[edit]Category:1920s Mexican film stubs
[edit]- Propose merging Category:1920s Mexican film stubs to Category:1920s film stubs and Category:Mexican film stubs
- Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category. As always, stub categories are not free for just anybody to create willy-nilly, and have to have around 60 articles before they can be created -- but there are just six articles here, and a full AWB comparison between Category:Mexican films and Category:1920s film stubs failed to find 54 more. Bearcat (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Apologies for the oversight. Οἶδα (talk) 23:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:USOPC profile template using accessdate parameter
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Parameter
|accessdate=
of Template:USOPC profile stopped being used together with the category in Special:Diff/1168233416. —andrybak (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)- Delete. As the creator of the category, I agree with deleting it. My apologies for not requesting a speedy deletion when I removed this tracking category from the template. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:03, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedians in Bombay Beach, California
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Bombay Beach, California has only a few hundred inhabitants, and apparently none of them edit Wikipedia (since the category holds no users). jlwoodwa (talk) 20:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:46, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Sofascore template using numeric ID
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: The Template:Sofascore has stopped using this category in Special:Diff/1197330180. —andrybak (talk) 20:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As the person who removed this tracking category from the template, I agree with deleting it. My apologies for not requesting a deletion at that time. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Female-fronted musical groups
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Because:
- Doesn't work when considering bands with a mix of male and female vocalists such as Fleetwood Mac and Svalbard, it would be better to just put "mixed gender bands" and "all female bands". Also places undue weight and scrutiny on women in (the) band/s, potentially/usually against their wishes
- I don't think that being "female" is an inherent musical characteristic. It is not a genre, and I feel that it reduces/ghettoizes frontwomen in bands are based on/to their sex rather than their music (not to mention the use of "front"). There are traits in music that can be defined as feminine and masculine (which are available to musicians of ALL genders), which is something you can infer from listening and evaluate. being a woman is literally as surface level as you can get in musical evaluation. plus screaming growling singing etc is not limited to one gender.
- Listed here are a few articles by reliable sources, written/featuring commentators and musicians, discussing the problem of definining music by gender/using the term "female fronted".
Discuss, I guess. Chchcheckit (talk) 20:57, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also: it categorizes a thousand bands into one thing when they don't sound alike or have much in common besides being women. "women heavy metal singers" is fine, but this is just hasty generalization Chchcheckit (talk) 21:04, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Royal Belgian Football Association player template using non-numeric ID
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Usage of this category was removed from Template:Royal Belgian Football Association player in Special:Diff/1125288254. —andrybak (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As the creator of the category, I agree with deleting it. My apologies for not requesting a speedy deletion when I removed this tracking category from the template. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Countries in Europe by region
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Previously deleted after discussion as seen here Moxy🍁 19:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- keep - useful category for several existing subcategories, same category exists for other continents, see Category:Countries in Africa by region, Category:Countries in Asia by region, and Category:Countries in Oceania by region. Geapply (talk) 19:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete as per the previous arguments. It can only be a very short finite list that doesn't actually help define anything. Plus the amount of edit wars over what region a country is in is ridiculous. Provides no advantage to the encyclopaedia. Canterbury Tail talk 20:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Moxy: don't you intend to nominate the subcategories? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as WP:CSD#G4 from this CfD. Nobody (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: The contents of the category are substantially different to how they were in the previous CfD. The subcategories are legitimte and are better contained in this category than upmerged into either of the parents. Mclay1 (talk) 04:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Western European countries
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Previously deleted after discussion as seen here Moxy🍁 19:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. It is not clear at all where western Europe begins or ends. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Very common and accepted classification of countries. The obvious way to avoid debate over which countries are contained is to use the largest reliably sourced definition and clarify it refers to geography and not political alignment. Mclay1 (talk) 04:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- A very nice illustration that this is very fuzzy is Wikipedia itself (although not a reliable source) that says that Germany is in central Europe rather than western Europe, and the Netherlands in northwestern Europe rather than in western Europe. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:16, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:United States Army Air Forces officer trainees
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Non defining category. These are effectively people who didn't become officers Mason (talk) 18:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, they served in the Army Air Forces, but were neither officers nor enlisted. The recommended parent cat is essentially a container cat with subcats only. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 18:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please review what defining mean. @FieldMarine (It'll help you make better counter arguments). They may indeed be United States Army Air Forces officer trainees (a.k.a. neither officers nor enlisted), but that's not how these people are regularly described. Mason (talk) 19:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- They cat description summarizes what the cat represents, and that is reflected in how they are described in the articles with the cat. There are many types of officer trainees depending on what program of entry they sign up for (ROTC, OCS, Aviation Cadet, etc.) but as a whole, the group is a distinct classification in the U.S. military. Of note, in the case of Aviation Cadet, they often held the rank for extended period of time, as did Midshipmen in the Navy. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 19:54, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please review what defining mean. @FieldMarine (It'll help you make better counter arguments). They may indeed be United States Army Air Forces officer trainees (a.k.a. neither officers nor enlisted), but that's not how these people are regularly described. Mason (talk) 19:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, Template:Category diffuse does not intend to fully prohibit articles directly in the category. A few exceptions is ok. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Rugby Africa Cup
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: There is a speedy request to move Category:Africa Cup to Category:Rugby Africa Cup. To preserve the category history the newly created category needs to be deleted and the speedy move actioned. Bcp67 (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment, the speedy move already took place, with preservation of history. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:People from Siemiatycze
[edit]- Propose merging Category:People from Siemiatycze to Category:People from Siemiatycze County
- Propose merging Category:Politicians from Siemiatycze to Category:People from Siemiatycze County
- Nominator's rationale: Small categories (only one person in the people category and only two in the politicians category) for a small (pop. 14K) town. As always, this would be fine if there were a lot more people from Siemiatycze to file in it than this, but every town does not automatically need or get one of these the moment just a couple of people with Wikipedia articles have been from there -- and since we already have the county-level category, which only has eight people in it and thus isn't in any desperate need of diffusion, there's no significant loss of context in just using that instead. Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:ESPN FC template using numeric ID
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Template:ESPN FC stopped using this category in Special:Diff/886229099. —andrybak (talk) 13:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As the creator of the category, I agree with deleting it. My apologies for not requesting a speedy deletion when I removed this tracking category from the template. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:09, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:FootballDatabase.eu template using non-numeric ID
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Template:FootballDatabase.eu stopped using this category for tracking in 2022, see Special:Diff/1125919207. —andrybak (talk) 13:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- See also Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion § C4 – unused maintenance categories. —andrybak (talk) 13:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. As the creator of the category, I agree with deleting it. My apologies for not requesting a speedy deletion when I removed this tracking category from the template. -- Zyxw (talk) 02:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Princes of Venice
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic, neither for the vice roy of Kingdom of Italy (Napoleonic) neither for the claimed head of the former royal family of Italy. And these two articles is all there is in the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:16, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete/turn to list of disam page At the moment Prince of Venice redirects to the Napoleonic one; probably a list/disam page would be better. Johnbod (talk) 15:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Kevin Costner albums
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: There has only been one item in this category for the last sixteen years. Overcategorization. Nicholas0 (talk) 12:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per MOS:ALBUM but rename to Category:Kevin Costner & Modern West albums per Kevin Costner & Modern West. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:22, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Category:Breeds originating from Indigenous people
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: rename for clarification. Also, I have just added this to the tree of Category:Mammal breeds. An alternative could be to upmerge the category to Category:Mammal breeds and Category:Indigenous culture. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Suggestion. What about Breeds/Mammal breeds domesticated by Indigenous people? The current name and the proposal both sound really awkward to me. Mason (talk) 19:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Mammal breeds domesticated by Indigenous peoples – "peoples" plural per the article title Indigenous peoples. Ham II (talk) 21:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Agree with "peoples". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:Philippine Sports Commission
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Unneeded eponymous category that contains nothing apart from the main article. Paul_012 (talk) 04:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Update: In light of the population of the category since the nomination, I'm willing to withdraw my nomination (though it should continue as there has also been another delete !vote). --Paul_012 (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose At the time of nominate, indeed the category contained only the eponymous article. I have since added applicable entries to the category. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 06:33, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Lean delete, I can't think of any other example of buildings and structures categorized by who maintains them. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Multiple citizenship
[edit]- Option A: rename Category:Multiple citizenship to Category:Multiple nationality.
- OR: option B: rename Category:People with multiple nationality to Category:People with multiple citizenship.
- Rationale: consistency. Until other arguments weigh in, option B is the preferred option per article title Multiple citizenship. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Asian conservative liberals
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: These categories are extremely vague. An extremely CFD on classically similar categories have been purged Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_3#Classical_liberals Mason (talk) 02:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Then what about Category:European conservative liberals and subcategories? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Category:LGBT men artists
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:LGBT men artists to Category:LGBT male artists
- Nominator's rationale: Moving to [full]. Norm is "Male artists". For the record, the speedy rename was supported by the category creator. @MikutoH and Marcocapelle: discussants. Mason (talk) 12:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per LGBT men, Transgender men and their eponymous categories. Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: then all these categories need renaming. --MikutoH talk! 22:59, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand how this is awkward. @Marcocapelle Trans men who do art are male artists. Mason (talk) 02:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: the terms female and male are often associated with sex assigned at birth. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: I asked an expert and that is a myth. Polygnotus (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- This is not about facts (so it can't be a myth), this is just how language is being used. For example [1]. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: The expert said that
Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward.
is alexicological myth
. I am not sure why you linked to that webpage. The expert also said:"Male" and "female" can refer to gender, "man" and "woman" to sex
. Trans men who do art are male artists. Polygnotus (talk) 11:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)- I linked to the web page exactly because it discusses "male assigned at birth" and "female assigned at birth" in transgender context. Besides, asking an expert is WP:OR and unverifiable. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Can you quote which part(s) of that webpage you think support your claim that
Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward
? What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence (and certainly after consulting an expert). Polygnotus (talk) 13:18, 28 July 2024 (UTC)- Ok, "awkward" may not have been the right word. "Confusing" or "ambiguous" suits better. Information presented at Wikipedia should not be ambiguous, that is my point. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:24, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Can you quote which part(s) of that webpage you think support your claim that
- @Marcocapelle: The expert said that
- @Marcocapelle: I asked an expert and that is a myth. Polygnotus (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Do you have any sources for the claim that calling transgender men "male" could be slightly confusing or ambiguous? And can you please doublecheck that with a person or source you trust because I believe that is incorrect. Polygnotus (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have already said that the terms female and male are often associated with sex assigned at birth and given a source for that. And no, I am not going to come up with unverifiable information like you do, that is entirely against the spirit of Wikipedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: So, in summary: you wrote something that isn't true (
Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly awkward
), I tried to help you by pointing it out, then you changed it to two other claims that are also not true ("Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly confusing" and "Calling transgender men "male" could be slightly ambiguous") and now you made a new claim (I have already said that the terms female and male are often associated with sex assigned at birth and given a source for that.
) that also isn't true (that source does not support that claim). You are perhaps misremembering the part where it says:Youth reported their sex assigned at birth by answering: “What is your sex?” Response options were female or male. Although this question does not refer to sex assigned at birth specifically, several studies have found that TGD youth are likely to understand “sex” to be sex assigned at birth rather than gender identity
(the source says that the word "sex" is understood to mean sex assigned at birth rather than gender identity, not that the words "male" and "female" are associated with sex assigned at birth). I have asked you to provide a source for your claims that calling transgender men "male" could be slightly confusing or ambiguous and in response you wrote:I am not going to come up with unverifiable information like you do
. That does not make sense. Polygnotus (talk) 14:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)- You did not try to help at all. It has meanwhile become obvious that you are just trying to derail the discussion. I will not further react. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: So, in summary: you wrote something that isn't true (
- @Marcocapelle: Do you have any sources for the claim that calling transgender men "male" could be slightly confusing or ambiguous? And can you please doublecheck that with a person or source you trust because I believe that is incorrect. Polygnotus (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support to cancel out Marcocapelle's !vote based on incorrect reasoning. Trans men who do art are male artists. Polygnotus (talk) 16:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Why Category:Male artists and Category:Women artists but not Category:Men artists or Category:Female artists? Is it because of grammar or something else? --MikutoH talk! 23:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @MikutoH are you going to make vote? You're allowed as the category creator. Mason (talk) 02:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @MikutoH: did vote but on the talkpage, not here. I have left a message on their talkpage asking them to vote here. Polygnotus (talk) 17:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I changed my mind and I'm neutral now. No one answered me: is the adjective women grammatical? Two editors said male exclude trans men. So what's the best?
- It looks like more an undebated Wikipedia convention. --MikutoH talk! 22:50, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Literary critics by ethnicity
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Literary critics by ethnicity to Category:Literary critics
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have a single category isolated like this. Mason (talk) 01:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I created the category because I needed a parent category for Category:Aromanian literary critics. Now it is getting nominated for deletion. Sooner or later someone editing in the Kurdish topic area (for example) will also need this category (unless no Kurdish literary critics have ever existed). They'll create the category and again it will have one single member and find itself here. What is the sense of this? Just leave the category and it will enlarge with time. There is no benefit from this. Super Ψ Dro 09:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Now there's another category. Super Ψ Dro 09:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please don't make categories with one page in them. Creating Kurdish literary critics isn't helpful unless you populate it. Mason (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Why are you requesting me that I do not create appropriate categories? There must surely be other Kurdish literary critics, this is an ethnic group of around 40 million people. It is not helpful to expect one user to bother addressing arbitrary nitpicks in obscure technical areas of Wikipedia rather than letting the categories naturally grow. Deleting the categories is helpful to exactly zero readers. Super Ψ Dro 16:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have spent 20 minutes looking through Kurdish writer biographies to find literary critics. The category now has 5 people. There were some other biographies who were described as "critics" which were probably fit for the category but didn't want to risk it because I am not an expert on Kurdish topics. It should have been someone who was, rather than me pushed by an useless nomination, that populated the category.
- Regarding Aromanians I am the author of dozens of Aromanian biographies in Wikipedia. I will eventually get my way to other Aromanian literary critics and use the category. I wouldn't have created the category if I didn't know it'd be included into several biographies in the future. The category will exist in some years anyway and deleting it right now is only to fullfill a false sense of order. I ask not to be pushed into rushing new articles just for the sake of this nomination. This is not the purpose of volunteering at Wikipedia. Super Ψ Dro 17:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- It should be under Category:Literary critics by language if it concerns an ethnolinguistic group, and if that is not the case then it is a trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:04, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
It should be under Category:Literary critics by language if it concerns an ethnolinguistic group
this is your own opinion. We have many categories of profession and ethnicity. Language and ethnicity are not the same, the latter categories are necessary for stateless groups. In some of the categories at Category:Literary critics by language, there are people not belonging to the ethnic groups that speak those languages. For example at Category:Literary critics of Arabic there are Luc-Willy Deheuvels and Emilio García Gómez. Super Ψ Dro 16:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Category:Expatriates from the Kingdom of Prussia in Congress Poland
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. This category is extremely narrow, has only one person in it, and neither of these nations presently exist. Mason (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle except the article is about an emigrant rather than an expatriate, so I would suggest moving the article to Category:Emigrants from the Kingdom of Prussia to the Russian Empire instead of the proposed merge targets. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 11:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Video games about the military to Category:Military and war video games
- Nominator's rationale: This category is now a subcategory of Category:Video games by narrative genre. For the sake of consistency with other subcats in this category, it should be renamed with the subject up front instead of "Video games about...". Besides, this is new name would just roll off the tongue better IMO. AHI-3000 (talk) 00:17, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- In the previous discussion a good point was made that "military" instead of "war" makes it more managable. With a bit of exaggeration almost every video game contains elements of war, that is too broad. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: I think "Military and war video games" isn't too ambiguous of a title. I think that name implies exactly that, games which thematically revolve around militaries and military conflicts. It's not about any generic violent conflict, some game about a gang war belongs in Category:Organized crime video games for example. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:23, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: As per Comedy in video games there is no proof that a "comedy video game" genre actually exists, and while there are categories for "parody" or "satire", that is more self-evident. Comedy comes in numerous forms, making the separation between comedic and non-comedic unclear (I could call Garry's Mod a "comedy" game even if it is all unintentional). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. What about licensed video game adaptations of comedy movies and shows? Category:Parody video games and Category:Satirical video games have significant overlap with this category, I'd argue many of the games listed here could be categorized as comedy games, what makes these subcategories more legit than the parent category? AHI-3000 (talk) 07:50, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Parody and satire might actually merit a merge into each other, but they are indicative of a clear attempt to mock the original source material which is quickly evident. McPixel is obviously a parody of MacGuyver. Meanwhile, comedic video games are rarely classified as such. I don't see anyone calling Drakengard 3 a comedy game despite in my experience being heavily humorous, people classify it as an action game. Comedy and parody/satire are not the same. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per previous category deletion in 2017 after a similar discussion. No such genre is discussed in reliable, secondary sources as associated with these entries and makes for blurry inclusion criteria. The "subcategories" do not require this parent category. czar 12:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Do any "reliable sources" claim that there's evidence of a Parody or Satire genre for video games either? How are these terms any less subjective or more objective than for Comedy games? AHI-3000 (talk) 00:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Dimadick: What do you think of this? AHI-3000 (talk) 08:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I seriously have no idea whether there are comedic video games. I am not familiar with sources on this topic. Dimadick (talk) 08:49, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- At least with parody or satire reliable sources might discuss it as being a major trait. Rarely the case with "comedy/comedic" games. I wouldn't oppose deleting the parody and satire subcategories but imagine they're most useful to breakdown the overall "satire" category into something more browsable. czar 16:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- Google search for "comedy video games".
- Not sure how many of these websites are considered to be reliable sources according to Wikipedia policies, but for what it's worth there does seem to be a belief that Comedy exists as a narrative genre for video games, akin to Horror, Fantasy or Science Fiction.
- Also, please take a look at the "Comedy video games" category. Admittedly, most of the subcategories are for licensed adaptations of various film and TV franchises which everyone agrees are primarily comedic by nature. Games based on comedy movies and shows tend to also be comedic and heavily focused on humor.
- And another thing to consider is that there are non-adaptational video game franchises that are known for having a mostly comedic tone. Some notable examples are Borderlands, Destroy All Humans!, Monkey Island, Ratchet & Clank, and Saints Row. And I'm quite certain that there are countless reliable sources which describe these games' focus on humor and satire.

