Nominator's rationale: All future Fantastic Four films will be set in the MCU, and it is unlikely any characters from the previous films will receive their own articles. As we already have Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts, this category is no longer needed. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:15, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Only in case of Category:6th-millennium BC people and Category:7th-millennium BC people people cannot be categorized by century, but those are one-article categories.

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:14, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. Either people in this category are Italian themselves, in which case they belong in Category:Italian baseball players (which is not exclusive of people having held several citizenships during their lifetime, simultaneously or not), or the place where their ancestors lived probably has little thing to do with the fact that they played baseball of all sports. There is no other category by descent for baseball players, or any other sport. Place Clichy (talk) 18:28, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Countries by language family

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 17:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:G4: recent (18 February 2023) re-creation of previously deleted category, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 8#Countries and territories by language family ("the 2020-01-8 CfD") and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 January 17#Countries and territories by language family ("the 2020-01-17 CfD"). It is evident that some categories just escaped the attention of the previous CfDs. Consequently, Category:Former Slavic countries must also be deleted, because Category:Slavic countries and territories was deleted in the same 2020-01-08 CfD, and if there is no such thing as "Slavic countries", then there is no such thing as "former Slavic countries". Category:Former Slavic countries should already have been deleted during the 2020-01-08 CfD, but instead, only its deleted parent Category:Slavic countries and territories was removed. Update: This leaves me no choice but to nominate the other subcategories as well. Category:Germanic countries and territories was previously nominated for deletion, resulting in no consensus (Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 March 19); for some weird reason, it was not included in the 2020-01-08 CfD, even though in its own 2019-03-19 CfD some people tried to defend the category by invoking Category:Romance countries and territories, Category:Slavic countries and territories, Category:Turkic countries and territories and others that were later deleted in the 2020-01-08 CfD and the 2020-01-17 CfD. The fact that the 2020-01-17 CfD already deleted Category:Turkic countries and territories‎ leaves little reason for Category:Turkic states, Category:Historical Turkic states and Category:Turkic rump states to exist (just like "Slavic countries" and "former Slavic countries"). Same goes for Category:Germanic empires and Category:Germanic kingdoms. As for Category:Iranian countries and territories, both Category:Indo-Iranian countries and territories‎ and Category:Indo-Iranian-speaking countries and territories were already deleted in these two CfDs.
The following cats are children of Category:Countries and territories by language (a legitimate container cat), in which they are pretending to be a "language", but are in fact a language family:
  • Category:Iranian-speaking countries and territories is just the same category as Category:Iranian countries and territories under another name; the Iranian languages are a language family, not a single language, so we end up with the same inappropriate categorisation of countries by language family.
  • Category:Bodic countries and territories; the Bodic or Bodish languages are a proposed language family.
  • Category:Boro–Garo countries and territories; Bodo–Garo languages are a language family.
  • Category:Kuki-Chin–Naga countries and territories; Kuki-Chin–Naga languages are a language family.
  • Category:Berber-speaking countries and territories; the Berber languages are a language family.

What you're suggesting seems very WP:ARBITRARYCAT and WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Besides, Category:Romance countries and territories and Category:Turkic countries and territories were already deletes 3 years ago as WP:NONDEFINING; I don't think such arguments hold much merit anymore. The only proper "purge" seems to delete all similar ill-defined categories, which is exactly what I'm proposing. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 03:08, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per article title Principality of Chaghaniyan. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:49, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, the term 'principality' seems strange, as the head of state isn't called "prince" anywhere; the article speaks of 'king', 'queen', and 'lord'. As we agreed previously, whenever there is difficulty in translating a title and no consistency in literature, "monarch" would be the best default option. There are also some etymological reasons for picking "monarch". Persian Wikipedia gives the title چغان خدا (Chaghan Khudah on English Wikipedia); the latter word en:wikt:خدا (xodâ) can mean [1] God, god [2] lord [3] patron [4] chief [5] master [6] owner. In its archaic Middle Persian form en:wikt:خدای (xwdây, Xvaday) it simply means "God"/"god". According to en:wikt:god#English, there is no Proto-Indo-European connection between the English word "god", going back to a verb meaning "to invoke", and these Iranian/Persian words; the latter are reconstructed as en:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Iranian/hwatā́wā, from "self" + "power/strength", meaning [1] lord, sovereign, king [2] god. I suppose this is the Persian equivalent of "autocrat" (self-strength/power) and comes very close to the literal meaning of "monarch" (alone-reign).
I was also curious whether چغان (cheghan) might just be a Persianised form of the Turkic word khagan, but no; that is en:wikt:خاقان (xâqân), and it certainly wouldn't explain the longer Middle Persian form (چَگینیگان Čagīnīgān). The etymology of this word is not easy; it doesn't have to be derived from khagan, and it's probably just a toponym. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename & reparent. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:27, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent to Category:Monarchs per actual content of the category. There aren't any notable legendary presidents or legendary prime ministers. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:02, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps all this requires a new, separate nomination? It doesn't really challenge the proposition of renaming from "rulers" to "monarchs", but it might be helpful to consider changing "legendary" to "legendary and mythological", or to reformulate it as "Monarchs in mythology/myths and legends" per Category:Kings in Norse mythology and legends. Because all of its subcats seem to suffer the same problem of distinguishing between legendary and mythological. I do think it's helpful to have gendered categories for kings and queens, and items which don't qualify for the given dynastic title ("king, queen" etc.) can be moved around or removed, that may not require a name change. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:56, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It probably requires a different discussion. As far as I am aware of, the word "mythological" is more often associated with (extinct) religions, while "legendary" is used mostly in entirely non-religious context. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with Marcocapelle, this should be a later discussion after closing. Such impatience. Thank goodness we don't rely on personal understanding. There are professionals who develop these concepts. We have well referenced articles on Myth and Legend. Categories will follow. Mistakes will be rectified.
