Category:Belgian Hebraists
- Nominator’s rationale: upmerge for now. underpopulated SMasonGarrison 22:58, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Category:Developmental biology concepts
- Nominator’s rationale: Manual upmerge. Underpopulated category, created by DinosaursLoveExistence containing only Cell lineage. Since then Shyamal (talk · contribs) has added Transdifferentiation and the stub Transdetermination. I suggest a manual merge as I am not sure what topics qualify as “concepts”. – Fayenatic London 22:55, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Category:China in fiction by province
- Nominator’s rationale: To be more precise and to match other categories like Category:Australia in fiction by state or territory and Category:India in fiction by state or union territory. (Autonomous regions of China are border regions comparable to provinces. In fact, Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Guangxi were formerly provinces.) T3W6K9V7Z1Q4 (talk) 19:04, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Also propose renaming
- Mild oppose, per Category:Categories by province of China, Category:Provinces of China and Provinces of China. China is divided in provinces, autonomous regions, directly-controlled municipalities, and special administrative regions. However, they are called together province-level divisions. Chinese administration is very much defined by its provinces since at least the Yuan dynasty (that’s the 13th century), other types being introduced in the 20th century as province-equivalents. Although it would be more precise to list all types of province-level divisions in the name of these categories, it would be too cumbersome, and the expression “China by province” is unambiguously clear. In this case, better is the enemy of good. Categories for Australia, Canada, India and the U.S. use province or territory or a version thereof, but that is less cumbersome and does not leave out other types of administrative divisions.

Category:Expanding the Minority Languages across the 19 State of Northern Nigeria
- Nominator’s rationale: The name of the just-created category doesn’t connote any kind of category, and I don’t even understand what it means. It’s possible that the title could be changed to “Minority languages of Northern Nigeria”, but it isn’t clear that that’s defining for any language. I don’t know that much about Nigeria, but it seems like an arbitrary classification. I suspect that if I looked at any of the articles that the creator has added to it, they won’t make a point of noting whether they’re a minority language in Northern Nigeria. Hence, the category will fail WP:V and won’t be applicable. Largoplazo (talk) 15:49, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- The category should be renamed to “Minority languages of Nigeria” because there are small languages in Nigeria that has only page in English Wikipedia not available in Nigeria local Wikipedia Fulani215 (talk) 15:57, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Rename, i support that Category:Expanding the Minority Languages across the 19 State of Northern Nigeria should be rename so that it will be valid and be used for other edit like translation to other language wikipedia. Muktee1494 (talk)
- Rename to what? Also, how does having articles in a category allow them to be “used for other edit like translation to other language Wikipedia”? I don’t know what that means. Largoplazo (talk) 16:11, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to ”Minor langueges in Nigeria” the editor will used the category link and shared to other editors so that it will be easy for them to make edits like translating to other languege wikipidia. Muktee1494 (talk) Muktee1494 (talk) 16:17, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- That isn’t what article categories are for. Have you read WP:Categorization? See the first paragraph, at the least. There are other ways to set up a shared project space. Largoplazo (talk) 16:19, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Ok undertand, but before the category got deleted let the editor know the other ways to set up a shared project space.
- but its better to be rename than delete! Muktee1494 (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- One of you can set up a user subpage (see WP:User pages#Creating a subpage) with whatever content you want to that’s associated with your team project, including links to articles. You can then share the link to that page with all your collaborators and, if you want, allow them to make updates to that page. Largoplazo (talk) 16:44, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- Merge to Category:Languages of Nigeria, nearly all languages in that tree are minority languages. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:42, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Category:People from Boye County
- Nominator’s rationale: “People from X” category, newly created for just one person. As always, every geographic entity that exists does not automatically get one of these the moment one person from that place has an article to file in it — there would need to be several people from that place to file in the category before it was justifiable, and for just one person we leave them in the next higher-level entity until there are more.
As I’m not an expert on China, I’m also willing to withdraw this if somebody with more knowledge in the matter can find four or five other people to populate this with — but it doesn’t aid navigation of the Wikipedia to obsessively microcategorize everything down to the narrowest possible categories with just one article in them, so if he’s the only person who can be filed here then he has to stay at the Hebei level until the Boye County level has more than just one person in it. Bearcat (talk) 15:02, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
Category:Pages with Battle Honours
- Nominator’s rationale: This appears to be an attempt at a template tracking category, but it is not set up properly, and it doesn’t appear as if it would be useful even if it were. Mclay1 (talk) 14:36, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- Nominator’s rationale: All other Roman Catholic schools categories were moved from “Roman Catholic” to just “Catholic”. This is the only case where Roman Catholic is a subcategory of Catholic, which is unnecessary, particularly because the Catholic category only contains subcategories for Roman Catholic schools (per their descriptions).

- Nominator’s rationale: Associated with is not a defining feature for categories SMasonGarrison 03:17, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- Note: Templated notice of this discussion added to the WP:BLPN board. – RevelationDirect (talk) 03:30, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
-
- Delete Textbook WP:OCASSOC. While I anticipate we may eventually have a well-sourced category along these lines, at this point it’s speculative WP:BLPCRIME. – RevelationDirect (talk) 03:25, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, major current event, which has had ramifications for people included it such as Prince Andrew. —FelineHerder (talk) 18:23, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, not a defining characteristic. If it is notable and sourced, then it should be a topic article or list article, not a category. The fact that this was created for the purpose of placing Not-prince Andrew in it makes it an ATTACK category, another reason to delete it. Place Clichy (talk) 03:47, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, while the topic is relevant, it is not a defining characteristic of people, if well sourced, it should be added on a list article, aditionally, the category itself lacks multiple people that have been considered suspects of entering the island, and it is too broad on what exactly “associated means”, if we are to revive a topic, it should be done as a list article that is well sourced and more properly tackles the subject and how broad it is.

- Nominator’s rationale: WP:NONDEFINING, WP:OCAWARD, and WP:G4
- The Webby Awards are an American web site award which might be defining if this category had articles specifically about web sites. But the actual contents of this category are mostly companies, brands and celebrities who happen to also have a web site creating a bewildering grouping which includes Justin Bieber, BBC News, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Puzzle Pirates, Frank Ocean, Mayo Clinic, Lawrence Lessig, Merriam-Webster, Dan Savage, and NASA. The category contents are already at List of Webby Award winners for any reader interested in the topic. – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:31, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
