The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:130s establishments in Israel | Speedy delete C1 | December 30 |
| Category:131 establishments in Israel | Speedy delete C1 | December 30 |
| Category:1856 in Washington D.C. | Speedy delete | December 6 |
| Category:1900s drama film stubs | merge category, but keep template. There was a weak consensus to upmerge the category, but persuasive argument that this category might be viable in the future. Keeping the template allows that to be done easily | December 11 |
| Category:1917 Russian Revolution | rename all | December 28 |
| Category:1978 in Zimbabwe | Rename/merge. Note that not all of these were tagged, but given the history of this type of request, approval seems like a given. It will take a while to get these done since it is a manual process | December 20 |
| Category:2013 disestablishments in the Palestinian territories | speedy delete per WP:CSD#C1 | December 30 |
| Category:320s disestablishments in Israel | Speedy delete C1 | December 30 |
| Category:Aboriginal Australian health | relisted at CFD 2014 January 16 | December 22 |
| Category:Aboriginal Canadian Health | Rename | December 17 |
| Category:Absent Friends (band) | delete | December 5 |
| Actors from Manhattan | Upmerge both | December 11 |
| Category:Adoption, fostering, orphan care and displacement | NO CONSENSUS, although there is some general dissatisfaction with the cat as it stands. A discussion elsewhere seems to be needed to work out how to dispose the articles better | December 17 |
| Category:Adult video games | MERGE to Category:Erotic video games then DELETE. Seems harmless enough | December 17 |
| Category:Advanced practice nursing journals | MERGE to Category:Nursing journals. However, I have some concern that there is a touch of inward-looking thought from CfD here, without really listening to the growth arguments. Today, for example, there are 8 articles in the category, although it does seem that some of them are slightly unexpected. Therefore, I would qualify my closure here as "without prejudice" to allow the fact that the principal upmerge argument might come to be invalid over time | December 28 |
| Category:AfC pending submissions by age/28 days ago | delete all, without prejudice to re-creation if and when the relevant template(s) are changed to bring them into use | December 9 |
| Category:African people of Arab descent | no consensus. There were two main issues at stakes here, and there appears to be no consensus on either of them: | December 4 |
| Category:Ageing journals | Rename | December 22 |
| Category:Agronomists from Florida | Merge | December 11 |
| Category:Alltel | keep and repopulate | December 2 |
| Category:American covers musical groups | Rename, without prejudice for recreating this category if the target does get to be too big | December 26 |
| Category:American designers by state | MERGE to targets as indicated, and DELETE Category:American designers by state. The debate does not persuade any who would merge that the per-state categories are useful since they capture so many different types of designer at too fine a level of detail. The general "your behaviour is bad", "no, yours is bad" stuff is not useful to a closing admin, I promise | December 4 |
| Category:American female billionaires | delete | December 5 |
| American films by date | delete all. Merger is desirable, but the articles involved are already in all the relevant target categories | December 23 |
| Category:American football club matches | rename | December 7 |
| Category:American Idol episodes | merge | December 30 |
| Category:American Latter Day Saint hymnwriters | NO CONSENSUS. See above for rationale | December 1 |
| Category:American women company founders | MERGE to both Category:Women company founders and Category:American company founders (and then DELETE Category:American women company founders) | December 5 |
| Category:American women graphic designers | no action. The category has already been speedy deleted as empty | December 3 |
| Category:American women textile artists | MERGE Category:American women textile artists to Category:American textile artists and DELETE Category:Women textile artists and Category:Women textile artists by nationality, i.e. as per nomination. There is little support for outright retention here; and there is the matter of irrationality of having women but not men categories. It seems like this family of categories has other problems besides, and may benefit from a reboot editorially | December 24 |
| Category:Amusement rides manufactured by Prime Play | Rename | December 2 |
| Category:Andrew Wade | delete | December 28 |
| Category:Anglican deans of the United Kingdom | Merge | December 20 |