- Per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 March 6#Category:Comedy video games,
Unlike film and television, "comedy" is not a defining genre of video games—not used academically and not used as a thematic genre in reviews.
Elements can be discussed as comedic but games are not discussed as genre classification ("a comedy") the same way they are discussed as "a satire" or "a parody". czar 16:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)- Can you give a more recent argument than an old discussion from 2017? Can you disprove the examples I gave of the comedic video game series I mentioned, with reviewers and other sources describing their focus on humorous elements? Or the numerous video game adaptations of comedy movies and TV shows? AHI-3000 (talk) 19:52, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think WP:THREE applies here. Asking people to sort through thousands of google search results isn't a particularly compelling argument. If you think "comedy game" is a real genre, find your best 3 sources that establish that and post them. Axem Titanium (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. Attempt to revive a deleted category that editors considered non-defining, comedy just appears to be a quirk or an unintentional mishap when it comes to video games. I am also considering that AHI-3000's new "Video games by narrative genre" category to be merged back into "Video games by theme." or at least just remove the parent category "Video games by genre" from that category... QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - I agree that there's no evidence that such a genre exists, and this horse has already been beaten before. Looking myself, I can find a few mentions of the idea of it as a category, but not enough to establish that it's a well-defined thing. ― novov (t c) 06:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete In a technical sense, a comedy is a story with a happy ending. I understand that the meaning has slipped in popular culture to describe humor. But none of these things are defining features of video games. It leads to an arbitrary category where editors are guessing how much humor needs to be involved before a game can be considered a comedy. It is unverifiable and impractical to maintain. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This is inherently meaningless, so there's no such genre, so WP:RSes do not authoritatively define it. It has already been correctly deleted, and it would have failed a proposal, but the dead-horse-beater didn't propose it for a pre-deletion rejection. So it must be deleted now, like everybody above said. "Humorous elements" is meaningless and does not define a genre. Blurting out a Google search is meaningless.

- I have added the siblings too, they are based on equally arbitrary periods. If not merged, then at least rename "members" to "migrants" or something like that. It does not concern membership of an organization. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge/disperse per Marco's second proposal. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- No, Marco. That’s not going to happen. This is a category specific to the period of the Fourth Aliyah, which was 5 years. We do not want to merge it into a 20 year period of immigration. Dag21902190 (talk) 07:48, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- These are not arbitrary periods, you are flexing your ignorance of Israeli history.
- Furthermore, believe it or not, definition of a “member” is “one of the individuals of a group”. The group of individuals who migrated to the Land of Israel during each Aliyah was a “member” of that respective Aliyah. They have been referred to as members of their respective Aliyot since the founding of the state.
- if you want to change the word “member” for “migrant”, you will have to figure out how to change that on each person’s page. But your statement that “member” only refers to the “member of an organization”, is not true. It is your perspective of the word, but not reality.
- I will note that the time you have dedicated to coming after these unique categories, and attempting to disperse them into the ether, piques my interest. You have spent hours attacking Israeli categories and pages, wasting time that could have been used being productive.
- We will not be doing anything to the categories, as that would be denying the reality of each unique Aliyah.
- I’m starting to have serious questions about the moderators of this platform. Everything Israel-related gets attacked non-stop (in an organized fashion), by people like you, who don’t even know what the Aliyot were! Making claims that each Aliyah is an arbitrary time-period is a blatant lie, and your privileges should be investigated. This is bizarre. Dag21902190 (talk) 13:33, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Furthermore, I find it absolutely fascinating that you nominated the first five Aliyot for dispersal, but left out the Aliyah Bet category. Is it because Aliyah Bet was illegal immigration, and doesn’t make the Jews look good? So you wanted to disperse one through five, and keep just the illegal immigration?
- This entire nomination should be ignored, and the bias you’ve shown by nominating it should come back and bite you. Dag21902190 (talk) 13:42, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- 1st. Category:Aliyah Bet does not contain immigrants, it is a topic category. So that is something completely different. 2nd. Every of these Aliyahs is not a single group, they concern a process of several years with many separate groups and individuals. Group membership is therefore completely inapplicable here. 3rd. Please stop with personal attacks. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I’m not sure what you don’t understand, and the reason you keep doubling down on a subject you know nothing about is beyond me. Each Aliyah had its own unique movement. The facilitators of those Aliyot knew that they were facilitating the first, second, third, fourth, fifth Aliyah, and then Aliyah Bet. These categories organize the early Zionist immigrants to the land of Israel by the specific Aliyah movements that facilitated their immigration. To deny the benefits of these categories, and continue to gaslight me, is just a disingenuous tactic. I frankly consider the mass nominations of my categories for” deletion” and “merging” as vandalism, and an overreach of your privileges. You are not a victim here, you are the attacker. Dag21902190 (talk) 16:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

- You should be investigated by Wikipedia for overreach of your editing privileges. You are stalking my page, attempting to merge all of my work into broader categories that don’t differentiate between Aliyot, (which is the entire point of these categories). This is the 12th category of mine that you have vandalized with some sort of banner, and for no good reason other than it relates to Israel. You didn’t like the word “member”, so I changed it to ”immigrant”. Now you’re making a blatantly false claim that each Aliyah is an arbitrary time period. It doesn’t matter to you if you revise history, as long as you prevent a compartmentalized gold-mine of information, like these categories, from existing. You are working hard to prevent any sort of organization that makes it easy to research the early history of Israel. Dag21902190 (talk) 12:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nothing happened in 1924 that requires a category split for immigrants. It was simply a continuous inflow of immigrants. In addition, my proposal is not preventing anything because all articles will stay in Category:Immigrants to Ottoman Palestine and Category:Immigrants to Mandatory Palestine. Finally these are no longer "your" categories, as soon as you create them they become Wikipedia's. See also WP:OWN. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Incorrect, please do more research. Case in point would be that nearly half of the 2nd Aliyah immigrants returned to their countries of origin, while the vast majority of immigrants of the 3rd Aliyah stayed in Israel.

Keep. I don't see a convincing argument to disperse. Marco points out 5 year periods are arbitrary, but so are centuries. If, as Dag states, there exists a mode of reference that divides the immigrants into 5 periods, and someone may reasonably be taking advantage of that division to differentiate between 2 immigrants from different periods, I don't see any reason to disperse. If Dag just invented this division himself I would agree, but my impression is that this isn't the case.

- Weak keep I'm not confident they can be dismissed as arbitrary periods - insofar that distinct push and pull factors during the different periods makes each wave have its own characteristics - but even if arbitrary periods of early immigration, they are well recognised as distinct periods (at least within Jewish scholarship). Culturally, also, the Israeli concept of "returning home" as part of an Aliyah is distinct from immigration. For these reasons, the people who were part of such migration would most likely identify it with the X Aliyah name, not as anything else. So as long as there is a good source saying that an individual moving to (insert era) Palestine did so as part of an Aliyah, I believe it is a valid identifying category. My one is concern, though, that people who may have migrated and aren’t identified as part of an Aliyah may be added to these categories based on timespan alone; manual sorting could be required which (I know from experience) is exhaustive and nigh-impossible. For simplicity and not being technically untrue, I wouldn’t staunchly object to the merge proposals as laid out. Kingsif (talk) 15:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 11:58, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. Proposal: listify, where it could be better sourced. Currently this content is not discussed in the eponym article, Hijacked journal, nor in most member artciles, e.g., Sylwan. fgnievinski (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep None of these are reasons for deletion. If it's not discussed in each article, it should be. That individuals are not discussed in the main eponimous article is irrelevant, because they shouldn't be. We mention the first known case, Archive des Sciences as an example, but there's no reason to mention the others. WP:NONDEF also does not apply because journals do not control if they are hijacked or not, but it's very much an important thing to know about a journal. And if you want to have a list, have a list, but that does not make the category irrelevant or useless. Also an important defense for WP:CITEWATCH. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, lots of things can be a "important thing to know" (for whom?) but that does not put WP:NONDEF aside. No objection to listification if someone volunteers for that. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- for whom? For the reader. If you stumble upon a citation to e.g. Sylwan, it's important to know that Sylwan was hijacked, and that you may not be looking at the real Sylwan but the fake one. Also, per WP:NONDEF
- a defining characteristic is one that reliable, secondary sources commonly and consistently define, in prose, the subject as having. For example: "Subject is an adjective noun ..." or "Subject, an adjective noun, ...". If such examples are common, each of adjective and noun may be deemed to be "defining" for subject.
- We have multiple reliable sources describing these journals as hijacked
- if the characteristic would not be appropriate to mention in the lead section of an article (determined without regard to whether it is mentioned in the lead), it is probably not defining;
- If it's not mentioned in the lead, it should be.
- if the characteristic falls within any of the forms of overcategorization mentioned on this page, it is probably not defining.
- It doesn't fall into any of them.

