- Propose merging Category:Translators of the Bible into Oromo to Category:Translators of the Bible into Cushitic languages and Category:Translators to Oromo
- Nominator's rationale: merge, this category has two articles and both parent categories have only one other article, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:TSG Entertainment films

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 04:03, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: "films by studio" category for a company that isn't a film studio. I went through all 124 of the articles in this category, and TSG Entertainment is mentioned in only 7 of them (28 Years Later, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Birth of a Nation (2016 film), Deadpool & Wolverine, A Good Day to Die Hard, Jojo Rabbit, Terminator: Dark Fate). Per WP:CATV,
It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories.
In other words, categories do not exist to introduce new information, but to group articles based on the information they already contain, in order to make navigation between them easier. The contents of this category are also already listified right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - Until twelve days ago, this category was categorized under Category:American films by studio, despite it not being a studio. This category is currently categorized under: Category:20th Century Fox films, Category:20th Century Studios films, Category:Columbia Pictures films, Category:Fox Searchlight Pictures films and Category:Searchlight Pictures films, despite TSG Entertainment not being under the heading of any of those companies. It is a film financing firm that invests money into movies produced and distributed by studios, in exchange for a share of the profits. It does not own, run, or function as one of those studios. TSG Entertainment receives a secondary "in association with" credit rather than a primary studio credit. It is financial partner, not a subsidiary or division of those studios, and as far as I am aware we do not categorize films by the various business partners it may have had. Similarly, we also do not categorize films by their executive producer, co-producer, associate producer, line producer etc. That is a non-defining characteristic, as evidenced by reliable sources, the majority of which do not consistently define the films categorized here as being TSG Entertainment films in their prose covering each. For example, for what is likely the biggest film the company was ever involved in, Avatar: The Way of Water, all I could find were 2 articles mentioning TSG Entertainment. And that is a film which received an enormous level of mainstream coverage. The rest that mention TSG with Avatar 2 are about the company itself and its later lawsuit against Disney.

- Delete It's a film finance company. The films are not considered "TSG Entertainment films", as they did not create/produce them. Mike Allen 18:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Template:Lagos-politician-stub to Template:LagosNG-politician-stub
- Nominator's rationale: Deals with Lagos State, not the city itself, if that makes sense. {{LagosNG-geo-stub}} pertains to the State - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 00:26, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

- I would just boldly move templates like this that have so little edit history. Leave a redirect so nothing breaks. Mclay1 (talk) 23:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Middle schools in England
- 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). GoldRomean (talk) 04:00, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Middle schools in Northumberland (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Middle schools in England
- Propose merging Category:Middle schools in Somerset (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Middle schools in England
- Propose merging Category:Middle schools in Newcastle upon Tyne (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Middle schools in England
- Propose merging Category:Middle schools in the Metropolitan Borough of North Tyneside (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Middle schools in England
- Propose merging Category:Middle schools in Worcestershire (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Middle schools in England
- Nominator's rationale: Category:Middle schools in England is already underpopulated with a few underpopulated subcategories. Given the small number of English middle school articles we have, and the fact many of them should possibly be deleted, it is unhelpful to categorise them in multiple layers of categories. AusLondonder (talk) 18:52, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Merge, the entire tree contains less than 20 articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:25, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Liechtenstein people of Bahamian descent
- 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) 18:54, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing only a single article, Justin Ospelt on an individual born in the Bahamas and now a naturalised citizen of Liechtenstein. Article is also in Category:Bahamian people of Liechtenstein descent. A descent category is not appropriate in this case nor helpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 18:34, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, at best he may be considered to be an emigrant from the Bahamas but even that is not entirely clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I really think we should have no one in both fooian people of boo descent and booing people of Foo descent.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:16, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Support per nom. The category creator has a history of creating underpopulated categories like this. I've asked them several times to populate them, but they don't respond or change their behavior. SMasonGarrison 01:56, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Ambassadors of Armenia to El Salvador (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining categories each containing only a single article, resulting in significant individual over-categorisation of articles. For example, Hynek Kmoníček has been added to 11 non-resident ambassador categories, all of which only contain that article. AusLondonder (talk) 18:16, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, ambassadors should not be in non-resident categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:30, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Special Landing Forces of the Imperial Brazilian Navy
- 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... 19:28, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Overly narrow and generally clueless and misleading. It seems this was created by analogy with Category:Special Landing Forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy without much thought. "Special Naval Landing Forces" is used formally for multiple historical units in the Imperial Japanese Navy. No such term was used by the Imperial Brazilian Navy's administration or historians on the subject. Nor is it, to my knowledge, a term of art for marine units in general, and even if it were, it would have to be written in sentence case, not title case. Title case implies a formal name. But even renaming this into a more proper term, such as "Marines of the Imperial Brazilian Navy", still leaves us with a single-page category or actually a half-page category, as that page covers a much broader subject than just the Imperial Brazilian Navy's marine component. Serraria (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, and while we're at it, rename Category:Special Landing Forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy to Category:Special Naval Landing Forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Clarityfiend (talk) 15:03, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- Update. I've nominated the IJN category for renaming. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:46, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Companies of Denmark. (non-admin closure) GothicGolem29 (Talk) 18:55, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Companies of Denmark by head office location to Category:Companies of Denmark
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge unnecessary layer that doesn't fit into a normal categorisation scheme. It would be more helpful for navigation for the first two subcategories to be directly in the main category. Category:Companies of Greenland by city can be purged since it is already in the target through Category:Companies of Greenland. Mclay1 (talk) 13:08, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Light rail transit in Kaohsiung

