The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Easter hymns. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:58, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete or merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article. As there is no category for Ascension Thursday, possibly merge to Category:Eastertide. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:German Silesia[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) Qwerfjkltalk 21:00, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, German Silesia is and was never a real administrative entity, it is merely a made-up intersection between a past Province of Silesia and a current country. Note that the larger part of Silesia is currently in Poland, only a tiny corner of it stretches into current Germany. The category also overlaps quite a bit with the Lusatia categories nominated below by User:Fayenatic london. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:40, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The problem with the nomination is that the category was never intended to deal with an "administrative entity" but with a historical region and especially with the area that still makes part of Germany (like the former counties in Northern Ireland, which by the way also overlap with the present administrative jurisdictions).--Darius (talk) 01:00, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  1. German Silesia isn't a historical region while Silesia is.
  2. Even if it were a historical region, it should contain articles about the historical region - but these articles apparently do not exist, not even an article about German Silesia itself. The category merely contains articles about populated places which tell us nothing about German Silesia as a region. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per precedent, categories for populated places in former countries should not be allowed. If German Silesia is a thing at all, it is a former thing. The contents consists only of current places in the former thing. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:26, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per precedents. Province of Silesia contains a list of districts; it might be useful to tabulate those lists with a column or colour code to indicate the current country, and to add a column for cities and towns within each district. However, using categories for this is not appropriate. – Fayenatic London 10:39, 23 April 2022 (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: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 09:30, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, this category does not add something to Category:Viking Age by country. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is quite a different discussion: should the by-modern-country exist at all? Still, the British Isles category does not solve that problem, since Ireland, Scotland and England had a very different history. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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 Timrollpickering (talk) 09:43, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Followup to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 April 8#Category:LGBT-related controversies in Switzerland. These categories all also suffer from the same problem: they're one-entry or two-entry categories being used solely to categorize the overview articles "LGBT rights in X" and/or "LGBT history in X" rather than actual articles about any specific controversies. Bearcat (talk) 16:09, 19 April 2022 (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: delete and any user can boldly create Category:User tisa and 1-5. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 09:26, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Nonsense babel category - Category:User siyi does not exist and "siyi" does not appear to be a valid language code. While I understand that this was created to clear Special:WantedCategories, it's not clear why the creator didn't just remove it from the sole member's user page, since that user hasn't objected to several other redlinked categories being removed. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category seems to cover the exact same ground as its parent. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Useless isolated babel category not part of a wider series and containing only one subcategory that's better categorized elsewhere. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) JBchrch talk 22:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete This is not an encyclopedic category, is self-referential, contains categorically wrong entries (like arXiv or Anadolu Agency, which are not deprecated by any stretch of the imagination) and is misspelled. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
