August 8

Category:Coudenhove-Kalergi

Nominator's rationale: Family categories in most countries are all like "Foo family". It appears that this convention has not been followed strictly with Category:Austrian noble families. Is there a reason? Do we need a wider discussion? Rathfelder (talk) 17:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Fagus

Propose renaming:
Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: The bare title Fagus is a disambiguation page, so some renaming is needed. The head article is Beech, and the scientific name Fagus (plant) (plant) redirects there. I am not sure which to use. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 17:16, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Mayors of populated places

Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one article in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion; @BrownHairedGirl, WilliamJE, and ItsPugle: pinging contributors to that discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:58, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Coordinates on Wikidata

Nominator's rationale: Three years after the previous no consensus CfD, this cat has grown to more than 1 million articles, and still no indication of what it possibly could be used for. The cat doesn't indicate any need for action (not here and not even on Wikidata), any error or potential error... it's just tracking for the sake of tracking. Why we should need or want to check some Wikidata property on enwiki is not clear, neither is why we shouldn't then track all other Wikidata properties in the same way (Category:Property "Human" on Wikidata anyone?). Yes, it is possible, and it is even vaguely conceivable that someone finds it interesting once in a blue moon. But it isn't remotely useful to improve enwiki or Wikidata. Fram (talk) 10:55, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Grammy Award

Nominator's rationale: Grammy Award for Best Soundtrack Album was created in 2000 and renamed in 2001 to Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media Category:Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media so no need in two identical categories, its useless double with the exactly same winners.

Category:Template loop warnings

Nominator's rationale: This category is populated by the MediaWiki:Parser-template-loop-warning message, and only works when the template loop ends up directly in the final output, and not, say, inside of an {{#if}} conditional. Category:Pages with template loops is populated directly by the MediaWiki software, and includes template loops no matter where they end up. This category is wholly redundant to that one.
