The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:-gate | Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G4 as a re-creation of deleted content | January 11 |
| Category:19th-century national presidents in Africa | delete. I'd have considered a merge but one needs to go up many levels to find a likely target | January 10 |
| Category:2007 aviation accidents and incidents in the United States | Rename | January 23 |
| Category:2010s in architecture | Rename per nominator | January 9 |
| Category:2010s in science and technology | merge Category:2010s in science and technology into Category:2010s in science or Category:2010s in technology | January 9 |
| Category:20th-century American actors | upmerge to Category:20th-century American people and Category:20th-century actors. — | January 30 |
| Category:20th-century American musicians | Delete. Consensus was for eliminating the category. Of those opinions, the consensus was to not upmerge | January 30 |
| Category:21st-century actors | No consensus | January 30 |
| Category:21st-century Canadian people | Delete: | January 25 |
| Category:21st-century female actors | Delete | January 30 |
| Category:21st-century film actors | Upmerge to Category:21st-century actors | January 30 |
| Category:21st-century male actors | Delete | January 30 |
| Category:21st-century television actors | Upmerge to Category:21st-century actors | January 30 |

| Category:Actors involved with the Disney Theme Parks | Delete | January 16 |
| Category:Actors who have served in the military | Delete | January 22 |
| Category:Aerosmith personnel | Nomination withdrawn. non-admin closure | January 20 |
| Category:Afghan football competitions | rename all. I'm going to rename the "Chinese" one as nominated. However, after it's renamed, feel free to nominate this one for renaming. This close should not be interpreted as having reached a consensus on the proper name for the Chinese category. Alternatively, users could simply create a PRC subcategory and also include the "Taiwan" category as a subcategory of the "China" one. | January 29 |
| Category:African American astronauts | Merge: | January 25 |
| Category:African Nations Cup | Rename all | January 11 |
| Category:Airline company headquarters | delete | January 2 |
| Category:Albums produced at The Lodge studio | delete | January 4 |
| Category:All-electric vehicles | no consensus to merge; obviously this needs more thought and work to make it intelligible to the average reader | January 3 |

| Category:Anything Muppet patterns | Delete per nominator. In any case, the category is now empty | January 9 |
| Category:Aoi Nishimata work | rename | January 1 |
| Category:Apocalyptic folk musicians | Speedy keep. Depopulating a category before asking editors to make a decision on the viability of a category amounts to pre-empting consensus, and it places an unfair barrier in the path of editors who want to consider whether to keep or delete the category | January 31 |
| Category:Argentine legal professionals | keep. — | January 30 |
| Category:Articles for any kind of deletion | keep for now, without prejudice to future nominations for rename (or deletion if it turns out to be a bad idea in practice). I note that at this stage the category is uncategorized | January 5 |
| Category:Artistic portrayals of Jesus | Rename Category:Artistic portrayals of Jesus to Category:Depictions of Jesus in interests of consistency with similar categories | January 20 |
| Category:Australasia | DELETE. | January 3 |

| Category:Australian drinking establishments | Rename per nominator | January 15 |
| Category:Avatar (film) | No consensus to either rename or delete, default to keep | January 12 |
| Category:Avatar (film) | Rename to Category:Avatar (2009 film). The previous discussion listed below was no consensus, but this discussion has a very strong consensus for this rename | January 24 |

| Category:Centrism | rename, without prejudice to a new nomination where deletion is proposed | January 1 |

| Category:College football navigational boxes | Merge | January 27 |

| Colleges, schools, and departments by university | no consensus, closed "to allow further discussion of a complex subject", as someone said | January 18 |
| Category:Common Cases in U.S. Legal Education | Delete | January 24 |
| Category:Compact disc copy protection | rename. — | January 23 |
| Category:Compact disc | rename | January 23 |
| Category:Companies based in Ratzeburg | delete. I put the article in Category:Ratzeburg; it's not clear from the discussion here if that should be done or not, but it can be discussed elsewhere. | January 9 |
| Category:Companies based in Suffolk County, New York | Keep | January 14 |
| Category:Confederate states (1861-1865) | Rename to Category:States of the Confederate States of America. | January 19 |

| Category:Estonian athlete-politicians | Speedy keep: withdrawn by nom | January 8 |
| Category:European Capitals of Culture | withdrawn (self-close); I'm happy to have this kept for now. The nomination originated in a misunderstanding on my part. | January 24 |
| Category:European sovereign states | merge Category:European sovereign states to Category:European countries | January 9 |
| Even more rugby union players | speedily rename all; it makes sense to do these because all the others have been recently changed. This is essentially a clean-up. | January 6 |
| Category:Expansion Pak | merge | January 1 |
| Category:Famicom and variants | merge to Category:Nintendo Entertainment System hardware clones. — | January 30 |