| Category:Animal impersonators | delete | December 30 |
| Category:Anti-Catholic organizations | NO CONSENSUS. This is a borderline case. However, I have limited sympathy with arguments to do with using it as an 'attack category', or trying for some sort of 'pro' version (which would surely have POV issues from the get go), because there are perfectly reasonable articles which can, and should, be categorised here, as pointed out by Elaqueate and co. Therefore, weighing the arguments, I do not find that there is a consensus for deletion | December 16 |
| Category:Anti-Catholic politicians | Delete | December 16 |
| Category:Arthur Loves Plastic remix albums | NO CONSENSUS. It seems impossible to discern a decision from this discussion, although I have some sympathy with the (in)significance argument in favour of deletion | December 11 |
| Category:Arthur Loves Plastic soundtracks | Delete | December 11 |
| Category:Assistant United States Attorneys | NO CONSENSUS | December 13 |
| Category:Australia navigational boxes | Merge | December 18 |
| Category:Australian anglican bishop stubs | rename | December 6 |
| Category:Bands featuring former members of Phish | Delete | December 17 |
| Category:Bengali Hindus | NO CONSENSUS. I read the discussion after the original re-list as more illuminating than before it. It seems that the suggested merge would not provide a proper outcome, and I of course note the AfD keep, also. Therefore, overall, there is not a stable opinion that this should be deleted or merged | December 19 |
| Category:Bengali intellectuals killed in 1971 | MERGE to Category:People killed in the Bangladesh Liberation War. This is marginal tending to delete, but does not quite have the convergence of opinion that looks like a rough consensus - however, there is agreement that the category should not remain as it is, and a good target has been identified that seems like the real meaning of the category anyway | December 8 |
| Category:Best Picture Academy Award winners | no consensus | December 28 |
| Category:Billing authorities in England | NO CONSENSUS. Significantly, the nomination basis is largely voided by the use of the term in legislation, although I do note the minimal use of the term in related articles. I would say this no consensus is without prejudice to a later re-nomination given the change of circumstances | December 9 |
| Category:Birds of Prey (TV series) | delete | December 3 |
| Category:Birds of Ukraine and others | no consensus. No clear consensus was reached here, and in any case no categories were tagged with {{
subst:cfd}}, so any agreement here would have been invalid. Editors may wish to open a discussion at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds about what to do with these categories before returning to CFD with a valid nomination which lists all the affected categories, tags them, and clarifies the intended effect of the proposal |
December 22 |
| Category:Blart | delete | December 28 |
| Category:Bodies of water around Rockaway, Queens | Delete | December 14 |
| Category:Bollywood actors launched in 90's | Merge | December 1 |
| Category:Bonkers (TV series) | NO CONSENSUS. I think normally this would be a delete, however the participation even after a relisting is very small, and BrownHairedGirl has a very fair point. Since the media files are still with us, the "too small" problem does not seem to exist... yet | December 25 |
| Category:Bonspiels | KEEP, i.e. no change. It seems to have been accepted that a bonspiel is one part of a competition, thus neither direction of merge would be appropriate, and the current categorisation is fine. (I don't understand the final keep point - this is not the Simple Wikipedia!) | December 17 |
| Category:Bonspiels | relisted at CFD 2013 December 17 | December 7 |
| Category:Book 'Life is Worth Swimming by Murray Rose' | Delete | December 2 |
| Category:Books about Australian Aborigines | Rename | December 22 |
| Category:Boston Legal characters | DELETE, noting also that the cross-referenced TfD was a delete | December 14 |
| Category:Brotherhood_(2006_TV_series) | Delete | December 28 |
| Category:Brunonen Dynasty | no consensus. There is clearly disagreement about whether the head article is named correctly, and although no RM discussion has been opened, some references have been posted at Talk:Brunonids#Some_sources. I encourage interested editors to try to reach a consensus on the most appropriate name for the head article, and to feel free to open a fresh CFD nomination when that process has run its course.(Pinging CFD participants: | December 26 |
| Category:Buffyverse powers | Delete | December 21 |