- The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 19:29, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Light rail transit in Kaohsiung to Category:Kaohsiung LRT
- Nominator's rationale: There is only one Light rail transit system in Kaohsiung, which is operated by the City Government. According to the other cases in Taiwan, it's hardly possible to build another LRT system. And the interwiki links link to Category:Kaohsiung LRT, too. 迴廊彼端 (talk) 12:49, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Kaohsiung Metro and Category:Light rail in Taiwan, redundant category layer, there is currently only one light rail line in Kaohsiung. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Category:Danhai Light Rail Transit and Category:Ankeng Light Rail Transit do not have a duplicate category like Category:Kaohsiung Metro. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:57, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
- They do. Danhai Light Rail Transit is in Category:New Taipei Metro and indeed part of it, operated by the same company. Kaohsiung LRT is similar.--迴廊彼端 (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- They are not duplicates. Category:New Taipei Metro is more than just Danhai Light Rail Transit. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:32, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

- Merge Category:1900 murders in China to Category:1900s murders in China and Category:1900 murders
- Merge Category:1900 murders in the United States to Category:1900 murders and Category:1900s murders in the United States
- Nominator's rationale The whole murders by country tree for 1900 only has 9 articles. This is not enough to justify a split by country. These will need to be manual upmerges since some of these articles are in the mass murders in 1900 sub-cat. With Germany there are no other categories in the 1900s so upmerging to the general parent is probably the best course.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:38, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Merge AllMerge China/Alt Merge Germany/Keep US per WP:NARROWCAT and the comments below. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:22, 19 January 2026 (UTC)- The first one can be merged to Category:19th-century murders in Germany instead, and Category:1900 murders as well. I presume the earlier year categories will be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- merge per above --Lenticel (talk) 06:13, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- Alt merge for Germany adding targets Category:1900 in Germany, Category:1900 murders in Europe, Category:1900s crimes in Germany, and Category:19th-century murders in Germany rather than Category:Murder in Germany; delete Category:1900 crimes in Germany and Category:1900s murders in Germany which will be emptied.
- Keep the US as well-populated (5 pages) and part of a complete series in Category:Murders in the United States by year.
- Keep the China one (3 pages) pending a more comprehensive approach to Category:Murders in China by year. It would be more useful to tackle the sparse parts of the murders hierarchy one country at a time, rather than one year at a time. – Fayenatic London 22:28, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Lenticel, Marcocapelle, Johnpacklambert, and RevelationDirect: thoughts? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:44, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- I agree with Fayenatic london on the alt merge for the German subcat and keeping the American subcat; I respectfully disagree on the Chinese one and favor merging. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:55, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- I agree with Fayenatic london on the alt merge for the German subcat and keeping the American subcat; I am neutral on the Chinese one. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
- I agree with Fayenatic london on the alt merge for the German subcat and keeping the American subcat. I think the Chinese one should follow the original proposal. --Lenticel (talk) 00:13, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. In addtion, several intermediate layers will be emptied by this proposal. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:07, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layers with only one article and one subcategory each. The subcategories suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:52, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- These articles can be created, and they have articles on Serbian Wikipedia. TheUzbek (talk) 20:37, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- If more articles are written then it is easy enough to recreate the categories. For now it remains a matter of crystalballing. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:50, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, GoldRomean (talk) 19:18, 18 February 2026 (UTC)- Keep, many of the articles on the serbo-croatian wikipedias seem like they would meet GNG here, no point in merging something only for it to be unmerged in the case of article creation, also may encourage article creation among among those who are bothered by 1 member cats.
