Category:Canada–United States border towns

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: relist at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 31 with Mexico equivalents. – Fayenatic London 15:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A prior renaming proposal for the Canadian-specific subcategory resulted in that category being deleted rather than renamed or upmerged back here, because consensus decided that it wasn't a sufficiently WP:DEFINING characteristic -- and if it's not adequately defining of Canadian towns and cities, then it's not adequately defining of towns and cities on the US side of the border either. Many of these places are not the location of any actual border-crossing facility, but merely happen to be located near the boundary line -- and thus they don't have a defining relationship with the Canada-US border per se, because you can't go there to cross the border (unless perhaps you want to get yourself arrested for sneaking across the border illegally, which is not something Wikipedia should be encouraging.) And for the ones that do have border crossing facilities, we already have Category:Canada–United States border crossings to contain the articles about the facilities themselves, so we don't need to also categorize the towns they happen to be located in or near.

Deceased professional wrestlers categories

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. Nearly every article was already in another professional wrestler category (usually Fooian male/female professional wrestlers), and I manually added the rest. Only two articles—Marianna Komlos and Wally Karbo—will be excluded from this category tree after deletion, because I could not determine from the articles whether they were in fact professional wrestlers or just performed some other role (e.g. announcer, manager, promoter). -- Black Falcon (talk) 04:01, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category has the potential to grow huge, needs constant monitoring to remain fully up to date, and has little practical use that I can see. McPhail (talk) 21:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pokémon anime and manga

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). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Besides being based on the same video games, the anime and manga have almost nothing to do with each other. It makes no sense to lump them in a category together. JDDJS (talk) 20:14, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Marcocapelle Pokémon is a special case. Most animes are directly based on a manga, and while they often add additional plots, they don't usually make significant changes to the plot. Pokemon anime is different in that it's not based on the manga at all, and both run completely independently of each other. JDDJS (talk) 17:05, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Canadian writers in French

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: no consensus (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I'm proposing renaming this cat and all of the sub cats. I think French-language writers sounds more natural and it is clearer what it means. JDDJS (talk) 02:56, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  1. writers in the Canadian French dialect
  2. writers in French who happen to be Canadian
There will naturally be significant overlap between these two categories, but they are not identical. There are surely French-language writers who are Canadians but do not speak Canadian French (e.g. writers who immigrated from France to Canada), and there may be people who write in Canadian French without having Canadian nationality (e.g. Québécois who immigrated to the U.S. or their children).
By contrast "Canadian writers in French" refers reasonably clearly to the second of these two groups. --Saforrest (talk) 11:25, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Yugoslavia did only exist in the 20th century. Redundant category. Zoupan 02:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bosnian nobility

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 15:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is already Category:Medieval Bosnian nobility‎ (that is, of the Banate of Bosnia and Kingdom of Bosnia) and Category:Ottoman Bosnian nobility (of the Sanjak of Bosnia and Bosnia Eyalet), sub-categories of target destination. Bosnia is not a country, Bosnia and Herzegovina is. Zoupan 02:18, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • If needed, it would be a split of Category:Medieval Bosnian nobility‎ to Category:Nobility of the Kingdom of Bosnia and Category:Nobility of the Banate of Bosnia. So this is a proposal that is not in any way related to the nominated category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:14, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 15:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a country. Herzegovina is a modern name, while the category mostly houses medieval nobility. There is already proper categories in the Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina nobility tree.Zoupan 01:48, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
