September 10

Category:Superintendent ranks in police

• Propose deleting Category:Superintendent ranks in police (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary small category, completely superfluous to Category:Police ranks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:11, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Korean companies established in 1999

• Propose merging Category:Korean companies established in 1999 to Category:South Korean companies established in 1999

Nominator's rationale: Scope overlap, only one page in it, imprecise title (only page in it is South Korean company) seefooddiet (talk) 09:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Professional certifications in computer engineering

• Propose merging Category:Professional certifications in computer engineering to Category:Information technology qualifications

Nominator's rationale: narrow intersection that's not particularly defining for either page Mason (talk) 04:25, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:35, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Arabian slaves and freedmen

• Propose renaming Category:Arabian slaves and freedmen to Category:Arab slaves and freedman

Nominator's rationale: rename, as far as I know "Arabian" is used in conjunction with Arabian Peninsula and Arabian language, but in most other cases it is Arab. It should actually be slaves of Arabs rather than Arab slaves (e.g. a number of articles in subCategory:Moroccan slaves are about Europeans) but that is a problem that probably applies to all Category:Slaves by nationality subcategories too.

Category:Organisation headquarters in the United Kingdom

• Propose merging Category:Organisation headquarters in the United Kingdom to Category:Headquarters in the United Kingdom

Nominator's rationale: Mason (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Merge, of what else than an organisation should they be headquarters of. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:37, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Organization headquarters

• Propose merging Category:Organization headquarters to Category:Headquarters

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. Are there non organizational headquarters? Mason (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Merge, of what else than an organisation should they be headquarters of. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:38, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Amniotic sac

• Propose merging Category:Amniotic sac to Category:Body fluids

Nominator's rationale: Do we really need a category for the amniotic sac? Mason (talk) 03:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Fetal membranes

• Propose merging Category:Fetal membranes to Category:Embryology

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 03:12, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Merge per nom, there is only one subcategory in it. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:39, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:East German swimming people

• Propose merging Category:East German swimming people to Category:Swimming in East Germany
• Propose merging Category:Swimming people in the United Kingdom to Category:Swimming in the United Kingdom
• Propose merging Category:German swimming people to Category:Swimming in Germany

Nominator's rationale: Do we really need "Swimming people categories" like this? Mason (talk) 03:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• At least merge East German, which has only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:42, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:1384 establishments in Italy

• Propose splitting Category:1384 establishments in Italy to Category:14th century in Italy and Category:Medieval history of Italy

Nominator's rationale: Isolated category where the only page doesn't really need this level of specificity for establisment (Witch trials in Italy aren't really established like this) Mason (talk) 02:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Just delete, most witch trials took place in the early modern era rather than in the middle ages (which may be surprising). Marcocapelle (talk) 09:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Aragonese ambassadors to the Byzantine Empire

• Propose splitting Category:Aragonese ambassadors to the Byzantine Empire to Category:Ambassadors to the Byzantine Empire and Category:Ambassadors of Aragon

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only one page in here, and there are unlikely to be more anytime soon. Mason (talk) 02:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

• Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:45, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
