Category:Fictional alchemists

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_10#Category:Fictional_witches_and_wizards.

Just because someone using magic used some material components, editors label them "alchemists". This is WP:OR.

To quote: Alchemy in art and entertainment: "In twentieth and twenty-first century examples, alchemists are generally presented in a more romantic or mystic light, and often little distinction is made between alchemy, magic, and witchcraft. Alchemy has become a common theme in fantasy fiction."

And many of the characters already are in other subcats of the target (WP:OVERLAPCAT). - jc37 20:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sports venues in Egypt by populated place

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT User:Namiba 19:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional summoners

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_10#Category:Fictional_witches_and_wizards. - jc37 19:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hemiprocnidae

Nominator's rationale: Hemiprocnidae is a monogeneric family. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:41, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albums arranged by Spencer Dryden

Nominator's rationale: It's usually jazz or orchestral albums that are heavily reliant on arrangements, and the one article in this category only mentions Dryden as responsible for horn arrangements in the credits section. It seems that that wouldn't be any more defining to the album than Dryden being the drummer on the album. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Palaeospheniscinae

Nominator's rationale: Palaeospheniscinae is a monogeneric subfamily. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:48, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tolkien book characters

Per other cats in Category:Characters in fantasy novel series of the 20th century and Category:Characters in British novels of the 20th century, etc.

And to match Category:The Lord of the Rings characters.

This could probably have been a speedy rename, but I thought I'd add them here, in case there were any concerns. - jc37 17:49, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Willy Wonka

Nominator's rationale: Seemingly a case of WP:OVERLAPCAT. (Oinkers42) (talk) 17:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Charmed (TV series) witches

Per WP:OVERLAPCAT - Most of the category members are already members of the parent. - jc37 17:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional magic characters in comics

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_10#Category:Fictional_witches_and_wizards. And as per Magician (fantasy), these terms are used disparately and subjectively by authors - in some cases the only similarity between the characters is the name.

Many of the first 2 categories' entries are merely female characters who use magic, that editors then decide to categorise as "witches". Similar thing with the wizard cats and male magic-users. It's WP:OR.

And it's also WP:OVERLAPCAT, as many are also in the targets. - jc37 17:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Michael Stipe

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON, this can be handled by the "Works by" tree as only one other article to consider. --woodensuperman 15:08, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Peter Buck

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON, this can be handled by the "Works by" tree as only one other article to consider. --woodensuperman 15:08, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:CKY

Nominator's rationale: Individuals should be in a separate category per WP:COPSEP, would suggest it should match the article CKY crew. Alternatively, they could be purged, as this could be a WP:PERFCAT issue. --woodensuperman 14:43, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

22nd-century decades

Nominator's rationale: delete, two redundant category layers, diffusion by decade is only useful for the lower "works set in decade" level. Apart from one article (in the 2130s) there is no need to merge, the content is already in other 22nd-century subcats. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:49, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. This is too far in the future to gather enough articles — I checked the eclipses as well, and the four articles are all from different decades. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:40, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

International families needing locational disambiguation

Nominator's rationale: We've renamed all US family categories which need locational disambiguation to put the location in parentheses. These international categories should match. Mike Selinker (talk) 06:33, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Odontobatrachidae

Nominator's rationale: Odontobatrachidae is a monogeneric family. jlwoodwa (talk) 02:31, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:51, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:July 2026 sports events in the United Kingdom

Nominator's rationale: Too soon to diffuse by country & month. –Aidan721 (talk) 01:23, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Surnames from ornamental names

Nominator's rationale: These surnames, i.e., such as Rosenkrantz or Goldfarb are ornamental surnames themselves, not "derived" from anything but their fancy meaning. --Altenmann >talk 01:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is another "things named after other things". We can't do 1:1 relationships in categories (unless we start doing a myriad of 2-member cats - which would presumably be overcat). - jc37 21:56, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sanskrit Aesthetics

Nominator's rationale: So that the capitalization can comply with Wikipedia capitalization conventions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oraclesto (talk • contribs) 00:04, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
