12:48, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, mere participation to a sports tournament should not be added to a bilateral relations category. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:55, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) GothicGolem29 (Talk) 13:53, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Redundant new category created in the last few days, containing no articles. It contains only the subcategory Category:Austrian expatriate sportspeople in Laos which has existed perfectly fine since 2022 without this unnecessary parent category. It doesn't even look like the sportspeople category should exist, because it contains two biographies on people who were managers and technical staff of teams in Laos for a couple of years.

  • Propose renaming Category:Native American language films to Category:Films in Native American languages or Category:Films by Native American language
Nominator's rationale: Clarity. There is no one "Native American language". Mclay1 (talk) 01:21, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. I have a slight preference for Category:Films in Native American languages because "by" would exclude articles directly in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
    That makes sense. Mclay1 (talk) 23:23, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete there is no Native American language and it is not a language family either. This feels like categorization by race which we disallow.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:34, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete The Native American peoples have well-established relations to each other, but their languages do not. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:04, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Native American languages" are not an actual category of related languages and relevant films should be categorized in their actual languages instead. 🪐Kepler-1229b | talk | contribs🪐 16:15, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Propose deleting Category:Mass media by language of Malawi (0)
  • Propose deleting Category:Mass media by language of Zambia (0)
Nominator's rationale: Two container categories for the same one subcategory. Not helpful for navigation and not accurate to categorise these media under both countries. Mclay1 (talk) 01:04, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
I created both years ago.
Delete the one about Zambia can probably be deleted. I must have had a reason to create it then, but I see no reason for it to exist now, as I could find practically nothing that could be meaningfully added to it. That language is spoken in Zambia, but I couldn't find any articles that could be added to such a category. If some day such articles are written, the category can be recreated.
Keep the one about Malawi. I've reorganized it, and it's more helpful than it was a few hours ago. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 02:54, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
I still think the Malawi category is too small to be useful. One of the two new subcategories is already in the previous sole subcategory. If deleted, also delete Category:Categories by language of Malawi, which I've now tagged to this discussion. If kept, upmerge Category:Categories by language of Malawi to Category:Languages of Malawi, since it is a redundant category layer. Mclay1 (talk) 03:44, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