| Category:FC Salyut-Energia Belgorod players | rename | January 25 |
| Category:Fellows of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence | Rename | January 23 |
| Category:Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition | administrative close. This nomination has unfortunately been tainted by canvassing—so much so that it is currently beyond the point of it being legitimately representative of much, apart from the opinion of those who were canvassed with a biased message. For those who did, please don't canvass in this manner again. This nomination, discussion, and close now stand for nothing: a fresh renomination can be started at any time. | January 7 |

| Category:Follow That Dream issues | delete | January 2 |
| Food museums in the United States | speedy deleted per author request | January 10 |
| Category:Football (soccer) | Rename. Some of the concerns expressed about the contents can be addressed by updating the introduction to explain what the category contains | January 28 |
| Category:Football competitions in Spain | speedy merge and restore pre-existing category; left a note on creator's page | January 20 |
| Category:Football League of Ireland managers | RENAME. In addition to the comments below that this rename matches the category to its parent article, it also matches it to all of the other existing subcategories in Category:League of Ireland. If there is an ambiguity problem, all of those categories need to be addressed as well. | January 13 |
| Category:Football League of Ireland players | Rename | January 13 |
| Category:France – United Kingdom border crossings | Keep | January 14 |
| Category:Gayaza | merge | January 1 |
| Gender-specific college athletic teams | Rename per nom except Clemson and Texas Tech. The latter two should be: renamed Category:Clemson University athletics to Category:Clemson Tigers and left intact, respectively | January 3 |
| Category:Geordie Dialect Authors | Rename to Category:Authors writing in dialects from England. Let's see if this does a better job. While there was support for deletion, there was also support for a refocusing and a rename. This new category can be brought back here in the future for a rename or deletion if there is still a problem | January 13 |
| Category:Gian Lorenzo Bernini | Delete. We don't create eponymous categories for people unless there's a good reason to do so, and it seems no such reason has been presented | January 11 |
| Category:Glamour models navbox templates | rename | January 6 |
| Category:Governorates of the Grand Duchy of Finland | Delete | January 11 |
| Category:Great Lakes Bowl | Delete | January 3 |
| Category:Green Hornet films | delete | January 8 |
| Category:Guadalupe River | rename. – | January 5 |
| Category:Gurjar | do not rename. As for using "Gurjar" vs. "Gujjar", there seems to be no consensus here to make the change, but perhaps a dedicated nomination to rename to Category:Gujjar to match the article would clarify this. | January 18 |

| Historic constituencies in Ireland | rename | January 7 |
| Category:Home Living | Rename Category:Home Living to Category:WikiProject Home Living article by quality | January 26 |
| Category:Homophobia | no consensus for the proposed rename. However, because consistent consensus has been to delete categories that label people, organizations, media, etc. as "homophobic" (see, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) no articles for allegedly homophobic people (including fictional people), organizations, or media should exist in this category. I also note that there are serious WP:BLP concerns with adding this category to articles about living people. If this restriction cannot be adhered to, users can notify me and we can go from there. | January 18 |

today's CfD page |
January 25 |
| Ice hockey players by century | delete or merge as nominated | January 9 |
| Category:Iconography of Jesus | no consensus. I think the nominator had the best points. This could probably use some more discussion, especially after the discussion immediately below is resolved one way or the other. | January 20 |
| Independent politicians | Rename to "Independent politicians in foo", as proposed here | January 20 |
| Category:Indian Swedenborgians | NO CONSENSUS. Re: Peterkingiron's comment, the whole -by nationality structure should be nominated/discussed at once based on that rationale. | January 15 |
| Category:Infoboxes in need of more info | Speedily deleted at request of creator. Empty category, and I was the only other editor | January 1 |
| Category:International businesspeople | delete | January 1 |
| Category:International lawyers | delete | January 4 |
| Category:International sports programs | Delete., | January 11 |
| IPFW athletics, round 2 | Rename | January 6 |
| Irish politicians by party | rename Category:Democratic Left politicians (Ireland) to Category:Democratic Left (Ireland) politicians; no consensus on the second one. It sounds like a broader nomination for independent politicians would be helpful b/c the current format is inconsistent. (Categories weren't tagged, by the way, but I'm not going to worry about this too much b/c the change being made is slight and will bring the category into conformity with most other politicians categories.) | January 6 |
| Category:Jason Bourne films | delete | January 8 |
| Category:Jaws | Rename | January 5 |
| Jewish artists | Merge | January 16 |
| Category:Journalism jobs | Rename. 08:43, 4 February 2010 (UTC) | January 28 |
| Category:Julius Nyerere | keep. Count is now ten articles which seems fine and is twice as many as the five which the nominator said would have given pause to the nomination | January 9 |

