You're right. It is unnecessary because there is no multinational leagues for example. I was thinking of harmonizing it with the larger sports category tree when I created this cat but I forgot to check for this. Merge Danielsltt (talk) 05:48, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If a desert is the main setting, like Journey, it can totally be defining for a game. Just not "random desert level #15". I think the problem is with overcategorizing articles that don't have it as their defining trait. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:11, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT of unclear utility. The only two articles filed here are one biography of a person in this family and an overview article about the concept of Colombian comedy as a whole -- but the family is a subtopic of Colombian comedy, not a parent topic, so that article doesn't belong here at all, and there would still have to be at least four other notable De Franciscos with Wikipedia articles before a category for them was warranted anyway.

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT; should be upmerged to parent categories. Unnecessary intersection of nationality, occupation and location. No other similar categories exist, as such subdivision is excessive. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:14, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: ALREADY DELETED. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 05:49, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unpopulated stub category with no evidence of approval by WikiProject stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- there have to be 60 articles to file in a stub category before its creation is warranted, and for that very reason stub categories have to be approved by the WikiProject before they're allowed to be created.
But the only content here is the stub template itself, which has not actually been added to even one article. Further, Category:Scalable Vector Graphics has just 14 articles in it, of which only one is a stub and is already appropriately stub-tagged as graphics software -- so even the SVG-stub template is not clearly needed at all, because there isn't even one article that needs it let alone 60 articles that need it.

The result of the discussion was: keep. Category is now populated. ✗plicit 04:24, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just one film. As always, every county does not automatically get one of these the moment there's one film to file in it -- there would need to be at least five or six films to file here before a dedicated category for this was warranted, and it does not aid navigation at all to obsessively funnel everything down into an exhaustive smorgasbord of one-article microcategories.

Nominator's rationale: There is no consistency in the naming of subcategories of Category:Replicas. This CfD attempts to harmonize the scheme under "Replicas of X" or "Replicas and derivatives of X", with the exception of categories where replica is used as an adjective. In particular, Category:Replica constructions in China cannot be placed in the proposed format without a misplaced modifier. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 06:44, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING. 'historic princely states of India that had Muslim rulers' means nothing for the state as a whole if it is just the head of state's personal religion. So unless these states were actually Islamic Category:Former theocracies or otherwise had sharia as the law of the land, making them Category:Islamic states (in which case an Alt rename to Category:Islamic princely states of India is due), the ruler's religion is WP:NONDEFINING for the state as a whole. Note that there is no Category:Hindu princely states of India either, otherwise I would have co-nominated it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 10:19, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

More nominations
Nominator's rationale: These categories were given their current names, using the style "Paintings in the collection of [Foo]", in this CfD of 15 May 2021. However, when I set up another CfD on 24 July that year to apply that naming convention to categories with the style "Paintings in [Foo]", it was unsuccessful as the new style was considered too verbose. An RfC on 24 October '21, although poorly attended, showed a preference for "Paintings in [Foo]" out of the available options.
Please see that last RfC for the main arguments for "Paintings in [Foo]" over "Paintings in the collection of [Foo]". I would also add that collections with the word "Collection" in their names have already used the proposed style since this CfD of 25 June 2021. Ham II (talk) 06:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:1663 in Massachusetts to Category:1663 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
  • Propose renaming Category:1663 establishments in Massachusetts to Category:1663 establishments in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
Nominator's rationale: Massachusetts was preceded by the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1628–1686, 1689–1691), Plymouth Colony (1620–1686, 1689–1691), the Dominion of New England (1686–1689) and the Province of Massachusetts Bay (1691–1780) during the colonial era. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, Dominion of New England, and the Province of Massachusetts Bay included parts of New England beyond the present-day Massachusetts borders. This better aligns the category naming structure with Category:Years in the Province of New York. Also, the territories of present-day Maine were a part of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and were formally the District of Maine from 1790–1820 before statehood. Lastly, merge 1787/1788 categories for territories that were merged into the Dominion of New England. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:33, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