| Category:Buffyverse time travel episodes | merge to Category:Time travel television episodes and Category:Buffyverse time travel stories | December 2 |
| Category:Bungeling Empire trilogy | DELETE, since merging is redundant | December 20 |
| Category:Carry On films | no consensus | December 28 |
| Category:Chapter 9 bankruptcies | MERGE. But we cannot delete both here, since the latter was not nominated, tagged, etc. As an editorial matter, I am going to make the original nomination a soft redirect, because I see a high probability of recreation otherwise - let's be honest the target category name is way to verbose to be most normal persons' first attempt! | December 30 |
| Category:Chemical insecticides | merge to Category:Insecticides, which appears to be unstated intent of the discussion | December 31 |
| Category:Child's Play characters | merge to both parents, i.e Category:Horror film characters and Category:Child's Play (film series) | December 1 |
| Category:Chinese interpreter stubs | DELETE. The proposal to create the new category and template(s) is an editorial matter not needing a CfD mandate | December 12 |
| Category:Copper company stubs | Create new category, upmerge this one there | December 17 |
| Category:Countries bordering water bodies | delete all | December 3 |
| Category:Court system of Balochistan, Pakistan | merge both, to both parents | December 29 |
| Category:Court system of Balochistan, Pakistan |  Relisted at
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 29 |
December 19 |
| Category:Court systems of Afghanistan | Withdrawn for alternative strategy of expansion | December 19 |
| Category:Crnomelj geography stubs | Merge | December 18 |
| Category:Delicacies | Delete. It appears that the consensus is that this is too subjective to make a useful category. Listification may be useful; a full list of the category's current content can be found at | December 15 |
| Democracy movements | Rename all | December 9 |
| Category:Destroyed extraterrestrial probes | rename | December 16 |
| Category:Documentary films about intersexuality | Rename | December 20 |
| Category:Donald Trump | keep | December 10 |
| Category:Downtempo soundtracks | DELETE. It's long-since empty and lingering only because of this CfD | December 11 |
| Category:Earth Impact Database | keep | December 14 |
| Category:Earthless albums | Delete | December 19 |
| Category:Eastern Romance people and Category:History of Eastern Romance people | Keep both | December 10 |
| Category:Elite Guard | merge | December 1 |
| Category:Extraterrestrial landers | rename | December 16 |
| Category:Extraterrestrial probes | merge to Category:Space probes | December 16 |
| Category:Fans of the Silver Falcons | delete | December 3 |
| Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovene Wikipedia | reverse merge, but cannot be implemented unless and until the server is reconfigured. Meanwhile, there is no point in having duplicate categories, so I will implement the merge as nominated. Feel free to rename the resulting category if and when he server is updated |
December 14 |
| Category:Female Anglican bishops in Australia | already merged by category creator. ( NAC) | December 1 |
| Category:Female cinematographers | RENAME to Category:Women cinematographers | December 23 |
| Category:Female television directors | RENAME to Category:Women television directors (but to me, this sounds flagrantly ungrammatical) | December 23 |
| Category:Fictional characters by ethnicity | weak consenus to rename, but no consensus on splitting | December 31 |
| Category:Fictional killers | manual merge to Category:Fictional characters by behavioral attribute. There is clear consensus to get rid of this category, but the discussion did not take much account of what would happen to the artuicles currently categorised here. So I will implement the closure as a manual merge: merge the subcats to Category:Fictional characters by behavioral attribute, and manually recategorise the articles | December 19 |
| Category:Film editors from Oregon | MERGE to Category:American film editors | December 12 |
| Category:Films about intersexuality | Rename | December 20 |
| Category:Films released posthumously | Delete | December 18 |
| Category:First Nations languages with mobile apps | DELETE ALL. The discussion is clearly decisive; I attach minimal weight to Til Eulenspiegel's opening remarks, I'm afraid | December 16 |
| Category:Fish sauce | Rename | December 18 |
| Category:Flavour N'abania | delete | December 9 |
| Category:Floorball Championships | rename | December 16 |
| Fooian revolutionaries | no consensus | December 23 |
| Category:Former feminists | MERGE as nominated; there seems minimal support for retaining this particular 'formers' | December 21 |
