- Propose deleting Category:Prasanna Vithanage ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous parent category when the "works by" subcategory contains all content related to the individual. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Lisa Langseth to Category:Works by Lisa Langseth
- Nominator's rationale: Content fits into the "works by filmmaker" category scheme (along the same lines as Category:Works by Steven Spielberg among others). Current categorization will have to be updated if changed. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Henry Crease ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: I am suggesting deletion of this category per WP:OCEPON. This eponymous category contains only the main article and two image files. If kept, it should be moved to Category:Henry Pering Pellew Crease per C2D. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 03:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Prussian people by war to Category:People from the Kingdom of Prussia by war
- Nominator's rationale: rename to clarify that this is not about the Duchy of Prussia, per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_4#Category:Prussian_people_by_occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per nom (i.e. rename per precedent). HouseBlastertalk 02:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Wiki ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: We already have Category:Online encyclopedias. TarkusABtalk/contrib 21:00, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Besides the category will become empty soon anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:12, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment a wiki is not an online encyclopedia. -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 06:28, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Louisiana Christian Wildcats soccer ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose merging Category:Louisiana Christian Wildcats women's soccer to Category:Louisiana Christian Wildcats and Lady Wildcats
- Propose merging Category:Louisiana Christian Wildcats men's soccer to Category:Louisiana Christian Wildcats and Lady Wildcats
- Nominator's rationale: This tree contains just one redirect. Not necessary. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Just delete, there is only a redirect to the article that is already in the proposed target. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:18, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Category:Cometary object articles
- 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) HouseBlastertalk 02:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Cometary object articles ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: This maintenance category was created by Rfassbind with the intent that the objects would be added via the {{Comets}} navbox. Woodensuperman claims that "it's fairly obvious common sense that populating categories is not the function of a navbox" [1] (although there is no specific claim in WP:TEMPLATECAT). If this is the case and the template isn't used to populate the category, then this category has no reason to exist. C messier (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, the scope overlaps with the entire tree of Category:Comets. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: I think its only reason for existence was to have all articles about cometary objects in one category. C messier (talk) 08:01, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Marcocapelle. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:42, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose deleting Category:Super Mario Wiki ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Repeated recreation of a non-notable topic, as proven from this Google search, this one, and this one (Further evidence of this at the article logs). Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, we really don't need this. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Category:1995–96 in Yugoslav basketball
- 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. Two-digit years are permissible for consecutive years (see MOS:DATERANGE) and widely used in the parent hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 13:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:1995–96 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:1995–96 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:1996–97 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:1996–97 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:1997–98 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:1997–98 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:1998–99 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:1998–99 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:1999–2000 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:1999–2000 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:2000–01 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:2000–01 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Propose renaming Category:2002–03 in Yugoslav basketball to Category:2002–03 in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia basketball
- Nominator's rationale: So Category:Seasons in Yugoslav basketball currently covers two separate countries and ignores the breakup of Yugoslavia, which is just weird. The main article space about the same topic do not do so, all the basketball articles about the post-'91 events clearly describe what happened instead.
