The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:1967 in the United Arab Republic occupation of the Gaza Strip and Category:1967 disestablishments in Palestine. No one has explained why it should be merged to the Palestine category instead of the nominator's proposal. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:05, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Do we really need an isolated category like this? SMasonGarrison 21:10, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Delete Davidgoodheart's comment has been discounted as WP:JUSTAVOTE with no reasoning. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:12, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Convert Category:Professional wrestlers who competed in MMA to article Professional wrestlers who competed in MMA
Nominator's rationale: This feels more like the subject of an article rather than an intersection between being a professional wrestler and a mixed martial artist SMasonGarrison 23:58, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

  • Delete Category. X sport who were also in y sport is not a category we do. Creating an article is dependent on having reliable sources that meet specific guidelines. I do not think we have the expertise at CfD to mandate articles. At least I have never seen a category that had enough sourcing to pass as an article. People are free to submit this proposed article to articles for creation whatever we say here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:48, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Category:2026 Canadian provincial elections

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: merge to Category:2026 elections in Canada. No prejudice against the creation of a new category. (non-admin closure) Staraction (talk · contribs) 06:56, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Subcategory of unclear necessity. There is no established scheme of subbing Canadian provincial elections down into their own separate subcategory ghetto -- except for this new creation, all Canadian provincial-level elections prior to 2026 are just in the "elections in Canada" categories, not in their own separate "Canadian provincial elections" subcategories. And with only ten provinces and three territories, there just aren't a huge number of Canadian provincial elections each year to warrant such a scheme anyway -- even with provincial elections filed in the national-level parent instead of a provincial-level category, the largest national-level category in the entire scheme still has less than 25 articles in it total, so they're just not large enough to need this on size grounds. But regardless, this is a scheme that would have to exist comprehensively across the board for all years or not at all, not a thing that's uniquely needed for 2026 alone.

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 04:12, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: rename, current name is anachronistic, the Basque autonomous community was established in the second half of the 20th century. Marcocapelle (talk) 01:06, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Category:State Unani Medical College Allahabad alumni

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 01:26, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Only one member, Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar. He became an Islamic scholar rather than a medical practitioner, so I don't think a merge to Category:Unani practitioners would be appropriate. There is no article on the college, which for the record is stated on the category page to be located in Prayagraj, formerly and colloquially known as Allahabad. Only two other colleges of Unani medicine have articles, and neither have alumni categories, so this is not part of a hierarchy on that topic. – Fayenatic London 22:21, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
I tried to look around through a Google search for some other prominent alumni, though the institution must have well known alumni in Unani medicne, but that isn't really something I can search for extensively. I couldn't find anything good. I don't have any issues if this category is deleted. signed, Aafi (talk) 03:34, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge Delete for now, this is not helpful for navigation. No objection to recreation of the category when a couple more articles can be added. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:19, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom, just underpopulated. -- Just N. (talk) 13:22, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
