Propose deleting Category:Overseas Chinese Presidents (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: I think this means 'Politicians of Chinese descent who became President of a country', which seems like too narrow a category. Giant Snowman 15:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge this category into Category:Politicians of Chinese descent instead. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 18:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. If kept rename to Category:National presidents of Chinese descent aligning with Category:National presidents and Category:People of Chinese descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:23, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merging is unnecessary, the articles are already in Category:Guyanese politicians of Chinese descent etc. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Do not merge per Marcocapelle. NLeeuw (talk) 04:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:12th-century French novelists to Category:12th-century novelists

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. The 12th-century novelists category is too small for diffusion by nationality (a.k.a. there's 2 people in the entire tree). Mason (talk) 23:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Independant Native American countries (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Or plausibly, just a rename to correct the spelling error. Redundant at best with other categories, the notion of a "country" as we understand it seems dangerously nebulous and unattested in several member articles here. Remsense诉 22:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; Native Americans did not have nation states per se, at least not according to the sources I've read. Dubious. 162 etc. (talk) 23:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly rename to Category:Independent Native American confederacies but I am not opposing deletion either. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge both to Category:20th-century Australian artists. (non-admin closure) House Blaster (talk · he/him) 13:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Visual artists in late 20th-century Australia to Category:Australian contemporary artists/Category:Australian modern artists
Propose merging Category:Visual artists in early 20th-century Australia to Category:Australian contemporary artists

Nominator's rationale: Can we make these categories more defining? I really don't know what to do with them. Perhaps split by art movement? Mason (talk) 19:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Category:20th-century Australian artists as the most obvious merge target. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Smasongarrison: are you okay with Marco's suggested target? House Blaster (talk · he/him) 22:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I'm very ok with using the most obvious target. Mason (talk) 22:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy renamed as a straightforward spelling error that didn't require debate. Bearcat (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Canadian mIlitary personnel by city to Category:Canadian military personnel by city

Nominator's rationale: There is a typo in the category name, there should not be a capital I inside "military". ☆ Bri (talk) 15:54, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per WP:C2A, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy rename per WP:C2A. NLeeuw (talk) 04:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not necessary to take a straightforward spelling error like this to CFD for seven full days of discussion, and this could have been handled as a speedy. Dirty deed already done, dirt cheap. Bearcat (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Beauty goddesses (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Vague categorization based on "associated with". PepperBeast (talk) 13:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Why single this one category out from the very large Category:Goddesses by association? Makes no sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Every single category about "deities of x", covers associations. Dimadick (talk) 14:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The category may need some cleaning up, but the association is fairly common in every pantheon. Invokingvajras (talk) 3:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Keep Goddesses like Lakshmi are linked with Beauty.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 05:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is a rare instance in which association may be WP:DEFINING, as deities are defined by what humans believe about them. As examining what or how deities really are, or if they even exist, is beyond human capacity, human beliefs about what they are, and associations about what they do, need to be central in how we categorise them, as long as associations are not WP:UNDUE.
