- Category:Jurists from Denmark–Norway: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Norwegian jurists; notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 22:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-defining for the only person in here. Extremely small category with only 1 person, who doesn't have any mention of Denmark–Norway in the text. I urge the category creator to stop making categories that only have one person in them.
- Category:Jewish libertarians: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Uglytriangle999 (talk · contribs) 23:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:South Korean anti-feminists: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:South Korean critics of feminism; notified CJ-Moki (talk · contribs) 14:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I think we should rename this category to mirror the sibling categories (Female critics of feminism etc) in its parent Critics of feminism.
- Category:Longitudinal study: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Longitudinal studies 14:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I think that this category needs to be renamed to match the sibling category Cohort studies
- Category:Human enhancement: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Transhumanism; notified Biohistorian15 (talk · contribs) 14:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:De-extinction genetic engineering: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Genetic engineering; notified DinosaursLoveExistence (talk · contribs) 14:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Scottish noblewomen: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Scottish women by rank; notified Tagishsimon (talk · contribs) 16:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I think we should rename and purge this category to mirror British women by rank and English women by rank
- Category:WWE wrestlers: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified WrestlingWikipedian (talk · contribs) 17:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: We don't need to categorize people by which wrestling organization they're signed
- Category:Professional wrestlers who use Asian mist: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Mr. C.C. (talk · contribs) 17:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Narrow in subject and non-defining. We don't have other categories were the subject as ever used a specific move. The category description indicates a huge inclusion criteria of using a specific move. "This category is for all professional wrestlers who, at some point, used Asian mist."
- Category:Professional wrestlers who boxed amateurly and professionally: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Davidgoodheart (talk · contribs) 17:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Why do we need people who are at the triple intersection of three sports?
- Category:Expatriates from the Spanish Empire: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 18:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This category is underpopulated and unhelpful. The only person in here is cuban, and there is no mention of the spanish empire on the page
- Category:Artists from New Spain: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 18:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Non of the people in here are described as being New Spanish. I think that this kind of category could work as a parent/container category, but I don't see how it's helpful to bundle such disparate people together
- Category:Pro-Confederate writers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:19th-century American writers; notified Deisenbe (talk · contribs) 19:36, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:American high school teachers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:American schoolteachers; notified Apokrif (talk · contribs) 19:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Do we really need to diffuse by level of educator? Do we have middle school, elementary school? This just doesn't need to be very defining
- Category:Mid 19th Century Revival architecture: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Revival architectural styles; notified Doncram (talk · contribs) 23:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Decades in the Colony of Virginia: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Decades in Virginia; notified Gonnym (talk · contribs) 03:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Redundant categoey lay
- Category:People involved in race and intelligence controversies: nominated at CfDS (C2E); New name: Category:People associated with race and intelligence controversies 21:16, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Realized that this name implies that each person is directly involved in the controversy (or advocating that there are genetic between group differences). A subset of folks in here do work that effectively argues the opposite (or folks who are actively involved in demonstrating that the differences aren't caused by race.
- Template:Editnotices/Page/List of Russian Earth scientists: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Template:Editnotices/Page/List of Russian earth scientists 00:17, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: match parent "List of Russian earth scientists" earth is lower case for the field of earth science
- Category:Fijian geoscientists: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fijian earth scientists 00:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: all siblings are in Earth scientists by nationality, and are called FOOian earth scientists. (and not FOOian Category:Geoscientists. The category description of Earth sciences reads "Earth science (also known as geoscience, the geosciences, or the Earth sciences) includes all the sciences related to the planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science, Earth being the only known life-bearing planet known to Homo sapiens. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth science."
- Category:Women Indian independence activists: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Indian women independence activists 01:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: word ordering is "Indian women" activists
- Category:Women Korean independence activists: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Korean women independence activists 01:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: norm is "Korean women" activists
- Category:Fajemirokun family: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Historian123x (talk · contribs) 01:55, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Delete for now. There are only two people in this family, which could be interlinked if it was clear how they were related.
- Category:19th century people from Mississippi: nominated at CfDS (C2E); New name: Category:19th-century people from Mississippi 04:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Indonesian women religious leaders: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Indonesian women by occupation; notified Le Deluge (talk · contribs) 20:24, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Explorers from the Tsardom of Russia: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Russian explorers; notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 22:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: 3x merge for now, this is a very narrow intersection that's not needed for diffusion
- Category:American male artists of Indian descent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:American artists of Indian descent; notified Roland zh (talk · contribs) 22:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't see why we need to have an intersection with gender*occupation*Indian descent. Male and women artists are non-diffusiong.
