Category:Judges educated at British public schools

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:37, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This was created in Aug 2022 by user:Rathfelder, along with its parent Category:People educated at British public schools. This is the only 'by occupation' subcategory of Category:People educated at British public schools which is otherwise subcategorised by school. Oculi (talk) 22:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:National Hockey League first-round draft picks

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) Qwerfjkltalk 08:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The round in which a player is drafted is trivial to their overall career. I can see an argument for first-overall picks, as this adds a sustained level of notoriety and expectations. However, dozens of players are selected in the first round of the NHL draft each year. I also note that there are no equivalents for other US-based leagues. User:Namiba 15:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 to Category:Incidents involving the sovereign citizen movement. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Incidents involving sovereign citizens to [[:Category:Incidents involving persons who self-describe with the the pseudolaw label "sovereign citizen"]]
Nominator's rationale: Current name violates both WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE by assuming, in WP:WIKIVOICE that persons involved in these incidents were, in fact, so-called 'sovereign citizens', whereas our article on that topic describes the soveriegn citizen babble as "pseudolaw".

Category:Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations

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 and manual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:40, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category should not exist as there are certainly WP:NONDEF concerns for the living accusers and the deceased who prevailed in a court of law. People are not notable for allegations and that includes the accused and the accuser. See for similar discussions. Jackson or his accusers are not defined by these accusations, nor would they want to be. The minority of non-BLP entries, including the subcategory, can be moved to the parent Category:Michael Jackson. TruthGuardians (talk) 18:14, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename to align with Category:Islam and other religions and with Category:Muhammad and Judaism, and better recognizable as a topic category instead of a set category. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:08, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, the 9th century is a little too early to start this series of categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
