The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Retrogaming is "the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and arcade video games in contemporary times". Categorizing games that are played/collected as retrogaming is not a defining characterstic of those games, and is highly WP:OR/WP:POV. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:22, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Actually the definition is not "the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and arcade video games in contemporary times" that is written no where on the page or in the description. It is a category for video games that were produced in ANY YEAR but are no longer produced today, and therefore must be played on their original systems, ie Pong or Asteroids. It is a category I based off Retrogaming. Its not my POV, but fact that the games and platforms have been discontinued. MBlairMartin (talk) 19:36, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Retrogaming is used to describe any video games that are not currently being produced and are played on obsolete or discontinued platforms in modern times". Let's break it down.
  • "Retrogaming is used to describe any video games". Really? Any video game that fits that description?
  • "that are not currently being produced". What does "produced" mean? Like being sold? Or pressed? Or is available at all?
  • "and are played on obsolete or discontinued platforms". The PSP is discontinued. You think we should incorporate its massive library of games?
  • "in modern times" - which means 2016 I guess?
The category lists Q*bert, which saw a rerelease in 2007 on PSN for PlayStation 3. Playing Max Payne 2 on PlayStation 2 is retrogaming too I guess. This is all WP:OR, an arbitary collection of video games. A better category name would be Category: Games that have been played in the past and are still played. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 21:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ive already answered on the WikiProject: Video Game page but, fine, Delete the Category. It is obvious to me that continuing to argue is pointless. MBlairMartin (talk) 21:12, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Our Lady of Mount Carmel. I'll put the articles in Category:Christianity in Campania and Category:Province of Salerno also, as suggested. Good Ol’factory (talk) 06:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. The subject of the category is an iteration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel confined to the town of Pagani, Italy. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 20:56, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete category -- This is essentially about a local church in Pagani, Campania and its festival. I would suggest that the article on the church should appear in Category:Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the article on the festival should be merged to the article on the town. The target appears to be hosting articles sharing a name, which is strictly not allowed, but I assume that they all have some connection with the Carmelite Order, which makes it just about permissible. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:35, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Category:Christianity in Pagani has been upmerged, which could have some impact on this discussion moving forward.
