The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Michael Bublé and Category:Music television specials. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think we've got a WP:PERFCAT, WP:SMALLCAT situation here. At best, upmerge to Category:Michael Bublé. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:24, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Sports governing bodies in the Americas. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A set of sports governing bodies organised to cover the whole Americas without any specific Pan-Americanism. Category:Sports governing bodies in the America‎s, Category:Sports governing bodies in North America‎, and Category:Sports governing bodies in South America‎ exist.

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) 06:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All these categories have nothing to do with bilateral, foreign, and/or international relations as the naming would suggest. The majority of the entries are subcats that have to do with people of Scottish heritage, diaspora, and emigrants, including expatriate sportspeople. The Poland category entries have mostly to do with relations related to the UK. As do all the other categories nominated regarding relations as modern relations of Scotland are through the UK. Not independently by Scotland. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:European sports federations to Category:Continental sports governing bodies in Europe
Nominator's rationale: Either rename to Continental sports governing bodies in Europe (shows that the category is for sports governing bodies between world level and national level) or merge to Category:Sports governing bodies in Europe. Compare Category:Continental championships and Category:National sports governing bodies in Europe. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 15:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Indo-Turkic history

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) 06:47, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: What is the scope of this category? New creation with no parents, no description, no main article and contains the likes of Mughal Empire, Akbar, Delhi Sultanate, Mamluk dynasty (Delhi), Nizam of Hyderabad and Indo-Persian culture. Article Mughal Empire clearly states that its founders were of Mongol origine, hence the name, and Nizam of Hyderabad makes no mention of Turkic at all, so this seems to be an indiscriminate collection of articles with nothing in common between them.

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:48, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This seems to be overcategorization, we already have categories for all tournament winners such as FIFA World Cup-winning players. No articles even exist on the winning captains, this information seems better suited to include on a pages such as List of FIFA World Cup winning players. Also, there is not always a clear definition of who a winning captain is, as a team may have no designated captain, multiple captains or a captain who misses the final. S.A.

Category:Dhaka University footballers

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) 06:48, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No article exists regarding a football team of University of Dhaka, nor is there any page that covers university football in Bangladesh. Only one of the articles mentions playing for a university team, it is difficult to tell whether the members of this category played for a school team, or are just footballers that attended this university. S.A. Julio (talk) 08:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
[1] please check this article relating the Dhaka University Football team. The team had many national team members playing for them and all of the players obviously attended the University. You can also look at their line up in a Cup final on RSSSF [2].FNH004 (talk) 09:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • [3] this article also has information about the Dhaka University football team. I can provide more information if required. FNH004 (talk) 09:15, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That does not change the fact that there is almost nothing on the topic on Wikipedia. Also, only one of the articles mentions playing for the team, which would indicate to me this is WP:NONDEF. S.A. Julio (talk) 09:18, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What about the Dacca University cricketers category? It should be deleted as well since there are no pages related to a Dhaka University Cricket Team. [4] this article proves Kaiser Hamid played for the team and [5] this article proves that Saifur Rahman Moni also played for the team. [6] proves that Sayeed Hassan Kanan played for the team. If these sources are not enough I guess I will have to make the team's page first. FNH004 (talk) 12:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:State symbols of the president of Ukraine. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Analogous to Category:United States state insignia. Regalia are symbols of royal power, Ukraine wasn't a kingdom and most of the insignias in the category are presidental/republican Marcelus (talk) 08:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is insignia the right term? The bulava and collar are physical objects, not merely graphical symbols used in insignia. Wouldn’t Category:State symbols of Ukraine or Category:Ukrainian state symbols be better? (The usual equivalent of United States used attributively is the adjective Ukrainian.)  —Michael Z. 12:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF and WP:OCAWARD. These awards are not a defining characteristic for most of the players. S.A. Julio (talk) 08:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining, we should not be categorizing players/managers for every single trophy they have won. These categories are typically only created for major international tournaments, such as Category:FIFA World Cup-winning players. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:52, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: You're right, that also seems non-defining. I've now added it. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:04, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary eponymous parent for one subcategory. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 07:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will happily withdraw my vote when and if more content exists, but next time please create the category after you created all other content, instead of upfront. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:06, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • A template is neither an article or a category and only serves as another means of navigation. Let's see the volume of content that gets created because albums and members subcategories can simply be interlinked as well. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not opposed to this getting deleted for the time being, and I can recreate it once the other articles are in place.--Bricks&Wood talk 02:45, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:50, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories are for non-defining characteristics. The 'players at international tournament' categories are typically only created for major events, such as Category:FIFA World Cup players and Category:UEFA European Championship players. The following categories are for the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, a youth tournament. This is not a high enough level to warrant a category, and would cause way too many categories to be used on player articles if one was created for every youth/regional championship. Follows similar discussions here and here. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Nicknames. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:51, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is a very large overlap with Category:Nicknames - most, though not all (through oversight), of the entries in this category are also in its parent - so there is no need for two categories. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
