Nominator's rationale: Not a WP:CATDEF. There are dozens if not hundreds of animated television series featuring teenagers, which is inevitable as many of these series are targeted at young children/preteens/young adults, and we have other categories for those. The numerous shows in this category otherwise have very little in common, and, as far as I can tell, sources are not referring to nor discussing these series as "being about teenagers". silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 13:51, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: With a couple of minor exceptions, these are intermediate container categories holding only sub-cats titled "architecture" rather than "buildings", and there is nothing to distinguish them from the Architecture by country and period or style hierarchy which was recently renamed (see CFD Sept 2). A few have only one sub-cat, in which case I have proposed upmerging instead of renaming. – Fayenatic London 15:25, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERCAT / WP:CATDEFINING. These individuals are notable for being in the U.S. House and are otherwise already categorized in Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives. Being impeachment managers is not a defining characteristic. Likewise for the defenders. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:54, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apparently you did not bother reading these articles. Even articles in as far back as Category:House managers for the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson are very elaborate. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:43, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle: Good point. The more developed articles in these categories (b-class, good articles, featured articles) tend to go in-depth on their involvement in the impeachments and impeachment trials.
    Examples:
    It's the less developed ones that only dedicate a passing mention or less.
    Many of the articles in this category are stubs merely adaptions of congressional biographies. Who could expect an in-depth analysis on such incomplete articles?

  • I was making a completely different point. All articles in these categories are well-developed, yet they seldom elaborate on this topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:13, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle Then you didn't really read the articles for Andrew Johnson's era yourself, since those by large go very well into depth with the congressmen's involvement in the impeachment and the trial. SecretName101 (talk) 07:24, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    See the above examples (particularly Butler) as well as others from that impeachment such as George S. Boutwell. SecretName101 (talk) 07:27, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Butler is quite an exception among all others in these categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:15, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These two categories (Category:Adult comics) and Category:Children's comics) seem to be rather arbitrary, many comics are intended for both or intended for one and read by the other. In Europe at least, nearly all the comics listed here as for children are read widely by adults, and at least some of the "adult" comics like De Kiekeboes are read very frequently by young children, while most in this category are ready by adolescents. Vice versa, things like Calvin and Hobbes are listed as children's comics, but are probably more popular among adults. Some like Asterix are already included in both, making it rather poor defining characteristics. Fram (talk) 08:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
