The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Newspaper founders by newspaper. (non-admin closure) House Blaster talk 22:25, 24 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge because this category is not helpful for several reasons: it assumes that american newspapers are founded by americans, not always true; there are only 5 :by newspaper: categories total, so this is unhelpful for navigation.

The result of the discussion was: rename/merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 09:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The title is run-on and overspecific. I don't necessarily think it's undefining, but it doesn't need such a specific scope as demons. The Devil category is also unnecessarily WP:NARROWCAT and overcategorization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 18:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Support merging and renaming AHI-3000 ( talk) 19:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Support There is evidently not a significant story difference in the type of possessing entity; the parent is Category:Fiction about spirit possession and no other categories are specific to one type of supernatural being. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 02:10, 18 December 2023 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) House Blaster talk 22:24, 24 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Following the discussions here, here, and here, ethnic categories should be reserved for individuals who are identified as Arabs in reliable sources, rather than being used as containers for countries. Yorkporter ( talk) 15:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Delete Another incorrect juxtaposition of ethnicity and nationality. Don't forget to check the other countries. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 15:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. Kurds, Copts, Druze, etc. aren't Arabs. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's not a critical mass to diffuse by medium Mason ( talk) 05:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose there are several notable Aromanian newspapers and I will write more articles about them in the future. I will just recreate the category as soon as I write another in anycase. Super Dromaeosaurus ( talk) 08:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
    That is why I said "Upmerge for now." If you do create a critical mass of newspapers, like 4 or 5, then the category can be recreated. But until this it is not helpful to isolate this single newspaper. Mason ( talk) 15:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC) reply
