| [[:Category:130s establishments in Israel]] || '''Speedy delete''' C1 || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:130s establishments in Israel|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:131 establishments in Israel]] || '''Speedy delete''' C1 || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:131 establishments in Israel|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:1856 in Washington D.C.]] || '''Speedy delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 6#Category:1856 in Washington D.C.|December 6]]
|-
| [[:Category:1900s drama film stubs]] || '''merge category, but keep template'''. There was a weak consensus to upmerge the category, but persuasive argument that this category might be viable in the future. Keeping the template allows that to be done easily || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 11#Category:1900s drama film stubs|December 11]]
|-
| [[:Category:1917 Russian Revolution]] || '''rename all''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:1917 Russian Revolution|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:1978 in Zimbabwe]] || '''Rename/merge'''. Note that not all of these were tagged, but given the history of this type of request, approval seems like a given.  It will take a while to get these done since it is a manual process || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 20#Category:1978 in Zimbabwe|December 20]]
|-
| [[:Category:2013 disestablishments in the Palestinian territories]] || '''speedy delete''' per [[WP:CSD#C1]] || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:2013 disestablishments in the Palestinian territories|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:320s disestablishments in Israel]] || '''Speedy delete''' C1 || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:320s disestablishments in Israel|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:Aboriginal Australian health]] || '''relisted''' at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014 January 16#Category:Aboriginal_Australian_health|CFD 2014 January 16]] || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 22#Category:Aboriginal Australian health|December 22]]
|-
| [[:Category:Aboriginal Canadian Health]] || '''Rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Aboriginal Canadian Health|December 17]]
|-
| [[:Category:Absent Friends (band)]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 5#Category:Absent Friends (band)|December 5]]
|-
| Actors from Manhattan || '''Upmerge both''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 11#Actors from Manhattan|December 11]]
|-
| [[:Category:Adoption, fostering, orphan care and displacement]] || '''NO CONSENSUS''', although there is some general dissatisfaction with the cat as it stands. A discussion elsewhere seems to be needed to work out how to dispose the articles better || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Adoption, fostering, orphan care and displacement|December 17]]
|-
| [[:Category:Adult video games]] || '''MERGE''' to ''[[:Category:Erotic video games]]'' then DELETE. Seems harmless enough || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Adult video games|December 17]]
|-
| [[:Category:Advanced practice nursing journals]] || '''MERGE''' to ''[[:Category:Nursing journals]]''. However, I have some concern that there is a touch of inward-looking thought from CfD here, without really listening to the growth arguments. Today, for example, there are 8 articles in the category, although it does seem that some of them are slightly unexpected. Therefore, I would qualify my closure here as "without prejudice" to allow the fact that the principal upmerge argument might come to be invalid over time || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Advanced practice nursing journals|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:AfC pending submissions by age/28 days ago]] || '''delete all''', without prejudice to re-creation if and when the relevant template(s) are changed to bring them into use || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 9#Category:AfC pending submissions by age/28 days ago|December 9]]
|-
| [[:Category:African people of Arab descent]] || '''no consensus'''. There were two main issues at stakes here, and there appears to be no consensus on either of them: || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 4#Category:African people of Arab descent|December 4]]
|-
| [[:Category:Ageing journals]] || '''Rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 22#Category:Ageing journals|December 22]]
|-
| [[:Category:Agronomists from Florida]] || '''Merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 11#Category:Agronomists from Florida|December 11]]
|-
| [[:Category:Alltel]] || '''keep and repopulate''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 2#Category:Alltel|December 2]]
|-
| [[:Category:American covers musical groups]] || '''Rename''', without prejudice for recreating this category if the target does get to be too big || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 26#Category:American covers musical groups|December 26]]
|-
| [[:Category:American designers by state]] || '''MERGE''' to ''targets as indicated'', and '''DELETE''' [[:Category:American designers by state]]. The debate does not persuade any who would merge that the per-state categories are useful since they capture so many different types of designer at too fine a level of detail. The general "your behaviour is bad", "no, yours is bad" stuff is not useful to a closing admin, I promise || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 4#Category:American designers by state|December 4]]
|-
| [[:Category:American female billionaires]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 5#Category:American female billionaires|December 5]]
|-
| American films by date || '''delete all'''. Merger is desirable, but the articles involved are already in all the relevant target categories || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 23#American films by date|December 23]]
|-
