Nominator's rationale: This literally has no reason to be a category. The name of it is the same of its only article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.40.119.148 (talk) 22:45, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Thorough discussion; unlikely a WP:RELIST will break the logjam. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:40, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 21:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Re proposed categories of Murder by year or decade, for merging or deletion, I do not find these categories confusing or difficult to navigate. And the proposed categories for Europe (January 11), Asia (January 12/13), Australia, Canada & New Zealand (January 13) and South America (January 14) should all be considered together. Hugo999 (talk) 22:11, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:24, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose What would make navigation difficult and confusing is the several proposals to abolish/merge the categories for murders in the 19th and some 18th century murders by year and decade for Asia, Africa, North America, S`1```outh America and Oceania. so that looking at 18th and 19th century murders by year or decade wou!ld leave the impression that the only continent to have any murders was Europe. All these year and decade categories by continent should be retained! Hugo999 (talk) 10:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is impossible to have such an impression because after the merge all murders in YYYY, across the globe, are still in Category:YYYY murders. The only impression one will get is that we have more articles about 18th/19th century murders in Europe than in other continents, and that is just a fact.

Category:Chicas Almodóvar

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). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:08, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A key issue with this category is that it lies in the liminal ambiguity between WP:NONDEFINING and WP:OCASSOC. The strong association of some actresses with the director cannot be adequately dealt with in the category system insofar the problem with something being "associated" with something else, is that it can be a #SUBJECTIVE and vague determination, and it certainly does not suffice with a WP:TRIVIALCAT condition such as a couple of collaborations. In addition, category name (translated 'Almodóvar Girls') displays a sexist slant. Asqueladd (talk) 20:21, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete As category creator. NONDEFINING can be a concern, though it is 'a thing', insofar that you can google either the Spanish or direct English translations and will get many results at least as far back as 2002 (side note: there is also nothing sexist about the term and feel the nom should remove that aspersion). I lean to delete because I think the topic can/should be better handled in a listicle format, though it may be useful for the category to persist until such is created. Kingsif (talk) 00:06, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:OCASSOC. This can better be dealt with in a list. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Emirati Jews

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 08:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: People who are Emirati (citizens of the United Arab Emirates) can not legally be recognized as Jews, as the law requires all citizens to be Muslim; all the people under this category are not Emiratis, they are Jews of other nationalities simply residing in the country. You can not gain citizenship through living there long enough or being born there (like the US for example). Sources: 1 2 3 4. There is a category called Category:Jews and Judaism in the United Arab Emirates, hence why I am voting to delete this category rather than rename it. jolielover♥talk 17:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 08:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, these are isolated single-article categories, this is not helpful for navigation. We do not even parent year categories before 700 BC and we do not have decade categories before 800 BC. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:10, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Main article for this category is book series, where series of books redirects to. Parent category is Category:Literary series. Child categories include various 'something' series, like Category:Anthology series or Category:Manga series. Seems pretty straightforward.

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 08:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only family category with "military family" at the end. We've been renaming categories of Category:Families by occupation to always put the occupation in parentheses at the end. This seems like it doesn't need to be an exception. Mike Selinker (talk) 05:06, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:13, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per this discussion, which renamed Category:Alvarado wrestling family to Category:Alvarado family (professional wrestling), as well as Category:Gutiérrez family (professional wrestling) and Category:Knight family (professional wrestling). This rename makes it match all other families which require disambiguation by sport and also specifies the type of wrestling. As for Category:Hart wrestling family members, as important as this family is to wrestling, I don't think a separate category is required for its members, as no other wrestling family has such a thing.

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The presence of the category loop and the overlapping contents suggest that the topics are the same. One subcategory in common is Category:Television shows related to the Kardashian–Jenner family. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category loop that contains only the main article Ōtori taisha (Ōtori-zukuri is a redirect); and Nan'yō Shrine, which does not mention either. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:06, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:BLPCRIME, people should be in Category:People convicted of treason if they were convicted. Forms a category loop with Category:Defectors. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category that forms a category loop. The main article is titled American Indian Wars, but the latter matches other subcategories of Category:Wars by peoples involved. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:41, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no main article about the "Circum-Carribean". Is this a duplicate? They do form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:38, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (or maybe merge), it seems to be based on an outdated classification and there is no main article about it. We do have Isthmo-Colombian Area but this excludes the Caribbean. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:07, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Both "Circum-Caribbean tribes" and "Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean" are purely geographic constructs, with no historical or cultural basis. "Circum-Caribbean" may have a slightly broader scope than "Caribbean", but I think I prefer "Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean" over "Circum-Caribbean tribes" as the name for the category. - Donald Albury 13:37, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
