November 6

Category:Male underwear models

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Models can and do model many different articles of clothing and are not defined by the articles themselves. Buck Winston (talk) 23:40, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge. Another fragmentary category, splitting up a small set of articles into smaller and smaller sub-categories. There is no evidence that homosexual males were or are treated differently at the episode level than how homosexual women or bisexuals of either sex is treated at the episode level. This fails WP:CATGRS which states that gender must be relevant to the subject. It is not relevant here. Buck Winston (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Central Districts cricketers

Nominator's rationale: The current name sounds like it refers to districts which are central (either in location or in importance); we should disambiguate it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:32, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Photojournalists by country

Nominator's rationale: because the subcategories are photojournalists grouped by nationality, not by country/countries in which they work, and because the appropriate parent is Category:Categories by nationality (which is for people) not Category:Categories by country (which is not for people) BencherliteTalk 09:45, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sportspeople of multiple sports

Nominator's rationale: I see no reason why being notable in more than one sport is itself any more than the sum of its parts (that is, each sport separately); even if it is, this should be a list and not a category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:45, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jurist stubs

Nominator's rationale: A more ENGVAR-neutral name, and matches most of the child categories. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:29, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American musicians of Swedish descent

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Small category with little or no growth potential. Very few individual television episodes that deal with transgenderism are independently notable. This category fragments an already small set of categories into ever smaller and smaller categories. Buck Winston (talk) 01:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Same-sex marriage television episodes

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Small category unlikely to expand, also overcategorization based on what is ultimately a trivial thing. Not every aspect of every television series needs to be categorized and all of these new categories invite category clutter and fragmentation of a small set of articles.

Category:Lesbian kiss episodes

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization. Not every aspect of every episode of television needs a category. The existing list article Lesbian kiss episode serves nicely for anyone seeking information on the subject and includes links to each of the episodes. Buck Winston (talk) 01:32, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a part of a series which includes Category:Heterosexual kiss episodes, Category:Bisexual kiss episodes, Category:Gay male kiss episodes, and all the other sub-categories of Category:Kiss episodes by sexuality of the kissers. Then subcategorise into Category:Lesbians kissing straight women episodes, Category:Lesbians kissing lesbians episodes and Category:Lesbians kissing persons of unknown sexuality episodes.
Or preferably delete per nominator as trivia, which is not a defining characteristic of a TV episode. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:04, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
