The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Useless category layer. Move Category:Boston Public Library down to Category:Libraries in Boston (the main article is already in that category), and then merge Category:Libraries in Boston up to Category:Libraries in Greater Boston * Pppery * it has begun... 21:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:51, 25 March 2024 (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: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not sure about this category but, regardless, these players play for France. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all these non-mainland former territories/colonies of France now part of France itself? If so, then New Caledonia sportspeople are all of French nationality. In which case, shouldn't Category:New Caledonian sportspeople not be named Category:Sportspeople from New Caledonia or something similar? Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:54, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This name change would apply to all categories in Category:Sportspeople from Overseas France if that were the case. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:56, 28 February 2024 (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: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer. This could technically be populated further by adding Wonderland station, but even after doing so there still really isn't enough content to keep. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bus rapid transit in Massachusetts

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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains Silver Line (MBTA) and Urban Ring Project. Whether the former actually counts as "bus rapid transit" is disputed so it shouldn't be categorized as such in the spirit of WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. That leaves only one entry which isn't enough to warrant a category. Move Urban Ring Project to Category:Proposed bus rapid transit in the United States * Pppery * it has begun... 20:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: I don't necessarily object to deletion, but there needs to be a broader CfD across these state-level categories. Currently, 15 of the 27 state categories have 3 or less items in them, so it wouldn't make sense to delete just this one. Regarding the Silver Line, you are correct that there is dispute whether it meets certain technical criteria of BRT, but it was intended as BRT and always discussed in that context, so it should be categorized as such. It's a very different case than the inherently subjective criteria discussed at SUBJECTIVECAT. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yet that means 23 states don't have a category (soon to be 24 because I am going to speedy merge one as containing only the eponymous article). So it's not like deleting this would break some ironclad convention.
    I think I would see your point about categorizing the silver line if there were enough other things to categorize it with, but there aren't really, so it's a functionally isolated, vague, small category. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. The Urban Ring Project is still kept in Category:MBTA bus so it does not entirely fall off the radar. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, with only three articles we do not need three category layers. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Subnational beauty pageants. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per Commons:Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/01/Category:Local Beauty pageants Estopedist1 (talk) 06:51, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not yet clear what the rationale of the nomination is. Besides, this is largely a container category so if there is objection to categorizing local beauty pageants the subcategories should be nominated too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus with no prejudice against speedy renomination. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging both Category:Heads of government convicted of war crimes and Category:Heads of state convicted of war crimes into Category:Politicians convicted of war crimes
Nominators' rationale: These two subcategories may have a bit too much overlap in scope anyways, especially in some countries where the national leader is technically both the head of government and head of state simultaneously. AHI-3000 (talk) 06:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kara no Kyōkai

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) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:CATNAME: "Names of topic categories should be singular, normally corresponding to the name of a Wikipedia article." Kara no Kyōkai was moved to The Garden of Sinners years ago, so the category should be also moved. Mika1h (talk) 13:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Subcategorising along the four statutorily-defined areas of the country just as some other similar category trees for this country, e.g., roads. 58.177.160.150 (talk) 11:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:21, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Considering that the Winsunited Cup has somehow been merged as part of the FIFA Series, then I would have suggested that this category be renamed as Category:FIFA Series. ManiacOfSport (talk) 10:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 17:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was created with main article as Prajaptis. Category:Prajapatis already exits. Prajapatis are not nature gods per se. Redtigerxyz Talk 04:14, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