| Category:Former Government Ministers of Tanzania | Upmerge | December 17 |
| Category:Former Janata Party politicians | MERGE to Category:Janata Party politicians, seems to be an all-round supportable outcome | December 17 |
| Category:Former Marxists | NO CONSENSUS. There seems to be no way to combine all the disparate views toward a consensual outcome here. However, the points relating to the relative significance of disclaiming such a prominent theory/ideology are pretty good - it does not seem adequate in all cases to say "because there would be a case where permitting this as precedent would produce an unacceptable catetgory" means we should delete these ones. Different situations, different outcomes is OK | December 17 |
| Category:Former members of the French Communist Party | Delete | December 17 |
| Category:Fuzors | delete | December 1 |
| Category:Gala Fairydean F.C. | rename | December 2 |
| Category:General elections by country | NO CONSENSUS. Although there seems general agreement that something should be done, there is no clear direction on what it should be | December 1 |
| Category:Genndy Tartakovsky | delete | December 10 |
| Category:Geography of West Java | merge to both parents | December 30 |
| Category:Government in Slovenia | NO CONSENSUS | December 18 |
| Category:Green Lantern television series | merge to Category:Green Lantern in other media | December 3 |
| Category:Grote Prijs van Zolder | Speedy deletion. C1 — | December 24 |
| Category:Harper's Island episodes | merge to Category:Lists of drama television series episodes | December 2 |
| Category:Harry Weese structures | Merge | December 18 |
| Category:Heads of state of Bangladesh | delete | December 12 |
| Category:Heavy metal groups discographies | no consensus. The parent is Category:Rock music group discographies, and we also have Category:Punk rock groups discographies, so some standardisation is needed. My initial thought was to relist this discussion, but since no outcome of this discussion can produce consistency, I will now open a new procedural nomination of all 3 categories | December 22 |
| Category:Hellcats episodes | delete. There is agreement that a category of episodes is is un-needed, since its possible content is the List of Hellcats episodes and the pilot A World Full of Strangers. There was no agreement on the suggestion to rename and repurpose the category as a general category for the series, but the objection that such a category would fail WP:SMALLCAT is grounded in policy, so I weigh that as a consensus to delete | December 27 |
| Category:Hellcats episodes | Relisted at
Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 27 |
December 10 |
| Historical societies | RENAME to [[:Category:Historical societies of Foo, seems agreeable among the participants | December 1 |
| Category:House arrest | delete | December 2 |
| Category:Impact Wrestling | merge to Category:Total Nonstop Action Wrestling television programs | December 1 |
| Category:Inactive extraterrestrial land probes | rename | December 16 |
| Category:Inactive extraterrestrial probes | rename per nom | December 16 |
| Category:Indigenous Australians from Western Australia | no consensus | December 16 |
| Category:Infermiera films | MERGE to Category:Commedia sexy all'italiana | December 25 |
| Category:International aquatic competitions hosted in Spain | RENAME to Category:Aquatic competitions in Spain (and speedy the empty nominated target) | December 31 |
| Category:International badminton competitions hosted in Spain | Rename per nom. If the convention in the tree should be changed, then that is a new discussion | December 2 |
| Category:International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association | KEEP. I accept BrownHairedGirl's argument that the nomination reason is flawed, and I find no space in Wikipedia policies for the general thrust of Peterkingiron's reasoning. I also note that several of the articles mentioned as potential members are now bluelinks, so the triviality argument has not withstood the test of time | December 20 |
| Category:Internet woman personalities | merge | December 3 |
| Category:Intersex-related awards | Delete | December 20 |
| Category:Intersexuality in fiction | Rename | December 20 |
| Category:Intersexuality literature | RENAME to Category:Intersex literature | December 29 |
| Category:Intersexuality literature | Relisted at

December 20 |
| Category:Intersexuality | Rename | December 20 |
| Category:Islands of the New Siberian Islands | merge to Category:New Siberian Islands | December 7 |
| Category:Jacques Dutronc | delete | December 2 |