- You're missing the gist of NONDEF, so I'll quote:
- A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing the topic, such as the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place.
- It goes on to say:
- if the characteristic would not be appropriate to mention in the lead section of an article (determined without regard to whether it is mentioned in the lead), it is probably not defining;
- No Wikipedia article about a hijacked journal start (or should start) saying "Journal X is a hijacked journal". They just happen to be a victim of a scam. Granted, it's nice to know, but it needs to be sourced; a list would be the best place to cite sources, which is not technically possible in a mere category membership. fgnievinski (talk) 03:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- No Wikipedia article about a hijacked journal start (or should start) saying "Journal X is a hijacked journal". No, but the lead could (and I would argue, should) end with "The journal was hijacked by <organization>, with a fake website at <fakeurldomain>, and the legitimate site hosted at <realurldomain>".[source]" This is absolutely critical information because otherwise someone looking for e.g. Wulfenia could well end up checking the scam version rather than the legit version.

- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reverse merge is actually a better option, per below comments. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- For the record, the precedents were Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 1#People with acquired citizenship or Naturalized citizens and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 9#Category:People with acquired citizenship. – Fayenatic London 12:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Manual reverse merge would be better, I think, because in some cases people become dual nationals without losing the first nationality – in which case they are acquiring rather than changing. Although "Change of nationality" is part of the name of the subcat Category:Change of nationality in sport, that name does not match its stated scope which is "Sportspeople who have represented more than one nation". – Fayenatic London 12:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reverse merge. You don't have to change your original nationality to acquire a new one. Many people have more than one nationality. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I've tagged Category:Change of nationality.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 16:00, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comments
- Category:Acquisition and loss of nationality would be the most accurate name — not necessarily the best one
- There is a broader conflation in the category tree between Category:Nationality and its subcat Category:Citizenship. See Nationality section "Nationality versus citizenship" and table "List of nationalities which do not have full citizenship rights".
- The category should encompass BOTH gaining a new nationality AND losing an old one (Renunciation of citizenship and Category:Denaturalization). As others have said, "Change of nationality" is bad because it suggests a combination of gaining AND losing. OTOH "Acquired citizenship" is bad because it suggests ONLY gaining, NOT losing.
- subcat Category:Change of nationality in sport is not a true subcat. There are subnational and supernational "national" teams and there are sports where non-citizens can represent. It also seems to include things like the people who played for both Czechoslovakia and Slovakia.
- Note: the previous CFD is being reviewed at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2024_July_24#Category:People_with_acquired_citizenship. – Fayenatic London 20:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Baltic Germans
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Baltic Germans to Category:Baltic-German culture
- Nominator's rationale: Three related categories:
I am not sure which way to merge, but current situation makes a mess Estopedist1 (talk) 11:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- what I think should happen is it should be merged into "Category:Baltic-German people", than the page should be split into a new catigory called "Category:Lists of Baltic-German German people". the "Category:Baltic-German culture" should be made a subcategory of Baltic-German people. Zyxrq (talk) 14:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as parent category of Category:Baltic-German people and Category:Baltic-German culture which are clearly different subcategories. Presumably there is also room for a Category:Baltic-German history. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I generally agree. Zyxrq (talk) 20:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: in general, Baltic Germans (see this article) means "Baltic-German people". Umbrella concept should be something like "Baltic German world" (e.g. Wikidata bundle Wikidata:Q8459480) Estopedist1 (talk) 20:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ethnic categories are normally organized as a topic category on top and a "people" subcategory for biographies. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Estopedist1 @Marcocapelle I think this is kind of on topic but you guys think it would be Appropriate to create a new Template such as, Template:Baltic-Germans similar to Template:Baltic states for organizational purposes? Zyxrq (talk) 01:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Models from London by borough
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Merge/Delete per WP:OCLOCATION Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be a dual merge to both parent categories? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, I was planning to slowly phase out the "People by Royal/London Borough of Foo" categories. Its quite different from the New York City boroughs (not least that there are far more of those) and, as far as I can tell, most of the people categorized by London borough are, more of than not, from there.
- In fact, I was going to suggest a purge of anyone who is not originally from London. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:09, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I wouldn't oppose that, but until there has been a discussion about it it should still be a dual merge. Suppose consensus is against the idea, then borough categories ought to remain properly populated. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, Alright, I will add those targets then. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep categories with 5 or more members, i.e. Camden, Croydon, Hackney, H&F, K&C, TH, Wandsworth & Westminster. Merge the rest as too small to be useful for navigation. I looked at some marginal cases and was not able to populate them further. – Fayenatic London 18:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london, wouldn't you agree that this is WP:OCLOCATION? Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia That guideline permits "diffusing a large category". As for "relevant bearing", IMHO it is relevant that some of these models come from disadvantaged areas of the capital. – Fayenatic London 09:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london, I would disagree - I don't think the category is particularly large in comparison to others to require diffusion - but I won't argue with you on it. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would cheerfully concede to the majority if more editors think they should all be merged. I will place a notice at WT:LONDON. – Fayenatic London 10:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:First women admitted to degrees at Oxford
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. No prejudice against speedy renomination. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 12:21, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: While
notableinteresting, I'd say this is trivial. Perhaps Listify. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Not sure how anything can be admittedly notable and also trivial, but since I agree the topic is undoubtedly notable, it's a reasonable topic for both categories and articles. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Chiswick Chap, I was going for the word "interesting" and have updated my rationale to reflect that. But we don't categorize by degrees. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:54, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, we categorize by occupation, not by admission to education. Besides "first" is quite subjective. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Your reply is very quick, and certainly wrong, which suggests it wasn't considered. "First" can mean "the first group of women admitted to degrees at Oxford", which is objectively definable. And since when was occupation the only possible category? It obviously isn't, there are heaps of other categories, like 1949 births and people from different countries, to name but two. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- If kept, then rename to Category:Women admitted to degrees at Oxford in 1920 to avoid confusion about the word "first". Marcocapelle (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Might the use of the word "first" be clarified if the category were titled "Women first admitted to degrees at Oxford?" The significance of the event is not that these women received degrees in 1920, but that women had been denied degrees prior to that year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Schonblom (talk • contribs) 20:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Eric Schonblom, that's true of every university then, is it not? Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Women were excluded from degrees at Oxford from its founding in 1167 until 1920. That's a bit longer than could be stated for most universities. Am I missing the point? Eric Schonblom (talk) 14:06, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe a bit. But if we were to categorize first women by university where should we draw the line? After 1910? 1900? That would be arbitrary in any case. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Marcocapelle, I've got a draft in the works. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Its also worth noting this is a list of women who were conferred degrees in 1920. They "graduated" a few years earlier, at different times. This is basically a ceremony to award degrees. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Dionysus in mythology to Category:Mythology of Dionysus
- Nominator's rationale: Dionysus is a mythological character and so most of the content related to him is related to mythology, but I can understand the point of diffusing all the miscellaneous articles relating to his mythology. The "X in mythology" category name is better used for depictions of real things and concepts in mythology, such as Category:Animals in mythology. The proposed name is based on Category:Mythology of Heracles. MClay1 (talk) 08:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Bogs, fens and marshes in mythology to Category:Wetlands in folklore
- Nominator's rationale: More encompassing and simpler name. Bogs, fens and marshes are apparently three of the four main types of wetlands, with swamps being the other, and I can't see why that should be excluded. Mythology is a subcategory of folklore. This is currently a small category, but I can see it being expanded, as wetlands are often the subject of folklore. MClay1 (talk) 06:33, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: User:Markx121993 appears to have tried to manually rename the category (that he created three years ago) by creating the new name and then manually moving all the contents. The old category then got nominated for speedy deletion for being empty, which I stopped by turning it into a redirect.

- Propose renaming Category:Participant in the Second Council of Constantinople to Category:Participants in the Second Council of Constantinople
- Propose renaming Category:Participant in the First Council of Nicaea to Category:Participants in the First Council of Nicaea
- Nominator's rationale: I think these should be plural, but I'd like to get someone's opinion who is familiar with these councils Mason (talk) 00:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- support pluralizing - no reason for them to be singular (not a topic i edit around, but a hobby interest of mine). ... sawyer * he/they * talk 00:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

- neutral: I don't know what the thinking is about these cats, so I'm staying neutral and let the community vote on that, but note that I created those cats looking at the cats avalaible for Westerners doing the same job as the page I just created then, which was Kavsokl Batoka at the time, I believe. Here it was probably Coco Channel that was taken as an example by myself. Maybe it's a mistake, but at least it shows that the same type of cats exist for Western figures/countries. AgisdeSparte (talk) 07:11, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- No one doubts that these categories can exist for non western categories. The challenge is that making lots of tiny categories makes it much more difficult to find individuals. Often the solution is to use a larger region for example Category:African people by occupation has numerous examples of this. Mason (talk) 20:56, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Volunteer security group In Nigeria to Category:Law enforcement in Nigeria
- Nominator's rationale: Badly-named (it would need to be pluralized as groups and have the I in "in" lowercased if it's to exist at all) category newly created to hold just one thing. A renamed version would be fine if there were five things to file here, but is not needed for just one, so the base "Law enforcement" category is all that's needed at this time.

- Propose merging Category:Commercial Bank CEOs in Nigeria to Category:Nigerian business executives
- Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization at a bad name that doesn't comply with naming conventions for categories. We don't have any other categories that group banking executives separately from other-type-of-company executives -- i.e. no Category:Bank executives or Category:Banking executives tree exists at all -- but Nigeria doesn't have any special need to categorize banking executives separately from other business executives if no other country has that, and even if there were a valid reason to keep this it would have to be renamed for conformity with proper naming conventions anyway.

- Nominator's rationale: Category for university and college honor societies on a non-defining characteristic. Honor societies are not defined by the colour of the finery that they present to their graduates. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- On first blush I agree with your sentiment @Bearcat, however upon lengthy research, stoles are a central part of the reason people join honor societies, and gold stoles are a common thread and defining feature of many honor societies in particular. This is furthered by the idea of one honor society suing another for using gold stoles. I believe it's a meaningful category for the academic space, and a way students and schools do categorize societies. I would be open renaming as the wiki community sees fit.

