Creating an Alternative views of... or Criticism of... subcategory or parent category, or implementing some other system of organization, is left to editors' discretion and good judgment (and, perhaps, consensus reached through preliminary discussion). Regarding the ability of readers to use the category—a topic which was raised close to the end of the discussion—I will note that the category currently contains about 20 pages, so some reorganization may have taken place already. -- |

| Category:American football in the United States by state |
no consensus to get rid of Category:American football in the United States by state, but the situation has changed slightly since the nomination began, since one of the participants here has (tsk tsk) created the proposed Category:American football in the United States while this discussion was ongoing, and Category:American football in the United States by state has been made a subcategory of the new category. I'm not sure if this state of affairs makes everybody happy or not, but certainly Category:American football in the United States by state could be renominated for deletion if the situation is still viewed by some as unsatisfactory. |

Note that this didn't resolve what to do with Category:Hong Kong people of Shundenese descent: probably for good reasons, there is no Category:Hong Kong people of Chinese descent to merge to. This probably should be followed up on with a new nomination. For now, it is in Category:People from Foshan.
I did not create Category:People from Shunde District but this can be created if someone wants it to exist. |

Finally, note that this is re-creation of material that has been previously deleted by consensus. Users should note per the WP:OWN policy (which presumably can be applied to categories) that not every nomination of one's own creation should be taken personally. |

| Category:Igbo players of American football |
Merge denied.. My reasoning is this: although the category "Igbo Players of American Football" might at first blush seem very similar to (say) the category "Canadian Players of American Football", they actually are quite different and have different parentage. "Canadian Players of American Football" is a child of "Players of American Football by Nationality" which is part of the grouping of sports people by nationality. "Igbo Players of American Football" is not a part of this lineage, instead it traces to "Igbo Sportspeople" which is part of the grouping of people by ethnicity and occupation |

rename to Category:Activists for Hispanic and Latino American civil rights. I make the following observations: (1) There is a consensus that this needs to be renamed. (2) There is a consensus to use "for" rather than "of". (3) There is no consensus in this discussion what comes after "for" and before "civil rights". Therefore, I am defaulting to "Hispanic and Latino American" for the reasons given by Mayumashu—"Hispanic and Latino American" is the standard generic term in WP for this concept. Adding "... in the United States" would be redundant to "American". |

no consensus. It's a shame to do that, since there is consensus that the names should match (just not what the name should be). I can't move a page without a move discussion on the talk page, of course, but I think that discussion should be had there. It seems likely that some of the folks who argued to rename would agree with renaming the article instead, but didn't weigh back in here after that was suggested. (If the move discussion results in a decision to keep the page where it is, I think it would be wise to immediately bring this back to CFD, and hopefully the folks who argued for moving the article will then be ok with moving the cat instead.) |