| [[:Category:American football club matches]] || '''rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 7#Category:American football club matches|December 7]]
|-
| [[:Category:American Idol episodes]] || '''merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:American Idol episodes|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:American Latter Day Saint hymnwriters]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. See above for rationale || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 1#Category:American Latter Day Saint hymnwriters|December 1]]
|-
| [[:Category:American women company founders]] || '''MERGE''' to both ''{{cl|Women company founders}}'' and ''{{cl|American company founders}}'' (and then '''DELETE''' {{cl|American women company founders}}) || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 5#Category:American women company founders|December 5]]
|-
| [[:Category:American women graphic designers]] || '''no action'''. The category has already been speedy deleted as empty || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 3#Category:American women graphic designers|December 3]]
|-
| [[:Category:American women textile artists]] || '''MERGE''' [[:Category:American women textile artists]] to [[:Category:American textile artists]] and '''DELETE''' [[:Category:Women textile artists]] and [[:Category:Women textile artists by nationality]], i.e. as per nomination. There is little support for outright retention here; and there is the matter of irrationality of having women but not men categories. It seems like this family of categories has other problems besides, and may benefit from a reboot editorially || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 24#Category:American women textile artists|December 24]]
|-
| [[:Category:Amusement rides manufactured by Prime Play]] || '''Rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 2#Category:Amusement rides manufactured by Prime Play|December 2]]
|-
| [[:Category:Andrew Wade]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Andrew Wade|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:Anglican deans of the United Kingdom]] || '''Merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 20#Category:Anglican deans of the United Kingdom|December 20]]
|-
| [[:Category:Animal impersonators]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:Animal impersonators|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:Anti-Catholic organizations]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. This is a borderline case. However, I have limited sympathy with arguments to do with using it as an 'attack category', or trying for some sort of 'pro' version (which would surely have POV issues from the get go), because there are perfectly reasonable articles which can, and should, be categorised here, as pointed out by Elaqueate and co. Therefore, weighing the arguments, I do not find that there is a consensus for deletion || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 16#Category:Anti-Catholic organizations|December 16]]
|-
| [[:Category:Anti-Catholic politicians]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 16#Category:Anti-Catholic politicians|December 16]]
|-
| [[:Category:Arthur Loves Plastic remix albums]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. It seems impossible to discern a decision from this discussion, although I have some sympathy with the (in)significance argument in favour of deletion || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 11#Category:Arthur Loves Plastic remix albums|December 11]]
|-
| [[:Category:Arthur Loves Plastic soundtracks]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 11#Category:Arthur Loves Plastic soundtracks|December 11]]
|-
| [[:Category:Assistant United States Attorneys]] || '''NO CONSENSUS''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 13#Category:Assistant United States Attorneys|December 13]]
|-
| [[:Category:Australia navigational boxes]] || '''Merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 18#Category:Australia navigational boxes|December 18]]
|-
| [[:Category:Australian anglican bishop stubs]] || '''rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 6#Category:Australian anglican bishop stubs|December 6]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bands featuring former members of Phish]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Bands featuring former members of Phish|December 17]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bengali Hindus]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. I read the discussion after the original re-list as more illuminating than before it. It seems that the suggested merge would not provide a proper outcome, and I of course note the AfD keep, also. Therefore, overall, there is not a stable opinion that this should be deleted or merged || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 19#Category:Bengali Hindus|December 19]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bengali intellectuals killed in 1971]] || '''MERGE''' to ''[[:Category:People killed in the Bangladesh Liberation War‎]]''. This is marginal tending to delete, but does not quite have the convergence of opinion that looks like a rough consensus - however, there is agreement that the category should not remain as it is, and a good target has been identified that seems like the real meaning of the category anyway || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 8#Category:Bengali intellectuals killed in 1971|December 8]]
|-
| [[:Category:Best Picture Academy Award winners]] || '''no consensus''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Best Picture Academy Award winners|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:Billing authorities in England]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. Significantly, the nomination basis is largely voided by the use of the term in legislation, although I do note the minimal use of the term in related articles. I would say this no consensus is without prejudice to a later re-nomination given the change of circumstances || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 9#Category:Billing authorities in England|December 9]]
