• Propose merging Category:1655 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (2) to Category:1650s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1655 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1660 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1660s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1660 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1795 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1790s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1795 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1797 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1790s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1797 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1801 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (0) to Category:1800s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1801 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1821 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (0) to Category:1820s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1821 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1823 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1820s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1823 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1865 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1860s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1865 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1867 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (1) to Category:1860s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1867 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1898 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies (4) to Category:1890s disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1898 disestablishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose deleting Category:Disestablishments in the Colony of Santiago by year (4)
• Propose deleting Category:Disestablishments in the Colony of Santiago by decade (2)
• Propose deleting Category:17th-century disestablishments in the Colony of Santiago (2)
• Propose deleting Category:Disestablishments in the Colony of Santiago by century (1)
• Propose deleting Category:Disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies by year (11)

Nominator's rationale: The only categorized disestablishment in the Colony of Santiago is that of the colony itself. Upmerging that leaves a chunk of category tree empty. Separately, this upmerges sparsely populated years (most years don't even have categories) into decades for disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies, paralleling what was done for establishments. -- Beland (talk) 21:39, 24 March 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 21:39, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Category:1801 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1821 disestablishments in the Spanish West Indies have been emptied. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:35, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:1509 establishments in the Colony of Santiago (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1500s establishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1509 establishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:1500s establishments in the Colony of Santiago (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1500s establishments in the Spanish West Indies and Category:1500s establishments in the Spanish Empire
• Propose merging Category:16th-century establishments in the Colony of Santiago (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:16th-century establishments in the Spanish West Indies
• Propose merging Category:Establishments in the Colony of Santiago by decade (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Establishments in the Spanish West Indies by decade
• Propose merging Category:Establishments in the Colony of Santiago by century (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Establishments in the Spanish West Indies by century
• Propose merging Category:Establishments in the Colony of Santiago by year (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Establishments in the Spanish West Indies by year
• Propose merging Category:Establishments in the Spanish West Indies by year (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Establishments in the Spanish Empire by year

Nominator's rationale: The only categorized establishment in the 16th century in Santiago is that of the colony itself. Upmerging the articles leaves a chunk of category tree empty, which is the rest of the above cleanup. -- Beland (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge For the record, the redirect Spanish Governor of Jamaica was also in this hierarchy (viz. 1510 establishments), but was removed by the nominator. I considered making the nomination myself, but held off because it does remove the Colony from the chronology category hierarchy of Jamaica; it will only remain in Category:History of Jamaica by period. It is part of the history of Jamaica as an island, even if anachronistic re Jamaica as a country. I would at least merge also to new Category:1500s establishments in the Caribbean alongside Category:1510s establishments in the Caribbean. – Fayenatic London 22:14, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent, in principle the "Fiction" tree consists of "Works" and "Fictional elements" (e.g. "Fictional characters") but in practice the above categories only contain "Works". Upmerge when a Works subcategory already exists (from the 14th century BC onwards). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:28, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Canadian federal deputy ministers to Category:Canadian deputy ministers

Nominator's rationale: Similarly, I don't see why this distinction for "federal" is needed or defining. ^SMason_Garrison 21:01, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They serve different governments. It's like saying that there shouldn't be separate categories for American federal senators and state senators. Atchom (talk) 23:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:African-American men in politics to Category:African-American politicians

Nominator's rationale: Don't think this triple intersection is a defining characteristic - there is no Category:Men in politics or Category:Male politicians tree. I T B F 📢 10:08, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment virtually every African-American politician is sorted by the office they held so merging this back to Category:African-American politicians is unhelpful. If it is deemed uncessary (I'm unsure to be honest) then it should be deleted rather than merged.--User:Namiba 13:58, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, trivial intersection with gender, per WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Lists of historical events to Category:History-related lists

Nominator's rationale: these are events in the very vague meaning of "anything that happened in history". This is follow-up on this earlier discussion. Manually merge, because a few subcategories are already in the military, political or social history subcat. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:38, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Musical instrument manufacturer templates to Category:Musical instrument manufacturer navigational boxes

Nominator's rationale: Right now this only contains navboxes, and copying all of these to Category:Musical instrument navigational boxes would appear counterproductive. 1234qwer1234qwer4 05:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (As Creator): It currently only contains navigational boxes, but I see no reason why it should only be limited to such. I chose the name as a sort of future proofing. Why? I Ask (talk) 02:57, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename per nom. Navboxes are more common than other template types. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:42, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:21st-century North Korean LGBTQ people to Category:21st-century LGBTQ people
• Propose merging Category:20th-century North Korean LGBTQ people to Category:20th-century LGBTQ people and Category:20th-century North Korean people

Nominator's rationale: Dual upmerge for now. There's only one person in these categories ^SMason_Garrison 03:00, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. The article then still remains in Category:North Korean gay men. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per nom. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Athletics (track and field) venues in Fiji (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. The lone article is a multi-purpose stadium primarily used for rugby and football. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Dams in Fiji (2) to Category:Dams in Oceania and Category:Water in Fiji

Nominator's rationale: Only 2 articles. WP:NARROW. The articles are already elsewhere in Category:Buildings and structures in Fiji –Aidan721 (talk) 01:05, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