- This change would be analogous to the changes we made in year and football categories. It would also allow for categorizing 1992-2002 together with the 2003-2006 period of Serbia and Montenegro, because those are a coherent topic throughout this time period (1992-2006). Joy (talk) 15:48, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support in principle, but the years should be fully spelled out. Category:1995–1996 etc Mason (talk) 04:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison no prejudice against that, but the parent categories like Category:1998–99 in European basketball by country seem mostly the same, so that matter should probably be handled for the entire group of them so we don't make them oddly inconsistent. --Joy (talk) 08:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Category:Bridges and flyovers in Dhaka
- 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:Bridges in Dhaka. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Bridges and flyovers in Dhaka to Category:Bridges in Dhaka
- Nominator's rationale: Although several of the entries in this category are indeed flyovers, it's worth noting a couple of things. First, flyover is a disambiguation page, with the main topic shown listing a flyover as "a high-level road bridge" (the actual article is at overpass) - so all flyovers would count as bridges anyway. Second, every other bridge-by-city category is at Category:Bridges in Foo, as are all bridge-by-country categories (including this one's parent, Category:Bridges in Bangladesh). There's no apparent reason for this one to be any different. Grutness...wha? 12:21, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:Fictional shield fighters ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Recreated by blocked, disruptive user. Previous deletion discussion result was delete. Things haven't changed, most of these characters are not defined by fighting with a shield. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:41, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Mason (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose - there are definitely characters who are defined by fighting with a shield, namely Captain America, Steven Universe (character), and Naofumi Iwatani. It definitely has enough entries that are WP:DEFINING to not be considered too small. (Oinkers42) (talk) 01:34, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Oinkers42's argument. Dimadick (talk) 18:51, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Oinkers42. there are definitely at least five characters in here who fit, though perhaps a purge of those who use both a shield and sword would make sense since the sword would be the primary weapon there. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 13:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

LGBT by gender and sexual orientation
- 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 and reparent as per 96z's suggestion. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:23, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:LGBT men by sexual orientation and moving Category:Gay men directly under Category:LGBT people by sexual orientation
- Propose deleting Category:LGBT women by sexual orientation and moving Category:Lesbians directly under Category:LGBT people by sexual orientation
- Propose deleting Category:Non-binary people by sexual orientation
- Nominator's rationale: delete and re-parent, apart from gay men and lesbians it is a trivial intersection. The proposal will result in gay men and lesbians directly under Category:LGBT people by sexual orientation as can be expected. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete and re-parent per nom. A welcome simplification. Place Clichy (talk) 03:37, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, but also merge Category:LGBT men by sexual orientation with Category:LGBT men; Category:LGBT women by sexual orientation with Category:LGBT women; and Category:Non-binary people by sexual orientation with Category:People with non-binary gender identities. And tag them grouping each other properly. 96z (talk) 20:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

People of Visigothic descent
- 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: Option A (delete 'em all). (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Option A
- Propose deleting Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Propose deleting Category:9th-century Visigothic people
- Propose deleting Category:10th-century Visigothic people
- Propose deleting Category:11th-century Visigothic people
- Propose deleting Category:12th-century Visigothic people
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, hardly any of the articles mentions Visigothic descent. For background: the Visigothic Kingdom ended in 711 and by then the Visigoths were largely assimilated in the original "Romans" of Spain and southern France. Some noble families were still known to be Visigothic and it is their (claimed) descendants who are in these categories.
- Option B
- Propose merging Category:People of Visigothic descent to Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Propose merging Category:9th-century Visigothic people to Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Propose merging Category:10th-century Visigothic people to Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Propose merging Category:11th-century Visigothic people to Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Propose merging Category:12th-century Visigothic people to Category:People of Visigothic descent
- Nominator's rationale: if not deleted, then merge to the parent category, we normally do not diffuse descent categories by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Option A. Per WP:COP-HERITAGE, descent is not notable beyond grandchildren. Place Clichy (talk) 03:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support either. Lean Option B because people might still be described/defined as Visigothic, even if technically they aren't. Mason (talk) 04:53, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- They might, but they aren't. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Suicides in Edinburgh to Category:Suicides in Scotland
- Propose merging Category:Suicides by firearm in Edinburgh to Category:Suicides by firearm in Scotland
- Nominator's rationale: trivial cat. death by city isn't notable Mason (talk) 04:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. The point of the tree is to categorize by cause of death, not by place. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:43, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: There is a category called Category:Death by city. Edinburgh is also one of the 32 council areas of Scotland (2nd most populated council area). Sahaib (talk) 07:53, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- There may be a Death by city category, which is about the broader construct of death-related things, but the categories are about "deaths" Mason (talk) 00:39, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