| Category:Japanese former expatriate footballers | Merge | December 17 |
| Category:Jewish-Christian debate | NO CONSENSUS. The debate does not seem to converge in any direction on any of the topics that are raised for discussion | December 25 |
| Category:Jochen Rindt Memorial Trophy | delete | December 18 |
| Joe 90 | keep Category:Joe 90, and upmerge the episodes | December 3 |
| Category:Kerrville New Folk Competition finalists | delete | December 9 |
| Category:Kim family | rename to Category:Kim dynasty (North Korea) per head article Kim dynasty (North Korea) | December 27 |
| Category:Kings of Georgia (country) | keep (i.e. do not rename) | December 2 |
| Category:Kōji Seo | relisted at CFD 2014 January 16 | December 22 |
| Category:Latter Day Saint art and culture | no consensus. The nominator should feel free to create the suggested new categories as subcats, and open a new CFd to propose the merger or deletion of this category | December 22 |
| Category:Liberal parties in the United States | keep | December 29 |
| Category:Linux office suite software | MERGE to Category:Office suites for Linux | December 25 |
| Category:List of Annular lakes | rename | December 13 |
| Category:List of upcoming Pakistani films | close: already being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 8. -- | December 9 |
| Category:List of upcoming Pakistani films | Merge into Category:Pakistani films | December 8 |
| Category:Lists of DC Comics | merge to Category:DC Comics-related lists | December 4 |
| Category:Lists of tallest buildings in Massachusetts by city | Merge | December 24 |
| Category:Liza Minnelli soundtracks | KEEP. Though it sounds very much as if some serious work is needed if this is not face another deletion nomination before too long | December 11 |
| Category:Low-radiation smartphones | delete | December 31 |
| Category:Martial arts films by country | keep | December 2 |
| Category:Members of Parliament in Bangladesh | MERGE to Category:Members of the Jatiyo Sangshad (and redirect) | December 12 |
| Merge the entire Lawsuits tree into the Case Law tree | withdrawn by nominator, who has opened a wider discussion at WikiProject Law | December 15 |
| Merging 3 Small Case Law by Party Categories | upmerge the Nintendo and Unification Church categories | December 15 |
| Category:Mexican Legislative Branch of Government | NO CONSENSUS. But I would note that the category names as they stand seem clearly unsatisfactory. I suggest an editorial decision is taken following discussion within a relevant Wikiproject or similar | December 16 |
| Category:Military actions and engagements during the Troubles (1969-1998) | RENAME to ' Category:Military actions and engagements during the Troubles (Northern Ireland). There is evident consensus to rename (and the need is obvious), but not precisely on what to. However, I think there is agreement on adding (Northern Ireland) to the name amongst almost all participants, but not to further add the years of applicability, and the parent category does not do so either | December 13 |
| Category:Military space program of the United States | Keep | December 15 |
| Category:Mobile phone operating systems | MERGE to Category:Mobile operating systems | December 16 |
| Category:Models from Florida | Keep, with no prejudice against nominating it with all the other categories from the other states | December 10 |
| Category:Modern impact events | rename to
Category:Modern Earth impact events. There is a consensus that the current name is inadequate, but less agreement on what to do about it. There seems to be a consensus that the category should be restricted to earth impact events, so I am closing with a renaming to clarify that scope. However there is no consensus on whether the category should be restricted to the modern era (whether defined as [[modern history[[ or as the quaternary period of the geologic time scale). Editors may wish to open a further discussion on whether to broaden the category beyond the modern era (however defined), and this may be done without delay |
December 5 |
| Category:Mongol peoples | keep | December 26 |
| Category:Mongolian monarchs | rename all to "rulers" | December 27 |
| More LDS hymnwriters by nationality | NO CONSENSUS. This and the American-only debate, even taken together, do not adequately converge on how to handle the nominated categories, so perhaps a discussion elsewhere is needed to settle the question | December 1 |
| Category:Murdered Persian monarchs | relisted at CFD 2014 January 16 | December 23 |
| Category:Muslim generals | delete | December 4 |
| Category:Muslim warriors | delete | December 4 |
| Category:New South Wales City rugby league team players | speedy rename per
