November 11

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Holocaust denial in Palestine

Nominator’s rationale: Not enough content to justify categorization, regardless as to what happens to Category:Palestinian Holocaust deniers. User:Namiba 15:04, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator’s rationale: Hinders navigation (2 articles). User:Namiba 15:00, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings and structures demolished in 1540

Nominator’s rationale: Isolated category; the next subcat of Category:Buildings and structures by year of demolition is 1648. Contains only one article, which is already suitably categorised, so no merger is needed. – Fayenatic London 12:30, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional members of the Daughters of the American Revolution

Nominator’s rationale: Seems like a WP:NARROWCAT. The only two non redirect category members are both from the same series. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:20, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palestinian Holocaust deniers

Nominator’s rationale: Ambiguous since the syntagma Palestinian Holocaust has gained a different target or meaning. I suggest renaming it to Category:Palestinian deniers of the Holocaust since The Holocaust is the proper title of Holocaust. —MikutoH ^talk! 03:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have little idea of what is a noun and what is an adjective in this category meaning. LDW5432 (talk) 04:11, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rivers with fish ladders

Nominator’s rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEFINING

A Fish ladder is a series of pools going up the side of a dam or other structures that allow fish to move past the obstacle. We don’t categorize rivers by dams, so it seems trivial to categorize them by an accessory structure and this seems akin to Category:Rivers with bridges. (Incidentally, I went to create a category for the fish ladders themselves, but the only article I found was Pitlochry fish ladder.) – RevelationDirect (talk) 01:30, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

People from dependent territories of the United Kingdom

Nominator’s rationale: Follow-up to previous discussions 1, 2 and 3: categories about British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies were merged using the generic name “Dependent territories of the United Kingdom“, as what defines these groups of categories is the relation to their sovereign parent country more than the various individual statuses of these territories. These are leftovers from previous nominations. Place Clichy (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Thanks for following up on these.^SMason_Garrison 19:06, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiProject Norfolk Island templates

Nominator’s rationale: “WikiProject Norfolk Island” doesn’t actually exist – it’s a redlink on the category page. The linked template itself, Template:User WP Norfolk Island, links to WikiProject Australia rather than a Norfolk Island WikiProject. – numbermaniac 05:47, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Scandinavian explorers of North America

Nominator’s rationale: There’s no other Scandinavian explorers categories or really any other Scandinavian FOOers occupation categories ^SMason_Garrison 04:22, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Austrian biotechnologists

Nominator’s rationale: Only 1 entry. LibStar (talk) 03:10, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maldivian sports coaches

Nominator’s rationale: Category:Maldivian sports coaches has one subcategory and no pages. Care to differ or discuss with me? The N^th User 03:07, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ancient Pali grammarians

Nominator’s rationale: underpopulated category. upmerge for now ^SMason_Garrison 00:24, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
