Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only two pages: the head article Construction grammar, and concision. Both are already well-categorised, so no need to merge. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 23:15, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete Also upmerging Category:Sri Lankan Tamil mathematicians. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:47, 16 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Propose deleting:
and all but one of its subcategories
Nominator's rationale: per WP:OCEGRS, WP:NONDEFINING, and WP:SMALLCAT. The one remaining subcategory of the top-level category, Category:African-American mathematicians‎, is omitted from this proposal for two reasons: first, and more importantly, it is already under discussion, but second, I believe that it is qualitatively different, as an ethnic group of mathematicians that is notable as an intersection: there are multiple books about it, and a major national organization for it. In these other cases, that is not true. The subcategories of Arab mathematicians are nationalities (or in the case of "Medieval Arab mathematicians‎", a cultural milieu and one that is central to the history of mathematics) rather than ethnicities, so they can stay as national categories; I have not listed them. The ethnic sub-subcategories of Medieval Arab mathematicians‎ can be considered separately; they're too different from the modern ethnic categories to be considered in the same CfD. Possibly Category:Sri Lankan Tamil mathematicians should be upmerged to Category:Sri Lankan mathematicians rather than simply deleted. — David Eppstein ( talk) 17:21, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: To match the article legal drama. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose unless sibling categories are nominated as well. It is not helpful to have the Indian category named differerently than in other countries. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:16, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose per Marcocapelle. The current title is consistent with all the other subcats of Category:Legal films by country, and the nominator @ Kailash29792 offers no reason to treat India differently.
    Note that not all legal films are dramas, so I would oppose any proposal to rename the full set. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 20:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose as a one-off, but would definitely recommend renaming the entire tree - unless someone points out what illegal films we have articles for on Wikipedia. Grutness... wha? 04:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: All the contents of the parent category is in the immediate area of Boston, making categorization for Boston less relevant. The category still may have been necessary if oversized categories were an issue; however, upmerging this category would keep the parent at 31 pages. 147.161.12.52 ( talk) 08:34, 2 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: keep. Because this is generated by wikiedu, it does not really seem to be in CFD's purview. Ian (Wiki Ed), did you ever get to figure out what was up with this page? bibliomaniac 1 5 03:53, 16 September 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: 1. Category is misspelled (Floirda instead of Florida)

2. Only one page in this category. Jacona ( talk) 13:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Marcocapelle, I have no idea who creates the pages in these categories. I just know that the pages get created on en.wp by some automated process and are overwritten by the version on on some other server (I forget which), so there is nothing we can do to change the category names. Moving the category page will just leave us with a non-empty redlinked category. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 08:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC) reply

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: keep. bibliomaniac 1 5 00:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Contains only the head article Czechoslovak government-in-exile plus one one biog: Arnošt Frischer, who wasn't a member of the govt.
Theoretically, the category could be populated with members of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile ...but the head article lists only two of them, which wouldn't make a viable category. No objection to re-creating the category if and when it can be populated with at least five actual members of the govt. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
Keep Frischer was a member of the legislative body of the government. We also have articles on their military forces (which I've added to the category) and other notable members of the government ( Edvard Benes, for instance) some of whom are listed in the article Cabinet of the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, which I also added to the category. The solution was obviously populating the category, not deleting it. ( t · c) buidhe 11:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • You are right, the British units of the Czechoslovak army were based on an agreement with the government in exile. Then, instead of renaming, create a subcategory for members of the government in exile. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:57, 13 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: The WP:SMALLCAT argument makes no sense, since there is obvious possibility for the creation of more articles within it in the future. Plenty of potential officials, politicians, broadcasters, soldiers etc. who were associated to it. — Brigade Piron ( talk) 14:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep -- This is now parenting two categories and three articles; and there is no obvious merge target. I think it is unkind to say that Czech forces in British pay during WWII were not forces of the exiled government. Even if they were in practice under British orders, three was probably a mechanism for referring to their own government if put upon. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:38, 19 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 11:11, 23 August 2020 (UTC) reply
Propose either:
Nominator's rationale: this is an eponymous category for the Polish Czarniecki family, so if kept it should be renamed to match the head article. The title Czarniecki is about the surname.
However, it would be better to delete the category per WP:SMALLCAT, since it contains only three pages: the head article Czarniecki family, plus two biogs. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 10:20, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete category and stub. General agreement that {{ Kaski-geo-stub}} is the better option. bibliomaniac 1 5 03:56, 16 September 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: What would be its parent category, Category:Kaski district geography stubs is currently upmerged to Category:Gandaki Pradesh geography stubs through {{ Kaski-geo-stub}} because it doesn't have enough articles to merit existence. So, this category is (probably) about a 100 years too early. Propose merging it to the existing (grand-)parent and deleting it. I have chosen "Merge" in Twinkle; what I mean is moving articles to the target and deleting it. Usedtobecool  ☎️ 08:49, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Merge, not enough articles in this stub category. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:43, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose correct me if I'm wrong, but from my vantage point 11 entries is does not qualify as WP:SMALLCAT or "not enough articles" as the above !voter states, unless there is a greater expectation for stub categories. Inter&anthro ( talk) 21:55, 13 July 2020 (UTC) reply
    • @ Inter&anthro: Maintenance categories have different requirements to other categories. Anything under 60 articles is regarded as too small for stubbing purposes. See here. Grutness... wha? 04:53, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Create Category:Kaski district geography stubs and upmerge there. Both category and template (which itself is hardly needed yet) have been created without discussion, but together with {{ Kaski-geo-stub}} there would be about 70 articles. Grutness... wha? 04:53, 14 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • If this number is correct then this is by far the best solution. Marcocapelle ( talk) 03:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 11:12, 23 August 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining - none of the articles in the category that I've looked at (e.g. Bled Castle, Krn, Triglav) even mention this characteristic and Natural monuments of Slovenia/ Natural monument of Slovenia are redlinks. All the articles I checked are categorized more apprpriately (e.g. as a mountain). DexDor (talk) 05:05, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
I agree that much of the tree should probably be CFDed, but a big CFD risks having complications (e.g. people oppose saying its a "trainwreck" rather than for substantive reasons) whilst some editors could still say that they'd prefer an even bigger CFD (e.g. including Category:Cultural monuments of Slovenia etc). The Natural monument article doesn't say much and doesn't say anything about Slovenia. DexDor (talk) 13:23, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
