The proposed Short Stories category, is that a single short story or a collection? Related question. Anthology: a published collection of writings (such as poems or short stories) by different authors (Merriam-Webster). I'm going to go with the assumption that Short Stories as a category would be a book containing a number of short works by a single author and representative of that author's work. So I will third it.

I therefore humbly suggest that if someone is keen for a particular type, he try to merge it with a category already nominated, if possible.

Not exactly what category(ies) you are speaking of. Science Fiction vs Science to my mind are only related through both including the word science. Science Fiction is very much just fiction, the "science" is more "fantasy" than science, and the first is just telling a fictional tale while the other is educational. I'd say much the same about the Historical Fiction vs History category. How people will vote is another matter. I know that I will vote for Science, but not for Science Fiction.
