The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:53, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Problem solving" is an extremely vague way of describing a television series and inclusion criteria are unclear as "problem solving" tends not to be used to describe shows in reliable sources. The current entries seem to be a fairly random selection of shows and in my opinion none of them have "problem solving" as a defining characteristic of the show. I think shows would be better categorised using other categories. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 21:09, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Diplomats by ethnicity (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Merge Category:Burgher diplomats to Category:Burgher people. All four articles are already in the appropriate subcategory for Sri Lankan diplomats.
  • Merge Category:Sinhalese diplomats to Category:Sinhalese people and Category:Sri Lankan diplomats
  • Merge Category:Tamil diplomats / Category:Sri Lankan Tamil diplomats to Category:Tamil people and Category:Sri Lankan diplomats
  • Merge Category:Yoruba diplomats / Category:Yoruba women diplomats to Category:Yoruba people (Note:Yoruba women diplomats is now empty because the category creator added it to articles without any proof or even claims of their ethnicity. The editor has been blocked for two weeks as a result.)
  • Delete Category:Burgher diplomats (The only article is in the appropriate subcategories)
  • Delete Category:Sri Lankan Moor diplomats (Articles are in appropriate subcategories)
Nominator's rationale: These are trivial intersections of ethnicity and profession. Diplomats represent nation-states, not ethnic groups. User:Namiba 19:13, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:48, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Video game leaks to Category:Video games that have been leaked
Nominator's rationale: Per this discussion, the current name of the category implies that the cat contains articles about leaks, rather than video games that have been leaked. I'm also not opposed to deleting this category if that's where consensus goes, but I'm not as familiar with those guidelines so I won't speak to that.

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:44, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only content is Category:Victims of aviation accidents or incidents by year. This is an unnecessary intermediate category. Rathfelder (talk) 17:00, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional male deities

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unlike the singular "god", the plural "gods" clearly refers to the non-monotheistic deities. Similarly, the parent category is "gods". Therefore, it doesn't need the disambiguation like the main article would. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:27, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional males by occupation

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:41, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:OCEGRS. Unless it's a gendered occupation, which there is a separate category for, these cross-categorizations are not notable. I.E., there is nothing special about a male detective that makes it necessary to have an X+Y category instead of being in both category X and category Y. Any subcategories should be merged into the relevant non-gendered parent category. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 14:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have been told once that fictional categories use "male" and "female" rather than "men" and "women" because some fictional characters are anthropomorphic rather than human. This is just for info, I do not actually oppose the rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:58, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I've changed to oppose. It does seems reasonable to use male, female, hermaphrodite, et alia. Perhaps the standard tree is wrong? Where do we discuss such things these days? OTOH, it is "Wonder Woman".

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:40, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I believe this category has been split into Category:AfC pending submissions by age/14 days ago, Category:AfC pending submissions by age/15 days ago, Category:AfC pending submissions by age/16 days ago, Category:AfC pending submissions by age/17 days ago, Category:AfC pending submissions by age/18 days ago, Category:AfC pending submissions by age/19 days ago, and Category:AfC pending submissions by age/20 days ago. Ever since then, it has been empty, and is now useless. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 13:29, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Honorary Members of Xirka Ġieħ ir-Repubblika
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
When foreign leaders visit Malta, or vice versa, the Honorary version of the Xirka Ġieħ ir-Repubblika is given out as souvenir to commemorate the visit. First Lady Maria Cavaco Silva, Queen Elizabeth II and General Harald Kujat are not remotely defined by this award. The contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Recipients of the Bledisloe Medal
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
The Bledisloe Medal is award given to alumni and faculty of Lincoln University (New Zealand), a small agricultural school. The award generally gets a passing mention in the biography articles so it doesn't seem defining and, by definition, all the articles should be under either Category:Lincoln University (New Zealand) alumni or Category:Lincoln University (New Zealand) faculty. The current category is really a draft list article in the wrong namespace that just needs some citations to establish notability so I copied the header and listed the contents here and here so no work is lost. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
