  • Propose renaming Category:Cybernetted society in fiction to Category:Fiction about smart cities
Nominator's rationale: The title of the category does not appear anywhere else. I think the idea of smart cities can describe the subject fairly well. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:31, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bangladesh under-23 cricketers

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) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category:Bangladesh under-23 cricketers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is WP:NOTDEFINING, as Bangladesh under-23 have played 5 matches in their history according to Bangladesh national under-23 cricket team (and 2 of them weren't ranked as proper matches anyway). Under-23s cricket teams are not a common feature of cricket (unlike e.g. men's football, where the Olympics has under-23s teams), and so this category is unnecessary. If this category is deleted, then its parent and grandparent categories will be empty, so can be deleted too. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More nominations
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Not enough content per year to warrant these categories. Manually handle Track cycling at the YYYY Summer Olympics since they are already parented by Cycling at the YYYY Summer Olympics. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:47, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: No Consensus to merge/delete. - jc37 02:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The members of this category may have given performances that might today be called "erotic" but that is not a defining characteristic of any of them. I propose moving them up a level to Category:German female dancers to better encompass the range of what they did. Northernhenge (talk) 10:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion has so far centred on Erotic dance and Category:Erotic dancers but, to be clear, the intended proposal was to take the current members of Category:German female erotic dancers out of that tree and put them into Category:German female dancers. Any discussion around Category:Erotic dancers would need to take place seperately. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:27, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
