Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, some of these articles are about a disorder, others are about identity problems, but none (except the main article Identity disorder) are consistently are about identity disorders. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:28, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. If anyone wants to selectively add the members of the category to a different category (D'Oyly Carte Opera Company members), a list of the current contents can be found on the talk page (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:PERFCAT states "avoid categorizing artists based on producers, film directors or other artists they have worked with". This category is literally the definition of this. This is hardly WP:DEFINING for people like Bill Oddie, Alistair McGowan, etc, etc, is it? I would suggest that some of the articles could be moved to Category:D'Oyly Carte Opera Company members or similar, so that WP:OCASSOC and WP:PERFCAT are satisfied. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:30, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Brand new category. (Almost) not WP:DEFINING – I could see theoretically that if there were some article(s) specifically about the investigations themselves, that might work, but none of the things put in here fall under that. Just about any incident involving a death is going to involve a coroner (or medical examiner). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming this CFD closes as delete (and the siblings aren't at CFD) then it would be reasonable to purge the sibling categories and CSD them if empty. DexDor (talk) 12:36, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: No consensus Timrollpickering (Talk) 00:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Contravenes WP:OCASSOC. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 12:37, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How is this "valuable information"? This is just an indiscriminate collection of people who are somehow possibly connected to G&S, without any definition of the nature of the relationship. Categories like this are exactly why we need to follow WP:OCASSOC. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 15:56, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is not indiscriminate. Inclusion criteria are described in the category. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's too loosely worded to be definitive inclusion criteria, which in itself is a good example of the problems of trying to define inclusion outlined in WP:OCASSOC. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 10:10, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:LGBT people and marriage

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (Talk) 00:16, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, it currently only contains a redirect and a subcategory. Note that the subcategory is technically referring to marriage in general, but it emerged only while gay marriage became more of an issue (see e.g. the book Against Equality: Queer Critiques of Gay Marriage).

The result of the discussion was: Keep (WP:NAC). DexDor (talk) 14:40, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Match name of the article (Schutzstaffel), actual name. The current location should be preserved as category redirect to avoid breaking any incoming external links. buidhe 02:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
