* Hmm, it would be a bit odd when Wyoming would be the only state disappearing from this category tree. Better combine this with other states with 2 or 3 articles. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 04:27, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

Category:Occult collective consciousness

[edit]

Nominator’s rationale: Weird thing to categorize by. This is probably trying to be a category for egregore (a broad and simplified definition of egregore would be something like ‘Occult collective consciousness’), but that is a somewhat obscure concept even among esotericists that I doubt we will ever have enough articles on it to have a category. None of the articles besides egregore fit this category, as they do not involve occultism. I have no idea why The Over-Soul is in here. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:13, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Articles containing Rongpo-language text

[edit]

Nominator’s rationale: This category doesn’t seem to actually be used by any page other than the the main language page. SMasonGarrison 22:58, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Judges of insular areas of the United States

[edit]

Nominator’s rationale: Both of these categories are for judges presiding over Article IV tribunals. The supposed difference between them is that the “territorial judges” worked in territories that later became states while the “judges of insular areas” have not. But these terms are synonymous. The territories that later became states were insular areas. Whether or not current territories will become states one day is irrelevant to how these courts are organized. Moreover, Category:Judges of defunct United States courts exists and can differentiate the territorial courts that no longer exist, whether because the territory became a state or any other reason. lethargilistic (talk) 22:42, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, *thinks about it for one second more*, I suppose the real move might be to rename Category:United States territorial judges to “Category:Judges of defunct United States territorial courts” and rename Category:Judges of insular areas of the United States to “Category:Judges of United States territorial courts.” That would maintain the (useful) separation without mixing the two or implying territories and insular areas are somehow different. lethargilistic (talk) 22:53, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support option 2 – I like the defunct courts construction jengod (talk) 23:46, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Memoirists from Wyoming

[edit]

Nominator’s rationale: upmerge for now. under populated category SMasonGarrison 01:16, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
