Nominator's rationale: I can't see this as being a defining characteristic for people, particularly where inclusion in the category appears to have an element of arbitrariness to it – people added to the category include Steve Jobs, Amy Grant, and Shakira, but we have Commons images of all of them wearing shoes in public (Jobs in 2007, Jobs in 2010, Grant in 2008, Shakira in 2017, Shakira in 2018).

Keep fictional, delete real/general. We already have numerous lifestyle categories and classifications for people and characters, and this is just as valid and prevalent as any other. The reason why I vote to delete real-life barefooters category is simply because there's way fewer of them than you would find in fiction. While it's common with regards to regular folks, most celebrities don't readily admit to it. --72.184.60.96 (talk) 17:43, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These two categories are describing the exact same thing. There is a ton of overlap between the two. (Oinkers42) (talk) 21:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1930s in Moldova

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn, please see replacement nomination at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_July_9#Early_C20_in_Moldova. – Fayenatic London 22:54, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Option A
  • Propose merging Category:1930s in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to Category:1930s in Moldova
  • Propose merging Category:1930s establishments in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to Category:1930s establishments in Moldova
  • Propose renaming Category:1938 in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to Category:1938 in Moldova
  • Propose renaming Category:1938 establishments in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to Category:1938 establishments in Moldova
Option B
  • Propose merging Category:1930s in Moldova to Category:1930s in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
  • Propose merging Category:1930s establishments in Moldova to Category:1930s establishments in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
  • Propose renaming Category:1939 in Moldova to Category:1939 in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
  • Propose renaming Category:1939 establishments in Moldova to Category:1939 establishments in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
  • Propose renaming Category:1927 in Moldova to Category:1927 in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
  • Propose renaming Category:1927 disestablishments in Moldova to Category:1927 disestablishments in the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
Nominator's rationale: the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic existed from October 1924 to August 1940, when parts of it were combined with parts of Bessarabia into the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. There are not full category hierarchies for Autonomous SSRs, so merger to Moldova (option A) is probably more useful. – Fayenatic London 11:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:00, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to discussions for Category:Supercentenarians by ethnicity below and Category:Supercentenarians by religion yesterday (@Buidhe and Marcocapelle: pinging contributors). There is little connection between being a centenarian (or supercentenarian) with being Jewish, or any ethnicity, or any religion. Trivial intersection per WP:OCEGRS. Place Clichy (talk) 09:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: actually, it seems that EuanB2000 created a number of ethnicity and religion container categories for the purpose of adding Jewish categories to them, before being blocked for tendentious editing against consensus. These may perhaps be deleted per WP:G5. Place Clichy (talk) 09:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:G5: "A page created before the ban or block was imposed [...] will not qualify under this criterion." Armbrust The Homunculus 09:59, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Locus Award for Best Young Adult Book winning works
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD) and the spirit of WP:CRYSTALBALL
The Hugo Award is the recognized prize for Science Fiction and is one of the few awards defining enough for a category. Prior to each year's Hugo Award ceremony, Locus magazine has a reader's choice survey called the Locus Awards to predict/suggest who they think should win the Hugo Award. What works might win a Hugo Award doesn't come within a country mile of being defining. All these "winners" are already listified in individual list articles in Category:Locus Awards. (That category is proposed for renaming so that editors using WP:HOTCAT don't inadvertently add individual winners to a list category.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rename the main category,
Keep the navboxes in that parent,
Delete the other categories (after checking they're already listified in their parent articles (I think they all are).
Grutness...wha? 03:57, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree on the Nebula being defining, although I think of it more of an award for fantasy writing. RevelationDirect (talk) 12:09, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Gatorade National Basketball Player of the Year‎
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
Gatorade sports drinks gives out the Gatorade Player of the Year awards to American high school athletes in 8 sports and we have categories for 2 of them. This award is definitely defining when the high school athletes receive them but Wikipedia doesn't generally have articles on athletes that peaked in high school. (Even the very inclusive WP:NSPORTS draws a hard line for the WP:NOTABILITY of high school players in the WP:NHSPHSATH section which requires "prolonged coverage" beyond a one-time award.) What we actually have in this category are college and pro athletes who, in their early life/high school section, makes a passing reference to this award. This is a Catch-22 where, when the award is defining enough for a category, they aren't notable enough for an article and, when they're notable enough for an article, the category is no longer defining. The recipients are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
