Support in principle. Can we turn it into a disambiguation category (or whatever it's called)? Or would that just perpetuate the problem by providing a third category? Mason (talk) 23:50, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Burn survivors in fiction to Category:Fiction about burn survivors

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with precedent about X-in-fiction categories. The alternative is to rename to Category:Fictional burn survivors and limit to characters. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 21:01, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster^talk 22:50, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseBlaster: good question, but I did not receive a ping, so perhaps it is technically not possible to ping while relisting. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Huh. In that case, fixing failed pings: @Smasongarrison and Lenticel.House Blaster^talk 23:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Clarify, it should become Category:Fiction about burn survivors because a significant number of articles are about works rather than about characters. I do not see merit in purging the works. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think reenaming the category to Fiction about burn survivors is better because it is broader. I don't think we should narrow the category to just about the characters themselves. If needed the subcategory of Fictional burn survivors could be added as a subcategory in the future, but the category doesn't need to be diffused right now.

The result of the discussion was: merge both to Category:Warhammer 40,000 and Category:Military science fiction characters (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 12:58, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Imperium (Warhammer 40,000) to Category:Warhammer 40,000 characters

Nominator's rationale: Only one article and two redirects; main article no longer exists. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 13:51, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go further and merge both to Category:Warhammer 40,000. This is all in-universe and unlikely to expand much in future. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:36, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge both to Category:Warhammer 40,000 per Thumperward, it mostly consists of redirects. No prejudice towards its recreation if more actual articles concerning the characters are made. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:05, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: @Zxcvbnm, LaundryPizza03, and Thumperward: do you have an opinion on Marcocapelle's suggestion for a dual merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster^talk 22:33, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's like, one article there that's actually not a redirect, but yes, should also be put in military sci-fi characters. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:57, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My gut feeling is that most of the characters cats will themselves eventually be deleted (because most of it is, yet again, in-universe junk) whereas the 40k cat might stick around (and it it doesn't, the new correct parent wpuld be category:Games Workshop).

Propose deleting Category:Films shot in Apta railway station (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by venue. We can categorize films by the geographic locations (province, state, city, town, etc.) where they were filmed, if numbers warrant, but we don't ordinarily categorize films by specific building that might have been used as a set -- and it's not at all clear that Apta railway station would have enough special significance to warrant unique treatment that most other buildings aren't getting.

Propose deleting Category:Tift College alumni (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for just one alumna of a defunct college. As always, every educational institution that exists does not automatically get one of these the moment one former student has an article to file in it -- there would need to be at least five people to file here before a category for them was warranted, but a scan of the college's what-links-here failed to turn up four other alumni. Bearcat (talk) 17:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative. How about we broaden the scope of the category to Category:Tift College Mason (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There would still have to be at least five articles to file in that — but none of them could be people, because if the college doesn't have dedicated "Alumni of" and "Academic staff of" subcategories then the alumni and academic staff do not go directly into "College" as a substitute for alumni or academic staff subcategories either. So the college would have to have at least five articles about inanimate things associated with it to justify an eponymous category for the college itself, and there would still have to be at least five alumni before they got any Tift-related categorization at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Support per nom. Perhaps eventually there will be enough to support a category, but it seems like not yet. Thanks for explaining it :) Mason (talk) 23:53, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
