- Propose renaming Category:Jewish-American slave owners to Category:Jewish American slave owners
- Nominator's rationale: Removing the hyphen to match the title with other categories in Category:American Jews by occupation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 22:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per C2C. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:56, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per nom, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

- 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:People educated at LVS Ascot. bibliomaniac15 01:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination on behalf of User:Uhooep for a category that was listed at CfD but not properly tagged. Their rationale was as follows:
HouseBlastertalk 19:49, 26 November 2023 (UTC)LVS Ascot is the current name of the school which was formerly known as formerly known as Licensed Victuallers' School. I erroneously thought that doing a manual transfer across followed by a redirect would be ok - apologies.
- Speedy Rename Per WP:C2D, consistency with main article's name. While LVS Ascot did not have a formal WP:RM, the official web site makes clear that's the current branding. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be Alumni of LVS Ascot? Mason (talk) 04:25, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Smasongarrison: That seems cleaner to me too but based on the parent category, Category:People educated by school in Berkshire, this is the current format. Totally open to a later nomination changing that though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good approach. I'm not opposed to the rename as written. Mason (talk) 00:47, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Category:Journalists killed while covering the 2023 Israel–Hamas war
- 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:People killed in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. bibliomaniac15 01:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: All 4 Israeli journalists killed were not reporting while this happened, and similarly with Palestinian journalists it is not known in each circumstance whether they were covering the war or not. My proposed renaming is neutral and keeps with spirit of this category ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:55, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment For transparency I created the category. The "while covering the *conflict name*" was used for consistency in the parent category Category:Journalists killed while covering military conflicts. If we're renaming, it may be worth doing the other categories as well. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 16:47, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlastertalk 19:40, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fiction about virginity. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 01:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Works about virginity to Category:Fiction about virginity
- Nominator's rationale: Category:Sexuality in fiction will be renamed per precedent; this category contains only works of fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename per actual content. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fiction about communication. bibliomaniac15 01:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Communications in fiction to Category:Fiction about technology
- Nominator's rationale: Merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT as largely an unnecessary distinction. These are works of fiction about tech and its effects. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- Prefer rename to Category:Fiction about communication, with merging to Category:Fiction about technology as a second choice. Communication is a viable topic on its own, and "fiction about" is the preferable form. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- rename per Marcocapelle Mason (talk) 01:34, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Fiction about telecommunications, which is more specific to the actual content. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlastertalk 19:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)- @Zxcvbnm, Marcocapelle, and Smasongarrison: do you have thoughts on the alternative rename? HouseBlastertalk 23:17, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- I'm fine with either rename. I have a mild intangible preference for communication over telecommunication. Mason (talk) 00:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I prefer "communication" too, because subCategory:Fiction about social media would not fit too well in telecommunications. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:49, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fiction about adultery. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 01:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT with 2 articles; otherwise would need to be renamed to Category:Comics about adultery for definingness, as is happening for the parent through WP:CFDS. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Support Overly narrow, not many entries, too soon to create. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:04, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge.

- Upmerge to all the parent categories, Libyan monarchy, Arab queens Category:Libyan women,Category:African queens Mason (talk) 15:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per Mason, but not to Category:Libyan women because the article is already in Category:21st-century Libyan women, and to Category:Libyan royalty rather than Category:Libyan monarchy. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Queens (title). No prejudice against speedy renomination for a potential split. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 01:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Queens to Category:Queens (title)
- Nominator's rationale: The category is filled with subcategories of other titles. This move makes sense. It will also help avoid confusion with Queens or Queen and Category:Queens, New York -- Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:38, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment, ideally the whole category tree should be split between Queen regnant and Queen consort, just like in article space, but that is going to be a massive amount of work. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:51, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- The categories exist but are subcategories of this one (Category:Queens consort and Category:Queens regnant). This is basically a container category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:58, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- I mean it a bit more elaborate: with splitting all subcategories too and ultimately convert Category:Queens to a dab page. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- I think that would be better, to be honest. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:16, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

- Rename for Now I like the proposed title better to help distinguish from Category:Queens, New York, a distinction we've discussed before. I would favor an eventual split though. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
