- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Estopedist1 (talk) 21:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge, but not to Category:Estonian physicians because the article is already in a 20th-century subcategory thereof. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:26, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per Marcocapelle.

Category:1814 floods in the United Kingdom
- 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: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:46, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:1814 floods in the United Kingdom to Category:1814 floods, Category:1814 disasters in the United Kingdom and Category:Floods in the United Kingdom
- Propose merging Category:1821 floods in the United Kingdom to Category:1821 floods, Category:1821 disasters in the United Kingdom and Category:Floods in the United Kingdom
- Propose merging Category:1852 floods in the United Kingdom to Category:1852 floods, Category:1852 disasters in the United Kingdom and Category:Floods in the United Kingdom
- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCATs for just one flood each. As always, it does not aid navigation to obsessively subcategorize everything all the way down to the most granular level possible, without regard to the actual size of any given category -- these would be fine if there were several floods per year to file in them, but are not warranted for just one. Bearcat (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge all All of the year categories for floods in the United Kingdom have 1–3 articles each. Some of these can be merged to decade categories, but the United Kingdom is evidently too small to support a yearly flood category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:04, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge all per LaundryPizza03. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:30, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose For the 20th and 21st century the number per year is up to 2 or 3; enough to warrant a category of floods per year for the United Kingdom. United Kingdom by year categories extend back to 1801 ie the 19th century; so the categories of floods by year in the United Kingdom should include the 19th as well as the 20th and 2st centuries. Hugo999 (talk) 22:35, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- In order to keep the tree I would expect some 5 articles per year category on average. The average currently is well below 2. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge all per LaundryPizza03. Yet more WP:SMALLCAT categories created by this user who seems insistent on creating tons of small categories for no benefit. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge all — tired of cleaning up all the small categories by Hugo999.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:57, 18 March 2023 (UTC) - Merge all -- There is not enough content for a category tree. We should merge all floods in UK subcats: there might be enough for one 19th century category and for decade categories in 20th and 21st century. I am surprised not to see an article on the 1795 floods on river Severn, which broke most of the bridges on that river. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:07, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only two articles in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge

- Propose renaming Category:Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex to Category:Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh
- Nominator's rationale: HRH has a new title. Richiepip (talk) 15:29, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per WP:C2D, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:13, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Support per above --Lenticel (talk) 00:02, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:48, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:1830s in the Southern Netherlands to Category:1830s in Belgium
- Nominator's rationale: Selective merge and redirect. 19th century in the Southern Netherlands is the predecessor category to the history of Belgium by that name, which begins at 1830. Only Province of Limburg (1815–1839) needs to be moved across; the other 2 pages are already categorised in 1830/1831 in Belgium. – Fayenatic London 14:00, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Just delete, a province article does not belong in a decade category. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Marcocapelle.

- Propose merging Category:Lithuanian writers' organizations to Category:Writers' organizations and Category:Lithuanian literature and Category:Arts organizations based in Lithuania
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Estopedist1 (talk) 13:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per nom, though tbh I think that Category:Lithuanian literature is a rather odd merge target for this. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Merge, except Category:Lithuanian literature.

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:49, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Lithuanian xylographers to Category:Lithuanian artists and Category:Woodcut cutters
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Estopedist1 (talk) 13:20, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete (or else merge to Category:Woodcut cutters only), it is not clear from the article text that it belongs in Category:Woodcut cutters. Merging to Category:Lithuanian artists is redundant since the article is already in Category:Lithuanian illustrators. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:13, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Delete — Xylography means woodcutting. The sole article won an award for woodcuts, so it was one of the reasons for notability. But Category:Woodcut cutters says it is not for the artists who designed them.

- Propose merging Category:Lithuanian generals in other armies to Category:Lithuanian generals
- Propose merging Category:Polish generals in other armies to Category:Polish generals
- Nominator's rationale: words like "in other Foo" should be avoided, confusing. Estopedist1 (talk) 09:13, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Category:Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Propose renaming Category:Subdivisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Category:Administrative divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Propose renaming Category:Entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Category:Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2D main article Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).
- Followup to:
- William Allen Simpson (talk) 00:15, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest that Category:Entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina might be renamed to political divisions, and Category:Subdivisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina to "administrative divisions" like other countries. – Fayenatic London 14:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- Currently, Category:Entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sub-category, and Entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was created in 2004 by Joy as a redirect to Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Political divisions is the top level, so these must be re-parented.

- Rename per nom plus the fact that there are legally only 2 "entities" in BiH: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Republika Srpska (RS). That's a WP:SMALLCAT by definition.