WP:C2D. The head article has been stable at City New South Wales rugby league team since it was moved to that title in 2011 |
December 3 |
| Category:NHL Winter Classic hosts | delete | December 6 |
| Category:NN Serpentis | delete | December 26 |
| Category:Novels about intersexuality | Rename to Category:Novels about intersex | December 20 |
| Category:Nursing scholarships | delete | December 28 |
| Category:Odd Grenland | Rename all | December 16 |
| Category:Omak, Washington-related lists | MERGE as nomination (and then DELETE) | December 24 |
| Category:Optical companies of India | result | December 2 |
| Category:Oregon politicians who changed parties | Delete | December 19 |
| Category:OS X office suite software | MERGE to Category:Office suites for OS X, but this has been done already, so I'll delete | December 25 |
| Category:Pacific Typhoon Season | delete | December 16 |
| Category:Pakistan Post | merge to Category:Postal system of Pakistan | December 28 |
| Category:Palestine in World War II | Rename | December 2 |
| Category:People associated with cinema | MERGE to Category:Film people. As a general remark, I think this discussion should have been handled by the/a relevant Wikiproject, rather than a pro-forma creation only for the purpose of immediate deletion. It just creates work | December 12 |
| Category:People convicted of animal pornography offenses | RENAME to Category:People convicted of sex crimes. There is not consensus to delete, but where to merge? Since BrownHairedGirl's suggestion exists I will choose that | December 3 |
| Category:People from Bellwood, Pennsylvania | merge | December 28 |
| Category:People from Coalmont, Pennsylvania | merge | December 29 |
| Category:People from Galesburg, Michigan | Merge, retain category redirect | December 19 |
| Category:People from Ocean Shores, Washington | MERGE to Category:People from Grays Harbor County, Washington. I am minded to say this could have been done as a bold single edit, followed by a formal speedy | December 30 |
| Category:People from Otavalo, Ecuador | merge | December 4 |
| Category:People from Petersburg, Pennsylvania | RELIST is unavoidable here | December 28 |
| Category:People from Union, Mississippi | NO CONSENSUS | December 2 |
| Category:People made famous by their deaths | delete | December 8 |
| Category:People who found out later in life that they are of Jewish descent | delete. I'll upmerge the members into a relevant subcat of Category:People of Jewish descent if they aren't already there | December 18 |
| Category:People with nocturnal enuresis | delete | December 30 |
| Category:Persian noble families | relisted at CFD 2014 January 16 | December 25 |
| Category:Pet amphibians (etc) | purge species articles, then see what's left. Feel free to make a new nomination without delay once the purge is complete | December 29 |
| Category:Pet arthropods | Delete all | December 18 |
| Category:Pet molluscs | delete | December 8 |
| Category:Petoleum in Yemen | delete | December 30 |
| Category:Pogrom victims | Delete. As has been pointed out, we generally do not keep categories with one entry if they are not a part of a series. If there are more members at a later date where this is defining, the category can be recreated | December 20 |
| Category:Pogrom victims | relisted at CFD 2013 December 20 | December 5 |
| Category:Pornographic film actors of Spanish ethnicity | DELETE | December 8 |
| Category:Pornographic Magazine stubs | rename | December 11 |
| Prehistoric categories by country (Georgia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia & Southeast Asia) | merge and rename all as nominated, except for Hungary. Hungary seems to raise some different issues, and I am not persuaded that there is a consensus here about how to handle them | December 2 |
| Category:Princess Leia | merge the articles into Category:Star Wars characters and the images into Category:Star Wars images | December 19 |
| Category:Prize-winners of the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition | delete | December 19 |
| Category:Protected areas on the Appalachian Trail | DELETE | December 14 |
| Category:Pseudonymous albums | Delete | December 20 |
| Category:Real Salt Lake matches | Keep both | December 4 |
| Category:Recipients of honorary degrees | delete | December 12 |
| Category:Recipients of the Order of Idris I (Libya) | delete | December 28 |
| Category:Roman Catholic missionary orders | keep (i.e. do not rename) | December 19 |
| Category:Roof and tunnel hacking | Merge | December 19 |
| Category:Rosenstolz | Delete | December 19 |
| Category:Route 66 buffs | delete | December 3 |
| Category:Sabahan stubs | delete category, merge template | December 11 |
