Nominator's rationale: Full disclosure, I'm actually the original creator here, a decade ago when Wikipedia's standards for the notability of mayors, and how many of them had to have articles to justify a category for them, were very different than they are now. Under current standards, two of the four people filed here are up for AFD, because the town is too small to hand its mayors an automatic NPOL pass -- and while the other two also held office at the provincial or federal levels and thus aren't going anywhere, two people isn't enough for a dedicated mayors category. There's just no valid reason to retain this anymore. Bearcat (talk) 23:31, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Categorizes a total of 4 articles and probably falls squarely in WP:SMALLCAT. Upmerge to Category:Bionicle and Category:Lego films; I think every article is in a subcategory of Category:Science fiction films. Izno (talk) 18:39, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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. xplicit 05:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Labs has been deprecated with the rebrand of Wikimedia Labs to Wikimedia Cloud Services. See wikitech:Help:Toolforge. While not super high priority this could be eventually done to reflect its current naming scheme. User:BryanDavis can certainly give us further context if desired. Thank you. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:34, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, although a better name could be "Wikipedia bots running on Wikimedia Toolforge". — This, that and the other (talk) 11:20, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Amended the name of the proposed destination category. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:00, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy rename: I don't work at CfD enough to know for sure, but I think this meets WP:C2B or WP:C2C MusikAnimal talk 14:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per details of renaming. And thanks, MarcoAurelio! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 00:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cicinnurus[edit]

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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 04:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A reshuffling in bird taxonomy left only a single page in this category. Per other instances where this has happened, I have redirected the genus article (Cicinnurus) to the article about the species, which would then be the only article in this category.

The result of the discussion was: delete. xplicit 05:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
2003-2017
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, the above subcategories are very poorly populated and the parent Category:Agreements isn't that crowded that it needs such a granular diffusion. Currently all the above categories together contain:
Treaties subcategories by year (no need to merge, because Category:Treaties is already in Category:Agreements);
5 articles about Economic adjust programs of the European Union (no need to merge, they are already in Category:Economic adjustment programmes of the European Union);
3 articles Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and Safe Schools Declaration, of which I have added two myself before realizing it was so poorly populated, these three articles should after the above deletion of subcategories be added back to the main Category:Agreements and to either Category:2010 documents or Category:2015 documents. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Most are an unnecessary twig of a tree. I have not checked the first 5 too carefully and wonder if their articles need adding to a treaties tree. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Industrial history of the Dutch Republic[edit]

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 and delete as nominated. xplicit 05:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, at first instance it was intended as a merge of Category:Industrial history of the Dutch Republic with Category:Industry in the Dutch Republic per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Since the latter contains no articles it may be better to merge all of it per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:03, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/merge as nom -- more unnecessary Dutch Republic categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:46, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
