Nominator's rationale: What is this? Either you are a person who studies
physical cosmology or you are a
philosopher whose work touches upon questions that are related. Perhaps you are a proponent of a particular
religious cosmology, but as a subject "Philosophical cosmology" doesn't exist. This can be seen as our redirect from
philosophical cosmology goes straight to the umbrella article
cosmology.

The Moscow Times is an English-language newspaper in Russia. The only thing in the category is that main article, an image file already in that same article's infobox, and
Category:The Moscow Times people, which I just created. (No objection to recreating this category if we ever get up to 5+ articles.) -

Nominator's rationale: arbitrary intersection between country and colour of medal. The standard categories for Olympic medallists are "Medalists at the X Olympics" and "Olympic Y medalists for Z", we don't have separate categories intersecting the two. Seems like an

Merge as seems to be a random intersection - no other sets for China from different Games, and no other gold / silver / bronze sets from 2016, nor from any other year as far as I am aware. That inconsistency has also created other issues, e.g
Qin Kai (diver) should have Olympic bronze medalists for China to reflect his 2008 ranking, but the bronze was just changed to the 2016 wording so it looks like he only won bronze on that occasion, and
Zhang Nan (badminton) has 2016 Olympic gold medalists for China and 2016 Olympic bronze medalists for China but also still has the standard Medalists at the 2016 Summer Olympics which should have been removed. those are the only 2 articles I checked and found those, so it's likely they are widespread across the set. So, randomly created and not expanded upon since 2016 (despite surviving a CfD that year on the basis that the idea was sound and could be applied to other large groups of medallists) and does not follow subcategorisation rules, partly because its still the only set of its kind 7 years later - the USA has been subcatted into medal colour and event and there was some interactions created for water polo, but all others have no intersection. Should be merged for now until someone wants to create a more comprehensive tree, ideally for every large nation across every Games but at least for many at one Games or one nation at many Games.
