Category:History of modern European colonialism

Propose merging Category:History of modern European colonialism to Category:History of European colonialism

Nominator's rationale: while in theory we might split this in Early Modern versus Modern European colonialism, in practice Early Modern and Modern history are lumped together here in one category, which makes the word "modern" in the category name redundant.

agree, says category creator Hmains (talk) 02:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiTeens

Propose deleting Category:WikiTeens - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Not a properly named Wikipedian category, membership is time-dependent, unlikely to be populated —swpb^T 20:15, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion User categories have to be better-thought than that. Categories with one member make no sense. Editors should find better stuff to involve their time. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:22, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People from Southern California

Propose merging Category:People from Southern California to Category:People from California

Nominator's rationale: /Delete from subcats which are all under the scheme of Category:People by county in California anyway. It's not helpful to diffuse a handful of biographies for persons who are from a huge region of a huge state. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:37, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

do not merge first, there are people articles who are directly in this category besides the subcats; second, this is an obvious subcat of Category:Southern California which has many subcats. Hmains (talk) 03:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
