- Nominator's rationale: Not defining. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, how is this "non-defining"? You didn't even bother giving a proper argument or reasoning for why you think it is. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:48, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support Per nom. Whether a species is endangered would be defining... for the species. It wouldn't carry over to the character. (Also, it opens a can of worms of conflating fictional species that RESEMBLE real-life endangered species with actually being part of a fictional endangered species). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom Mason (talk) 06:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- At least remove the subcategories. In fiction, pandas and tigers aren't necessarily endangered species. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:45, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I fail to see the encyclopedic value of organizing the numerous characters in fiction as to whether their (often also fictional) species is endangered or not. VegaDark (talk) 20:16, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose No rationale given, other than a subjective opinion. Dimadick (talk) 06:22, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's not a good reason for opposing, especially since several comments expanded upon the issue before you posted. Mason (talk) 01:01, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

- Delete In the case of DC Comics, there are several notable members of the Martian species, such as the Martian Manhunter. They don't share much in common with the Kryptonians, apart from being a humanoid species with superhuman ablities. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete A fair number of these appear to be the last of their species as a backstory. Backstories of characters prior to their appearance in the main story line doesn't usually seem defining. - RevelationDirect (talk) 04:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- How is that necessarily "non-defining"? For example, Superman being one of the last remaining Kryptonians is certainly a very important and noteworthy trait for him. AHI-3000 (talk) 11:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Superman is already in Category:Kryptonians which is in Category:Fictional endangered and extinct species. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Superman being one of the last remaining members of his species is also a defining character trait for him. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:20th century in Ceylon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:20th century in Sri Lanka
- Nominator's rationale: Merge and redirect, deleting parents that will become empty. This hierarchy is WP:SHAREDNAME, a subset of Sri Lanka's history covering British Ceylon 1815–1948 and the independent Dominion of Ceylon 1948–1972. When the categories were created, they were required by the chronology templates, but now those templates will resolve redirects at such category names. – Fayenatic London 10:29, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:40, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Semi-oppose and propose a different fix. This category tree is a complete mess. I'm semi-opposing this proposal because it isn't completely fixing the issue. There are a few distinct entities here. Instead of placing stuff in a "x in Ceylon" and "x in Sri Lanka" categories, they should be in more precise and correct categories. So anything that belongs to British Ceylon or Dominion of Ceylon should be in those categories. Notice that in Category:British Ceylon, there is not even one correct "yyyy in British Ceylon" category. (feel free to fix my indent level). Gonnym (talk) 08:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Gonnym: please explain why you think it would be better to use longer category names. IMHO it would be unnecessarily specific to use "YYYY in British Ceylon" or "YYYY in the Dominion of Ceylon" – those terms are needed on the articles British Ceylon and Dominion of Ceylon to disambiguate those two periods, but I do not see a need for the chronology categories to match the full regime name. The chronology categories capture stuff that happened in one entity, namely the island – in this case matching the territory of a current country – with continuity irrespective of historical regime changes. The only border change was the British subjugation of Kandy, and it would be unnecessarily detailed to reflect that in category names (unlike e.g. Category:Years in British Malaya which had a more complex history). – Fayenatic London 11:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Well it depends on how you view things. I think the category should be YYYY in country and not YYYY in island, as that is basically how we do it for most categories. The only times I've seen where we do it like you proposed is when the places have a similar names and then we oddly think it's ok to do that. I don't. Gonnym (talk) 12:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support per nom. Sri Lanka is the name of the island as well, so this solution works. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support This is more standard to use the current country name overall and prior names for the specific period where readers are more likely to find the articles they're looking for. I take Gonnym's point that this tree needs work beyond this nomination though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus leaning keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:52, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Possibly move to Category:Persecution of Christian converts in Iran. As far as I'm aware, all those who have been persecuted and included in this category are Christian converts from Muslim families. The proposed category change would probably better reflect their situation IMO. GnocchiFan (talk) 12:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose, first of all there is no rationale for deletion, only for renaming. But nowhere else a distinction is being made for converts, there is no Category:Persecution of Christian converts, so I am not convinced we should make that distinction in Iran. Note that potentially the category may also include persecution of members of the Assyrian Church in Iran who weren't converts. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:23, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Apologies if I put this in the wrong place; this was only for renaming instead of deletion. But I take on board what you say about the Assyrian Church in Iran, although as far as I can tell there is nobody in the category from that denomination (unless I have missed something). GnocchiFan (talk) 22:17, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 20:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)- Oppose. There's no need to narrow the scope of the category and per Marco, no one else makes the distinction for the other categories Mason (talk) 03:48, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename all. No prejudice against a future nomination for merging. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Indian diaspora in fiction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Fiction about Indian diaspora
- Propose renaming Category:Human-alien romance in fiction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Fiction about human–alien romance

