Category:Conspiracy theories promoted by Elon Musk

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) 01:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic of any of these articles. This category only seems to exist because there is a similar one regarding Donald Trump, who held a much more important position and makes the conspiracy theories in that category a big part of his political appeal. In contrast, this category is effectively just trivia. Note that the articles in this category only mention Musk for a sentence or two, if they even mention him at all.

The result of the discussion was: rename. charlotte 👸♥ 20:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Should be renamed to be a part of Category:Works set in outer space since it mostly consists of works, not articles about planets. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:46, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom, category convention. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: dual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only two actual articles here, should also be dual merged to Category:Marvel Comics locations. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I just removed a redirect to an article that is also in the category, Ego the Living Planet. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:57, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians who like The Amazing Digital Circus and Category:Wikipedians by interest in a web series

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. charlotte 👸♥ 20:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Wikipedians by interest in a television series exists, and I don't see why it would be a bad idea to have a separate category for web series, which may include web series that don't exactly count as TV shows. On the other hand, I don't think I can come up with an argument against the deletion of the TADC category that's better than "Some people might use this userbox one day", so I might be more willing to concede with regards to that one.

These categories were nominated for speedy deletion by Liz a few days ago on the grounds that they're empty. However, if I put both of them up for discussion, then by my understanding, they may no longer be eligible for speedy deletion anymore, though deletion itself remains on the table. This is the first time I've tried to open a category discussion, so I might be going about all of this the wrong way. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 17:32, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Calculations nobody asked for
P.S. I've decided to figure out how many of these categories are there, and I've encountered the following numbers:
  • 21 begin with Wikipedians by interest in
  • 2,194 begin with Wikipedians interested in
  • 376 begin with Wikipedians who like
  • 114 begin with Wikipedians who read
Including Wikipedians by interest itself, that's 2,706 categories in total. As it turns out, when I said it "may take all day" to tag them all, that might've been an understatement. If someone takes a minute to tag each page for deletion, it would take 45 hours to manually tag all but six of them. If this hypothetical user spent no more than 8 hours each day editing Wikipedia, they would have to spend five days doing nothing but tagging these pages, plus 5 hours and 6 minutes on the sixth day before they finally get to rest on the seventh. I'm not saying we shouldn't bother getting any of these categories deleted; the sheer scale of the potential CfD backlog shouldn't necessarily discourage anyone with deletion privileges from helping out anyway. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 15:07, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. Now, as for the Wikipedians by interest in a television series category tree:
If I assume that every "Wikipedians who like" category is within that tree, then there may be up to 389 total categories therein. Manually tagging that many would take that one hypothetical user just six and a half hours to do, so while it may still take all day (depending on how quickly you can do it) a user with enough free time could theoretically pull off such a task there within a single calendar day. On the other hand, if all 2,705 categories were to be tagged or deleted within a 24-hour period, each of all of those categories would have to be tagged or deleted at an average interval of no more than 31.94 seconds. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 16:08, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. charlotte 👸♥ 20:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only contains a couple of actual articles. A bit too small to merit existence, should be multi-merged into "megastructures" and "fictional populated places" if necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:25, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Non-scientific hypothetical planets

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:Pseudoastronomy. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:29, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: So are we saying these planets are fake, or aren't we? If they aren't real, they would be fiction. If they might be real, they should be in the parent category. Either way, the current name is WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and shouldn't remain where it is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The distinction is that a fictional planet is presented in a work of ostensible fiction, and it is accepted by all that it does not really exist. These hypothetical planets are presented as if they are real, and are sometimes accepted by their audience as existing planets, despite the lack of evidence or theoretical justification.

Category:Feminism and transgender

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 and purge. charlotte 👸♥ 20:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current title, comparing a noun to an adjective, reads awkwardly, and "transgender topics" is usually preferred to "transgenderism" as a noun form. During previous discussions on Category talk:Feminism and transgender to move it to Category:Feminist views on transgender topics, this alternative was supported by multiple editors, although a formal move request wasn't opened until now.

The result of the discussion was: dual merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, makes navigation between buildings and structures in Windsor County more difficult. AusLondonder (talk) 14:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. charlotte 👸♥ 20:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only the main article about a small town and a train station, which is already mentioned at the main article. Both are already appropriately categorised. AusLondonder (talk) 13:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. charlotte 👸♥ 20:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category containing only the main article, a road, and a redirect to another road. All those articles are already appropriately categorised. An eponymous category is unnecessary. AusLondonder (talk) 13:45, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. charlotte 👸♥ 20:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is C2D for the most part. Gonnym (talk) 13:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no issue with the renaming if the new name better fits the standard for GLAM staff participation. Do other GLAMs involved in Wiki GLAM projects here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Projects also have staff contributor categories? Einebillion (talk) 21:10, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:List of Clinics in South Africa

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. charlotte 👸♥ 20:29, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I suspect this was intended as an article space list of clinics in South Africa. As a category, it doesn't make sense unless we retitle it Category:Lists of clinics in South Africa (note the plural) but such a category would presumably include no article other than List of hospitals in South Africa (and even that one is questionable as a hospital and a clinic are different things). Pichpich (talk) 01:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PichpichIt was meant as a category since we don't have any categorising clinics in South Africa. Maybe we can rename it to Clinics in South Africa or South African clinics. Bobbyshabangu talk 02:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Then it should be Category:Clinics in South Africa but is there a need for that? Is there really a number of articles about South African clinics? There is Category:Clinics but the national subcategories all have at least three entries. Pichpich (talk) 02:57, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2C; opposed at speedy a reason I didn't really understand. matches sister category Category:Batting (baseball). Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
