The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: New category matches existing Commons category. Fixes discrepancy: "Commons category link is locally defined". Kerel-fs (talk) 22:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: dual merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:49, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge for now. These categories is underpopulated, and should be upmerged. It doesn't help navigation to have only a handful of people in here Mason (talk) 22:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dual merge, these people's art is unrelated to their Coptic ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) 2pou (talk) 08:25, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Course of action unclear but this category is populated with only three names. Not sure what category creator was thinking but ...
Nominator's rationale: as stated above. 2600:1017:B817:8730:0:62:8A5E:7F01 (talk) 21:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. There are 3 major categories in this, English, Welsh, Scottish. From your description, it seems suspiciously underpopulated, but in reality there are numerous people in the standard child categories. Mason (talk) 22:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters with dream manipulation abilities

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 16:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too vague. Even I have dream manipulation abilities if I wanted to learn how to lucid dream. The truly supernatural kind can be classified under any number of powers and abilities, but in itself doesn't seem defining. It should be deleted or dispersed as appropriate (i.e. to psychics or characters who can use magic). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional illusionists

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 16:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: If this category is to stay, it really needs to be more clearly separate from fictional magicians. Alternatively, maybe it should be dispersed. Is being an illusionist defining for all these characters? ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:15, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Negro league baseball personnel. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Has only one page and is unlikely to grow. The only article is already in appropriate subcats of Category:American sports announcers. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Smasongarrison, the lists exists so the categories aren't necessary. Given previous precedence, shouldn't these ones be deleted as well? Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Establishments in Hejaz

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: merge/delete/rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The 1916 category for Hejaz riyal is the only page categorised in this hierarchy. Saudi Arabia strictly began in 1925 but 4 other pages are categorised in Category: Establishments in Saudi Arabia by year before that date, and it will be more useful for navigation to categorise this one likewise. The Hejaz riyal was the start of the Saudi riyal anyway. – Fayenatic London 22:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I have now tagged Category:Establishments in Hejaz by year.

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete under criterion G4: recreation of a page previously deleted at a deletion discussion. I have also removed all articles from the category. There don't appear at present to be any subcategories. JBW (talk) 21:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per a previous Cfd which deleted this category; the user deleted the container category but forgot nominate its subcats for deletion which is which this was recreated: for a target category for merging the two into one category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category seems to only live on in old versions of citation templates. Since it doesn't serve anything, the old code can be updated to use the newer category Category:CS1 errors: deprecated parameters. Gonnym (talk) 11:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonnym, can you empty that category? I couldn't figure out how to. Qwerfjkltalk 17:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll go over them now. There might be a few that are admin protected so I'll post here if any are. Gonnym (talk) 17:31, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Think I got all instances. Gonnym (talk) 18:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category seems to outlived its purpose. Categories are typically now created using the template's name as seen in Category:Unknown parameters and Category:Deprecated parameters. Gonnym (talk) 11:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Australian plays performed on Broadway

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 17:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 9#Category:Australian plays performed in Britain, it's always possible for any play from anywhere in the world to be performed anywhere else in the world at any time, so plays are not defined by the matter of whether they've been performed outside their home country or not. With almost 200 countries in the world, this would lead to extreme category bloat, requiring the creation of between 30 and 40 thousand categories for every possible combination of native country and performed-in country, which is not sustainable or maintainable at all.

Category:Buildings and structures in Fredericia

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. Already in targets. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for a municipality not large enough to warrant its own dedicated "buildings and structures" category. As always, this would be fine if there were several buildings and structures in this municipality with articles to file here, but it does not aid navigation of the wikipedia to have a dedicated category for just one building.