- Propose renaming Category:Human-werewolf romance in fiction (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Fiction about human–werewolf romance added per this discussion HouseBlastertalk 21:56, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Conversion from X in fiction to Fiction about X, as this must be a defining trait. The Indian diaspora one is a category that needs to be checked that all of the works directly included are actually about Indian diaspora; I recently purged many subcategories that were about works by Indian or Indian-diaspora authors. The subcategories of Category:Paranormal romance are in response to a comment at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_18#X_in_fiction_II, and have additionally been corrected for proper use of the en dash. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:50, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support first one, however I am leaning towards merging the rest into Category:Paranormal romance as they do not have parent articles that merit such specificity. They would likely fall under WP:NARROWCAT. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:01, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Insofar kept, suppport rename. I am neutral about the alt merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: dual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: No need to diffuse by century. There are only 4 in this category, and 33 in the parent category Mason (talk) 15:24, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Meanwhile there are 18, so size isn't really an issue. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- The total size is what I'm discussing, not the number in just the child category. I don't think there's a need to diffuse by century when there are so few in total. Mason (talk) 19:53, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Category:Rebellious princes
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: rename to Category:Rebel princes. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:25, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Rebellious princes to Category:Rebel princes
- Nominator's rationale: I'm not really sure what to do with this category. The category is described as "These princes started a rebellion during the reign of a relative in order to seize the throne for themselves. They should be distinguished from rival princes who waged a war of succession when the ruler had recently died (or was otherwise incapacitated such as being deposed, imprisoned, expelled, fallen seriously ill etc.) and no other ruler had consolidated their reign yet. See also Category:Heirs apparent who never acceded and Category:Usurpers." However this seems hard to define.

Just delete, the article does not belong in the target either. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:11, 22 December 2023 (UTC)- Keep: and populate because there another 158 countries in Category:Philately by country where this sub-category resides and most have several entries. Why throw away just one? ww2censor (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2023 (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: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 02:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose - Philately in British Palestine is a notable topic on its own right with three articles. If anything it is continued via Category:Philately of Israel. Nothing to do with the much later Palestinian Authority or State of Palestine created in 1990s and 2010s accordingly. Category:Philately of Palestine is rather a vague category list, not a category standalone and I'm not sure whether it is useful at all grouping rather unrelated British Palestine and Palestinian Authority. GreyShark (dibra) 05:56, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge, it fits within the context of article Postage stamps and postal history of Palestine. For the target, it would probably helpful to add a "(region)" disambiguator. Is a dual merge needed, e.g. to Category:Economy of Mandatory Palestine? Currently the articles are (within the MP tree) only in Category:Mandatory Palestine-related lists. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:22, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Sportspeople from the Colony of Queensland to Category:19th-century Australian sportspeople and Category:Sportspeople from Queensland and Category:Colony of Queensland people
- Nominator's rationale: Triple merge, non-defining intersection between colony location, occupation, and century. Same logic as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_17#Category:Writers_from_the_Colony_of_Western_Australia Mason (talk) 18:26, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- I am assuming that Category:Sportspeople from Victoria (state) etc. are redundant as a merge target because all articles are already in a subcategory by sport. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:49, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know if that's a safe assumption given that the category create likes to remove people from the modern nation categories. Mason (talk) 17:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

- At least delete Category:People from South Los Angeles, the subcategories of it are already in Category:People from Los Angeles by district or neighborhood. I am not sure if San Fernando Valley belongs to Los Angeles, if these categories aren't kept they should be merged somewhere. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle, as far as I can tell, San Fernando is mostly in LA but parts of it are in other cities - Burbank, Glendale, San Fernando - as well. While the Category:Actors from the San Fernando Valley can be manually merged, Category:People from the San Fernando Valley are likely already in appropriate subcats of the related cities.

- Nominator's rationale: Rename and redirect as anachronistic. The suggested target names follow the article Ottoman Arabia. The current names could all be redirected to aid navigation from C20 categories. – Fayenatic London 15:54, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but should be "Category:19th-century FOO from Ottoman Arabia" Mason (talk) 20:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support in principle, these are anachronistic categories. But I agree with Mason on the usage of "from". Marcocapelle (talk) 20:13, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Two issues with this category: 1°) none of the real or fictional events described as Children's Crusade ever reached Muslim lands, so Christians is self-implied and 2°) the lone article currently in the category, Philip II of France, is only remotely related to such events, which are not mentioned on that article at all.
