The result of the discussion was: Merge multiple categories per the proposal. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 21:43, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Redundant after the end of these leagues. The category page text and parent categories will need to be manually merged. – Fayenatic London 23:27, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Works about race and ethnicity

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: purge certain sub-cats as discussed. E.g. Category:Jewish American novels should not be in Category:Novels about race and ethnicity; it belongs rather in Category:American novels by ethnic background (and is in that one already). – Fayenatic London 21:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Hopefully I did this correct enough, Twinkle doesn't seem to work for this.

I haven't followed every branch, but one example: Category:Books about race and ethnicity leads to Category:Novels about race and ethnicity which leads to, among others Category:African-American novels, Category:Hispanic and Latino American novels and Category:Jewish American novels. My point is that, IMO, none of these by necessity are 100% about race and ethnicity, take for example Category:Novels by Isaac Asimov. Some serious cutting seems to be in order.Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:41, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 21:45, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I believe this is a non-defining category, as for almost all the teams in the category, there is little or no mention of playing in the FA Cup in their respective articles, because it isn't a key part of their history.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Naturalised association football players by nationality. – Fayenatic London 21:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: – It should not be restricted to countries that use the term 'soccer'. Many countries in the world that do not use that word have ever had those type of players too. Neutral term 'association football' should be applied instead. Then, not sure if 'naturalized' or 'naturalised'. The category was left in Category:Naturalized citizens by nation and Category:Naturalised sports competitors, which is puzzling.--MonFrontieres (talk) 05:12, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • The main category Category:Naturalized citizens by nation has multiple subcategories that used "naturalised". We shouldn't be defaulting to US spelling, especially when it's other parent category uses "s": Category:Naturalised sports competitors. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @GiantSnowman: you might want to nominate the subcategories for deletion in a separate fresh discussion, as this discussion focused primarily on renaming. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:29, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
