• Propose deleting Category:Fantasy by franchise ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This is the same thing with the related sci-fi categories. The only two subcategories of this category do not commemorate to the title of this category; wouldn't it be a category for "Fictional things in fantasy worlds by franchise" rather instead? Anyway I cannot see this category being kept. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 19:16, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. It's kinda redundant when media franchises have a genre, a mangling of Category:Fantasy franchises. Contents are Category:Fictional universe of Harry Potter and Category:Middle-earth objects. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:47, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Science fiction by franchise ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I just removed some pages in this category and at the moment, this category has shrunk drastically, become redundant and conflicts with the similar category of Category:Science fiction franchises. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 19:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Remaining content is Category:Fictional technology by work, which is two levels below Category:Science fiction themes. @QuantumFoam66: Which subcategories did you remove, and why? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category with just one subcategory. No need to merge. Lost in Quebec (talk) 18:26, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Brazilian people of African descent by ethnicity ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary level of intermediate categorization between Category:Brazilian people of African descent and just two subcategories for African ethnic groups. Both of the two subcategories here are already in Category:Brazilian people of Nigerian descent, meaning they're already appropriately subcategorized within that parent and thus need neither this nor upmerging to the parent. (One of the two subcategories, Category:Brazilian people of Igbo descent, also only has one person in it, and thus may not even be warranted at all if it can't be made more populated than it is. However, I'm just raising it for review, rather than nominating it for deletion here and now, as I don't know whether getting more articles into it is actually possible or not — but I will say that the fact that it's linking an Igbo Brazilians article that doesn't even exist at all as its purported "main article" head isn't promising.)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I also found Category:Brazilian people of African-Jewish descent with contains two subcategories, but besides the Igbo one I've CfD'd, 3 is not enough to justify a category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:59, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Social media influencers to Category:Internet celebrities

Nominator's rationale: merge, not a clear distinction between the two categories. This is follow-up on this discussion which is still open. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:31, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @Smasongarrison, Hydrangeans, and The Bushranger: pinging participants to the other discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose merge, and oppose deletion. Thanks for the ping. Note the first sentence in the Influencer article states, An influencer, also referred to as an online influencer and social media influencer, is a term traditionally associated with someone who is considered influential., while the first sentence in the Internet celebrity article states, An internet celebrity, also referred to as an internet personality, is an individual who has acquired or developed their fame and notability on the Internet. The point here is that not all influencers are celebrities, e.g., LinkedIn influencers, etc. That said, if you haven't already, please ping and invite the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Internet culture to be part of the discussion on this topic as they're the gurus... allowing enough time after the holidays for a response. Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not all influencers are celebrities, ok, but what is relevant here is that all notable influencers are celebrities. We are discussing categorization of articles about notable people. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge - while it is true that "not all influencers are celebrities" - or should be, at least - the fact is that even LinkedIn influencers are pretty much celebrities at this point, and in common useage the terms have become synonomous. Language evolves, for better or for worse, and this is a case where it has - and our categorization should evolve along with it. Also I'm amused that Firefox's spellchecker doesn't even recognize "influencer" as a word! - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:04, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose merge (and, in case it is brought up, oppose deletion). As I explained in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_24#Category:American_social_media_influencers, these categories are not indistinguishable. "Influencer" carries a more specific connotation of trendsetting, especially in the realm of purchasing decisions, e.&nbps;g., vloggers plugging their Stanley drinking tumblers, Instagrammers recommending articles of clothing, YouTubers using sponsored props etc. That's not a connotation that readily connotes a documentarian like Kevin Perjurer of Defunctland, or an education podcaster like Michael Sugrue; I don't really see "influencer" as the point of overlap between such folks and Mr. Beast. Retaining Category:Social media influencers therefore remains useful. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 03:56, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose containerizing Category:Deaths from cerebrovascular disease ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: containerize, the articles directly in this category are usually about people who died by stroke, which is a far too common cause of death to categorize by. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:31, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