| Category:List of companies of Canada | speedied as C1 and A10 | January 28 |
| Category:Lists of paintings | Rename | January 16 |
| Category:Localities in New South Wales | keep. I've put the former contents back into this category ( Merrywinebone, New South Wales, Sodwalls, New South Wales, and Springrange, New South Wales), but obviously some more work will be required by someone who knows their way around the current category structure to work it into what currently exists. | January 18 |
| Category:London Overground stations | rename | January 2 |
| Category:Los Angeles Chargers stadiums | Merge | January 20 |
| Category:Louisville (NFL) seasons | no consensus. I was going to relist this one, but in light of the confusing nature of it all and the inappropriateness of the initial suggestion and the subsequent suggestions for possible better names, I think a well-thought-out renomination might be the best way to go for resolving this. | January 8 |
| Category:Luelinks | Procedural close. Category:Luelinks doesn't exist and has never existed, so there is nothing to discuss at CFD | January 17 |
| Category:Macedonians in Australia | Delete | January 27 |
| Category:Malaysian Sunni Muslims | merge and redirect Category:Malaysian Sunni Muslims to Category:Malaysian Muslims. Alansohn's objection should be met by the retention of the now-emptied category as a redirect | January 24 |
| Category:Male canoeists | No consensus | January 26 |
| Category:Male rugby footballers | Merge/delete as proposed | January 7 |
| Malian theatre | Speedy rename per

| Category:Mayors of North York | Rename | January 15 |
| Category:Media in Burlington, Iowa | SPEEDY DELETE as empty, and/or as a test/maintenance deletion; this was a category that was misused as an article. All information it contained is already in the article noted below. | January 1 |
| Category:Media in Uganda | merge. Category may be re-created as a redirect. | January 1 |
| Category:Members of Le Splendid | delete. Users may contact me for a list of the former contents of this category for future listification purposes | January 2 |

| Category:Members of the Spanish Popular Party | rename to Category:People's Party (Spain) politicians. — | January 30 |
| Category:Members of the United Kingdom Special Constabularies | Rename. If there is a strong opinion about deleting, the category can be nominated for deletion after the rename | January 12 |
| Category:Merited Artists of Albania | withdrawn. My mistake, category only contained two pages at the time of nominating (one being a WikiProject). — | January 6 |
| Category:Minister of Housing (New Zealand) | rename to Category:Ministers of Housing (New Zealand). | January 27 |
| Category:Miss Angola | Keep | January 12 |

| More locomotives | rename to Category:Locomotives of Prussia and convert into a "by country" category. A "by railway" subcategory may be created if needed. | January 6 |
| More rugby union players | speedy rename all. It makes sense to do these immediately that the vast majority of them are already renamed in this way. These are essentially left-overs from the previous nominations. | January 5 |

January 19 |
| Category:Musicians who have served in the military | Delete. There is no question that serving in the military was an important influence in the career of some of the categorized musicians listed here. However, grouping together all musicians who have served in the military, despite how small the influence the military career had on them, is effectively categorization by trivial intersection. No objective standard for restricting the category to the most prominent examples has been suggested. Someone did suggest listification; if anyone wants to create a referenced list of the people here, contact me on my talk page and I can provide you with the list of articles included | January 13 |
| Category:Muslim nuclear physicists | Delete | January 13 |
| Category:Nanotech Age | Delete | January 30 |
| NASCAR race categories | Merge per nom. Yes, I commented in the discussion, but not about this proposal. As I read the discussion, there is support for this merger and also for a cleanup of categories in this area. So approving this merge clears the table for a possible larger discussion. I'll note that there are some issues with the first one, but that can be cleared up by a separate rename discussion if needed | January 26 |
| National Basketball Association owners | No consensus to merge. The discussion is divided on whether subcategorizing by team helps navigation. A list can of course be created and can co-exist with the categories | January 3 |
| Category:Naturalised citizens of Belgium | Merge Category:People with acquired Belgian citizenship into Category:Naturalised citizens of Belgium | January 22 |

| Category:Northern and Shell Network | rename for now. If the article name changes, it can be renamed back. | January 1 |
| Category:Norway national men's ice hockey team coaches | rename Category:Norway national men's ice hockey team coaches to Category:Norway men's national ice hockey team coaches to match parent article | January 24 |

