The result of the discussion was: rename. bibliomaniac15 03:37, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: None of the many subcats have the completely unnecessary "(genre)" disambiguator, and of course the main article is at Latin music. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:53, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films set in Whoville

[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 There's no consensus to delete. Suggestions have been made about the target category but it was not tagged & included in the discussion so would have to be considered separately. Currently it contains many articles so merger is appropriate. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I have concerns that this is likely to be a WP:SMALLCAT and of limited interest under the best of circumstances, but also that it's not exactly a defining category of the films in question. Does it matter per se whether they're set in Whoville or elsewhere? DonIago (talk) 02:04, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Urban animals

[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:Urban wildlife and purge all articles that are not specifically and explicitly about "urban" animals. bibliomaniac15 04:08, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most of the articles currently in this category are species (e.g. Big brown bat, Bombus ruderatus, Elk, Mallard, Vervet monkey, Sika deer) for which being sometimes found in an urban environment is non-defining (e.g. it's not usually mentioned in the lede). It's also rather subjective.  As another editor has pointed out on the talk page - "To include any animal which might ever be found in an urban environment would be to include almost every species on earth, making the category pointless. Any animal can wander into a city.".
There are a few articles that are specifically about urban animals (e.g. Urban coyote and Rats in New York City). Such articles (and subcats) should be moved to Category:Animals and humans (where necessary). DexDor (talk) 12:45, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that rename would alter the meaning significantly (i.e. people would still put species articles in it) and it introduces further ambiguity (e.g. does "wildlife" include plants?). DexDor (talk) 16:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 18:10, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Urban wildlife to match the main article and purge of inappropriate entries. I think a case could be made that some wildlife is notable for its adaptation to and thriving in urban areas (rats, pigeons, cockroaches) but for many of the others the urban scene is just one that is occasionally visited - often as a last resort - but not the mainstay of the species' population (deer, bears, coyotes).

The result of the discussion was: merge. bibliomaniac15 03:47, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one sub-category for this parent. The 10 categories in Category:Tennis players by city or town should also be deleted IMO. User:Namiba 13:08, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Victorian-era ships

[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. bibliomaniac15 03:16, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to CFD May 9. The Submarines category includes American vessels, which should not be categorised as "Victorian"; that term was only kept for UK, Australia & Canada, see the preceding discussion at CFD Feb 28.
Note: Category:19th-century ships already exists, and I have made Category:Victorian-era ships a sub-cat of it. I have not proposed renaming of Category:Victorian-era naval ships to C19 as it is part of Category:Naval ships by period and Category:Victorian-era military equipment.
There may be scope for Category:19th-century merchant ships and Category:19th-century passenger ships to be useful parents of Category:Victorian-era merchant ships and Category:Victorian-era passenger ships – please discuss here.
Likewise, would it be useful to have "19th-century destroyers" etc? – Fayenatic London 09:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure which one is the right target. Only that we need to merge a duplicate category. Please list your preferred target! gidonb (talk) 05:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC) Withdrawn. gidonb (talk) 16:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac15 03:42, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: What is the purpose of separating documentary film and films in the category system? This doesn't seem to be a common thing, nor can I see any logic for this. Those categories should be merged. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:31, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category unintentionally encourages unreferenced birth dates to be added and as it has 137,000 entries its not being seriously addressed. Atlantic306 (talk) 00:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductees

[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: delete. bibliomaniac15 03:19, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Women's Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in 1999 in Knoxville, Tennessee. The award generally wasn't mentioned at all in the articles in this category until, on Friday Feb 14 and Monday Feb 17, when a single purpose IP editor rapidly added the award to all the intros of the articles (see here). Despite that spurt of enthusiasm in Wikipedia, external sources don't seem to view the award as generally defining even when providing lengthy background on, for instance, the 2008 inductees: Suzie McConnell-Serio's official USA Basketball bio mentions it in passing, as does Debbie Ryan's former employer on the official UVA page, and Michele Timms's hometown newspaper didn't even mention it. The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
*RFC There is an open request for comments on proposed changes to WP:OCAWARD. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome here. -RD
Unless we propose to delete all Hall of Fame categories, including Category:Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductees, it is unclear what is non-defining about being inducted into a hall of fame of a sport. This isn't a cultural or regional Hall of Fame. It is a nationally organized and recognized one.--User:Namiba 14:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm gradually proposing to delete most, including a national one for Scotland, below. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:02, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[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: delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 01:06, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Scottish Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2002 and recognizes Scottish athletes for their performance much earlier in their lives. The articles are already well grouped under their respective sports: Tommy Armour under multiple golfing categories, Alister Allan under multiple Olympic cats, Louise Aitken-Walker under multiple auto racing cats, and Phil Macpherson under multiple rugby union cats. In the articles, this award is either mentioned in passing or not at all so it doesn't seem defining. The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:08, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
