:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Firstly, I can't see many people searching for international boxing champions of any weight class; they're generally not very notable nor held in high regard (even those from the major sanctioning bodies). Secondly, the description is far too vague; it says it is to list boxers who have held international titles from the WBA, WBC, "and others", which opens the category up to the countless irrelevant, minor sanctioning bodies like the WBU, WBF, IBA, IBU (of which International titles are even more irrelevant). Lastly, I presume that the category is intended for boxing titles that have the word "International" included in the name (e.g. WBA International light-heavyweight title), but unless specified as such, it can be left open to interpretation and include any title eligible to be contested between two or more nations (anything above national level, probably 80% of boxing titles). Even when specified and limited to the four major organisations, I still can't see many people searching for this category. If we have this, then we might as well have the same for European, Continental, Inter-Continental and all the other (irrelevant) regional titles awarded by the four major sanctioning bodies. ].].] 13:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC) :'''Nominator's rationale:''' Firstly, I can't see many people searching for international boxing champions of any weight class; they're generally not very notable nor held in high regard (even those from the major sanctioning bodies).

August 3

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Historians of Socialism

Nominator's rationale: To match Category:History of socialism and proper capitalization rules. User:Namiba 15:58, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Good idea. User:Mercer17 16:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Unassessed-Class chess articles of Mid-importance

Nominator's rationale: Correct name (see, for example, Category:Unassessed chess articles). 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:08, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:International light-heavyweight boxing champions

Nominator's rationale: Firstly, I can't see many people searching for international boxing champions of any weight class; they're generally not very notable nor held in high regard (even those from the major sanctioning bodies). Secondly, the description is far too vague; it says it is to list boxers who have held international titles from the WBA, WBC, "and others", which opens the category up to the countless irrelevant, minor sanctioning bodies like the WBU, WBF, IBA, IBU (of which International titles are even more irrelevant). Lastly, I presume that the category is intended for boxing titles that have the word "International" included in the name (e.g. WBA International light-heavyweight title), but unless specified as such, it can be left open to interpretation and include any title eligible to be contested between two or more nations (anything above national level, probably 80% of boxing titles). Even when specified and limited to the four major organisations, I still can't see many people searching for this category. If we have this, then we might as well have the same for European, Continental, Inter-Continental and all the other (irrelevant) regional titles awarded by the four major sanctioning bodies. .O. 13:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Catherine of Alexandria

Nominator's rationale: Too little content for an eponymous category. The main category is also overcategorized, so it seems like very few of the articles in it or the subcat need to be categorized into any of those parent categories. The subcat is already part of an established scheme, so removing this won't impact it re: navigation. ―Justin (koavf)TCM09:51, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep Not only do some of the sub cats hold other articles, but this corresponds with the structure of the images that are on file at the Commons. --evrik  12:18, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Delete including subcategory (which I have tagged as well), all of it is a matter of shared name, not shared content. Nothing except the main article and the painting is about the person Catherine of Alexandria. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:11, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Individual rocket vehicles

Nominator's rationale: More WP:NATURAL name. Soumya-8974 contribs 04:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:African-American university presidents

Nominator's rationale: Not all colleges are universities. We recently renamed WP:WikiProject Universities to WP:WikiProject Higher Education because of this concern, and the parent category of this category is Category:Heads of universities and colleges in the United States. People like G. Gabrielle Starr (president of Pomona College) belong in this category, since there's no Category:African-American college presidents, but can't be safely put here until it's renamed. {{u|Sdkb}}03:49, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Rating

Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. Rating is a non-trivial disambiguation page, and the word has several distinct meanings: see e.g. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rating, https://www.dictionary.com/browse/rating.
Alternatively, convert it to a {{Category disambiguation}} page. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:New England ancestry Wikipedians

Nominator's rationale: I am not sure what purpose state-level ancestry categories serve in the first place, but placing that aside... This intermediate (regional) level between the country-level and state-level categories is unnecessary and hinders navigation. -- Black Falcon 03:06, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