|-
| [[:Category:Birds of Prey (TV series)]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 3#Category:Birds of Prey (TV series)|December 3]]
|-
| [[:Category:Birds of Ukraine and others]] || '''no consensus'''. No clear consensus was reached here, and in any case no categories were tagged with {{tlxs|cfd}}, so any agreement here would have been invalid. Editors may wish to open a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Birds]] about what to do with these categories before returning to CFD with a valid nomination which lists all the affected categories, tags them, and clarifies the intended effect of the proposal || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 22#Category:Birds of Ukraine and others|December 22]]
|-
| [[:Category:Blart]] || '''delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Blart|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bodies of water around Rockaway, Queens]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 14#Category:Bodies of water around Rockaway, Queens|December 14]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bollywood actors launched in 90's]] || '''Merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 1#Category:Bollywood actors launched in 90's|December 1]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bonkers (TV series)]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. I think normally this would be a delete, however the participation even after a relisting is very small, and BrownHairedGirl has a very fair point. Since the media files are ''still'' with us, the "too small" problem does not seem to exist... yet || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 25#Category:Bonkers (TV series)|December 25]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bonspiels]] || '''KEEP''', i.e. no change. It seems to have been accepted that a bonspiel is one part of a competition, thus neither direction of merge would be appropriate, and the current categorisation is fine. (I don't understand the final keep point - this is not the Simple Wikipedia!) || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Bonspiels|December 17]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bonspiels]] || '''relisted''' at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Bonspiels|CFD 2013 December 17]] || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 7#Category:Bonspiels|December 7]]
|-
| [[:Category:Book 'Life is Worth Swimming by Murray Rose']] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 2#Category:Book 'Life is Worth Swimming by Murray Rose'|December 2]]
|-
| [[:Category:Books about Australian Aborigines]] || '''Rename''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 22#Category:Books about Australian Aborigines|December 22]]
|-
| [[:Category:Boston Legal characters]] || '''DELETE''', noting also that the cross-referenced TfD was a delete || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 14#Category:Boston Legal characters|December 14]]
|-
| [[:Category:Brotherhood_(2006_TV_series)]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Brotherhood_(2006_TV_series)|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:Brunonen Dynasty]] || '''no consensus'''. There is clearly disagreement about whether the head article is named correctly, and although no RM discussion has been opened, some references have been posted at [[Talk:Brunonids#Some_sources]]. I encourage interested editors to try to reach a consensus on the most appropriate name for the head article, and to feel free to open a fresh CFD nomination when that process has run its course.<small>(Pinging CFD participants: || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 26#Category:Brunonen Dynasty|December 26]]
|-
| [[:Category:Buffyverse powers]] || '''Delete''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 21#Category:Buffyverse powers|December 21]]
|-
| [[:Category:Buffyverse time travel episodes]] || '''merge''' to [[:Category:Time travel television episodes]] and [[:Category:Buffyverse time travel stories]] || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 2#Category:Buffyverse time travel episodes|December 2]]
|-
| [[:Category:Bungeling Empire trilogy]] || '''DELETE''', since merging is redundant || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 20#Category:Bungeling Empire trilogy|December 20]]
|-
| [[:Category:Carry On films]] || '''no consensus''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 28#Category:Carry On films|December 28]]
|-
| [[:Category:Chapter 9 bankruptcies]] || '''MERGE'''. But we cannot delete both here, since the latter was not nominated, tagged, etc. As an editorial matter, I am going to make the original nomination a soft redirect, because I see a high probability of recreation otherwise - let's be honest the target category name is ''way'' to verbose to be most normal persons' first attempt! || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:Chapter 9 bankruptcies|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:Chemical insecticides]] || '''merge'''  to [[:Category:Insecticides]], which appears to be unstated intent of the discussion || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 31#Category:Chemical insecticides|December 31]]
|-
| [[:Category:Child's Play characters]] || '''merge''' to both parents, i.e [[:Category:Horror film characters]] and [[:Category:Child's Play (film series)]] || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 1#Category:Child's Play characters|December 1]]
|-
| [[:Category:Chinese interpreter stubs]] || '''DELETE'''. The proposal to create the new category and template(s) is an editorial matter not needing a CfD mandate || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 12#Category:Chinese interpreter stubs|December 12]]
|-
| [[:Category:Copper company stubs]] || '''Create new category, upmerge this one there''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Copper company stubs|December 17]]

