Category:Fictional werewolf hunters[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: merge to Category:Fictional monster hunters. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:15, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one person in this category solely hunts werewolves, suffice it to say it's so tiny as to be an unnecessary WP:NARROWCAT. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose AHI-3000 (talk) 22:24, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. There's no reason to distinguish by type of monster hunted given the size of the category. If the population grows, then it can be recreated. Mason (talk) 22:56, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. This only has one category in it, which is unhelpful for navigation Mason (talk) 19:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Giovanni 0331:. I'm going to close this nomination, now that you've made two other categories. However, please populate them so that they have more than a handful of people in them.Mason (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: merge to Category:1901 college football season. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:14, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one page in this category. Let'srun (talk) 00:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is an accepted consensus that all years with a bowl game should have an individual category for the bowl games. I do not understand why this year should be the only exception out of 100+. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The NCAA wasn't established until 1906 so the name itself is anachronistic and needs to be changed.--User:Namiba 17:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I like that idea. Rename Category:College football bowls prior to 1939 and merge the others into it.--User:Namiba 15:51, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Though, what's special about 1939? Why is that the best cutoff? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a fair question. Perhaps we would better off by decade? Category:College football bowls in the 1910s and so on?--User:Namiba 18:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All vital articles should be assessed so it is useful to have Category:Unassessed vital articles to track these. However it is unnecessary and excessive to divide them into levels and topics. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge for now, having only 2 articles in the category is not helpful for navigation. No objection to recreate the category when more articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:38, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: Disperse between Category:Fictional characters with disabilities and Category:Fictional characters by physical feature. It's difficult to find any consensus in this fragmented discussion, but this (expressed as "merge") seems to have the most support and there is clearly a consensus the current situation is unideal. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge this category. There isn't a need to divide disabilities by physical and mental. Mason (talk) 16:39, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Fictional characters with physical disorders instead, to provide a clear and distinct counterpart to Category:Fictional characters with mental disorders. AHI-3000 (talk) 08:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:54, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant layer with one sub-category. –Aidan721 (talk) 16:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is a whole tree under Category:School buildings that would need to be addressed. Buildings are different than institutions.--User:Namiba 23:45, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - So the nominator oringally empties the category, tries to speedy delete it, then now wants to merge it after creating the "University and college buildings in Oregon" category? Which that would be a subcategory of this category. And as the university one demonstrates, not all buildings should be in schools, otherwise the uni/college building category the nominator just created would also be redundant. Aboutmovies (talk) 01:26, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Universities and colleges are not schools. They are both educational institutions and would both belong in the educational buildings category. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Universities and colleges are not schools. Spent three years in law school ... they told me it was a school! Should I sue them for fraud? Cbl62 (talk) 21:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Per nom. In practice these are the same things since university buildings are not under schools. (I share Cbl62's confusion as to what that is the case but that broader discussion is for another time.) The NRHP listings generally focus on the building architecture rather than the education that went on there. - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Vegetation of Australia[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. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:05, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. If kept it needs to be renamed to make it clearer that these are distinct. The category page includes the following description. "This category is for vegetation communities and types that occur in Australia, such as mallee and mulga. For individual plant taxa, see Category:Flora of Australia" Mason (talk) 15:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep The wording of the nomination itself is a give away by the way it has been created - however, in one point they are separate and not overlapping. There are distinct purposes for the separation. JarrahTree 02:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Flora typically means the plants themselves and should consist of taxon names (& common names for plant taxa). Vegetation typically refers to types of vegetation and as can be seen from the category include mallee lands, vegetation communities and so on which are Australian. The distinction should be kept, even though not all contributors understand it. MargaretRDonald (talk) 05:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn. Closing discussion in order to instead propose merge to Category:Malacologists along with other related single-page categories. (non-admin closure) Monster Iestyn (talk) 01:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "malacologists" should not start with a capital letter in this category name. Monster Iestyn (talk) 03:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy rename per C2A. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:04, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands only existed within one century. Merge/delete per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 15#Category:Establishments in Gran Colombia by century.

Nominator's rationale: rename per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_1#People_by_populated_place_in_the_United_States: 1) using denonym per WP:C2C; 2) using "populated place" instead of "city or town" per recent discussions; 3) having the splitter at the end of the category name, per convention.

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:50, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:
Such division by country of origin is of no practical use, and it only creates difficulties with categorisation, which will never be correct in this environment.
Firstly, most of the genres are duplicated in two categories, because many genres have both US and UK country of origin in their infoboxes at the same time. The practical sense of this division is lost in 60% of cases for rock categories, and in some cases for hip-hop. I personally don't see any practical convenience in constantly switching between these two categories in an attempt to figure out which genres are truly exclusively British.
Secondly, genres often have roots in other countries besides the US and UK, but there are no categories for this and will not be, but they will be placed in these two categories rather than in the general category (e.g. Reggae rock). And it's unclear whether or not such genres should be placed in those categories and such situations.
Thirdly, in a situation when there are major genres with their own sub-genres and globalisation is a thing, such a hierarchy cannot be correctly arranged by country of origin. You put a major genre in one category, and it has its own nested categories for subgenres that were created all over the world. For example, Category:Heavy metal genres is now located only in "American rock music genres" and "British rock music genres", while it has a huge number of sub-genres created in individual European countries. And it turns out that the categorisation tells you that Celtic metal is an American and British genre.
So I suggest remove the categories and move their content to Category:Hip hop genres and Category:Rock music genres respectively. Solidest (talk) 07:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. For American hip hop I created Category:American hip hop scenes a few years ago, which is both much more specific and would avoid all the problems described above. Solidest (talk) 08:29, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:16th-century Franco-Flemish composers. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 21:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the Franco-Flemish School flourished from about 1430 to 1620 so very little in the 17th century, and all articles of this category belong in the 16th century too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: merge to Category:Death in Italy. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. It's unhelpful for navigation to have two cities tucked away from the parent category. If kept, it should be renamed to "by location" or "by city" Mason (talk) 05:54, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
