Delete. These have never been sovereign state parties, they have always been de-facto controlled by Russia, and their militias have always been staffed by Russian officers and under Russian command. And these militias have only been involved in one war, the Russo-Ukrainian War, as Russian proxies and alongside Russian forces. The categories are meaningless and misleading.  —Michael Z. 04:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Apart from the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand subcategories I've nominated below, the only other contents remaining here are four US-specific lists (one omnibus list and three sublists for cabinet members, state governors and senators). Even those lists are still of questionable necessity — I'll grant the "natural born citizen" restriction on the presidency as a US-specific factor, but (a) that isn't applicable to cabinet members, state governors or senators at all, and (b) being physically born on foreign soil does not automatically make one not a "natural born citizen" as the citizenship status of the parents comes into play as well, so those lists are not across the board synonymous with "holders of lower offices who were ineligible to run for president" — but I'm not listing them for deletion here and now, and incidentally Category:Foreign-born American politicians has been previously brought to CFD and deleted.
But it's highly doubtful that they would need a dedicated category for them, as they're all already somewhere in the Category:Lists of political office-holders in the United States tree as it is, and even if a category is warranted it would have to be US-specific since there's no legitimately defining basis for categorizing people this way in any other country. So this needs to be either deleted, or renamed to something exclusively American. Bearcat (talk) 16:32, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Seawolf35 T--C 09:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Categories for a non-defining intersection of unrelated traits. I'm bundling these separately from the Canadian sibling I've nominated below, as Australia does have a rule that a foreign-born Australian citizen has to renounce any foreign citizenships before they're allowed to hold some Australian political offices -- however, that's such a minor, easily-attainable process that can typically be completed within a matter of days, so the question of whether they were born in Australia or outside of it is basically just a minor speed bump rather than a permanently defining characteristic of a politician's entire career.
New Zealand also doesn't have any rule barring foreign-born citizens from holding political office in Aotearoa, either, although I don't know whether they handle it more like Australia or Canada -- but it's still unlikely to define a Kiwi's entire political career.

Keep (as I understand it, please ping me if I got something wrong). The service does not appear to have been renamed, it appears to have ended without a replacement.

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OCEGRS, a split of cultural depictions by gender is rather trivial and cultural depictions of men of any nationality or of women of any nationality are not a notable topic in themselves.

@Marcocapelle, I would indeed agree that it should be "American people by" but shouldn't that be discussed at full Cfd, since the rest of the categories in Category:People by populated place in the United States also stated with "People of the United States by..."?

There's no reason we should leave out Washington D.C., historic territories and insular areas. Agree with using American people. Place Clichy (talk) 02:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle, your opinion on these ones. I'm rather torn because they specifically point to populated places in states.
Washington, D.C. would have areas within it but likely no city or town or village, etc. and the insular areas have their own divisions in Category:People by insular area of the United States. So I think this is a seperate conversation. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:43, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Qwerfjkl, support alt rename as well as the original nom. Per an objection to the "state or territory" renames in speedy, I support the original renames but NOT the alt renames until there is a further discussion on the matter. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:15, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(after relisting) @Omnis Scientia: do you actually oppose the use of by state or territory, or do you just acknowledge that one user opposed some of your own speedy renamings of other such categories not listed in this discussion? There seem to be strong arguments for the inclusion of places like Washington D.C. and the Alaska Territory in American categories diffused by geography, and unfortunately some pernikety users keep removing them from such categories when they just use by state because they are not states. CfD is "stronger" than speedy discussion, if I may say, so of course we are not prevented to agree on a new name for these categories because of the speedy objection. We had that discussion before several times (example). Place Clichy (talk) 13:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Place Clichy, I don't oppose the rename personally because I think it makes sense but a few users did strongly oppose all speedy renames to "state or territory" (I did a handful but most were done by @Aidan721 and @Smasongarrison) regardless of what the subject was a while back and it was suggested that this go back to full discussion with the WikiProjects of insular areas involved this time.
The conversation is in "Opposed requests" here if you want to see for yourself. They feel quite strongly about it and the Cfd which decided on "state or territory". Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking! This is always going to be super-messy. Category:Modern painters "Painters who have played a role in the history of modern art, dating from the late 19th century until (approximately) the 1970s", which I think is ok. I looked at a few random entries (there are approaching 2,000 in the head-cat and sub-cats) and they all met that definition, though none actually used "modern painter or a painter of modern art" in the lead, but more specific terms (or no term at all). Many could no doubt be moved to more specific categories, although of course a category like say Category:Abstract expressionist artists very often won't match an artist's whole career.