- Nominator's rationale: "Sport in X" category for a small town without enough noteworthy sporting events to need one. As always, every town that exists does not automatically get one of these the moment one sporting event with an article has been held there -- and while there is one other thing in the Norwood parent category that could be refiled here, there would need to be at least five sporting events with articles to file in here before a dedicated "Sports in Norwood" category was actually needed, and for just two events we only need the state-level sports category and Norwood's eponymous base category rather than an intersected crosscategory. And even if this were to be kept, it would have to be renamed to Sports, because there's an WP:ENGVAR difference between US and UK English here. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 11:30, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:First Nations to Category:First Nations in Canada
- Nominator's rationale: With the increasing use of "First Nations" as a synonym or replacement for "aboriginal" or "indigenous" in Australia, this category is starting to drift into ambiguous territory, and I've already had to clean it up at least once for the misfiling of several Australia-related topics. So we should probably now rename this to be more Canada-specific, and repurpose the plain "First Nations" as either a container for that and Australian indigenous categories, or a disambiguation category (or just a preemptive categoryredirect to the general Category:Indigenous peoples, since such usage may expand again in the future.) Some other subcategories will likely require renaming as well, but will have to be handled separately because there may be different issues in play (e.g. "First Nations in [Specific Canadian Province or Territory]" won't need renaming; Category:First Nations films will, but "First Nations in Canada films" won't be the correct answer; etc.), and they won't all be consistently one-size-fits-all. Bearcat (talk) 15:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support the addition “in Canada”, exactly because Indigenous peoples of Australia now use the term “First Nations” as well. Yuchitown (talk) 21:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Films directed by Chao Deng to Category:Films directed by Deng Chao
- Nominator's rationale: The main article for this category is Deng Chao, where Deng is the subject's family name. However it is not an eponymous category so not eligible for a speedy rename (correct me if I'm wrong on this point) Vegantics (talk) 14:52, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:British military personnel killed in action in the Nine Years' War to Category:English military personnel killed in action in the Nine Years' War
- Nominator's rationale: The Nine Years' War lasted from September 27, 1688, to September 20, 1697, which was before Great Britain became a nation. Notablly 17th-century English military personnel is a parent Mason (talk) 01:28, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:48, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary separation of a video game franchise and its games. This category previously only contained Joris de Man besides its main subject article, but I removed it because while he is a composer of the Killzone video games, he does not fit in, in some ways because he also composed the Horizon soundtrack. I'm pretty sure that is just an excuse for there to be more than 1 article in this category. After this, rename the subcategory to just simply "Killzone." QuantumFoam66 (talk) 22:50, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, it suffices to interlink Joris de Man and Killzone in the body text of these articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep due to the fact I instead soft-redirected the Killzone games category to Killzone. at this point I can just call for Speedy close. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 00:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Category:Killzone games could probably be merged here instead of deleting it. The split is unnecessary given the lack of anything else in the category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- No the games should stay in the games tree, e.g. in Category:First-person shooters by series. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- To be clear, I'm talking about carrying over all its parent categories, just merging the games category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:51, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Science fiction shooter video games to Category:Science fiction video games
- Nominator's rationale: This category that feels out of place - Not a defining trait for the shooter game genre, especially because science fiction is really just a generic theme for the genre as a whole. Does not even categorize every single video game that is both a science fiction and shooter game. I would have instead split with Sci-fi and Shooter games but that wouldn't work due to multiple subgenres of shooter game, and only a few articles do not have a shooter games category, except for like Halo (franchise) and Gears of War. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ah ok, so the nomination is actually :* Propose merging Category:Science fiction shooter video games to Category:Science fiction video games and manually merging to Category:Shooter games. I do not have an opinion about it, just helping to clarify. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge per nom, not really its own established genre and therefore likely an example of overcategorization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:00, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This category's name used to be "Futuristic shooting games" and for which the rename seems to now give off a different meaning. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: "Ditherpunk" is still a neogolism, with only a few sources supporting this term (including the developer self describing one of the games in this list), we should be categorizing by such terms Masem (t) 21:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. No need for upmerging with Category:Monochrome video games. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 23:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I started the category to distinguish games with a dithering style from other monochromatic graphics. Besides the growing use in sources, there's also a subreddit dedicated to the style.
- However, any other rename for the category could be alright too. --NoonIcarus (talk) 02:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Cinema of West Bengal to Category:Bengali cinema, India
- Nominator's rationale: The category should be changed since the main article's name was changed from Cinema of West Bengal to Bengali cinema, India. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 14:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment, it is not a straightforward case of WP:C2D because nominator moved the article without RM. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- "Bengali cinema in India" would be better, but I suggest reverting the undiscussed page move instead for now, as this is part of Category:Culture of West Bengal, even though "[language] cinema" is the dominant naming format in Category:Indian film industries. @Jayanthkumar123: please see WP:RM#CM for how to start a discussion on a contested page move. – Fayenatic London 12:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose This is one of three strands of [mainstream] Indian cinema whose languages are shared across countries/states, the others being Category:Cinema of Punjab (India/Pakistan), Bengali cinema (India/Bangladesh) and Telugu cinema (Andhra Pradesh/Telangana; Category:Cinema of Andhra Pradesh/Category:Cinema of Telangana). This was an undiscussed by the editor which is now sought to be imposed for the cat (I have undone the unilateral article move). Also state wise categories for Indian state cinema are extant as can be seen at Category:Cinema of India by state or union territory. Gotitbro (talk) 21:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Video game series by narrative genre. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:02, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, this is clearly a subcategory of Category:Video games by narrative genre, why would you suggest an unrelated name? AHI-3000 (talk) 04:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Both current names are not exactly stating what the categories contain. They are about video games by series, not about franchises. It should rather become something like "Video games by (narrative) genre and series". Alternatively, the narrative category may also be upmerged, it does not make too much sense to ghettoize the three genres that are in it. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that the supercategory name should have "series" instead of "franchises" in it to reflect the naming pattern of the subcategories. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, however I do not like these new "video game franchises by narrative genre". They really just feel like overcategorization despite dividing categories in a proper way (and if so, we'll merge it back with Video games by theme). The creator will probably not agree with me, but I hope some others will, and we'll discuss all these categories later. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 17:55, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Video game series by narrative genre, per AHI-3000. I think many of the surrounding categories, such as Category:Video game franchises by genre, should be renamed similarly. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization: This is a category for films directed by someone who has either never had or no longer has a Wikipedia article about them. It has only one entry for a film from 1993 and a search for additional articles that meet the criteria of this category turned up no results. I would not oppose this category being re-created in the future if Gray produces additional films, but at the present moment this is unhelpful for navigating Wikipedia Vegantics (talk) 17:52, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Rename per nom, see Category:Family by person.Marcocapelle (talk) 04:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, for some reason I had in mind to rename to Category:Family of Boris Johnson instead of from. Most siblings use "Family of" so I am not sure why it would be more correct to have family at the end. More explanation is needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:03, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose; most subcats of Category:Family by person follow the existing style. "[Surname] family" and "Family of [full name]" seems to be the general rule. Ham II (talk) 19:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Ham II, @Marcocapelle - it matches categories in Category:Political families of the United Kingdom and Category:Families of prime ministers of the United Kingdom. Not to mention that it is also the format for Category:First families of the United States. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:15, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ultimately I think either way is fine, but apparently we need an option A versus an option B here in order to achieve consistency. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Most of the comparable categories in Category:Political families of the United Kingdom have only surnames; the only ones with individuals' names are this one and Category:Family of Sir Henry Norman, 1st Baronet. There are articles titled Family of David Cameron and Family of Winston Churchill in politics (as well as Family of Joe Biden, Family of Donald Trump and Family of Barack Obama). In Category:First families of the United States, "[Surname] family" isn't used for Category:Family of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Ham II (talk) 06:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)- @Marcocapelle, I would say that the name, for now, should be made consistant with all the other categories and then a later Cfd can be opened with an A and B option for categories like this. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with the principle of discussing the A and B options; would that be an RfC or can CfDs present two possibilities like that? I've found many more categories to add to Category:Families by person (which has been speedily renamed since earlier in this conversation), and the picture now looks very mixed.

- Keep as "Family of Boris Johnson" per above, on grammatical grounds & others. Johnbod (talk) 17:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose – Proposed name sounds awkward and current name is better. It only makes sense to use "X family" if it's just the surname. An ordinary person called John Smith would refer to his family as "the Smith family" and never "the John Smith family". MClay1 (talk) 04:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete , so rename to Category:Works featuring villain protagonists. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This topic is really vague in the extreme, almost anything can be called a "villain" by someone or characterized as being "about" a villain if they feature heavily in the plot. It doesn't make sense as a category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Works with villain protagonists. Looking at one of the articles, I think this is supposed to be about works with a villain as the protagonist, such as Soon I Will Be Invincible. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, Category:Works featuring villain protagonists, like the video game subcategory, Category:Video games featuring villain protagonists. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I do not support renaming, as I think the renamed category suffers from the same problem, as does the existing VG category. I could easily call Nathan Drake a "villain protagonist", after all he does kill hundreds in his archaeology escapades. The "Fictional heroes" and "Fictional villains" categories were made recently, one by a disruptive editor, and are also subjective. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

- Rename to Category:Works featuring villain protagonists. That is a useful categorisation of works. I disagree with the comment that a character being a villain is subjective – the real-world morality of how many people a character kills is irrelevent; the character is defined as a hero or villain within the context of the story or otherwise reliably sourced analysis in the article.

Category:Dobrujan Tatar
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated category. It only has two articles: Dobrujan Tatar and Dobrujan Tatar alphabet. Everything can be included in the parent Category:Crimean Tatar language, as Dobrujan Tatar is a dialect of it (and the page on the dialect already includes this category). Super Ψ Dro 23:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Surely merge, but I am not certain of the Crimean Tatar target. If that is correct, then the article should be revised in order to make it more clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- It might sound confusing due to the geographic names but the Crimean Khanate once extended beyond Crimea and its population was semi-nomadic from what I understand. Dobrujan Tatar is a dialect of the Crimean Tatar language, this has been discussed already at Talk:Dobrujan Tatar. Super Ψ Dro 10:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had not checked ths talk page. From what I understand of the discussion, the merge target should be Category:Kipchak languages. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:03, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, it has been not. We are not linguist at all. I, as a speaker of this language, disagree with it. The situation of this language is not clear!!!! Maybe you hear "it's a dialect" from somewhere and act with own knowledge, this is not a solution. The language is in discussion by SIL, and they noticed that the language is different than Crimean Tatar. The discussions are in progress. Zolgoyo (talk) 13:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Zolgoyo: do you agree with the merge target Category:Kipchak languages instead? Marcocapelle (talk) 15:27, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle I do not understand why it needs to be merged? What's the problem of the category? There are so many categories based on language, variant, dialect etc. And the category is about "Dobrujan Tatar" and not about any other topic, how do you want to compress this category into another category? Zolgoyo (talk) 21:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Zolgoyo: the problem is that the category adds zero value to navigation. The two articles are already directly interlinked. When a reader wants to find more related articles (which is the purpose of categories) the next most related topic is Kipchak languages. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Firstly, how do you know that there won't be more pages on this topic? Secondly, this is not the only category in this situation. Each category proliferates and expands at its own pace. Why we need to close this category by making such an extremist move? Zolgoyo (talk) 13:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:People from the Savoyard state to Category:People from Savoy
- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: not very overlapping, there is quite a difference between the duchy of Savoy in the Holy Roman Empire, the "extended" Savoyard State which largely consisted of current Piedmont in Italy, and two French departments with Savoie in their name, Savoie and Haute Savoie. The category tree is quite messy but this is not the way to solve it. Perhaps a better alternative is to convert Category:People from Savoy to a disambiguation page. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I worry that making People from Savoy a disambiguation page might make it even messier. So would the FOOian century people from Savoy catergies need to be rearranged as well. I'm open to alternative solutions that tidy up this mess. Is Savoyard State really the term we should be using at all? Because it seems not be a nationality from my skimming of the category.Mason (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 14:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category has a lot of overlap with the parent category. I think a better name would be Category:Israeli airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war, which more closely mirrors sibling categories like Category:American airstrikes during the Syrian civil war Mason (talk) 04:10, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Rename per nom or merge to Category:Airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war. Renaming and moving articles from Category:Airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war to here would nearly empty Category:Airstrikes during the Israel–Hamas war so merging is also a good option.

- Nominator's rationale: Not necessary to subcategorize the target category this way. Also contains only 2 articles. Gjs238 (talk) 17:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, the articles are already in Category:Egyptian businesspeople and Category:Syrian businesspeople, which should suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:58, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Isn't there some benefit to categorising by ethnicity and nationality? Anecdotally, every Bedouin I've ever met would say that they're a Bedouin first and their nationality second. – Joe (talk) 06:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- merge I will nominate Category:Arab businesspeople shortly because it conflates ethnicity and nationality, like so many similar categories that have been brought to CfD. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Does it conflate them or just set up a parallel scheme for ethnicity, i.e. Category:Businesspeople by ethnicity? Do you also object to Category:African-American businesspeople and Category:Jewish businesspeople? – Joe (talk) 06:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Jewish businesspeople is a recreation of a previously deleted category, so it is at least controversial. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- But it exists now. And Nyttend recently declined a CSD nom with this enlightening edit summary:
We're no longer in the same situation as before — the recent "keep" for Jews by occupation (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 26) means that there's recent support for categories of this type, and speedy-deleting just this one would be absurd
. I don't have a dog in this fight, but wouldn't it make sense to establish a consensus for or against categories by ethnicity, rather than seeking to delete individual ones here and there? – Joe (talk) 11:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Retain I can list quite a few reasons for this: Bedouins have a distinct cultural, historical, and social identity within the Arab world. Merging their category into a general "Arab businesspeople" category could be seen as diluting the unique aspects of their cultural heritage. A specific category helps represent their unique challenges and contributions which might not be adequately covered. The Bedouin community has a history of nomadic trade and business practices that differ significantly from other Arab groups. A specific category preserves this historical context. Bedouins have distinct social structures and community dynamics that influence their business practices. Specific business strategies, success stories and challenges faced by Bedouin businesspeople can be studied with the help of a dedicated category. For cultural studies research, having a specific category can help in drawing more nuanced conclusions about the Bedouin way of life and their integration into modern economies. Furthermore, Wikipedia claims to be an inclusive platform representing diverse perspectives and communities. This category aligns with the principle of giving minority groups adequate representation. Merging the category marginalizes the Bedouin community within the larger Arab context.--Simxaraba (talk) 08:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- None of this addresses the small size of the category, and this is just WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- What about Bedouins that originate in Palestine but now live in Israel (such as the Negev Bedouin) or Jordan?

