The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (Talk) 22:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I created these categories a couple of weeks ago to house a disorganised group of articles that had been uncategorised until now. I used the "shadow cabinets" language because of Category:Shadow cabinets, but noting that the article titles themselves were completely inconsistent (using either "cabinet" or "ministry") started a talk page discussion at WT:AUSPOL to hash out a consistent approach. Everyone who responded preferred "ministry", the more common Australian usage for the topic. This reflects that the actual ministries the shadow ministries are in opposition to are, and have always been, at "ministry" (see Category:Australian Commonwealth ministries), and using "ministry" for the government and "cabinet" for the opposition seemed a bit silly.

  • Support per WP:ENGVAR. Each country should use, in both article titles and categories, the terminology that's most appropriate in their own context. Bearcat (talk) 17:33, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Populated places in Adamawa

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. Timrollpickering (Talk) 22:47, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This needs to be renamed for two reasons. Firstly, the eponymous category for this subnational division of Cameroon is named Category:Adamawa Region -- and secondly, Nigeria also has a state that is also named Adamawa, which has a parallel category for Category:Populated places in Adamawa State, so just using the name "Adamawa" here is ambiguous.

The result of the discussion was: rename, in fact the renaming has already been implemented. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:55, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Parishes in Johore

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, in fact, Category:Parishes in Johore has already been moved to Category:Mukims of Batu Pahat rendering this discussion moot. But I'm formally closing this discussion. Liz Read! Talk! 03:15, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, all parishes in this category are located in the Batu Pahat District which is part of Johore. Another alternative could be just to merge to Category:Batu Pahat District. Note that the word parish is used here in a secular meaning, it has nothing to do with church administration. (I'm not even sure if parish is the correct word here.) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT what about Category:Civil parishes of Batu Pahat district or Category:Civil parishes of Batu Pahat District? Either way, lose "the". Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:42, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, that is the perfect solution. It may make sense to rename the articles in the category from "parish" to "mukim", but that would be a different nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:50, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It does, and I have. Parish isn't a very good translation anyway ("Commune" would be closer). Grutness...wha? 11:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can support this ALT2. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:57, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Category:Mukims of Batu Pahat is an empty category now, I know whether it has been emptied out of process or not. But unless it is repopulated, it will be deleted. Liz Read! Talk! 01:40, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Liz: Would you be willing to close this discussion? That would sort it out immediately. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:38, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Basilicas in Barcelona

The result of the discussion was: merge per nom. ~ Rob13Talk 02:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, no other Spanish city has its own Basilica churches category and this subcategory leaves its parent Category:Roman Catholic churches in Barcelona currently almost empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (Talk) 22:48, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Article was renamed per discussion: "More concise name that accurately describes the subject of the article and sidesteps the issue of whether such persecution is considered part of the Holocaust." buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 01:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support renaming per nom. Rubbish computer (Talk: Contribs) 23:13, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom To match the main article. Dimadick (talk) 10:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per article. This borders on advocacy in a category name at present. Clearly too long.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:53, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
