Category:Video games based on Rick and Morty

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 (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has only two articles. it is better off to move to these two to the desired categories, similarly to how we merged other categories that also had only two articles such as Category:Video games based on the Fairly OddParents QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. I assume that these two pages are already linked. Mason (talk) 03:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - completely makes sense for two article categories to be merged out. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sunar

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). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category with no content but the eponym. There was one other thing here, but it got draftified for lacking sources, so now the eponym itself is all that's left — and even if the draft got restored to mainspace, this category would still need more than just two things in it to be justifiable anyway. Note, however, that the category has existed since 2011, so I can't tell whether it was always that small or was larger in the past and has been hollowed out by deletions and draftifications and such — but it isn't grandfathered just because of its age, and its oldtimer status just means I can't justify speedying it as a single-entry eponymous category instead of bringing it here for discussion.

Category:1783 in Hong Kong

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/delete. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Anachronistic category. Hong Kong was not its own thing yet in 1783; it was just straight-up part of China at that time, not its own polity, and did not become a separate entity until 1841. So a thing established in 1783 was not established in "Hong Kong", it was established in China -- and no other year prior to 1841 has "YYYY in Hong Kong" categories at all, so this isn't needed just to anachronistically overcategorize one thing. Categories for that era do exist for China, with this specific year being a redlinked outlier rather than an anachronism, so these can reasonably just be moved to "China" rather than being left at "Hong Kong". Bearcat (talk) 16:55, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds alright to me, too - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:41, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Literary critics by ethnicity

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:Literary critics by language. Moving to Category:Literary critics by language as it's a better fit for the pages here. (non-admin closure) Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:33, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have a single category isolated like this. Mason (talk) 01:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:18, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I created the category because I needed a parent category for Category:Aromanian literary critics. Now it is getting nominated for deletion. Sooner or later someone editing in the Kurdish topic area (for example) will also need this category (unless no Kurdish literary critics have ever existed). They'll create the category and again it will have one single member and find itself here. What is the sense of this? Just leave the category and it will enlarge with time. There is no benefit from this. Super Ψ Dro 09:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now there's another category. Super Ψ Dro 09:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't make categories with one page in them. Creating Kurdish literary critics isn't helpful unless you populate it. Mason (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you requesting me that I do not create appropriate categories? There must surely be other Kurdish literary critics, this is an ethnic group of around 40 million people. It is not helpful to expect one user to bother addressing arbitrary nitpicks in obscure technical areas of Wikipedia rather than letting the categories naturally grow. Deleting the categories is helpful to exactly zero readers. Super Ψ Dro 16:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have spent 20 minutes looking through Kurdish writer biographies to find literary critics. The category now has 5 people. There were some other biographies who were described as "critics" which were probably fit for the category but didn't want to risk it because I am not an expert on Kurdish topics. It should have been someone who was, rather than me pushed by an useless nomination, that populated the category.
Regarding Aromanians I am the author of dozens of Aromanian biographies in Wikipedia. I will eventually get my way to other Aromanian literary critics and use the category. I wouldn't have created the category if I didn't know it'd be included into several biographies in the future. The category will exist in some years anyway and deleting it right now is only to fullfill a false sense of order. I ask not to be pushed into rushing new articles just for the sake of this nomination. This is not the purpose of volunteering at Wikipedia. Super Ψ Dro 17:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not suggesting you not make categories that can be populated. I'm asking you to only make categories that you can populate. If you can't take the time to populate a category that you've created when you've created it, that's not fair to other people. Mason (talk) 20:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should be under Category:Literary critics by language if it concerns an ethnolinguistic group this is your own opinion. We have many categories of profession and ethnicity. Language and ethnicity are not the same, the latter categories are necessary for stateless groups. In some of the categories at Category:Literary critics by language, there are people not belonging to the ethnic groups that speak those languages. For example at Category:Literary critics of Arabic there are Luc-Willy Deheuvels and Emilio García Gómez. Super Ψ Dro 16:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:British women by rank

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 Category:Women nobility, Category:British women by rank‎, Category:English women by rank and Category:Italian women nobility‎ to Category:Noblewomen, Category:British noblewomen, Category:English noblewomen, and Category:Italian noblewomen‎ respectively. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename to align with parent Category:Women nobility. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of association football clubs in the Republic of Ireland templates

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 B. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: I came across this because it is a category whose name starts with "List of", as that is generally not an applicable name for categories. Each of the templates here is a list, but we usually describe templates listing things as WP:Navigation templates. However, Category:Wikipedia navigation templates is split at the top level into navigational boxes and sidebar templates. It would be appropriate either to do that split here, or simply to rename the category as Category:Association football clubs in the Republic of Ireland templates. – Fayenatic London 13:26, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Option B I don't think there are enough sidebars to require a split here. But I'm not strongly opposed to it if someone else feels otherwise. Either way, "List of" should be removed. Walsh90210 (talk) 23:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:03, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge Updated: merge all per WP:NARROWCAT ONLY to Category:Dixiecrats. Most of these categories have 1 article each. Only one has more than five. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:15, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Veterans' rights activists

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the recent discussion for Category:American veterans activists, the term veterans activist is broader and clearer than veterans' rights acitivist. Veterans activists encompasses veterans' rights acitivists anyway and also opens the category to people who campaign for funding, healthcare, welfare, etc. not just "rights".

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 August 8#Middle Eastern countries to West Asian countries. West Asia and the Middle East largely overlap, so we do not need both category trees. It is better to keep West Asia because it is consistent with other subcategories in Category:Asian society by region. Purge Egypt if/where needed. Sakakami (talk) 09:59, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: match parent and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. I'd think this should be "the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture" but neither the article or the other cats use "the". Queen of Hearts (talk) 02:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artillery battery fortifications by country

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 (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:PRECISE
There is 1 main article, Artillery battery, that has 2 meanings I created categories for:
All of the nominated subcats are for the latter and, while the proposed name is longer, I think the proposed name would be clearer for reader navigation. (Alternatively, we could just add "Artillery" to the shorter category names per WP:C2D.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