| Category:San Francisco Bay Area cinema | rename to Category:Cinema of the San Francisco Bay Area | December 22 |
| Category:Sauces of the mayonnaise family | NO CONSENSUS, on what should be done; only that something should. Fortunately, these are the Hollande Days, so the time is right | December 18 |
| Category:Scottish Premiership venues | merge | December 10 |
| Scottish Professional Football League managers | merge all | December 8 |
| Scottish Professional Football League players | merge all | December 8 |
| Category:See also templates | renamed by Od Mishehu. (He cites this discussion in the deletion summary.) ( NAC) | December 23 |
| Category:Shinigami in Bleach | Merge | December 19 |
| Category:Shops by country | DELETE | December 1 |
| Category:Shops | NO CONSENSUS | December 1 |
| Sikh Genocides | merge | December 17 |
| Category:Single-platform free software | NO RESULT. This might normally quality for a re-listing by closing admin, but given the passage of a lot of time without any activity, that does not seem warranted. It is impossible to conclude any result here. Since this was being used as a possible test-case, I prefer not to declare even a no consensus | December 16 |
| Category:Singles certified octuple platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry of Norway | DELETE. The only keep is procedural rather than content based | December 10 |
| Soft redirects | procedural close. None of the categories involved were tagged, so no action could have been taken, because other editors were not notified of this discussion. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Procedure for guidance on how to create a CFD discussion |
December 3 |
| Category:Sportsperson-criminals | delete both | December 24 |
| Category:St. Louis sports players | merge to Category:Sportspeople from St. Louis, Missouri | December 16 |
| Category:State highways in New Zealand | REDIRECT to Category:State Highways in New Zealand. As I understand the matter, this is to decide the question of whether to captalise the 'h'. I see that there is evident consensus to alter that aspect accordingly. I would say that it appears to establish a certain degree of 'case by case' treatment in this set of categories | December 29 |
| Category:Sterilization in fiction | NO CONSENSUS. Normally, this weight of deletion preferences would be sufficient to remove the category. However, following Bensin's work, I gather (though the passage of time makes this hard) that the category's purpose has shifted away from that which was nominated. Considering that the nomination rationale itself is therefore mooted, we are left with a debate which is closer to a natural no consensus decision anyway, and this taken together with the altered/expanded purpose is enough to persuade me that we do not have a consensus to delete the category that was nominated | December 24 |
| Category:Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip characters | DELETE. I note the suggestion of a merge, but don't really understand it. In any case, that can be editorial if highly desired | December 14 |
| Category:T. S. Eliot in popular culture | merge to Category:T. S. Eliot | December 2 |
| Tate | Rename all to Tate galleries. Consensus is that the term "Tate" alone is too ambiguous. As pointed out by BrownHairedGirl, neither the proposal for the Tate Gallery or Tate (museum) are workable; there are multiple Tate galleries now, and "Tate museum" is not in common usage. The "Tate galleries" option appears to be uncontentious. — | December 25 |
| Teen films | Merge all | December 17 |
| Category:Television program creators | DELETE. I hear the point made by doncram, but it seems that it has not been made well enough concretely to persuade people that 'creatorship' can be judged suitable clearly to support categorisation at the present time | December 29 |
| Category:The DVE Morning Show members | delete | December 11 |
| Category:The Elders (organization) | Delete | December 5 |
| Category:The Lone Gunmen (TV series) episodes | delete | December 27 |

| Category:Ukrainian Revolution | RENAME to Category:Russian Revolution in Ukraine. The debate is slightly unclear which target should be chosen, but I think the nominator's 'second variant' might have the problem of appear to include only matters after the events in question, when many of the articles are during at the least | December 3 |
| Category:Unique locomotives | no consensus. The discussion was marred by the out-of-process depopulation of the category before nomination, and by some confusion over the distinction between individual and unique. This was clarified (unique locos are by definition individual, but individual locos are not necessarily unique), but the discussion did not reach a consensus on whether the concept of uniqueness fails
WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE. Just what degree of differentiation from other locos makes a loco unique? In the course of the discussion, an explanatory text was added to the category page which defined it as being for "One-of-a-kind locomotives, as opposed to those produced as part of class", but this discussion did not consider whether "one-of-a-kind" might be a more appropriate name for the category |

| Category:United States presidents who died while in office | NO CONSENSUS. The deletion argument centers around the suggestion that if kept, then consistency demands the creation of such categories for every certain type of official. But that argument is rebutted, and not really a sensible claim anyway, because those other categories, if problematic, can be treated as (and if) they ever arise. This debate need not set some kind of precedent. The keep argument centers on that this unfortunate occurrence is a 'defining characteristic' and has very strongly in their favour that the fact is mentioned in the lede of most such articles. This is a very persuasive way to test whether people are likely to be searching for this categorisation. Therefore, on balance, I do not judge that the arguments demonstrate a consensus to delete | December 2 |
| Category:United States transport-related lists | Rename, along with category tree. Note that this is an ENGVAR issue, and shouldn't be taken as a precedent for other countries | December 24 |
| Category:Universities and colleges by year of establishment | MERGE to Category:Educational institutions by year of establishment. Taking both debates as a whole and individually, there is evident consensus for this upmerge | December 26 |
| Category:Universities established in 1987 | MERGE to Category:Educational institutions established in 1987. Taking both debates as a whole and individually, there is evident consensus for this upmerge | December 26 |
| Category:Urban exploration in England | Delete all | December 15 |
| Category:User:Terraflorin | Delete | December 17 |
| Category:Users of Ninja Enthusiasm | Rename to Category:Wikipedians interested in ninja, with no prejudice against nominating, along with or after the Category:Ninja tree, to the nominated name | December 16 |
| Category:Users who know chant theory | RENAME to Category:Wikipedians interested in Gregorian chant | December 16 |
| Category:Video games featuring non-playable protagonists | NO CONSENSUS. The noted previous discussion led to a deletion (by me), but I believe that discussion was actually mooted by this one, so there's no problem with different outcomes | December 28 |
| Category:Video gaming operating systems | NO CONSENSUS. The nomination rationale is pretty well argued against by the keeper, and to remove the concept of the category in the face of an article-based rationale like that is hard. I don't really understand why there should be little opportunity for expansion; and the nominator does not try to defend the point. Anon has a fair point, but that sounds like a reason for a merge, not for deletion | December 17 |
| Category:Virtual pet sites | Merge into Category:Pet websites and Category:Virtual pets | December 13 |
| Category:Walt Disney movie posters | NO RESULT. Normally, this would get relisted by closing admin. However the CfD backlog is large at the moment, so I will leave it to the nominator (or others) if they consider this matter still needing assistance of CfD after the passage of time since the nomination | December 25 |
| Category:White House Executive Chefs | KEEP. (Minor note: I don't really follow the logic of the nomination. If they are not performers and do not have performances, then this cannot be a....!) | December 20 |
| Category:Wikipedia personalities | relisted at CFD 2013 December 20 | December 4 |
| Category:Wikipedia personalities | Rename | December 20 |
| Category:Wikipedians in the Confederate States | Delete | December 17 |

| Yaoi | keep both (i.e. do not merge) | December 17 |
| Category:YouTube stubs | Deleted | December 21 |
| Category:Yusuf Islam albums | keep | December 8 |
| Category:Zamboanga City | keep. The only argument to rename the categories became invalid, after the undiscussed move was reverted and the following RM was unsuccessful. ( NAC) | December 1 |
| Category:Zirkouh County geography stubs | delete category and template | December 11 |
| Category:ZX Spectrum programmers | DELETE. The proposed merge target is found to be not suitable, and does not actually strongly motivate for a merge. Pity, I used to be one of these :) | December 17 |
