Conclusion

• Keep 1. Sum of integers in string
• Retire 2. Sum up the random string after CoffeeScript translation gets moved
• Retire 3. Summy after NIM translation gets moved
• Retire 4. How many animals are there?
• Keep 5. Responsible Drinking
• Retire 6. String Calculator

Filling gaps

• Move CoffeeScript translation from 2. to 1.
• Move NIM translation from 3. to 1.

Kata 1., 2., and 4. seem to be exact duplicates and are slightly more demanding than the rest. I think 1. would be the best to keep due to amount of languages.
Kata 5. is similar to above, but numbers are always 1-9, and output must be formatted in a simple way. Is it sufficiently different for a white kata? I think it's not, I'd vote to retire it.
Kata 3. and 6. are very similar to each other as they have fixed separators. Maybe 3. would be good to keep? I think 6. can go away.

keep 1, retire all others. They are all too much similar (when not nearly identical)

I think it is better to sort these kata by the solution required:

• Kata 1 & 2 require some form of parsing (probably regex) before summation
• Kata 3 & 6 merely require splitting on a fixed delimiter
• Kata 4 & 5 require splitting on a fixed delimiter, but requires an additional filter for non-numbers

Based on this, I think that the first group is sufficiently different from the rest, to warrant keeping one of them, and I would choose 1 based on number of translations. Between the rest, I think the additional filtering step is nice, especially at 7kyu. So between kata 4 & 5 I would choose 5 based once again on number of languages.

In summary: Keep 1 and 5, retire the rest.

[EloiseRosen]

keep 1 and 5 only sounds good to me

[KayleighWasTaken]

Keep 1, 3, 5 I think?

3 is the least attractive to keep, maybe rerank it as 8kyu if that's possible?
