Nominator's rationale: Vitamins are a kind of nutritional supplement. Most of the companies described produce various supplements. They are generally not described as vitamin companies, and most are in both categories. Rathfelder (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In this context, the use of the term temperance is very much a euphemism, not really a mention of a "self-restraint for something". Category:Temperance activists has c. 40 subcategories and c. 730 articles relative to all parts of the world (12 by-nationality categories) but all are relative to anti-alcohol activism, which seems to be the defining feature. Place Clichy (talk) 14:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in any case, and eventually later rename the temperance hierarchy into something else, maybe using anti-liquor or anti-alcoholism. Place Clichy (talk) 14:39, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment folks can be anti-liquor activists for any number of reasons, or by implication: temperance may be a subset, several religions have prohibitions on liquor so being a missionary of those religions can be construed as anti-liquor activism. Then there is the anti-drunk driving activists, which somehow WP puts in the temperance group. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:07, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge; in the context of activism, "temperance" is opposition to beverage alcohol (i.e. liquour) and its use, not support for moderation in general. Nyttend (talk) 01:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary category because the Gower Peninsula comprises most of the City and County of Swansea and there are no other notable peninsulas in the county. The Gower Peninsula article (and contents of other nominated categories) should be upmerged to the parent categories. Also nominating the other subcategories of Category:Peninsulas of Wales for deletion and upmerging of their contents. Generally there is only one major peninsula, if any, in each county (and Shell Island and Barry Island aren't peninsulas). Categories were created by a serial over-categoriser. Sionk (talk) 09:53, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
News to me, isn't that the same difference? Especially considering the contents should be upmerged to all the parent categories. Sionk (talk) 22:27, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Sionk: "Delete" is usually understood as "delete and don't upmerge". When a merge is intended, the nomination usually also specifies the target categories so that there is not any confusion about that. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:51, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Interpret "Delete categories and upmerge contents to the parent categories" however you want, but it seems quite clear to me. Sionk (talk) 19:32, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Eponymous category for a newspaper without the volume of spinoff content needed to warrant one. All that's here is the eponym itself and one journalist associated with it, which makes this an unnecessary WP:SMALLCAT. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The category definitely needs to be populated but there is plenty of potential content. Many editors-in-chief, critics, journalists etc need English articles and one of the largest Danish literary prizes is for example also awarded by the newspaper.Ramblersen (talk) 08:51, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We don't keep categories like this based on how many potential future articles might be theoretically possible to create — every single newspaper that exists at all could always claim that an eponymous category was theoretically expandable if that were a valid exemption from OCEPON in and of itself, so every newspaper would have to have an eponymous category. We keep or delete categories based on how many articles already exist, and then permit recreation in the future if that number changes. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Danish category Kategori:Journalister ved Weekendavisen ("Category: Weekendavisen journalists) contains 62 articles. I have added the ones with English articles to the category Category:Weekendavisen people and it now contains nine articles.Ramblersen (talk) 16:20, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have created CategoryWeekendavisen people after the nomination took place. Isn't it more normal to keep the more general category and then create more specific ones once the need is there? And is it really normal to delete categories that comply with general rules for creation of categories (that are similar to other existing categories) and contain two articles and a subcategory with nine articles (that is 11 articles had the subcategory had not been created)? If so, I can see a lot of categories (both newspaper ones and others) that should also be nominated for deletion, I know that is not in itself an argument for keeping the category but I am just trying to understand why this specific category should be deleted since it is neither particularly empty (anymore) or unlikely to grow in content in the future.Ramblersen (talk) 14:05, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody's questioned the validity of the "people" subcategory at all. But even with Category:Weekendavisen people in place, every "[Newspaper] people" category does not automatically need an eponymous "[Newspaper]" category to parent it even if only one or two things can actually be filed directly in that parent category — eponymous categories for things are only created when there's a lot of spinoff content that needs eponym-related categorization beyond the standard schemes. By the same token, every musical group does not automatically get an eponymous category just because they have "[Band] albums" and "[Band] songs" categories — they get an eponym if they're like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, where there's a lot of additional content that falls outside the standard albums+songs scheme, but not if all they have is their main article and the standard subcategories. The test for an eponymous category is whether it's aiding navigation, not just whether the thing it's eponymizing exists. Bearcat (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support deletion. Though we do not delete categories with potential for expansion, equally we do not create categories to contain things with vague connections (such as the examples of eponymous band/musician categories already given by Bearcat). If indeed the newspaper (or the literary award) is extremely important, there's no proof yet. Neither are there any other eponymous categories for weekly news publications (that I can find). There's no reason to single out Weekendavisen as any more special. Sionk (talk) 12:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep It sounds like the categories have changed a lot during the nomination and I'm looking at them now. My arbitrary cutoff for a category is 5 articles and this has 4 after you remove Tamil Case (Denmark), which is too loosely associated. RevelationDirect (talk) 17:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
