Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary, per WP:OCEPON – eponymous categories should be avoided, and this only has one subcategory for works by the artist... the only other entry is the article for the band itself. Richard3120 (talk) 18:39, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As I understand it - and I may be wrong - these are essentially the same thing. Rathfelder (talk) 11:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge While there are in practice Sephardic Jews who have no Portuguese descent (especially in France), the latter are almost all Sephardic, and often quite far back, so I think the specific categorization of where Jewish ancestors lived is unneeeded.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fictional Muslims. bibliomaniac15 18:22, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, WP:C2C per parent Category:Muslims. I am taking this to full discussion just in case it might be controversial. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:28, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I randomly did a search in about 20% of the articles in the category and the vast majority did mention the word "Muslim", but some did not. I would also support moving this to Category:Portrayal of Muslims in fiction. That category would only include a character if they were deemed significant to popular media conception of Muslims.VR talk 21:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac15 18:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no need to categorize down to this level of granularity - a listing of fictional cities will be perfectly fine to encompass the articles of this type, including city-states. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:13, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge In real life many cities that were at one point city-states later became part of larger setups, or in the past were and later became city-states, the same things happen in fiction, in some forms of fiction without acknowledging the other set up.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:40, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What I'd like to know is, can anyone explain why Category:Fictional cities is designated as an empty container category to begin with? Does that have anything to do with guideline concerns? I'll be able to form a view once I have the answer. Haleth (talk) 14:11, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Islamic superheroes

The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete, so rename to Category:Muslim superheroes. Note, this follows Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2021_August_19#Category:Fictional_Islamic_people where the parent category was not deleted (despite multiple precedents) but renamed to Category:Fictional Muslims. – Fayenatic London 12:23, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It seems categorizing fictional characters by religion is (sadly) not allowed on en.Wikipedia. ★Trekker (talk) 06:06, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Category:Muslim superheroes per bibliomaniac and Marcocapelle. "Islamic superheroes" imply that the character's MO is to champion a cause that is directly related to their religion or to appeal to adherents of the faith in real life. "Muslim superheroes" make more sense since it is more plausible that the religious identify is given as a facet of their overall characterization, as in the stories of the likes of Kamala Khan and Simon Baz.

Category:Apache Software Foundation members

The result of the discussion was: delete. bibliomaniac15 18:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:COI and WP:NONDEFINING (WP:TRIVIALCAT)
The Apache Software Foundation was founded by software developer Ken Coar and not coincidentally this category was created by User:Coar, the Wikipedia ID of the same Ken Coar. Whatever the COI origins of this category the bigger problem is that it's not defining: the apache.org homepage says there are 820 members and the articles in this category are known for being computer programmers but not for this association, except for Mr. Coar of course. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:22, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, just membership of an organization is hardly ever defining. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Apache is not just a leisure club of rich people (where the idea of NONDEFINING would be a true claim) but a decentralized open source community of developers. The ASF is a meritocracy, implying that membership of the foundation is granted only to volunteers who have actively contributed to Apache projects. I'd suppose most stately honours (orders) that we've categorized have less meritocracy in it than ASF. I really don't see any good reasons at all to dump this category. --Just N.

  • Further comment, people in this category are known as free software programmers or as open source advocates and already in those categories. They are not known for their membership of the Apache Software Foundation, which becomes very obvious when reading through the articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:39, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, Marco, you're doing mostly an excellent job in category discussion but the above interjection is IMHO not helpful. This category is not about their profession as programmers and not about their ethics as open source advocates. It's not even about them as as individuals but about their membership in a meritocracy called ASF. It seems to me you have never been a member of an academy (or am I wrong?) which is an analogue: you're chosen to become a member but unless you're the president or business administrator it doesn't require much of your life time and not much space in your wikipedia article (if existing). It's your logic that is searching in the wrong paths, dear Marcocapelle. This is about society and not about individual activities! An academy wouldn't exist without its members which build its existence as a meritocracy (not economically) and ASF the same. And as surely no one wants to read in WIkipedia who is a Diner's Club member it is absolutely diffferent with meaningful academies and other meritocracies such as ASF. --Just N. (talk) 21:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not agree, this is definitely about individual activities, because categories are assigned to individual biographies. The relevance for society should result and has resulted in a topic article. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:36, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