- Category:American women artists of Indian descent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:American artists of Indian descent; notified Roland zh (talk · contribs) 22:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: grammar
- Category:Aztec scholars: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Scholars of the Aztecs; notified CJLL Wright (talk · contribs) 22:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Per the category description, this category is for scholars of the Aztec people, rather than Aztec people who are scholars. I think we should rename it to make that distinction clearer.
- Category:Dutch people of the Eighty Years' War (Spanish Empire): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:???; notified Neddyseagoon (talk · contribs) 22:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: From the category description this is supposed to be for Dutch people who served the Spanish Empire during the Eight Years War. The current name doesn't convey that's the relationship. I don't have a good rename suggestion, but I think the current version is confusing.
- Category:20th-century Catalan architects: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:20th-century Spanish architects; notified Gjs238 (talk · contribs) 23:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Tamil priests: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Tamil clergy; notified Obi2canibe (talk · contribs) 01:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I think we should broaden the category to all clergy rather than the narrower priests. (I am not opposed to upmerging for now, given that this category has only one person in it)
- Category:LGBT men artists: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:LGBT male artists; notified MikutoH (talk · contribs) 12:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Moving to [full]. Norm is "Male artists". For the record, the speedy rename was supported by the category creator. @MikutoH and Marcocapelle: discussants.
- Category:Vatican sportspeople: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Vatican City sportspeople 16:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Homosexual concentration camp survivors: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:LGBT concentration camp survivors; notified Jdsteakley (talk · contribs) 20:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I think we should rename this category to use the more inclusive and commonly used term of LGBT. The rename would also be more consistent with the other Nazi era category (Category:LGBT people in the Nazi Party)
- Category:Jewish businesspeople: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified EytanMelech (talk · contribs) 16:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: My speedy delete nomination was declined [1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_July_8) because there have been more recent mixed opinions of the intersection of being Jewish and several occupations. I think that this category is problematic under EGRS given that it is primarily based on a stereotype rather than a defining intersection. I also think that several child categories have been deleted over the same concern. (I think that Jewish Bankers is an exception because of the historical context of banking in Europe being a non-Christian occupation because of usury)
- Category:19th-century Austrian biblical scholars: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:19th-century biblical scholars, Category:Austrian biblical scholars; notified DJKinsella (talk · contribs) 21:45, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Fictional people from the Austro-Hungarian empire: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional people from Austria-Hungary; notified HansBrooke97 (talk · contribs) 23:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Delete for now. I think there's no need to have a category with a single person in it. If not deleted, I think we should rename it to match the parent Cateogry:People from Austria-Hungary
- Category:Military personnel of the Middle Ages: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Medieval military personnel; notified Hugo999 (talk · contribs) 23:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:6th-century soldiers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Medieval soldiers; notified Zoupan (talk · contribs) 05:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: Norm is FOOian people
- Category:Russian women of World War I: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Russian women in World War I 01:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: siblings in Category:Women in World War I by nationality are all women in WWI (notably the parent Russian people of World War I and siblings all follow Category:People of World War I by nationality)
- Category:American veterans activists: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:American veterans' rights activists; notified FieldMarine (talk · contribs) 03:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Bombing of the Gaza Strip: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Israeli airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war; notified Family27390 (talk · contribs) 04:10, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: This category has a lot of overlap with the parent category. I think a better name would be Category:Israeli airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war, which more closely mirrors sibling categories like Category:American airstrikes during the Syrian civil war
- Category:12th-century Scottish Roman Catholic clergy: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:12th-century Scottish Roman Catholic priests 05:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: The norm is that XXXth-century FOOian Roman Catholic clergy should be named XXXth-century FOOian Roman Catholic priests. There was more recent movement on this, but I can only seem to dig up this older one Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_February_11

- Category:Afghan refugee and immigrant athletes: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Afghan refugees; notified Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 22:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: WP:OCAWARD this is not a defining award. The selection criteria notes that "Ashoka supports social entrepreneurs who have begun to implement their work, have achieved positive impact, and are ready to scale up nationally or internationally". This is more of a network than a defining award. https://www.ashoka.org/en-tr/recommend-ashoka-fellow

- Reason: Upmerge. This category only has (and can ever have) one person it it. Per Alabama Territory "William Wyatt Bibb (1781–1820) of Georgia was the only territorial governor, later elected to that position after statehood." Accordingly, this category is unhelpful for navigation.
