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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 09:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 July 29#Lords by country, renaming Category:Lords of Italy to Category:Lords in Italy. Note also parent Category:History of women in Italy using in Italy rather than of Italy or Italian (so WP:C2C). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:19, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ukrainian military personnel killed in the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just one person. Navigation of the pedia is in no way facilitated by obsessively sifting everything down into granularized microcategories of one -- this would be fine if there were a lot of notable military personnel to file here, but if there's only one then there's no need to categorize him any more specifically than the merge target. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there are five or ten people to file here, but it's not needed for just one person.

Category:American women fiction writers

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 10:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT of unclear necessity. This is essentially just duplication of other categories that already exist, such as Category:American women novelists and Category:American women short story writers -- since virtually all fiction is either novels or short stories by definition, those other categories already cover off women who write fiction without needing this to coexist alongside them. (And, indeed, the one woman filed here is already in the novelists category alongside this anyway, so she doesn't need upmerging.) Bearcat (talk) 12:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:29, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT of unclear utility. The only thing filed in here at all is the overview article homophobia itself, rather than any terminology per se -- but that article is already heading the parent category Category:Homophobia as it is, and it's not clear that the other category (which mainly comprises articles about incidents rather than terms) has enough things that could be recategorized as "terminology" to get this over the minimum size bar. Bearcat (talk) 12:41, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For example, it is for feminism: Category:Feminist terminology. Just like it, we should add this category to the articles related to the subject. I see no reason to delete it. Gadir (talk) 15:15, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You would need to show specific examples of other articles that could be added to this category (preferably by actually adding them to the category) before that became a reason to keep it. Just saying "we should add stuff" isn't a compelling argument if it hasn't been shown that there is any stuff to add — but as I noted in my nomination statement, the parent category Category:Homophobia consists almost entirely of incident articles rather than terminology articles.

Per WP:SMALLCAT, there still have to be more things than that before the category becomes justified. Bearcat (talk) 12:48, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: disperse to the tree under Category:Prime ministers, there is no reason for a separate top category just based on a difference in the name of the office. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 10:33, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with each only one subcategory; it is also an isolated series. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge Category:15th-century rulers in South America to Category:15th-century South American people. (No need to upmerge to Category:15th-century monarchs; Category:15th-century monarchs in South America is already there).
Upmerge Category:16th-century rulers in South America to Category:16th-century South American people. (No need to upmerge to Category:16th-century monarchs; Category:16th-century monarchs in South America is already there).
We shouldn't be orphaning them when we can upmerge them. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Hmm??? Unclear what the purpose of this category is when we already have Category:X-Men (film series) (note the parentheses), and the other two categories in this category are already subcategories of Category:X-Men (film series). Redundant and unneeded. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:28, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
