• Propose renaming Category:Somalian emigrants to Category:Somali emigrants

Nominator's rationale: According to Somalia, Somali is the correct demonym. We should not use factually inaccurate information on categories. TM 20:42, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support per COMMONNAME. buidhe 18:52, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Hong Kong entrepreneurs to Category:Hong Kong businesspeople

Nominator's rationale: Unusual category, no parent category of such type. Störm (talk) 19:40, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support, I checked a number of articles and they were about businesspeople indeed. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:52, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Global union federations (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:11, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Federation of International Civil Servants' Associations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Article is barely developed anyways, so it isn't clear what federations would be included here as members. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:13, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Arguably single article cats should be a WP:CSD criterion, but that's another matter. --Doug Mehus T·C 19:14, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy merge to Category:Global union federations per WP:C2F. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:54, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  @Marcocapelle: That sounds more than reasonable to me. :) –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 21:56, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Cretan Revolts to Category:Cretan rebellions

Nominator's rationale: Not a proper name, and revolts -> rebellions per parent categories. Constantine ✍ 18:50, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:56, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Support per nom. buidhe 18:52, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename per nom. Dimadick (talk) 14:10, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename but to Category:Cretan revolts. The article Cretan Revolt lists rather more than appear in the category, but many seem to be called revolts, not rebellions. The two terms are very similar and I would not want us to change a parent because of one local usage. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:13, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the creator of the Cretan Revolt dab page, I have absolutely no problem with moving it to "Cretan rebellions" or something like that. I chose "revolt" back then because (for whatever reason) this seemed to be used in the few extant articles, but this doesn't mean we should make a rule out of it.

• Propose merging Category:People from Short Hills, New Jersey to Category:People from Millburn, New Jersey

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary subcategory. Short Hills is within a majority portion of Millburn, and we normally do not have subcategories for neighborhoods. The entries in this category should be moved to "Category:People from Millburn, New Jersey" Tinton5 (talk) 03:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support nom. Reasonable rationale being that of related category consistency. --Doug Mehus T·C 03:16, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support per reasons given above. Ambrosiawater (talk) 08:34, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn per discussion, without prejudice to renomination, of course, in the future. (non-admin closure) Doug Mehus T·C 13:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Liberal Party of Canada senators to Category:Former Liberal Party of Canada senators

Nominator's rationale:

1. The Liberal Party of Canada no longer has any senators; and,
2. Similar categories by class have "senators" not capitalized.

• Oppose. There may not be any Liberal senators now, but there were historically, and that's how those senators were appointed and (with nine exceptions) served out their terms. Compare to Category:Progressive Conservative Party of Canada MPs, Category:Social Credit Party of Canada MPs, Category:Reform Party of Canada MPs, etc. — Kawnhr (talk) 04:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Kawnhr, I agree with you, this goes along with what I mentioned here : https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://demo.azizisearch.com/lite/wikipedia/page/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_November_18 regarding the Senate Liberal Caucus. - MikkelJSmith (talk) 04:08, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose This is just not how our naming scheme works. The PC party no longer exists, but that doesn't mean we should rename Category:Progressive Conservative Party of Canada senators to Category:Former Progressive Conservative Party of Canada senators. Similarly, if someone played hockey for the New York Rangers and then left (to retire or join another team), we wouldn't remove Category:New York Rangers players from their page, or switch them to Category:Former New York Rangers players. In the eyes of the category system, they'll always be New York Rangers players. Colin M (talk) 06:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose - the opposers are correct. Oculi (talk) 10:49, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kawnhr, MikkelJSmith2, Colin M, and Oculi, yes, I thought you someone might point out the defunct parties or the Conservative Party senators; however, consider that those are defunct parties. It is grossly misleading to characterize Independent Senators Group or Canadian Senators Group senators as also Liberal Party of Canada senators, particularly when, there there is a Progressive Senate Group of former independent Liberal senators who are also tagged with Liberal Party of Canada senators. Doug Mehus T·C 11:36, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's not misleading. David Owen (say) was in several different parties and is tagged with each one. Oculi (talk) 12:47, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn per discussion with Colin M and support for me making this bold move outside of CfD. (non-admin closure) Doug Mehus T·C 12:02, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose upmerging Category:Independent Canadian senators to Category:Members of the Senate of Canada

Nominator's rationale: Note to CfD Closer: This is not a straight merge and delete of Category:Independent Canadian senators, as the category is being retained, but rather an upmerging of Category:Independent Canadian senators to Category:Members of the Senate of Canada since the subordinate independent Senate caucus categories that Bearcat earlier today nominated will be upmerged to Category:Independent Canadian senators. Since the caucus groups are notionally not political parties, it holds that this category should be upmerged from the current Category:Canadian senators by political party. In short, post-close, what is to happen is happen is Category:Independent Canadian senators is to become a subcategory of Category:Members of the Senate of Canada. Doug Mehus T·C 02:00, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm a little confused by this nom. I think you may be misunderstanding the definition of 'upmerging'? Upmerging in this case would entail recategorizing articles that are in Category:Independent Canadian senators, and putting them instead in Category:Members of the Senate of Canada. But based on your last sentence, it seems like that's not what you're going for. If you just want to move Category:Independent Canadian senators up one level in the category tree, you can boldly make that change yourself - you don't need to go through CfD. Colin M (talk) 06:14, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Colin M, True, I thought about that, which would just involve me removing the Category:Canadian senators by political party from the category in question and listing it at Category:Members of the Senate of Canada. Doug Mehus T·C 11:38, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
