NEW NOMINATIONS

Grama Niladhari divisions of Sri Lanka

Nominator's rationale, merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only 1-3 articles per category about tiny 4th-level administrative divisions in Sri Lanka. Note that in most case there is not even a parent category of a 3rd-level administrative division. Limited scope for expansion, it is more likely that the articles will be AfD'd some day, see also this ANI discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:22, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians interested in abstract algebra

Nominator's rationale: delete, very narrow topic, category is populated by the same two editors as in Lie algebra below (so no need to merge). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As someone affected by this and the Lie algebra merge below, I have no formal objection to the merge of over-specific categories. But I think one problem not necessarily addressed is that both algebra and the quadratic equation in the userbox suggest "high school algebra" versus the study of mathematical objects. Unfortunately, "abstract algebra" is a too-specific term of art as I understand the current standards of mathematical literature classification while "advanced algebra" also seems to convey a high school topic while "college algebra" seems to imply that you can't learn about the subject other than by going to college. Terminology is not consistent over the decades (currently I am formalizing Frege's 1879 work in a matter consistent with modern set theory), so it's possible I'm mistaken on current literature usage. I have no formal objection to the deletions/merge simply because I can think of no other useful super-category name consistent with common English usage.

Category:Wikipedians interested in clifford algebra

Nominator's rationale: delete, very narrow topic, category is populated by one blocked editor. No need to merge, per nomination below. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians interested in Lie algebra

Nominator's rationale: upmerge, very narrow topic, category is populated by two editors, of whom one is blocked. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Offspring of Adam and Eve

Nominator's rationale: Why "offspring" instead of "children"? All are first-generation children, not grandchildren. This could be renamed to conform with other subcategories of Category:Children by person Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not just for "some Christian groups" as you write, but for all adherents of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In any case, for this reason I support the proposal. Debresser (talk) 10:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Best of Nollywood Awards winners

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
Best of Nollywood Magazine is a Nigerian film and celebrity magazine that began hosting an annual award in 2009 called the Best of Nollywood Awards. The articles in this category generally list this award in passing with other honors so it doesn't seem defining. (In contrast, the Africa Movie Academy Awards is treated as a career capstone that is clearly defining.) The winners are already listified here in individual list articles for any reader interested in this former award. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Merited Coaches of Belarus

Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C1, an unpopulated category and likely WP:OCAWARD
We don't have an article on Merited Coaches of Belarus. The only thing in this category is Aleksandr Sevidov whose article doesn't even mention this award so it should be removed. I can't definitively say that this award is non-defining, but there is nothing in English Wikipedia that even hints it might be. There's nothing here to listify. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I am presuming that this was meant as an intersection between award winners and occupation, but that is not even clear, and if I am correct it is clearly undesirable as a trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:32, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have since found an article on Honored Coach of Ukraine so I'm assuming it's a distinct award. If and when a main article is created, no objection to revisiting whether it's a defining category. RevelationDirect (talk) 09:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 12:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albany Thicket Biome

Nominator's rationale: category moved to Category:Albany thickets (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), eponymous with the ecoregion this category is for. The Albany thickets are not a biome, as the term is generally used; it is an ecoregion or bioregion. Tom Radulovich (talk) 00:28, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle per WP:C2D but please note that copy and paste is highly undesirable because the history of the old page is then lost. I guess the closing administrator will first revert nom's actions and then properly have the category moved by admin tools. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Once Upon a Time in China series

Nominator's rationale: Standard. ★Trekker (talk) 00:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:The Prophecy

Nominator's rationale: Main article has the disambiguator (film series). ★Trekker (talk) 00:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
