Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous parent category for only one song article which is already appropriately categorized in the band's song category.

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. The original rationale stated that the former category was for actually Jewish people, while the latter was for people having Jewish ancestry while not being Jews themselves. However this has become obsolete, as the first category is now merely a container category of national descent categories already present in the descent category tree. The nuance between Jew/Jewish descent would nowadays be covered by other denominational or occupational categories, rather than by the national descent tree.

Comment, one tree is by continent while the other tree is by country. I am unsure about the benefit of merging continents and countries together into one tree. Why not simple rename the category to "by continent"?

@
Marcocapelle: It's not so clear-cut. The one which I guess you consider to be by continent is actually called American Jews by national origin. It contains
American Jews of Mizrahi descent, which cannot be considered a by continent tree, although it only serves as container category for national American people of Fooian-Jewish descent categories. Half of the content of the nominated category is already also in the target (I didn't put it there). I would suggest to have the continental or regional subcategories grouped at the beginning with a star (*) sortkey, along with frequent practice. However, they may themselves need to be renamed from American Jews of Fooian descent to American people of Fooian-Jewish descent, in order to remove this ambiguity between Jewishness or Jewish descent, which is what bothers me most here.

I agree that
American Jews of Mizrahi descent is an imperfect proxy of Asian descent, but the category nearly functions as Asian descent in this tree anyway. In fact when the two categories are merged, all country subcategories that are currently in
Category:American people of Jewish descent could be moved down into the continental/regional subcategories, per
WP:SUBCAT, and we would only have the continental/regional subcategories left as direct subcategories of
Category:American people of Jewish descent. Well okay, while I think of this possibility, that's actually not so bad. Support after all.

Nominator's rationale: Badly defined. The article,
Online service provider says: "An online service provider (OSP) can, for example, be an Internet service provider, an email provider, a news provider (press), an entertainment provider (music, movies), a search engine, an e-commerce site, an online banking site, a health site, an official government site, social media, a wiki, or a Usenet newsgroup." That covers millions of things in a pretty unhelpful way. Most of them are happily categorised as websites, or online companies.

Manual merge and delete. Most members are probably suitably categorised already, but the lead article and the subcat will need to be upmerged to some parents. Others such as
AT&T Business Internet should be recategorised as ISPs. –

Manual merge and delete per
Fayenatic london above and the rationale from the nominator. This category is too broad and just too vague. It should be manually split as applicable, using Internet instead of online, as applicable (that is, Internet service provider, Internet news purveyor, Internet e-commerce site, search engine, etc.).--

Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unused redundant templates
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.
Nominator's rationale: The name of this category, used for holding
WP:CSD#T3, nominations is as it stands a misrepresentation of policy since the CSD criteria doesn't mention "unused" in any way. See also
Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3 and unused where the deletion log entry was changed to remove unused. --

Support for the reasons stated. Obviously we do not want to delete redundant templates while they are still in use, but renaming this category should not lead anyone to do that. –
