- Propose deleting Category:Nicaragua–United States sports relations (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Categories for sports relations containing only multi-nation recurring events. For example, Cook Islands at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics is in Category:Germany–New Zealand sports relations while Soviet Union at the 1964 Summer Olympics is in Category:Belarus–Japan sports relations. This is not appropriate categorisation. AusLondonder (talk) 15:46, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
- Delete none of these categories contain articles that actually belong in them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
Delete non-resident ambassadorships are not defining and we should not place people in a category for them. In general we categorize people by occupation, not by specific assignment. To make an exception from this rule for ambassadors we need A-the specific ambassadorial assignment to be clearly significant to the subject and B-the specific ambassadorial assignment category to be grouping a significant number of articles. These categories fail by a wide margin on both counts.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:50, 24 April 2026 (UTC)- @John Pack Lambert I think this comment was meant for the nomination below. AusLondonder (talk) 07:35, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: More non-defining categories for non-resident ambassadors containing only a single article. Not useful for navigation. This approach also leads to over-categorisation of individual articles. Mansoor Alam is the sole article in six non-resident categories. AusLondonder (talk) 15:27, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