| [[:Category:Countries bordering water bodies]] || '''delete all''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 3#Category:Countries bordering water bodies|December 3]]
|-
| [[:Category:Court system of Balochistan, Pakistan]] || '''merge both''', to both parents || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 29#Category:Court system of Balochistan, Pakistan|December 29]]

|-
| [[:Category:Crnomelj geography stubs]] || '''Merge''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 18#Category:Crnomelj geography stubs|December 18]]
|-
| [[:Category:Delicacies]] || '''Delete'''. It appears that the consensus is that this is too subjective to make a useful category. Listification may be useful; a full list of the category's current content can be found at || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 15#Category:Delicacies|December 15]]
|-

|-
| [[:Category:Donald Trump]] || '''keep''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 10#Category:Donald Trump|December 10]]

|-
| [[:Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovene Wikipedia]] || '''reverse merge''', but '''cannot be implemented''' unless and until the server is reconfigured.<br />Meanwhile, there is no point in having duplicate categories, so I will implement the merge as nominated.  Feel free to rename the resulting category if and when he server is updated || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 14#Category:Featured articles needing translation from Slovene Wikipedia|December 14]]
|-

|-
| [[:Category:Female cinematographers]] || '''RENAME''' to ''[[:Category:Women cinematographers]]'' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 23#Category:Female cinematographers|December 23]]
|-
| [[:Category:Female television directors]] || '''RENAME''' to ''[[:Category:Women television directors]]'' (but to me, this sounds flagrantly ungrammatical) || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 23#Category:Female television directors|December 23]]
|-
| [[:Category:Fictional characters by ethnicity]] || '''weak consenus to rename, but no consensus on splitting''' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 31#Category:Fictional characters by ethnicity|December 31]]
|-
| [[:Category:Fictional killers]] || '''manual merge''' to [[:Category:Fictional characters by behavioral attribute]]. There is clear consensus to get rid of this category, but the discussion did not take much account of what would happen to the artuicles currently categorised here. So I will implement the closure as a manual merge: merge the subcats to [[:Category:Fictional characters by behavioral attribute]], and manually recategorise the articles || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 19#Category:Fictional killers|December 19]]
|-
| [[:Category:Film editors from Oregon]] || '''MERGE''' to ''[[:Category:American film editors]]'' || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 12#Category:Film editors from Oregon|December 12]]

|-
| [[:Category:Former Marxists]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. There seems to be no way to combine all the disparate views toward a consensual outcome here. However, the points relating to the relative significance of disclaiming such a prominent theory/ideology are pretty good - it does not seem adequate in all cases to say "because there would be a case where permitting this as precedent would produce an unacceptable catetgory" means we should delete these ones. Different situations, different outcomes is OK || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 17#Category:Former Marxists|December 17]]

| Tate || '''Rename all to ''Tate galleries''.''' Consensus is that the term "Tate" alone is too ambiguous. As pointed out by BrownHairedGirl, neither the proposal for ''the Tate Gallery'' or ''Tate (museum)'' are workable; there are multiple Tate galleries now, and "Tate museum" is not in common usage. The "Tate galleries" option appears to be uncontentious. — || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 25#Tate|December 25]]

The debate is slightly unclear which target should be chosen, but I think the nominator's 'second variant' might have the problem of appear to include only matters ''after'' the events in question, when many of the articles are ''during'' at the least || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 3#Category:Ukrainian Revolution|December 3]]
|-
| [[:Category:Unique locomotives]] || '''no consensus'''. The discussion was marred by the out-of-process depopulation of the category before nomination, and by some confusion over the distinction between ''individual'' and ''unique''. This was clarified (unique locos are by definition individual, but individual locos are not necessarily unique), but the discussion did not reach a consensus on whether the concept of uniqueness fails [[WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE]]. Just what degree of differentiation from other locos makes a loco unique?<br />In the course of the discussion, an explanatory text was [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Category:Unique_locomotives&diff=588303986&oldid=588301020 added to the category page] which defined it as being for "One-of-a-kind locomotives, as opposed to those produced as part of class", but this discussion did not consider whether "one-of-a-kind" might be a more appropriate name for the category || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 30#Category:Unique locomotives|December 30]]
|-
| [[:Category:United States presidents who died while in office]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. The deletion argument centers around the suggestion that if kept, then consistency demands the creation of such categories for every certain type of official. But that argument is rebutted, and not really a sensible claim anyway, because those other categories, if problematic, can be treated as (and if) they ever arise. This debate need not set some kind of precedent. The keep argument centers on that this unfortunate occurrence is a 'defining characteristic' and has very strongly in their favour that the fact is mentioned in the lede of most such articles. This is a very persuasive way to test whether people are likely to be searching for this categorisation. Therefore, on balance, I do not judge that the arguments demonstrate a consensus to delete || [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 December 2#Category:United States presidents who died while in office|December 2]]

| [[:Category:Video gaming operating systems]] || '''NO CONSENSUS'''. The nomination rationale is pretty well argued against by the keeper, and to remove the concept of the category in the face of an article-based rationale like that is hard.
