Category:People of Taiwanese descent a parent for both of the targets above. There it is clear that the format is

Category:Creators and founders of boxing and its institutions to

Delete categories only; without prejudice to their re-creation in future if they are warranted by existence of articles to go in them.

A huge percentage of categories that go to CFD for deletion or renaming are ones that were named after commons categories.) |

no consensus; essentially the same as the first discussion.

There is also no consensus that it's an appropriate category, so it remains only by default. Maybe if some of the neutrals consistently settle their minds one way or the other, we may be able to get some sort of consensus in a future discussion. |

suggestion endorsed. Perhaps because of the lack of participation here, a "test nomination" should be run by nominating a few of the "media" categories that are thought to be most prominent among them. Then if suddenly there's a wave of resistance to the change, we won't have wasted our time nominating all the categories. After the test nomination closes, we can go from there, perhaps with a more expedited process—we could temporarily incorporate this change into the speedy criteria, for instance. |

On the other hand 'Alumni' is more American than British and used mainly for Universities. So, I think, a consensus view is that 'pupils' is better |

The consensus to have the name include the state is less strong, but even if we say there is no true consensus to have the state, we probably need to default to having the state since as currently formatted it does include the state. There certainly is no consensus for removing the state from the category name, so we won't |

| Various categories of "National Park areas" by state |
No consensus on all fronts. No consensus on whether the it should be "National Park Service" or "National Park System". No consensus on whether the next word should be "area" or "unit", and no consensus on whether or not to explicitly mention the affiliated areas in the category names. It's now 34 days since this CfD was first listed, and since there is no consensus after nearly 5 weeks, I am not going to relist it again.
Meanwhile, a new
Category:United States National Park Service areas by state was created with sub-categories for each state after the opening of the original discussion, and there seems to be no consensus on the fate of those categories or their relationship to the categories under discussion. A fresh nomination may want to address some or all of the unresolved issues ... but please do remembe to tag all the categories under discussion |

KEEP. There is not a consensus to merge these to "former settlements" (and which the arguments below establish would cause a loss of relevant information), and the disagreement below about whether "depopulated" is POV appears to have been resolved. As for the other issue of whether the "before," "during," and "after" categories should be combined into [?], there is no consensus for that within this discussion. The merits and specifics of that proposal would be best addressed by a new, separate CFD rather than relisting and continuing this meandering one. |
