December 7[edit]

Category:Arabs in Ottoman and British Palestine[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: rename to Category:Arab people in British Palestine. There may need to be a CFD to make the naming of these categories consistent, e.g. ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Arab people by occupation ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Arab people by country of citizenship‎, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Arab people by ethnic or national origin‎, but ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Arab citizens of Israel‎, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Arabs in the Roman Empire‎ and Category:Arabs in Ottoman Palestine.

The result of the discussion was: keep. delldot ∇. 01:11, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Underpopulated and no chance of any more being added as there are no more notable promotions past or present. 121.214.113.49 (talk) 22:46, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Belgian colonial people[edit]

Relisted. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 January 2#Category:Belgian colonial people. delldot ∇. 04:01, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roller coasters introduced in 2013[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. Some or all of the members of this cat are already in the under construction cat, but editors can add those that are not if it's appropriate. delldot ∇. 02:08, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category should not exist until a roller coaster has opened in 2013. Problems can lead to these roller coasters not opening in 2013 so the category shouldn't exist until there's a use for it. This has been the standard for the previous years.

Category:21st-century actors[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: keep, but this decision does not preclude creating subcategories. This would be a parent category and would not need to get deleted. I think I do not see enough consensus here to go ahead and create the subcats as part of this CFD, but others can try to find a consensus to do that and go ahead themselves at any point. delldot ∇. 04:24, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not sure what to do with this category but it needs to split or it's going to become messy and useless. For the entire 100 years, ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:20th-century actors totalled 1,048 entries but, 12 years into the millenium this cat already has 1,460 and is going to become ridiculously large. AussieLegend (✉) 15:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What purpose does an extremely large category serve? How is it useful? There is a reason we have {{verylarge}} and why we don't have ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:All Wikipedia articles. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How is it particularly large? "Category:American film actors" has about 15000 entries. Dimadick (talk) 16:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Very large categories defines very large categories as larger than 1,000 entries. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:31, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The argument is not that the category is not needed but that it should be split. Saying keep does not make sense.

Category:Taishanese people[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: rename to Category:People from Taishan and Category:People of Taishan descent. No objections to the change of target from the nom. Thank you much, Nlu, for offering to help carry out the split, I will list it at WP:CFD/W/M#Other (and thanks to anyone else who wants to help as well). If the article doesn't give a clue about which new category to place the person in, it probably shouldn't be in either. delldot ∇. 00:57, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is trying to serve two different purposes, and I think as one single category, it does not serve its purpose particularly well. People who are born from Taishan should be dealt with distinctively from people with ancestry from Taishan. Split. --Nlu (talk) 05:39, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Typhoon templates[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge Category:Typhoon templates and Category:Hurricane templates into Category:Tropical cyclone templates. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Remove Redundancy since we do not need 3 categories for the same thing.Jason Rees (talk) 05:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Psychiatry community services[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:54, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: the distinction is too fine to break it out. ps. if kept it still needs to be renamed "Psychiatric community services". Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Latin Americans YouTube Channels[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: self-close; category was speedily deleted as empty after contents were all deleted. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Since YouTube is on the Internet, I think it makes more sense to divide YouTube channels by language than by area of the world that they originate from. (Some of the original contents of the category have been deleted, so deletion/upmerge to ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:YouTube channels is another possibility.)