- The area was formerly part of Mandatory Palestine but that is completely irrelevant for this category. This is an odd argument too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- The relevance is that it that, because of this history, there are many (i.e. tens of thousands of) people who can be described as "Palestian bedouins" (I've given the example of the Negev bedouin; there are others) but don't reside in the State of Palestine. Your proposal is to erase this cross-border grouping (which is notable enough for a standalone article) and split it neatly into Category:Bedouins in Israel and Category:Bedouins in the State of Palestine, which does not reflect the messier reality. – Joe (talk) 13:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Bedouins in Israel and Category:Bedouins in the State of Palestine are existing categories. They are not the result of my proposal. If you think there is something wrong with them (which I do not think) then you should nominate them for deletion, merger or renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 14:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Brainwashing theory proponents to Category:Mind control theorists
- Nominator's rationale: Whatever the difference is supposed to be between these two categories is beyond me. As far as I can tell, both categories are about people notable for writing works promoting the legitimacy of the sociological concept of brainwashing/mind control (which are more or less the same thing). This just seems like a slightly less neutral version of the other category made by a banned sock. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, the articles are already in Category:Researchers of new religious movements and cults and that is exactly where they belong. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle I disagree with this, because brainwashing is actually a sociological debate, not strictly related to cults, that had quite a lot of scientific input. Like half the people in the mind control category have no relation to NRMs/cults at all. Brainwashing as a concept has been discussed in relation to politics, kidnapping (see Patty Hearst), etc. It is its own thing: while it is often brought up in relation to cults that's not its only relevance. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Possibly, but the articles in the nominated category are about researchers of new religious movements and cults. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:53, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle They're also primarily notable for brainwashing in a NRM context so I think it should be upmerged. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
The articles do not mention that they are a mind control theorist so I think you are applying WP:SYNTH.Marcocapelle (talk) 05:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)- @Marcocapelle Of the 7 people in the to-be-merged category,
- 1) Abgrall is noted as being a brainwashing theorist
- 2) Clark’s article is a stub that doesn’t say much of anything
- 3) Eichel’s article prominently mentions him presenting theories of brainwashing and mindcontrol
- 4) Hassan’s article prominently mentions his theories of mind control
- 5) Lalich’s article discusses her “coercive control” theories (also a synonym for mind control)
- 6) Langone discusses his theories of mind control/coercive control as it relates to cults
- 7) Singer’s article declares her notable primary for advancing theories of brainwashing
- At least 6 out of the 7 with the other being a stub without proper context.
- Mind control and brainwashing are the same thing (and our brainwashing page was at mind control until a few years ago) PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:25, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Video games with expansion packs
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Last year, on May 7, 2023. A similar category "Video games with downloadable content" was deleted, and expansion packs are pretty much the same as downloadable content. In turn, this category is probably non-defining. Expansion packs are as common as DLC, and are essentially the same. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 20:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I'd agree with the nominator - having an expansion pack does not always modify the base game, so it's hard to call it a defining feature. Categories should be defining aspects of the subject, not something tangential. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose because there are several other potentially non defining categories like "Video games with alternate versions" that I would have put under discussion in the same nomination or whatever. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- That is not a reason to oppose.

- Propose merging Category:Kingdom Hearts original characters to Category:Kingdom Hearts characters
- Nominator's rationale: Over 100 characters from various animated Disney movies, were removed from "Kingdom Hearts characters" about 1 or 2 years ago, also that category contains only 1 article. Also, we have to add an explanation to that category after the merge, since then it would only be for original characters. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be a reverse merge, for clarification that it is about original characters only? Marcocapelle (talk) 04:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Reverse merge per Marcocapelle. If the category is intended to exclude non-original characters like the nominator says then keeping "original" in the title would better accomplish that notice of exclusion than any explanation in the category page that editors may not even see. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- Reverse merge Per others, it makes more sense to specify it is only for characters created specifically for the series.

Category:Counts of Geneva
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: delete, the category consists of two very different sets of medieval ruling counts of Geneva, who are already in Category:House of Geneva and for early modern members of the House of Savoy for whom this was merely an empty title. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep I don't believe the above summary to be quite right. Several members of the house of Savoy enjoyed practical control over the county and they are not going to be recorded in 'house of Geneva'. There is also the house of Thoire that controlled the county briefly in the late medieval period who presently lack articles but would be members of the category if they didn't. Moreover even after the city of Geneva slipped from their grasp (they maintained control of other parts of the county such as Annecy) the county remained prominent among their titulary (several of the sons of the dukes of Nemours were called the prince de Genevois until the death of their fathers) and is featured in the leading sentences of many of the articles. sovietblobfish (talk) 08:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I do agree some form of re-allocation needs to happen from Jacques on down. Especially given the county was raised to a duchy by the duke of Savoy in 1564. Perhaps they should be migrated to a category called something like 'Prince de Genevois' or 'Prince of the Genevois'. sovietblobfish (talk) 08:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Of course members of the house of Savoy enjoyed practical control over the county because it was part of the Savoyard state and the rulers of the latter were the ones enjoying practical control. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- At times yes, however the county (-1564 duchy) was under the authority of the cadet branch Savoie-Nemours for the majority of the 16th century and parts of the 17th century, and they were primarily French princes.
- Irrespective of whether they or the dukes of Savoy enjoyed practical control, this surely challenges the notion that it was an 'empty title' and it is therefore meaningful to keep it. sovietblobfish (talk) 12:43, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

- Keep I don't believe the above summary to be quite right. Several members of the house of Savoy enjoyed practical control over the county and they are not going to be recorded in 'house of Geneva'. There is also the house of Thoire that controlled the county briefly in the late medieval period who presently lack articles but would be members of the category if they didn't. Moreover even after the city of Geneva slipped from their grasp (they maintained control of other parts of the county such as Annecy) the county remained prominent among their titulary (several of the sons of the dukes of Nemours were called the prince de Genevois until the death of their fathers) and is featured in the leading sentences of many of the articles. sovietblobfish (talk) 08:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep and let Gonnym work their magic (this is the ping you requested). HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Decades in the Colony of Virginia to Category:Decades in Virginia
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant categoey lay Mason (talk) 03:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- It could be populated and turned into a subcategory of Category:Colony of Virginia. Most of all, parent Category:History of the Colony of Virginia is redundant. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose and add all relevant decade categories (1600s to 1770s). The Colony of Virginia and Virginia are not the same entity and should not be mixed up in the same category just because they have a similar them. The issue is with the year categories that aren't correctly named and thus the template {{YYY0s in one of the Thirteen Colonies}} isn't auto-populating these categories. Gonnym (talk) 15:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Qwerfjkltalk 14:46, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Categories contain two non-notable dissertations that are going to soon be deleted. User who created these has been also indeffed for multiple reasons, including COI and hoax creation. Sgubaldo (talk) 00:03, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete the first two for sure. Categories that are going to be empty and won't be filled again? Get rid of 'em. The third could perhaps include categories that are actually populated, like Category:Works by Charles Darwin, Category:Works by Isaac Newton, etc. The name feels awkward, however. XOR'easter (talk) 00:31, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, the articles are already in Category:Biology papers, that should suffice. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment This is an incomplete nomination. Two of the categories aren't even tagged with a CFD tag and Category:Biological literature by Janet Frost is an empty category. Sgubaldo can you tag all of the categories involved in this nomination? Liz Read! Talk! 22:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz, Category:Biological literature by Janet Frost is empty because the two articles that populated it have now been deleted. Apologies for the incomplete nomination, this was my first time at CfD. I've tagged the other two categories. Sgubaldo (talk) 22:28, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Roman Catholic church buildings in Turkey
[edit]- Propose deleting Category:15th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Turkey (1 P)
- Propose deleting Category:17th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Turkey (3 P)
- Propose deleting Category:Roman Catholic churches in Adana (1 P)
- Propose deleting Category:Roman Catholic churches in Ankara (1 P)
- Propose deleting Category:Roman Catholic churches in İskenderun (1 P)
- Propose merging Category:Roman Catholic churches in Karşıyaka (1 P) to Category:Buildings and structures in İzmir Province
- Propose deleting Category:Roman Catholic churches in Mersin (1 P)
- Nominator's rationale: merge, mostly single-article categories, which is not helpful for navigation. All Roman Catholic churches in Turkey are either from the 19th or 20th century, or in Istanbul or Izmir, or both. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: you say merge, but you only suggested one of the categories be merged. Do you have more merge targets in mind? HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:30, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:6th-century soldiers to Category:Medieval soldiers
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Isolated category that's not helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 05:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge but to Category:6th-century military personnel instead. Making a distinction between having been an officer or a soldier based on this article is speculative (and to me it seems more likely that as a crown prince he will have been an officer rather than a soldier). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete for now. I think there's no need to have a category with a single person in it. If not deleted, I think we should rename it to match the parent Category:People from Austria-Hungary Mason (talk) 23:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:1966 in Mozambique (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1960s in Mozambique, Category:1966 in Africa, and Category:1966 in the Portuguese Empire
- Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination of two categories which were discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 July 13#Years in (Portuguese) Mozambique but were never tagged. I have no opinion on whether this is a good idea or not; pinging @Marcocapelle and Fayenatic london: who participated in that discussion. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 21:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per precedent. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge regardless of the tagging oversight, linking to the previous discussion target than this one. All the empty siblings in Category:Years of the 20th century in Mozambique should be speedily deleted under G6, leaving links to that discussion; they have currently been tagged under C1 by User:Liz. – Fayenatic London 22:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comments: I don't even remember making this category anymore, or even if I was just trying to fill in a red-category. It looks like something I was creating for the administrators to help them sort out some broken road related templates. Perhaps a soft redirect to Category:Jct template errors might suffice in the event of an increase in the number of routeboxes transclusions without route numbers turns up again. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:20, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Not used as Category:Pages using infobox boxer (amateur) with conflicting parameters (lowercase i) is used. Gonnym (talk) 16:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep -- I think Gonnym may be misinterpreting the template code. Because
|template_name=Infobox boxer (amateur)
(capitalized) is passed to {{Infobox person}}, Category:Pages using Infobox boxer (amateur) with conflicting parameters (capitalized) is used and Category:Pages using infobox boxer (amateur) with conflicting parameters (lower case) is unused. I would delete the latter. Alternatively, we could change the template code, but then we'll need to create Category:Pages using infobox boxer (amateur) with unknown parameters. Either choice is fine with me. — hike395 (talk) 05:12, 26 July 2024 (UTC)- Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I don't care which is used, but it was confusing seeing these two with the difference being the I. Gonnym (talk) 07:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge and rename as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: 1) Rename to match categories in Category:Spouses of United States state governors and article too. 2) Merge Category:Second gentlemen of the United States with Category:Second ladies of the United States AFTER it has been renamed. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support merge and rename. Can see no reason to have a separate category for one individual who has done the role. As well as bringing the category in line with those for state governors' spouses, it would also bring it in line with international examples such as Category:Spouses of chancellors of Germany or Category:Spouses of prime ministers of the United Kingdom.

- Merge and rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support merge and rename. Eventually this category might be populated enough to justify two child categories, but not yet. Mason (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support merge and rename as there is only one second gentleman. IT is in line with many state cats that include "first/second ladies and gentlemen". cookie monster 755 17:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Central Greece to Category:Central Greece (region) and Category:Central Greece (geographic region)
- Proposed contents of Category:Central Greece (region) – modern times (after 1987)
- Main article: Central Greece (region)
- Other articles: Template:Central Greece, Decentralized Administration of Thessaly and Central Greece
- Child categories: Category:Buildings and structures in Central Greece, Category:Culture in Central Greece (but re-parent Category:Archaeological discoveries in Central Greece to Category:Central Greece (geographic region)), Category:Geography of Central Greece, Category:Organizations based in Central Greece, Category:People from Central Greece, Category:Sport in Central Greece, Category:Tourist attractions in Central Greece, Category:Transport in Central Greece, Category:Central Greece geography stubs.
- Proposed contents of Category:Central Greece (region) – modern times (after 1987)
- Proposed contents of Category:Central Greece (geographic region) – history (before 1987)
- Main article: Central Greece (geographic region)
- Other articles: Attica, Phocis and Locris Prefecture.
- Child categories: Category:History of Central Greece, Category:Archaeological discoveries in Central Greece.
- Proposed contents of Category:Central Greece (geographic region) – history (before 1987)
- Propose purging Attica (region).
- Nominator's rationale: WP:SHAREDNAME. Central Greece (region) is the modern administrative region (Περιφέρεια perifereia) established in 1987. Central Greece (geographic region) is the historic geographical region (γεωγραφικό διαμέρισμα geografiko diamerisma) abolished in 1987. I have WP:BOLDly renamed Central Greece (an WP:UNSOURCED article) to Central Greece (geographic region), and turned Central Greece into a DP, hoping to clarify the situation. Splitting the category is the next logical step. Child categories can be renamed if so desired per WP:C2C once this split is approved. NLeeuw (talk) 08:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- This sounds like a too complex solution for a not so complex problem. I think we should just remove Attica from Category:History of Central Greece and every of its subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- That is too simplistic a solution for a complex problem. I'll illustrate the problem with maps:
-
Central Greece (region), after 1987
-
Central Greece (geographic region), before 1987
-
Geographic regions of Greece, before 1987
- If we want this category to be only about the modern administrative region (perifereia) of Central Greece, it's not just about removing Attica, it is also removing parts of Western Greece, removing the northeast coast of the Pelopponese (or not?), removing Kythira (or not?), but adding Skyros (or not?), and so on. NLeeuw (talk) 10:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough to remove those too. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I nominated grandchild Category:Battles in Central Greece for renaming to Category:Military history of Central Greece. Under my current splitting proposal, that renaming proposal remains unaffected. But if we want to avoid the Lorraine problem, as in previous "Battles in" discussions, it might have to be renamed to Category:Military history of Central Greece (region) later on. My splitting proposal was designed mostly to solve that potential Lorraine problem ahead of time, but I guess it doesn't really matter, as we can always C2C it later.

