Nominator's rationale:WP:NONDEF. This was a short-lived wrestling stable. There were only 4 members and it cannot grow larger, so also violated
WP:SMALLCAT.

Nominator's rationale: redirect from a highly ambiguous title (see dab page
AAP). This is a recipe for miscategorisation: if an editor adds
Category:AAP to an article, intending to refer to some other meaning of AAP, the bots will "correct" it to
Category:Aam Aadmi Party ... and the editor who added the category won't know unless they watch the page.

Nominator's rationale:upmerge per
WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category, and the section
Parthia#Under_the_Achaemenids gives the impression that not much is known about this period of Parthian history, for sure it does not contain a list of satraps.

Nominator's rationale:merge, redundant category layer with only the eponymous article and a subcategory.
Marcocapelle (

Merge - Subject of the category isn't really big enough to have it's own category. It only has the eponymous article and a subcategory, proving this fact. Koridas📣 20:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Nominator's rationale:merge for consistency, these are the only amphitheaters categories that are diffused by ancient Roman provinces. More generally, most Roman buildings categories are organized by modern geography.
Marcocapelle (

Support Having checked that there are no amphitheatre articles in Crete, this can go ahead.
Laurel Lodged (

Support No need to divide by Roman provinces instead of geography.

Works about LGBT topics

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per
WP:OVERLAPCAT. A separate Works category is useful in case there also e.g. works of art involved, or when there is enough content to have a separate topic and a set category, but neither is the case here.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 07:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)reply
Oppose - books are works but not mass media (first 4). As for the last one, I much prefer the specific 'Works about X' to the vague 'X in popular culture'.

Of course you are right about books. Withdraw nomination.

Nominator's rationale: "Greater Reading" appears to be an informal area around
Reading, Berkshire, with no defined boundaries. The page
Greater Reading is a disambiguation page, and the term "Greater Reading" is not mentioned in the articles
Reading, Berkshire or
Berkshire. I checked a sample of articles in the two subcats, and they all seem to be adequately categorised in other ways, so I see no need for any merges.
