The result of the discussion was:rename. MER-C 12:24, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:Rename. Several reasons. Caps fix. Putting "participants" last makes the name clunky. Align with article name. HandsomeFella (talk) 19:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - can you group all these Nigeria coup-related categories under one header? They are related, so it makes sense to discuss them together. Neutralitytalk 02:12, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support renaming all Nigerian coup categories. Neutralitytalk 02:12, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alternative proposal. I've noticed that there isn't even a category for each of the coups themselves. Let's then just rename each of the categories C2D to the main article about the coup. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:42, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support all as improved naming format (caps and grammar). SFB 12:57, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- simpler grammar. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:33, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs written by Hostyle Gospel
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:52, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Propose deletingCategory:Songs written by Hostyle Gospel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Songs are written by people, not by people who are then associated together in some other way. Making categories of songwriters by band member affiliation is a huge headache and not at all helpful to navigation. Previous discussions include The Bee Gees and The Miracles and Lady Antebellum. I would have no objection to the category being split between the named writers. Richhoncho (talk) 18:32, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Richhoncho Do you have a problem with me? You didn't have to say mean things about people's articles. What I was trying to contribute to Wikipedia writers was a list to help in the future in case they wanted to look up information about this group. I was not trying to create a "huge headache". I felt what you said was very disrespectful and I hope you don't talked like this to other Wikipedia writers. Keywhy (talk) 05:47, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have a problem with songwriting categories by group, especially marketing terms, which Hostyle Gospel is. If you had created Category Hostyle Gospel songs instead I would have had no problem with that category. Please read WP:AGF. --Richhoncho (talk) 07:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Richhoncho Keep in mind, I'm new to Wikipedia and everyone isn't as experience as you are. I didn't know about marketing terms, so please next time take it easy on newbies. I will create the appropriate categories for groups. Keywhy (talk) 13:21, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Keywhy (category creator) has moved all the entries from this category to Category:Hostyle Gospel songs. There is no reason why this category can't be speedied. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:09, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:split to Category:Journal Media Group and rename to Category:Journal Media Group newspapers. – FayenaticLondon 16:44, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All of Scripps' newspapers are now owned by Journal Media Group, so this category can be repurposed as its own. ViperSnake151 Talk 16:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Question: wouldn't Category:Journal Media Group newspapers be better? HandsomeFella (talk) 20:12, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
JMG still has some other holdings so I would lean toward the corporate name, I'm not opposed to this alternate rename though. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:11, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deletingCategory:Affective games (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Only contains Category:Affective video games. Unnecessary. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 13:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support/Expanded Proposal Take this category and Category:Affective video games and upmerge them all to Category:Affectivity, then rename the target category Category:Affectation to match the main article, Affectation. This seems like a possible emerging technology that doesn't justify a whole tree (at least yet). @Qwertyus: If you agree with this, let me know and I'll tag the other two categories. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:18, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@RevelationDirect: affectation is an unrelated concept. I'm not sure what to do with Category:Affectivity, but the articles both fit in Category:Affective computing which I created yesterday. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:49, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Affectation" was actually a typo on my part, I meant to type in the main article in the headig for Category:Affectivity but that's also wrong (Affection). This change is a good start so count me on board. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Affective computing, as it seems to me that the removal of the computing element renders impossible the affective element. SFB 13:03, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to @P2prules: you have recently created Category:Affection, Category:Affection games, Category:Affection video games, Category:Affection in video games, Category:Affectivity, Category:Affectivity by medium, Category:Affective games and Category:Affective video games, which hold solely your articles Affective games, Affective videogames and Big Huggin'. Please will you consent to deletion of at least some of those categories (being specific) so that we can look more clearly at what will then remain? – FayenaticLondon 14:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2012 phenomenon theorists
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:rename. MER-C 12:29, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Theorist" as a WP:LABEL implies work with a coherent academic discipline. These are people who believed in the 2012 phenomenon, so the proper term is "2012 phenomenon believer". jps (talk) 13:48, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support rationale for change seems sound. Especially in retrospect. Simonm223 (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No objection sounds reasonable - do we have analogous categories that use such naming? - David Gerard (talk) 09:01, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category: Years in Greenlandic sport(s)
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:delete Category:Greenlandic sport(s) by year and merge the others to Category:20XX in Danish sport and Category:20XX in Greenland. MER-C 13:03, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT; Propose deleting as there are only two entries (and no other possibles) for the 21st century; the two entries would then be included in Category:2014 in Greenland and Category:2016 in Greenland. However if retained perhaps use Greenlandic sports not Greenlandic sport as is usual for North America (America, Canada, Mexico), although Greenland is a dependency of Denmark. Hugo999 (talk) 13:15, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge -- The 2014 category contains a person who competed for Denmark in the Olympics. The 2016 category is presumably related to the 2016 Arctic Winter Games. However, there is just not enough content in Category:Sport in Greenland for the category to require splitting. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:44, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge as too small and narrow to be useful category. SFB 13:23, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose delete Category:1st-millennium BC establishments in the United Kingdom of Israel
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NARROWCAT and WP:SMALLCAT, the scope is only two generations in very ancient history, necessarily leading to very little content. No upmerge needed since the one child category is sufficiently parented already. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the whole tree back to Category:Ancient Israel and Judah. There is not enough content to require its splitting. I am not convinced of the merits of its child Category:10th-century BC establishments in Israel, but I suppose we have to allow it, possibly renmed to Category:10th-century BC establishments in Israel and Judah. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds reasonable, but will require a separate nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propose rename Category:10th-century Czech people to Category:10th-century Bohemian people
Support -- I suspect that the Margravate of Moravia was a separate realm, but since they had the same ruler, that may not matter. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:57, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question -- are we sure there is no room for populating it better? Peterkingiron (talk) 17:58, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Meanwhile I found one more article, about a Bohemian leader as described by a source related to Charlemagne. There can't be much anyway, sort of prehistoric. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:withdrawn. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF. Some people in this category became Bohemian monarch later on, so that Bohemian monarch is their defining characteristic instead of Bohemian prince, while for most people in this category Bohemian prince was just a formal title hardly worth mentioning. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:08, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but heavily purge. Most of the people are more notable as Austrian princes/rulers, and should be categorised as members of the Archducal house of Austria. Others were kings of Bohemia and should be cartegorised as such. However this will leave a small residue, who should be here - unless someone can suggest an appropriate target for them to be merged to.
Could you give an example of who might stay? In the sample that I checked, I couldn't find one. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:18, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