- I'm not sure Marcocapelle understood what I was proposing, and why. I was hoping for others to weigh in, but nobody else seems to care. NLeeuw (talk) 19:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Nederlandse Leeuw: the proposal is to create a category for the former definition of Central Greece, next to a category of the current definition of Central Greece. I think that this is just confusing. We do not usually split geography categories by former borders. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Unless the category for the former definition of Central Greece contains purely historical contents, to which the modern definition would not apply. NLeeuw (talk) 03:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- Merge per WP:OCEGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle A five minute Google search can show you that the intersection is notable, defining, and widely written about. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 01:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge as proposed. OCEGRS definitely applies here. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- And the fact that the subject of Jewish slave owners is widely written about is irrelevant? Why doesn't that literature and research make the intersection defining? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 01:42, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep The topic of Jews and slavery is widely written about. A cursory look at the category for Category:Judaism and slavery shows that Wikipedia also has a number of articles on the subject. There are plenty of scholarly mentions on Google Scholar and elsewhere. The historical ignorance of deletion-happy editors on the subject is not a good reason to delete this category. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 01:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- The books confirm that Jews kept slaves just like white people. There is nothing particular Jewish about keeping slaves. A reference to WP:TRIVIALCAT may have been more accurate. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:55, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. American slave owners belonged to a range of religions and so religion was not a defining factor. Within OCEGRS, the same applies to ethnicity. Having said that, some of the other sub-categories at Category:American slave owners are open to question. PearlyGigs (talk) 07:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Jewish businesspeople
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) ToadetteEdit! 16:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: My speedy delete nomination was declined [2] (Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_July_8) because there have been more recent mixed opinions of the intersection of being Jewish and several occupations (e.g., Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_May_14#Category:Jewish_merchants; Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_August_29#Category:Jewish_sportspeople; link:for a search of CFDS with the word Jewish, sorted by most recent);Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_July_12#Category:Jewish_British_slave_owners). I think that this category is problematic under WP:EGRS given that it is primarily based on a stereotype rather than a defining intersection. I recall that several business-related child categories have been deleted over the same concern. (I think that Jewish Bankers is an exception because of the historical context of banking in Europe being a non-Christian occupation because of usury) Mason (talk) 16:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia, do you remember with business occupations were recently deleted? (My brain is telling me that you were in those conversations.)Mason (talk) 16:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison, no I wasn't but I would say this one should be deleted. A lot of Jewish businesspeople, historically speaking, so WP:EGRS applies. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! (Lol, my bad. I should clearly stop listening to my brain 🤣 for advice!) Mason (talk) 19:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, 1 and 2 members respectively. Both were created by an editor who was subsequently blocked for WP:SOCKING. – Fayenatic London 14:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, while WP:SMALLCAT is inactive as a guideline, this size of categories is obviously not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) ToadetteEdit! 16:07, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer. Contains Armenian Apostolic sub-cat, and 1 page Yerits Mankants Monastery which says it was affiliated with Armenian Apostolic Church. Move page into subcat and upmerge. The other parent Category:Oriental Orthodox monasteries by country already holds the subcat via Category:Armenian Apostolic monasteries by country, so a dual merge is not needed. – Fayenatic London 08:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:1874 Colorado elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1874 in Colorado Territory
- Propose redirecting Category:1874 in Colorado (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1874 in Colorado Territory and tagging as {{R from category navigation}}
- Nominator's rationale: If kept, rename to Foo in Colorado Territory because Colorado did not become a state until 1876. However, a single-redirect category is not helpful for navigation. Merge to Category:1874 in Colorado Territory, and redirect Category:1874 in Colorado to Category:1874 in Colorado Territory as a {{R from category navigation}}.

- The result of the discussion was: delete and merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:1812 Missouri elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1812 in Missouri Territory
- Propose merging Category:1814 Missouri elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1814 in Missouri Territory

- Propose merging Category:1819 Missouri elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1819 in Missouri Territory
- Propose deleting Category:1810s in Missouri (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:1810s Missouri elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: If kept, rename all to Foo in Missouri Territory because Missouri was not a state yet. However, a tree entirely composed of single-redirect categories is not helpful for navigation, and should be merged to the respective "[Year] in Missouri Territory" categories. (Category:1814 Missouri elections has two redirects, but the principle stands.) Delete two other categories which will become empty once all of their children categories are merged.

- Propose merging Category:1860 Washington (state) elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1860 in Washington Territory
- Propose merging Category:1870 Washington (state) elections (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1870 in Washington Territory

- Propose deleting Category:1860s in Washington (state) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:1860 in Washington (state) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:1870 in Washington (state) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: First, Washington (state) did not become a state until 1889, so these categories are redundant to the corresponding Washington Territory. However, this entire mini-tree is just to categorize two redirects, so we only need to move them the appropriate "[Year] in Washington Territory" categories and delete the tree.

Category:Parks and lakes in Jakarta
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: split. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose splitting Category:Parks and lakes in Jakarta to Category:Parks in Jakarta and Category:Lakes of Jakarta
- Nominator's rationale: Badly-named category that crosses two different types of things. No other category for either parks or lakes anywhere else in the world merges the two things into one shared category, and there's no reason why Jakarta's parks and lakes would have a uniquely Jakarta-specific need for different handling from everywhere else. In fact, this was originally at just "parks", and then got moved to this divergent name several years ago without any particular explanation given as to why such a thing would have been needed.

- Propose merging Category:1819 in Missouri (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:1819 in Missouri Territory
- Nominator's rationale: Missouri did not exist until 1821; beforehand, it was the Missouri Territory. Merge to reflect this, and keep redirects as

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Princes in the German Empire and purge. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Princes in Germany to Category:Princes in the German Empire
- Nominator's rationale: rename for clarification that it is not about people after World War I, and to align with Category:People from the German Empire. Also check entries manually: if they do not belong here, they are likely to belong in Category:Princes of the Holy Roman Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:01, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support rename. ETA: Also support purge. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, shouldn't there be one for the German Confederation era between the Holy Roman Empire and German Empire? Just a thought. I know there was a brief North German Confederation but that was essentially a brief version of what became the united German Empire. The main big one was between the two empires was the German Confederation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Omnis Scientia: no principalities of the German Confederation disappeared when the German Empire was established so that is redundant. The reverse is more likely: principalities may have existed both in the Holy Roman Empire and in the German Empire. But that is okay, then the principalities just stay in two categories as they already do now. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:32, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: I originally brought this up here and nobody seemed to have any objection to moving forward or any reason why these are still useful, so here we are.
- These categories are redundant to deletion sorting, which provides much more fine-grained sorting and is built in to scripts such as Twinkle. Their utility was clear in the past before deletion sorting became both commonplace and simple to do, but now they are just an unneeded extra step in the process. It is my guess that the only reason they are still in use is that these same tools require it as part of the nomination process. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete There is no archive for closed discussions in these categories. They also overlap in scope, and their format does not support the overlap, unlike delsort. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:46, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment It is my understanding that any given deletion discussion may appear on more than one category page. If this is correct, then the overlap makes topics relevant to one's interest and expertise easier to find. Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Unsure as I actually use both the categories and WP:DELSORT, and they are not fully redundant. E.g. WP:DELSORT/FICT lists 9 entries, while Category:AfD debates (Fiction and the arts) lists 15 entries -- that is a 66% increase.

- Keep/Oppose — I personally find CAT:AFD/G to be very helpful. I check into it frequently and it's my main path to somewhat regular AfD participation.

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Weird and confusing name. Looking at the content of this category, it seems that this is not intended for Dominicans with ancestry in the U.S., as the parent categories would indicate, (for which we have Dominican Republic people of American descent) but in fact Dominicans from the local population of largely colonial European background, which is called the White Dominicans. José Ignacio Paliza is an example of that. Deletion is also an option. Place Clichy (talk) 16:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, these articles belong in normal descent subcategories by nationality, and mostly already are in those. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Thanks for the ping. I have shared my thoughts here but I will repost them here for convenience:
Why should Wikipedia categorize people based on their ancestry? We don't know the ancestry of 99% of BLP subjects. For example, Category:Dominican Republic people of African American descent contains Max Puig who is also in the category Category:Dominican Republic people of Italian descent. But he is also in Dominican Republic people of Catalan descent, Dominican Republic people of Haitian descent, People of Ligurian descent, Dominican Republic people of Dutch descent and Dominican Republic people of Turks and Caicos Islands descent... Who gives a shit? We should remove this information about non-notable people. Do we really want to list everyone's ancestry for thousands of generations until everyone is from Africa? This obsession is unhealthy and insane. We have no reliable sources that give detailed information on the ancestry of anyone alive today, unless perhaps if you are a Habsburger or similar (and even in that case we only know a fragment). It is weird and potentially offensive to label people incorrectly based on flimsy evidence, notoriously unreliable amateur genealogical research and looks. Why do we not require sources for categorization? Just categorize people on their nationality/nationalities if there are reliable sources.

- Nominator's rationale: I couldn't just wait to delete it. I already moved all the subcategories to the other one.

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Diabetes-related deaths. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:05, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Option A: rename Category:Deaths from diabetes to Category:Diabetes-related deaths as deaths are usually not directly caused by diabetes itself but rather by complications related to diabetes.
- Option B: delete Category:Deaths from diabetes as a too indiscriminate characteristic. We do not even have Category:People with diabetes.
- Once there is sufficient initial support for option A or B I will add the subcategories to the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:23, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support A option because the deaths are usually from complications. I Oppose B's reasoning. You can have a cause of death that is defining, even if the category of people with the condition isn't.

- The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:08, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming:
- Category:Fictional characters who use magic to Category:Fictional magicians and sorcerers
- Category:Fictional characters who use magic by franchise to Category:Fictional magicians by franchise
- Category:Buffyverse characters who use magic to Category:Buffyverse magicians
- Category:DC Comics characters who use magic to Category:DC Comics magicians
- Category:Marvel Comics characters who use magic to Category:Marvel Comics magicians
- Category:Oz (franchise) characters who use magic to Category:Oz (franchise) magicians
- Category:Fictional characters who use magic by medium to Category:Fictional magicians by medium
- Category:Fictional characters who use magic by franchise to Category:Fictional magicians by franchise
- Category:Fictional characters who use magic to Category:Fictional magicians and sorcerers
- Nominator's rationale: I think this is long overdue. The reason I'm suggesting this is because of the precedent established by the renaming of multiple other categories about characters with various superpowers, including:
- So you get where I'm going with this right? "Fictional magicians" just sounds better than "Fictional characters who use magic", and for these renamed subcategories the new names will be shorter and more concise. AHI-3000 (talk) 01:17, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Unhelpful. Characters who use magic usually go by a variety of other titles (mage, wizard, warlock) rather than just "magician." QuantumFoam66 (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- And besides, there is no need to shorten English like that, not like you're even doing it correctly. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just a question: how would we distinguish fictional magicians from fictional wizards and witches? According to the main article these are very similar concepts. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:16, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Come to think of it, the lines between terms like mage, magician, sorcerer, warlock, witch, wizard, etc are all rather blurry, many of them are often interchangeable synonyms of each other. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that is my worry too. When would articles be added to Category:Fictional magicians and sorcerers and when would they be added to Category:Fictional wizards? Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Come to think of it, the lines between terms like mage, magician, sorcerer, warlock, witch, wizard, etc are all rather blurry, many of them are often interchangeable synonyms of each other. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The reason they are named like this is because "magician" is disambiguated between Magician (fantasy) and stage magician. It is not obvious that the proposed name indicates the character can use real magic, or just performs parlor tricks. I frankly cannot think of any better alternative than what it's named already, besides perhaps "Fictional magic-users" - so that might be a potential renaming option but in no way an urgent one. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm: I did consider that, which is why I went with "Fictional magicians and sorcerers" instead of just "Category:Fictional magicians" because that was already being used as a disambiguation. I don't think it's that ambiguous, clearly "Ficitonal magicians and sorcerers" already implies that all these characters have genuine magic powers and are not stage magicians. AHI-3000 (talk) 20:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, I think that just means it could include both stage magicians and actual mages as long as they utilize some form of magic. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

AHI-3000 (talk) 20:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per Zxcvbnm. I get what nom is trying to do, but I'm afraid it's not going to be an improvement. Magician is a real-world profession where trickery and deception are used to give the audience the illusion of magic, but the laws of physics aren't actually broken. When we talk about magic in fiction, however, it's almost always breaking the laws of physics, like creating things out of nothing, telekinesis, teleportation, that kind of stuff. Cumbersome as the current catnames might sound, they are accurate and do their "job" well. NLeeuw (talk) 01:32, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm and @Nederlandse Leeuw: We already have Category:Fictional stage magicians to differentiate entertainers from actual magic users in fiction. I added "Fictional magicians and sorcerers" for that reason. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:15, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose The way I see it: "Anyone can use magic, but not everyone is a magician". A magician is a lot more specific and as a result can diminish the amount of characters that would fit into this category. Many characters can use a type of magic, but they are usually classified as something else and not the title of "magician". CaptainGalaxy 12:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus given Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 July 19#Category:Worms (series) was closed as delete. No prejudice against a fresh discussion, but relisting when the facts have changed substantially is pointless because prior comments are entirely irrelevant to the current situation. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 03:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Worms (series) games to Category:Worms (series)
- Nominator's rationale: I previously nominated this category but I removed for some reason, but I'm doing it again, the parent category "Worms (series)" only contains the main subject, and "Worms (series) games" contains 27 articles. So This makes the category 100% useless. We usually only categorize video game franchises like this if there is a significant amount of content related to the franchise, other than individual games.
We also have to move all subcategories in this category to the desired parent category first (I think).

- Nominator's rationale: This category is small, and its parent category contains only 2 subcategories and 4 (3 now i think) articles.