| Category:Official journals | Rename to Category:Government gazettes per discussion | January 18 |
| Category:Ohio Junior Classical League | Delete | January 14 |
| Category:Operalia | it isn't over until the Fat Lady sings, or the skinny, speccy, balding, big-eared Scot types as, the case may be. OCAT seems fairly clear. There's limited enthusiasm for keeping the category and it's already in a list. So we'll delete it for now | January 7 |
| Category:Other matters related to requests for adminship | rename to Category:Matters related to requests for adminship | January 5 |
| Outkast | Don't rename either, as the article has been moved back | January 17 |
| Category:Pages with an EasyTimeline map | delete | January 1 |
| Category:Parliament of Ireland constituencies in County Kilkenny | merge per amended nomination. The creator has performed everything already; I'll just delete the empty Category:Parliament of Ireland constituencies in County Kilkenny. | January 7 |
| Category:Pasadena Playhouse alumni | delete. The nominator's rationale and comments of 2010-01-11 05:20 UTC are not addressed by the comments in favour of keeping the category | January 10 |
| Category:Peabody Mason artists | Delete | January 12 |
| Category:People associated with the 2010 Haiti earthquake | NO CONSENSUS. As long as a category exists, any editor can be bold and decide that an article does or doesn't belong in it, so appropriate pruning does not need a mandate from CFD. Otherwise, it's best to come back and discuss deletion again (if you're so inclined) when the subject is not still all over the headlines. | January 14 |
| Category:People associated with the 2010 Haiti earthquake | Procedural close. A CfD discussion on this category was closed only a few hours ago. There was a consensus to revisit this category after some time has passed, so I am closing this debate. However, there is nothing to stop the creation of a new sub-category for victims of the earthquake | January 24 |
| Category:People associated with the hippie movement | Delete | January 27 |
| Category:People by province in Finland | Rename Category:People from Lapland Province to Category:People from Lapland (Finland), and Delete the others (per nominator). I'm closing this discussion two hours early, but since 4 editors support the nomination and nobody opposes it, consenus seems clear | January 3 |
| Category:People descendant from Northern Ireland | rename Category:People descendant from Northern Ireland to Category:People with Northern Ireland ancestry. Your closer would have voted for Category:People of Irish descent as while it may be plausible for one entity to be born in a stable without being a horse, when you have hundreds of thousands of the stable-born to categorise it does begin to seem like horse is very likely the word you're looking for | January 21 |

| Category:People from Lilongwe, Malawi | rename | January 13 |
| Category:People from Marbella, Spain | redirected to the existing category. Having expressed a previous preference in this discussion, I'd normally have left this one alone for someone else to close. But as it turns out, the one and only article that was in the disambiguated category, Ulf Ekberg, failed to even support the category being there in the first place — the category link itself was the only mention of either Marbella or Spain in the entire article. So it had to be removed as unsourced, leaving the category empty anyway. Further, the tally here was 3 to 1 — and even the one who preferred a reverse merge the other way said that the proposal as nominated was also acceptable to them. If somebody feels strongly enough that comma-Spain really needs to be present in the category name, however, then by all means renominate if you wish | January 22 |

| Category:Political repression in Venezuela | delete. Those in favour of deletion have offered a number of strong reasons for their opinions. Those in favour of keeping have not offered arguments of comparable strength (i.e., they are variants of WP:USEFUL, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the topic "deserves a category", "all information is POV", etc.) I also note that inappropriate canvassing has taken place here, which I've taken into account when assessing users' comments. | January 23 |

| Category:Prize-winners of the Besançon Conducting Competition | administrative close. Although this nomination doesn't seem to have been in fact tainted as much by canvassing as some of the related discussions on this page, I feel that it too should be administratively closed like the others, since extensive canvassing has taken place regarding it. For those who did, please don't canvass in this manner again. This nomination, discussion, and close now stand for nothing: a fresh renomination can be started at any time. | January 7 |
| Category:Prize-winners of the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition | administrative close. This nomination has unfortunately been tainted by canvassing—so much so that it is currently beyond the point of it being legitimately representative of much, apart from the opinion of those who were canvassed with a biased message. For those who did, please don't canvass in this manner again. This nomination, discussion, and close now stand for nothing: a fresh renomination can be started at any time. | January 7 |

| Category:Recluses | delete. I considered posting a list of category members at Talk:Recluse, but decided against it after discovering that the article Recluse at one time did include a long list of recluses, which was removed after talk page discussion due to concerns about WP:BLP and original research. If anyone still would like to have the list of category members, I can easily provide it; just let me know... – | January 1 |
