See also Category:Heirs apparent who never acceded and Category:Usurpers." However this seems hard to define. If it is keep, it should be renamed to "Rebel princes" as otherwise it sounds like a personality trait rather than someone who was a rebel (modeled off of Category:Rebel slaves

- Category:Members of the Aycinena family in Central America: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Aycinena family; notified Nerdoguate (talk · contribs) 02:43, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

- Reason: I'm not sure that this intersection of type of crime, gender, and age is a notable intersection. I'm on the fence, and figured it was worth bringing to CFD to get some opinions

- Reason: I don't think we need to diffuse by german vs west german. The intersection of nationality is only there to help diffusion, and I don't think we really need to diffuse by when/where in germany they died by suicide
- Category:Nazis who committed suicide in Nazi Germany: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Nazis who committed suicide in Germany; notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 22:37, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Death in Italy by place: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Death in Italy; notified Philafrenzy (talk · contribs) 05:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge for now. It's unhelpful for navigation to have two cities tucked away from the parent category. If kept, it should be renamed to "by location" or "by city"
- Category:Greek journalists by century: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Greek journalists; notified Giovanni 0331 (talk · contribs) 19:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Ion Dragoumis: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Greco22 (talk · contribs) 19:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: There's only a page and a template in here, which isn't helpful for navigation
- Category:American women executed for witchcraft: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Executed American women, Category:American people executed for witchcraft; notified Sawyer-mcdonell (talk · contribs) 22:39, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge as I'm not sure that we should be distinguishing at the intersection of gender, nationality and type of crime. This does not seem in the keeping of WP:EGRS. If kept, this category should be non-diffusing
- Category:Women executed in the Salem witch trials: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:People executed in the Salem witch trials, Category:Executed American women; notified Sawyer-mcdonell (talk · contribs) 22:42, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Applied mathematicians by nationality: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Applied mathematicians; notified SimeonManier (talk · contribs) 17:38, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Translators of Axel Munthe: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Translators; notified Headhitter (talk · contribs) 17:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Coptic sculptors: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Coptic artists, Category:Sculptors; notified Solar-Wind (talk · contribs) 22:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Dual merge for now. This category is underpopulated, and should be upmerged, as right now it doesn't help navigation to have only one person in here

- Category:Artists by culture: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Artists; notified Sparkit (talk · contribs) 00:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: It is extremely unclear to me how to diffuse artists by culture. Some of these are religion, region, and ethnicity. We don't have a People by culture category.
- Category:Lists of painters by religion: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Lists of painters, Category:Lists of people by religion; notified Wmpearl (talk · contribs) 00:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:7th-century Indian novels: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:7th century in India; notified Aristophanes68 (talk · contribs) 00:35, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have a category with a single page in it. (The lone page is already in 7th-century novels)
- Category:20th century in outer space: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:20th century in space 03:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: parent Category:Space by century and older sibling cat use the term "space" not outerspace Category:21st century in space
- Category:1949 in spaceflight: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:1940s in spaceflight; notified Randy Kryn (talk · contribs) 03:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Irish-language singers by century: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Irish-language singers 20:23, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge for now. There's no need to isolate two underpopulated categories. It's unhelpful for navigation
- Category:Women Irish-language singers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Irish-language singers; notified BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs) 20:26, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think that the intersection of language and gender and occupation is defining. (Single merge because all three women are also in the irish women singers categories)
- Category:14th-century Neo-Latin writers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:14th-century writers in Latin; notified JimKillock (talk · contribs) 20:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Sex workers by cause of death: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Sex workers 21:58, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Medieval European scribes: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Medieval scribes; notified Johnbod (talk · contribs) 01:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: There's no need to narrow this category to only European scribes. The sibling category, "Category:Ancient scribes" doesn't constrain themselves to a single continent.
- Category:Kamrupi literary figures: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Kamrupi writers; notified Bhaskarbhagawati (talk · contribs) 01:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Native American people in Minnesota: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Native American people from Minnesota 05:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: siblings in Category:Native American people in the United States by state are all "from" not "in"
- Category:Native American people from the San Francisco Bay Area: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Native American people from California; notified Anomalous+0 (talk · contribs) 05:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Countesses of Urgell: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Counts of Urgell, Category:Spanish countesses; notified Pichpich (talk · contribs) 19:36, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge. No need to distinguish the gender for counts of a region.
- Category:Book publishers (people) of the Holy Roman Empire: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Book publishers (people) from the Holy Roman Empire 20:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Artists from the Province of Canada: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Province of Canada people, Category:Canadian artists; notified Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) 21:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-defining intersection between "pre-Confederation Canada" era and occupation.
- Category:Financial commentators by nationality: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Financial commentators; notified Backendgaming (talk · contribs) 21:36, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge for now. There are only two categories in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. I'm also skeptical as to whether we really need to diffuse by nationality at all.
- Category:Israeli social commentators: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Israeli commentators; notified RedEye98 (talk · contribs) 21:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: broaden the category because there isn't a "social commentators" parent category
- Category:Hồ Văn Trung: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Bảo Ngậu (talk · contribs) 21:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unhelpful for navigation to have a page and a single category (which also only has one page)
- Category:Artists from the Kingdom of Hawai'i: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Hawaiian Kingdom artists 22:25, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: norm in Category:Hawaiian Kingdom people is Hawaiian Kingdom foo
- Category:20th-century American people by occupation and state: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:20th-century American people by state, Category:American people by occupation and state or territory; notified Sahaib (talk · contribs) 01:20, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Dual upmerge for now. There's not enough occupations in here to justify a subcategory. It's not helpful for navigation to have only one category in here.
- Category:Countesses of Ribagorza: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Spanish countesses; notified Spiderjerky (talk · contribs) 01:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Merge. Does not seem to be a defining feature for the only page member. Also worth noting that there is no equivalent category for "Count of Ribagorza"
- Category:Countesses of Barcelona: nominated at CfD (CfS); splitting to Category:Spanish countesses, Category:People from the County of Barcelona; notified The Emperor's New Spy (talk · contribs) 01:28, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

- Category:Meitei people by occupation: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Lancepark (talk · contribs) 02:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Reason: Unhelpful for navigation. The only "occupation" in here isn't actually about people from that ethnic group, but is for actors in "Meitei cinema".

- Reason: In the same spirit as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_October_4#Category:American_people_by_city_and_occupation, I think we should broaden this category to populated place.

- Reason: Manual merge, "The Free City of Danzig was a city-state under the protection and oversight of the League of Nations between 1920 and 1939, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig". I don't think that this intersection is defining or helpful for emigrants as they are emigrating away from Danzig. I don't think we should merge into Category:People from the Free City of Danzig because that isn't defining for any of the people here. And arguably I think that it is overcategorized

- Reason: This seems like a non-defining intersection. At the very least, I think it needs to be renamed to make it clearer. The page description is quite specific... "Early photographers is meant here as: active before 1948, in Ottoman Palestine (from the invention of photography until 1917–1918), and in British-ruled Palestine (from the conquest in the First World War until withdrawal in May 1948). In this time "Palestine" and "Palestinian" did not have a single ethno-political significance, being used for a politically dependent territory and all of its inhabitants. Western photographers active in Palestine/the Holy Land during this period also belong added here, as do Armenian, Christian Arab, Jewish, Muslim Arab and any other resident photographers."

In order for this to be possibly made into a credible/balanced wikipedia article a lot of work is needed, and that assumes that it even warrents a page. As far as I can tell, this is not a commonly used measure. (And I say that as someone who teaches classes about personality psychology and psychological testing.)
