- Relevant history:

- @Aidan721: please link to those other discussions. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:02, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Linked above now. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:11, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Why populated, surely that’s a redundancy for a start. I think city or town is a useful disambiguation Kingbird1 (talk) 18:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- As put by The Grid in a prior linked discussion above: "We have the formal definition of a populated place from USGS: Cities, towns and other entities with human habitation are classified as populated places in the context of the BGN and GNIS." –Aidan721 (talk) 18:26, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Context is important here as it was pertaining to the United States. – The Grid (talk) 19:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- We use Populated place across all countries on WP. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- 1 and 2 were European and Middle Eastern, where this discussion started 2 years ago.

- @Marcocapelle, Gidonb, Peterkingiron, Grutness, Gonnym, UnitedStatesian, and Fayenatic london: again, only those who are not banned and have not yet responded. Ping requires signature, so it didn't work the first time.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support — community consistency per previous discussions. (Pining for the days there were many eyes on categories.)
William Allen Simpson (talk) 04:46, 23 February 2023 (UTC) - Support - long overdue. Grutness...wha? 04:48, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support this taxonomically sound solution. gidonb (talk) 05:19, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Estonian cannibals
- Propose merging Category:Estonian cannibals to Category:Estonian criminals
- Propose merging Category:Finnish cannibals to Category:Finnish criminals

- Dual merge per nom. Many sibling categories may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:People by city or town in Barbados
- Propose merging Category:People by city or town in Barbados to Category:Barbadian people
- Propose merging Category:People by city or town in Suriname to Category:Surinamese people
- Nominator's rationale: One sub-cat. Unnecessary category layer. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- This may be regarded as a case of the "smallcat exception rule". Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:People from Chartres, Falkland Islands to Category:Falkland Islands people
- Propose merging Category:People from Hill Cove to Category:Falkland Islands people

- Nominator's rationale: Manually merge all per WP:SMALLCAT. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom, but the first two categories can simply be deleted: both articles already are in Category:Falkland Islands farmers. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:35, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:People from Blowing Point, Anguilla to Category:Anguillan people

- Support per nom, but the categories (except the last one) can simply be deleted: the articles already are in the tree of Category:Anguillan people by occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Musicians from Prizren
- Propose merging Category:Musicians from Prizren to Category:People from Prizren
- Propose merging Category:Politicians from Prizren to Category:People from Prizren
- Propose merging Category:Sportspeople from Prizren to Category:People from Prizren

- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep all PetScan shows 25 articles belong in sportspeople, 5 in musicians, and 6 in sportspeople. More broadly, most cities with 177,000 residents have significant potential for growth in these categories.--User:Namiba 18:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please populate the categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Sportspeople from Goma

- Keep as petscan reveals 7 entries.--User:Namiba 18:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:International baseball competitions hosted by the United Kingdom
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT. A merge to Category:International sports competitions hosted by the United Kingdom is not needed since the article is already in Category:International sports competitions in Liverpool. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. All have one article. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Merge rather than delete, e.g. to Category:Sport in Ecuador and Category:Baseball in South America. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Articles are already in Category:National sports teams of Ecuador, etc. but merge to Category:Baseball in South America, etc. I'm fine with. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Baseball venues in Colombia

- Keep as both have a "realistic potential for growth" and thus fail WP:SMALLCAT.--User:Namiba 17:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- How realistic is realistic? New sports venues are not built regularly. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Swedish women's history
- Propose merging Category:Swedish women's history to Category:History of women in Sweden
- Propose merging Category:Danish women's history to Category:History of women in Denmark
- Nominator's rationale: I am not native English speaker, but I don't perceive difference. If there is difference it should be mentioned at category's header Estopedist1 (talk) 13:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support - you might wish to add Category:Sri Lankan women's history. Oculi (talk) 15:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Done below. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Sri Lankan women's history to Category:History of women in Sri Lanka.
Category:Estonian government officials
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article is already properly categorized to Category:Estonian civil servants. In addition: unique category name in Baltoscandinavia countries categories Estopedist1 (talk) 08:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Aren't the whole trees of Category:Government officials and Category:Civil servants strongly overlapping? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Icelandic superheroes
- Propose merging Category:Icelandic superheroes to Category:Fictional Icelandic people
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Fictional Icelandic people, Category:European superheroes) Estopedist1 (talk) 08:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- The category has been emptied. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Icelandic psychics
- Propose merging Category:Icelandic psychics to Category:Icelandic people
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Icelandic people, Category:Psychics) Estopedist1 (talk) 08:26, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support but only merge to Category:Psychics. The article is already in subcategories of Category:Icelandic people. A number of sibling categories may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Icelandic landlords
- Propose merging Category:Icelandic landlords to Category:Icelandic people
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Icelandic people, Category:Landlords) Estopedist1 (talk) 08:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support but only merge to Category:Landlords. The article is already in another subcategory of Category:Icelandic people. A number of sibling categories may be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Estopedist1: please bundle nominations for multiple countries together. It is very inefficient to discuss one country at a time. See my comments in your previous nominations. Also, please add all merge targets in the first line of your nomination. By including them in the rationale, as you do now, you just make it harder for anyone to close the discussion. Check how other editors do this. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Bird observatories in Norway
- Propose merging Category:Bird observatories in Norway to Category:Birdwatching sites in Norway
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Birdwatching sites in Norway, Category:Bird observatories and Category:Ornithology in Norway and Category:Environmental education by region). Estopedist1 (talk) 07:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Merge, but to Category:Birdwatching sites in Norway and Category:Bird observatories only. Category:Ornithology in Norway and Category:Environmental education are parent categories of the former. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Estonian educational websites
- Propose merging Category:Estonian educational websites to Category:Estonian websites
- Propose merging Category:Latvian educational websites to Category:Latvian websites
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Sole article to be upmerged to parent category/categories (id est: Category:Estonian websites and Category:Educational websites and Category:Education in Estonia). Estopedist1 (talk) 06:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- I guess the Latvian category needs other targets. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Category:Places named Eva
- Nominator's rationale: A trivial intersection, redundant to a disambiguation page. Does not exist for much more well-known cases. CMD (talk) 03:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete junk created by an annoying user who likes to create junk for others to clean up. Dronebogus (talk) 07:19, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, obvious case of WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:04, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: The reason i created it was for anyone who likes places named eva and in contribution for my sister eva. It was NOT created as "junk". Widget-Policy Thy Editor (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Marcocapelle. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:54, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete — see also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Places Named Eva.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC) - Delete - Useless category, apparent trolling. Creator is a suspected sockmaster who has been disruptively creating blatantly frivolous content; see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Widget-policyq229 silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 05:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