- Propose merging Category:Sultans of Bijapur to Category:Adil Shahi dynasty
- Nominator's rationale: The article of the higher level cat, Adil Shahi dynasty, was moved to Sultanate of Bijapur, of which there is already a higher level cat for, (or will be soon when CFDS renames Category:Bijapur Sultanate to Category:Sultanate of Bijapur) so this category should be merged with Category:Adil Shahi dynasty, as right now the higher up cat serves no purpose if it does not include the members of the dynasty, which are included here. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 17:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, this merge will remove the content from the tree of Category:Sultans and Category:Indian monarchs. If anything, Category:Adil Shahi dynasty should be nominated for upmerge. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle Yes, it would be removed from those trees, but an upmerge of Adil Shahi dynasty would remove that cat from the Category:Muslim dynasties of India tree; I think the dynasty name should definitely be mentioned in whatever cat holds the sultans, rather than just "Sultans of Bijapur"; a cat name for Category:Sultans of Bijapur of "Adil Shahi sultans" would allow it to be in all three cat trees of Category:Sultans, Category:Indian monarchs, and Category:Muslim dynasties of India, as is done with the cats of Category:Bahmani sultans and Category:Ghaznavid sultans, which I feel is best in light of your reasoning. (and thus Category:Adil Shahi dynasty would be merged into Category:People from the Bijapur Sultanate) Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- The name of the dynasty is mentioned in main article List of Sultans of Bijapur which is the main article of this category. I suppose that suffices, especially considering the fact that the dynasty no longer has its own article. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Preliminary discussion on naming consistency for the child categories of Category:Prehistory by country (the current catname Category:Prehistory by country itself has recently been agreed, and does not need to be changed). Do we prefer:
- A: Prehistoric Fooland, or
- B: Prehistory of Fooland?
- Nominator's rationale: Numerically, I do not see a major preference in catnames or main article titles, so a speedy rename per WP:C2C or WP:C2D will probably not apply, and we should have a full discussion. As this is an (indirect) follow-up to our recent CFR on Middle Ages by country (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 June 11#Middle Ages by country), which resulted in a Rename all to Medieval history of Fooland, this precedent would favour option B. But the almost equally high frequency of Prehistoric Fooland including in main article titles should be taken into account. (A case could even be made that a debate should be had on which way WP:TITLECON should lean in the mainspace before we make our decision here, but we didn't do that for Middle Ages by country either). Whichever option we decide, I recommend leaving a redirect for all categories that we decide to rename, just like last time, in order to ease navigation and editing, and prevent duplication. NLeeuw (talk) 09:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Courtesy ping to participants of previous discussion: @Marcocapelle, Smasongarrison, Ham II, Omnis Scientia, and HouseBlaster: for your consideration. Good day. NLeeuw (talk) 09:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- A: Prehistoric Fooland Johnbod (talk) 13:08, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, why is that your preference? NLeeuw (talk) 13:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- The easiest way to have a consistent naming scheme for all periods would be to have Prehistory of / Ancient history of / Medieval history of / Early modern history of / Modern history of / Contemporary history of Fooland, as I've argued previously. We've begun to move in that direction for medieval and early modern history.
As NLeeuw rightly notes, though, we haven't really considered consistency with article titles in mainspace for those moves. If we did have mass RMs for the country articles in each of these categories, we might find it being argued that there should be consistency with the article titles Prehistory, Ancient history, Middle Ages, Early modern period, Modern era (
which currently has an active RM for moving the title to Modern periodedit on 20 July: now closed as no consensus) and Contemporary history. (There are corresponding category names for all of these, with one exception: Category:Modern history.) That could then result in a naming scheme (for article titles at first) of Prehistory of Fooland / Ancient history of Fooland / Fooland in the Middle Ages / Fooland in the early modern period / Fooland in the modern era or Fooland in the modern period or Modern history of Fooland (only the third of these seems very satisfactory to me) / Contemporary history of Fooland.With both those possible naming schemes in mind, I'm leaning towards B: Prehistory of Fooland. But it might be better to test the waters first with a mass RM for all articles following whichever of these two styles we think it would be better to change: Prehistoric [place – not necessarily a country] (examples here) or Prehistory of [place] (examples here). If a preference emerged for Prehistoric Fooland over Prehistory of Fooland it wouldn't be a disaster for the naming schemes I've suggested above, as prehistory could be treated as being outside history, which it is. Ham II (talk) 16:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would lean B because it matches the pattern in the previous Cfd. Both are fine, ultimately, though. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Weak preference for option B, ultimately they are both well acceptable and it only matters that we are consistent. But given the outcome of the previous discussion it makes sense that we continue along the same line. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Option B for consistency with the history categories, which is the only possible way I can think of distinguishing the two options. – Joe (talk) 08:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- As nom, I should add that the rationale for the previous CfR applies even more strongly here: none of these countries existed as such in prehistoric times. Saying "Prehistoric United States" or "Prehistoric Dominican Republic" is nonsensical, as "states" and "republics" didn't exist, let alone those with the names we know them by today. But "Prehistory of United States" works perfectly well, linguistically speaking, because it literally means "the time before the United States existed", although more specifically "the time before written cultures existed on the territory of the current United States". (This was less of a problem in the previous CfR, where we could argue "Medieval France" and "Medieval England" were already a thing, though many other countries not yet, so we still went with Medieval history of Fooland to be on the safe side). This accuracy argument is more important to me than the consistency argument (but not necessarily decisive). NLeeuw (talk) 01:21, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- "Prehistory of the United States", which is already the category name, but otherwise I fully agree. Ham II (talk) 06:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- My first thought was to merge to Category:2023 disestablishments in New Brunswick, and remove them from the "Populated places disestablished" hierarchy. Compare Category:1974 disestablishments in New Brunswick which includes a raft of former electoral districts. However, the similar cases that arose from the 2015 Manitoba municipal amalgamations are directly within Category:Populated places disestablished in 2015, and disincorporated French communes are in the 2016 sibling, etc, so we should either purge all such cases of disincorporation, or keep/rename the category in some way. Would "disincorporated" be more helpful than "disestablished"? Perhaps all of Category:Populated places by year of disestablishment should be split between places that have been destroyed and those that were merely disincorporated. – Fayenatic London 20:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- I concur with your first thought the most. Splitting seems unnecessarily complex. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: The rationale given by Marcocapelle for the previous CFD back in May:
"in" is an odd preproposition in relation to a dynasty, "under" or "during" makes more sense.
This is usually the case, but as regards China X dynasty is the most common and natural form in English for the name of the state itself. Per the standard for analogous categories, e.g. Category:Religion in the Byzantine Empire, I think reassuming the previous pattern would be ideal. Remsense诉 22:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose, Category:Religion in the Byzantine Empire is not an analogous category because Byzantine does not refer to a dynasty. A good analogous example is Category:People under the Almoravid dynasty. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- The state is what is being referred to here, wholly in line with the language used in English-language literature about China. Remsense诉 04:37, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- A dynasty is something else than a state. If anything, the state is China. With the other example, the Almoravid dynasty, there is no commonly used state name at all, and that is also fine. State names may be derived from the dynasty name, e.g. Sassanid Empire and Sassanid dynasty but that is not the case here either. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't mean to be rude, but I feel this is being overly deliberate about universal boundaries between interwoven concepts in a way that, I stress, ignores actual usage. In part, these lexical differences can be ascribed to the distinct paradigms of dynasties in China compared to elsewhere. Byzantium was not really dynastic at its core at all, with the legitimacy of the state always clearly surpassing that of lineages. China was not the opposite per se, it's just that there was a totally different, more consubstantial relationship between the Chinese state and its ruling dynasty.
- Putting an even finer point on the "actual usage" argument: in a fulltext search of my library of China-related books, "under the Han dynasty" appears verbatim at some point in 14 books, while "in the Han dynasty" appears in 91! This ratio is 1:27 for the Shang, 11:21 for the Jin (both represented), 8:67 for the Tang, 6:54 for the Song, 11:42 for the Yuan, 16:52 for the Ming, and 7:51 for the Qing. This must reflect some conventional usage of "dynasty" in the name of a state, right? Remsense诉 05:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, not to hound, but do you have any thoughts about this? To be clear, there's no lexical weirdness about the dataset above: "X dynasty" is being used as the name of the state in all the results I manually checked. Remsense诉 06:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- It doesn't make much sense unless there is a consistent translation issue in these books. I can understand the misunderstanding if Chinese language uses the same word for "dynasty" and "empire" while in English we have two words for it with different meaning. I'm not saying this is the case but it is the only hypothesis I can come up with. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a "translation issue": most are native English books. Like I've said multiple times, it is the way the states are often referred to in English. I haven't been lying or misspeaking when I've repeatedly said that. I really didn't want to say something this blunt, but this is rather obvious and non-controversial to anyone who's read a little in English about Chinese history, or even China in general.

- The proposed versions do not feel right grammatically. What I would expect to read under that sort of construction would be something like, eg., "Religion in Shang dynasty China". CMD (talk) 04:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Do the excerpts directly quoted above make you feel similarly? To address your notion head-on: those would not be the COMMONNAMES for these states. The COMMONNAMES for these states are, instead, Shang dynasty, Zhou dynasty, et al. I cannot make this clear enough. Remsense诉 04:07, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- As an ancillary but hopefully illustrative point: I prefer in to during here because there were often multiple dynastic states at a given time throughout Chinese history, so it would be potentially somewhat ambiguous if one were to speak of matters during the Song and during the Jin in a context where they were both around but did not begin or end around the same time. I have to reiterate, this is pretty much equivalent to one writing in the Byzantine Empire. Remsense诉 04:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- The excerpts above seem to mostly use "in" in a temporal sense, whereas reading the category "in" reads as being used geographically. It is not grammatically equivalent to write about a dynasty as compared to an Empire. CMD (talk) 04:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- The COMMONNAMES for the states are exactly as above: that is why the articles for the states are named as such, after much historical deliberation onsite. However, your nuance is well-taken, but I'm not really sure how to cleanly demonstrate usage that can't be characterized as partially temporal, given that these are states that overlap in geographical area and are (mostly) consecutive temporally. Here's one, though:
- Thomas Mullaney, The Chinese Computer (2024): Chinese telegraphy dates back to 1871, when a newly laid telegraphic cable between Shanghai and Hong Kong linked the Qing dynasty (1644–1911) to a rapidly expanding international network dominated by the British Empire.
- Remsense诉 05:05, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- The common name for the state in all of these cases is "China". Dynasty names are useful tools both as disambiguation and as a simple way to vary the text with a bit of metonymy, but that does not mean the grammar transfers exactly. The example you gave reads fine to me, but it's not the same as what is proposed. Grammar considerations are why I assume all the proposed titles maintain "the", rather than what would be an unusual "Religion in Ming dynasty". Formulations like I noted above or a shorter "Ming China" would keep the same grammar though. CMD (talk) 05:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- It is more common to say that something happened "in the Ming dynasty" or "during the Ming dynasty" than "under the Ming dynasty", because the phrase "Ming dynasty" most often refers to a state and a time period rather than a set of rulers. I realize this usage may be unfamiliar for people who haven't spent much time reading about Chinese history, but it is what's most common in reliable English-language sources about the subject. It's also not true that
The common name for the state in all of these cases is "China"
– for instance, the Jin dynasty (1115–1234) constituted only part of China by any reasonable definition, as it coexisted with the Song dynasty among other states. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)- I want to add that the phrase "(specific religion) during the X dynasty" is also used in articles like Islam during the Song dynasty, Islam during the Ming dynasty, Islam during the Qing dynasty, and Shamanism during the Qing dynasty. On the other hand, the phrase "Religion in the X dynasty" is used in the article Religion in the Song dynasty. --Wengier (talk) 17:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- As that article states, the Jin Dynasty "was an imperial dynasty of China". That "during" is the same as "in" seems more evidence that the usage of "in" in such cases is temporal? If the proposal was Category:Religion during the Ming dynasty this would be a different discussion. CMD (talk) 06:23, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: This is an umbrella category for a whole slew of subcategories, which each have a slew of subcategories. However, each is sparsely populated. This is a logical area for a navigation template, something that there may be a bot already to populate. I am suggesting we discuss this template with a view to incorporating the whole hierarchy of content into a navigation template. If that discussion reaches that conclusion, then processes should be put in hand to populate the template and depopulate the sub and sub-sub categories, which may then be deleted as empty. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

This category system is exactly how this should be handled and how it is handled for other countries - see Category:Television series debuts by country and decade. This is a very strange deletion nomination. Gonnym (talk) 07:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. The question should perhaps be what to do with the sparsely-populated early year subcats of Category:Thai television series debuts by year. A nomination to merge 1965, 1980, 1990, 1991 and 1999 to their decade parents would probably gain support. – Fayenatic London 08:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

