Feel free to disagree with me, but I think those two categories should be renamed for grammatical reasons. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 23:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:36, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category with only one page. Most biographies shouldn't have matching categories, unless the person is exceptionally important and there are multiple pages about them and their works. pburka (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Re proposed categories of Murder by year or decade, for merging or deletion, I do not find these categories confusing or difficult to navigate. And the proposed categories for Europe (January 11), Asia (January 12/13), Australia, Canada & New Zealand (January 13) and South America (January 14) should all be considered together. Hugo999 (talk) 22:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/delete per precedent. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 11:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Massacres by year

more nominations
Nominator's rationale: Not useful for navigation. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:26, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. WP:NARROW is about narrow intersections of two topics. I don't see how that happens here -- the single topic is a list of massacres. Is the claim that the time domain is the other axis for intersection? But that's not a separate category. Maybe this nomination needs to be refined. No evidence is offered for the claim that these are not useful for navigation. -- mikeblas (talk) 21:15, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Categories are not lists. And WP:NARROW definitely applies as the intersection between Category:Massacres and Category:Years. Please also see the cross-reference from WP:OCYEAR to WP:NARROW: avoid creating a category tree of individual by year categories with very few members. –Aidan721 (talk) 04:01, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A "list" is an enumerative, countable collection. A category is an enumerable, countable collection. -- mikeblas (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Merging everything to century categories is not useful for navigation. It simply makes the articles harder to locate. Dimadick (talk) 17:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2110s in the arts

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:37, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, isolated decade category and the two subcategories are already directly under Category:2110s too. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:07, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. SMasonGarrison 14:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. It is possible that there used to be others that got deleted, and all the remaining age-based subcategories are in Category:Fictional children. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:45, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Meitei gods

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Same problem as in the CfD for the Meitei goddesses. Here, there are 17 subcategories but only 15 unique articles, 14 of which are directly in the parent. (The exception is Lok Ningthou.) It was noted by Zeynel (talk · contribs) in the previous CfD that many Meitei deities have broad and overlapping domains, so I am listing only the merge back into Category:Meitei gods. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 07:43, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Contents are exactly the same, and they form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary split that creates two category loops. No other mountain range has categories that intersect with political subdivisions, except where it is common to do so like with the Rocky Mountains. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 03:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sadistic horror films

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This does not seem to be a recognized genre and instead depends on editor fiat. From the tagging, it seems to essentially be the same as Category:Slasher films. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No main article about Sadistic horror. Contents are likely already in subcategories of Category:Slasher films. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Practically every version of the slasher film and the splatter film involves sadistic characters. Because the films typically feature serial killers and torturers. Dimadick (talk) 17:55, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Contents are very similar, to the point that they form a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 03:37, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category tree with only two articles –LaundryPizza03 (d) 03:16, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:07, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is surprisingly little content in this category tree, even in the more recent years. All of the CfD's below are for year subcategories of this one dedicated solely to terrorist attacks. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 03:12, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:57, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Collectively contain one article about a multi-year event (the Persian famine of 1917–1919) that is already in most of the relevant parents. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:27, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Animals in religion

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: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Categories are too similar, especially given the actual contents, and this is reflected by the presence of a category loop between the first pair. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both categories seem fine and cover two different things (religion and mythology are not overlapping viewpoints or mutually inclusive), but if they have to be merged by force of numbers please do so in total and change their names to, for example, "Category:Birds in religion and mythology". Randy Kryn (talk) 10:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with Randy Kryn. Best to keep as they are, but, if they must be merged, rename them to "in religion and mythology". Religion and mythology are not the same thing. – Michael Aurel (talk) 14:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep as they are Distinct topics. Dimadick (talk) 18:02, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as they are. My understanding is that mythology is usually a component of religion, along with ritual and views on morality, etc. "Animals in mythology" would refer to figures who appear in a religious tradition's mythological narrative, whereas "animals in religion" would refer to how certain animals are viewed according to that religion's cultural background, ritual application, etc. Invokingvajras (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:52, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Votia redirects to Votians, and their overlap is replected by the presence of a category loop. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 02:00, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
