Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no indication of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As usual, the bar for entry to a dedicated stub category is 60 articles, but there are only 29 here and a list comparison between the relevant parent categories failed to find any other stragglers -- and because the bar is 60 articles, stub categories have to be approved before they can be created, and are not free for just any editor to create on a whim. The template is fine, but should just sort the articles into the appropriate parent categories rather than having its own dedicated stub category for only half as many people as it requires.

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As usual, stub categories require at least 60 articles to be filed in them before they can be created, and are not free for just any editor to create on a whim for just a small handful of articles -- but there are only six people filed here, and a scan of the articles in the Greenlandic people stubs parent failed to find 54 other writers. The template is fine, but should just sort the articles into appropriate parent categories rather than having its own dedicated stub category for just six people.

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: Underpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject Stub Sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any editor to create on a whim for just four or five people, and require there to be 60 articles to be filed in them before their creation is justified, but there are just four people here with no evidence that 56 others can be found to populate it. The Greenlandic sportspeople stubs category, meanwhile, has no other contents besides the handball category, and in fact a stub template has never even been created to file anybody in it with anyway -- and while the general "Greenlandic people" parent does have a small handful of sportspeople in it, that still wouldn't get either category to 60. The handball template is fine, but should just sort people into appropriate parents rather than having its own dedicated stub category for just four people.

Merge per nom. Perhaps, with this low number of articles, even delete the template and merge manually.

Nominator's rationale: Merge as
WP:SMALLCAT. The one by monarch has only 1 sub-cat, so is not useful. After merging that one, the one by designer will likewise have only 1 sub-cat "by architect". –

I wouldn't delete it, but I think I'll nominate the "by monarch(s)" parent for discussion re "building projects by instigator" like the Roman sibling. –

Delete per nom. I vaguely remember, specifically in Sri Lanka, having encountered many more of these empty container categories.

I've picked up the Health hierarchy at
Feb 15. The other categories by district and province are a bit more useful. –

Delete per nom. Wow, a Sri Lanka category that's not divided in Tamil/Sinhalese etc., I'm impressed.

Nominator's rationale: SMALLCAT. Only one of these films
Animal Farm (video) is really defined by the topic anyway, in the other films the topic more of a footnote. The category's creator is also a banned editor.

Merge as only one of the three meets the criteria, the others being a minor part of the films

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT which exists solely to contain a list -- and even the list is almost entirely redlinks with just one exception, so even adding the one bluelinked entry to this category still wouldn't make the category large enough. This would be fine if five or six of the people in the list had their own biographical articles to file here, but it does not aid navigation at all to have a category just to contain a list.

Support per nom, even while a second biography has been added it is still a small category, but merge to parent categories.

Nominator's rationale: recent proliferation of tiny categories with unusual and irrelevant hierarchical organization.
Wikipedia:Category naming does not provide for by region encapsulating by country.
Thanks, added to nomination. As I'd mentioned previously, there will need to be a search and destroy, as not all of them had been properly parented. William Allen Simpson (
