Nominator's rationale: Textbook case of WP:NONDEFINING. We don't even do this for the top positions of top journals (e.g. EiCs of Nature/Science/etc...). Low-level positions of standard journals don't need a category. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:30, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Headbomb Actually, we very much do do that for EICs of top academic journals (indeed for all notable journals: category:Academic journal editors). IntoThinAir (talk) 13:10, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We classify them as EiCs, not EiCs of <insert journal> Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:13, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy close, making way for a speedy rename request of the entire tree at CFDS. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:39, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: procedural nomination: opposed at speedy, but the proposal also gained quite some support. As the nominator, I do not have a specific opinion. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
speedy discussion
  • I dont think anyone in England (Maybe UK?) would call them Transportation network companies, but I'm not sure that there is a better option. Each of the articles describes its subject differently. Rathfelder (talk) 11:27, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Renaming the whole tree seems like a good way forward. Rathfelder (talk) 12:08, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, I would support doing Ridesharing companies ArmosNights (talk) 16:44, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep for now. MER-C 03:24, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: None of these figures are independently notable or warrant an article, except for the possibility of Aragorn. The category therefore is no longer required, and can be converted into a list on the appropriate LOTR main page. Michepman (talk) 02:30, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, this venue is not for discussing the notability of articles, see WP:AFD for that. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:03, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - as Marcocapelle says, the nom is premature. In any case, being a king of somewhere is defining (regardless of how many other kings there were). Oculi (talk) 10:03, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The nomination is based on Michepman's ideas on notability, and not on Wikipedia policy. Dimadick (talk) 12:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
