Propose renaming Subcategories of Category:Comedy and humor by nationality to unified spelling

Nominator's rationale: Rename subcategories. Some categories use spelling "humor", others "humour". It creates confusion when you try to add a category to an article. I sugegst to rename subcategoies to match the spelling in the parent category. - Altenmann >t 22:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – this is exactly as it should be, with local variants at the local level. Oculi (talk) 00:35, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As said by Oculi, it would be weird to have "humour" in the US or "humor" in the UK. To alleviate the confusion alluded to by the nom, cat redirects could be used from the alternative spellings, so that users would not accidentally create inappropriate cats. --Randykitty (talk) 10:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- The convention is that American categories use American spellings and European and Commonwealth ones use British orthography. This results in an inevitable inconsistency in high level parents, but that is intended. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the variant spelling is a result of varriant local usage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:50, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kamrupi mathematicians

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:People from Kamrup Metropolitan district. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC) Amendment: Upon further discussion with User:CMBJ, we have agreed that Category:People from Kamrup Metropolitan district is not an appropriate target category in this case. I have left it up to User:CMBJ to determine if there is a better target category in existence or that could be created. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 03:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Kamrupi mathematicians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Merge with Category:People from Kamrup Metropolitan district, which seems to be the nearest local category from Kamrup, which he was from. Possibly it should be with its parent. No furhter upmerging is needed as the one article is adequately categorised. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Category:People from Kamrup Metropolitan district.Shyamsunder (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Bakul Kayastha was born more than eight centuries before Kamrup Metropolitan district was formed. It seems much more likely that 'Kamrupi' in this context refers to the people described here and here. I suggest that we keep the category, though we might also consider renaming it to Category:Kamrupi scholars and academics until a later point in time. — C M B J 04:29, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only two images and one is up for FfD. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:06, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Destroyed sculptures. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Former statues (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not only sounds "former" statue absolutely weird but the category seems simply to duplicate Category:Lost sculptures. Randykitty (talk) 12:20, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rename to Category:Destroyed statues and make subcat of Category:Destroyed sculptures, or alternately, merge to the latter category due to size. Mangoe (talk) 12:49, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Category:Destroyed sculptures. I am not sure if there is a way to differenciate these, but since this is an empty category, I really see no point in having it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't empty when I nominated it (I think there were 3 entries), otherwise I would have gone for a speedy deletion... --Randykitty (talk) 16:22, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the membership. I would agree that the upmerge makes as much sense as renaming. Mangoe (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still stand by my merge. I am not sure we have any clear way of seperating statues and scultures, so I see no point of having both categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:26, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as how the direction seems to be heading to merge, I have preferred that outcome. Mangoe (talk) 17:22, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

merge to Category:Destroyed sculptures seems that all 3 fit. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 06:06, 29 December 2012 (UTC)----[reply]