- I'm fine with it, but can we leave this as a redirect to resolve the template from breaking? Mason (talk) 00:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose and reverse merge instead. What a mess Category:Years of the 20th century in Portuguese Mozambique is currently – half of the year subcats up to 1975 use "Portuguese" in the name, half don't. I prefer the solution at e.g. Category:20th century in Angola where everything is simply named "in Angola", but all years/decades/centuries up to 1975 are parented by Portuguese Empire. – Fayenatic London 21:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm surprised to see that Marcocapelle removed some content from Category:Portuguese Angola in 2021, e.g. Category:19th century in Angola, on the grounds that "category may also contain indigenous history".[3] IMHO that edit and any like it should be undone. But at least he still left that cat within Category:19th century in the Portuguese Empire. – Fayenatic London 21:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Portuguese Angola and Portuguese Mozambique started off as just some coastal settlements and only late in the 19th century they expanded to what is currently Angola and Mozambique. The most extreme example is Mbunda Kingdom which was conquered by the Portuguese no earlier than 1917. It is comparable to Category:19th century in India which we should not want to be a subcategory of Category:British India. I think India is in principle a good example of how things should be done, except Angola and Mozambique only have a fraction of the number of articles of India. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I think I understand how you distinguish between those parents now. But I am not persuaded by the India hierarchy as a model rather than Angola. India also has sub-hierarchies for French, Dutch and Portuguese India. There is no such ambiguity between colonial powers for Mozambique.
- I saw that you put Category:1924 in Mozambique into Portuguese Mozambique parent categories, and nominated it at Speedy. If these two layers are the way to go then presumably we should do likewise for all the Category:Years of the 20th century in Portuguese Mozambique not currently called "Portuguese". I suggest leaving redirects.
- Ah. I've just found Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_June_5#Category:20th_century_in_Mozambique and 19th century just below it, which ended with consensus NOT to use "Portuguese". In those discussions you didn't !vote but questioned whether the "Portuguese" disambiguator was needed. Why should we go against that previous consensus and use "Portuguese" now? – Fayenatic London 21:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: in my defense, I found the Indian tree only after the above discussion. But more importantly, I have no issue with calling 20th-century categories just "Mozambique" instead of "Portuguese Mozambique" because they geograhically coincide in the 20th century. In addition, I would propose merging all 19th-century (sub)categories and earlier to just Category:History of Portuguese Mozambique, Category:Establishments in Portuguese Mozambique and Category:Disestablishments in Portuguese Mozambique, and to centuries, decades and years in Africa. That is of course, assuming that articles about events in centuries, decades and years refer to Portuguese Mozambique (to be checked). So we would end up with main categories Portuguese Mozambique, 20th century in Mozambique and 21st century in Mozambique (with some overlap between Portuguese and 20th century). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think it would be (barely) justifiable to retain Category:18th century in Mozambique to hold 18th-century Mozambican people (2 P), 18th-century Roman Catholic bishops in Mozambique (1 P) and Old Cathedral of Quelimane. I would likewise keep 19th century in Mozambique.
- But the rest of your proposal sounds right, as the other C16–C19 hierarchy contents are Fort São Miguel de Chicova, Fort São Caetano, Igreja Presbiteriana de Moçambique, Diocese of Lebombo, and redirects Captaincy of Sofala, Captaincy of Mozambique and Sofala, Captaincy-General of Mozambique and Rivers of Sofala, Province of Mozambique. The only other potential contents I found are Portuguese expedition to Sofala (1505), Siege of Mozambique (1607), Siege of Mozambique (1608).
- Please can we start by undoing your recent parameterising of years in Mozambique into "Portuguese"? [4] – Fayenatic London 09:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I see that my request and this whole discussion becomes moot because of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_July_3#16th_to_19th_century_in_(Portuguese)_Mozambique. I suggest that that CFD should be closed before this one. – Fayenatic London 09:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: in my defense, I found the Indian tree only after the above discussion. But more importantly, I have no issue with calling 20th-century categories just "Mozambique" instead of "Portuguese Mozambique" because they geograhically coincide in the 20th century. In addition, I would propose merging all 19th-century (sub)categories and earlier to just Category:History of Portuguese Mozambique, Category:Establishments in Portuguese Mozambique and Category:Disestablishments in Portuguese Mozambique, and to centuries, decades and years in Africa. That is of course, assuming that articles about events in centuries, decades and years refer to Portuguese Mozambique (to be checked). So we would end up with main categories Portuguese Mozambique, 20th century in Mozambique and 21st century in Mozambique (with some overlap between Portuguese and 20th century). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Fayenatic london: Portuguese Angola and Portuguese Mozambique started off as just some coastal settlements and only late in the 19th century they expanded to what is currently Angola and Mozambique. The most extreme example is Mbunda Kingdom which was conquered by the Portuguese no earlier than 1917. It is comparable to Category:19th century in India which we should not want to be a subcategory of Category:British India. I think India is in principle a good example of how things should be done, except Angola and Mozambique only have a fraction of the number of articles of India. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm surprised to see that Marcocapelle removed some content from Category:Portuguese Angola in 2021, e.g. Category:19th century in Angola, on the grounds that "category may also contain indigenous history".[3] IMHO that edit and any like it should be undone. But at least he still left that cat within Category:19th century in the Portuguese Empire. – Fayenatic London 21:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

- Rename all to ?? century in Roman Africa I populated these categories somewhat. However, in Diocletian's administrative reforms (sometime between 284–305 CE), Africa (Roman province) was split into Africa Zeugitana, Africa Byzacena, and Africa Tripolitania. In 314 CE, these provinces were grouped together along with almost all Roman provinces on the African continent in the Diocese of Africa. Thus there essentially was no Roman province named just "Africa" in the 3rd-5th centuries. With my rename proposal, I suggest the new category scope includes all Roman and Byzantine-controlled areas on the African continent. The people categories need to be renamed as well. Daask (talk) 01:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- It is still only 5 unique articles in 3 categories, then we'd better move the articles back and carry on with deletion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:23, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

- Rename per Daask; do not delete: Smallcat is best employed when there is no potential for expansion, but these categories have considerable potential for expansion, though they would be better renamed. While merging them is a possibility, that would risk reducing their utility as navigational aids. This may be an area of study that has been neglected on Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of potential topics under these headings. As far as I know, Roman Africa flourished at least until the time of the Vandal invasion, which would be worthy of multiple topics itself; I believe Belisarius attempted to reclaim Africa from the Vandals, which would seem to merit a topic; and of course it was still inhabited at the time the Muslims swept across it on the way to Spain, and that is a topic or two as well. There may be some articles on Roman governors, petty kings, bishops and religious writers from the region. It makes little sense to delete these categories now only to recreate them under substantially identical names once more articles have been written or added, justifying splitting a bigger category again.

- Weak support, agree with current name being confusing. The proposed target does not exactly describe what the category contains either. What about Category:Military history by country during wars? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Rename because of the confusion, but unsure about the proposed targets. Perhaps Category:Military history by country by war? This would introduce two specific criteria, enabling inclusion of subcategories like Category:Military history of the Soviet Union during World War II, and Category:Military history of Japan during World War II.

- Nominator's rationale: The purpose of this category is unclear. Some categories were added manually, while others are tagged by Template:Category class — based on the template's source code, this happens if and only if the name is incorrect. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:58, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Are you going to tag all 333 categories in Category:WikiProject assessment categories needing attention? Liz Read! Talk! 01:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz: This nomination is only about the parent, not its subcategories. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- The "manually tagged" ones were added because while this has now faded somewhat, last year in particular there was an absolute epidemic of people making hasty, half-baked "standardization" edits to wikiproject templates that had the side-effect of spewing out new redlinked wikiproject class and importance rating categories (sometimes even for wikiprojects that don't even do importance-rating at all) at an absolutely alarming rate — meaning that as a person who works to clean up categorization errors at Special:WantedCategories, for several weeks I was getting slapped in the face with dozens of those at a time on every new generation of that report.
They can't just stay red, which means they have to be either created or removed before the next generation of the report 72 hours later — but removing a template-generated category is impossible without either editing the template in ways that surpass my understanding of template-coding infrastructure, and thus likely breaking stuff, or totally reverting the changes that caused the redlinked category to exist in the first place, and thus being disruptive, so my only option was to create all of those categories myself. But creating a class or importance rating category is a more complex process than creating a mainspace category, especially in the cases where I would have had to create the entire importance-rating infrastructure from scratch (which I don't even know how to do), so it would have taken me weeks to do all the work myself — so especially given the sheer amount of crap I was having to deal with, my only realistic option was "do the absolute bare minimum necessary to make the category blue instead of red, and leave it in a place where the experts in wikiproject-rating categorization can fix it": namely, create a virtually blank category that doesn't contain all of the category-making code that a wikiproject assessment category should really contain, and then leave it in a "wikiproject categories that need to be fixed by people who actually know what they're doing" queue.
There's absolutely nothing on this category that says it's only for naming errors, and there are other kinds of attention that a wikiproject assessment category can need besides naming problems alone — so it makes sense to create the proposed category as a subcategory of this if desired, but it doesn't make sense to move the existing category to this since there can be other legitimate reasons for its use besides naming problems alone.

- The result of the discussion was: manual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:03, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category is terrible, for several reasons:
- Contains a bunch of loosely unrelated content, only defined by "being related to Nintendo", even some that Nintendo, the video game company, was not even in involved in, such as the Burger King one, as well as the other Pokémon ones, especially the ones about the anime.
- The category already overlaps with other Controversies categories.
- We could start a new category to divide the Pokémon controversies, but we cannot, we currently do not have any categories for controversies over a specific media franchise, and in turn never should.
If we delete this category, we will need undo some of Blakegripling_ph's edits for which he changed.
Also, if you insist on retaining this category by making a similar category like "Works taken down by Nintendo", we don't, because information on this topic should better be located in the article "Intellectual property protection by Nintendo". QuantumFoam66 (talk) 00:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Dutch Brussels
- Propose deleting Category:French Brussels
- Propose deleting Category:Habsburg Brussels
- Propose deleting Category:Reginar Brussels
- Propose deleting Category:Spanish Brussels
- Nominator's rationale: delete, this part of the history of Brussels tree overlaps entirely with Category:Centuries in Brussels, furthermore it is highly inaccurate. For example the Dutch period lasted only from 1815 to 1830 but the whole 19th century has been put under it. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per the recent discussion and WP:OCVENUE. User:Namiba 16:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose Removing these Categories will severely overpopulate the populated place pages User:Sam11333 16:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- The only one to which that might apply is the Las Vegas Valley and even that won't be massive.--User:Namiba 16:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there is any doubt on that one!
- I can't see the logic in removing the venue categories, given that WP:OCVENUE states that "categories that indicate how a specific facility is regularly used in a specific and notable way" can be appropriate. I would argue that a boxing match falls under that description. Sam11333 (talk) 17:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Including these arenas in the boxing venues category is fine. But OCVENUE and the recent consensus I've cited is very clear "avoid categorizing events by their hosting locations".--User:Namiba

- Merge, the guideline is clear about this and the category isn't like Category:NBA venues for which is an exception is being made. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:08, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would argue that Boxing matches are inherently more notable as events than sports where the same teams play each other very year. Sam11333 (talk) 10:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- No one is arguing that boxing matches should not have articles.--User:Namiba 12:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose per comments at the previous CfD for two of these categories. The guideline has no rational basis. Venue is a perfectly logical way to diffuse categories of boxing matches by city, just as categories of boxing matches by state and country are diffused into cities. Toohool (talk) 19:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Tagging editors who commented on the previous CfD User:RevelationDirect, User:Rlendog Sam11333 (talk) 08:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment After this nomination closes, it might be worth having a conversation about the 2nd paragraph of the WP:OCVENUE editing guideline. I really see the risk of category clutter coming from something like adding every venue to Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour. (Although the same clutter is happening to that article by listing every country in what was a global event, so there might be some fine tuning needed for WP:OCLOCATION as well.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Practically, these diffuse what would otherwise be unwieldly larger city/metro categories and ease navigation and don't add to the number of categories under an article. From an editing guideline perspective, WP:OCVENUE is discouraging unwieldly large venue categories which is accomplished by breaking these down by individual sport, boxing in this case. With MSG and the Boardwalk Hall in particular, these are known as the pre-eminent boxing venues and the location is clearly defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose per Sam11333 and RevelationDirect. Perhaps some of these venues are not defining for boxing matches, and those can be handled individually based on their own circumstances, but many are. Rlendog (talk) 12:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Constitutionalism to Category:Constitutional law
- Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category. The category creator really needs to slow down with the creation of narrow/non-defining categories. Mason (talk) 23:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Merge or delete per nom. I am not sure of the merge target, hence deletion may be an option too. I added links between the two articles in the "See also" sections. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep. Totally withdrawn by nominator, no opposition. (non-admin closure) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category is redundant, we already have "Video game culture" with already covers the video game subculture, comprising all the fans. This category is actually pointless, so it can merged with that category or just deleted. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Retain. "Fandom" (i.e., what fans band together to do) seems to me as a pretty clear subset of the much broader "culture". The articles in this subcategory would be lost in the larger category whereas they form a distinct group when split out. czar 02:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I did not even figure this through, so let's not delete it. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 18:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- @QuantumFoam66: well please do so next time before you start a discussion. See also WP:BEFORE which is not literally applicable to categories, but the message of it is 'do your homework first'. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Fictional puppets to Category:Fictional dolls and dummies
- Nominator's rationale: Created by a blocked disruptive user. When the category is purged of all irrelevant pages that are not about individual characters or objects, there are not enough articles to support such a specific category. Per WP:OVERLAPCAT it should be merged to the parent. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename and reorganize. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Pet insurance to Category:Pet insurance companies
- Nominator's rationale: Four out of five entries are insurance companies/providers, and the fifth is the main topic. I don't see anything else that would be worth including here, so I figure refiguring the scope of the cat, moving it to Category:Insurance companies, upmerging said main topic to Category:Types of insurance, and including it via {{catmain}} would be sensible.
