Nominator's rationale: Subjective category, can easily argue that every single starting quarterback in the NFL is a running threat. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:29, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The story of American football, i.e. The National Football League is one built on evolution. There was a time when the forward pass was not even a part of the game; today it is the cornerstone of every NFL offense. The old term "end" now refers to either a tight end(Category:American football tight ends) or wide receiver(Category:American football wide receivers). Defensive linemen are now defensive tackles or defensive ends, linebackers are middle(Category:American football middle linebackers) or outside linebackers(Category:American football outside linebackers), each with a Wikipedia category of their own. The evolution has continued with more NFL teams looking for that quarterback who is a threat to pass or run.[1][2] Even college football programs are looking at high school players as to whether or not they can pose a dual-threat to opposing defenses. Rivals.com, one of the most prominent sites that rate high school athletes has a separate category for the dual threat quarterback.[3] While I agree with User:Eagles247 that the term dual-threat quarterback can be subjective, I strongly disagree that one can easily argue that every single starting quarterback in the NFL is a dual threat. Read the article "Dual-threat quarterback" and you'll find fewer than two dozen quarterbacks mentioned; and those that are considered dual-threats are supported by objective data (rushing yards, touchdowns, passer ratings etc.) that support the designation. An internet search of the term "dual-threat quarterback" turns up dozens of articles from pro football related cites[4][5][6][7][8][9] showing the growing trend in American football of interest in and the evolution towards the dual threat quarterback. Therefore providing a separate category for the dual threat quarterback will enable users to browse sets of related sports pages and probably long overdue. «Marylandstater» «reply» 06:35, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tom Brady led the Patriots in rushing for a game in 2015. Does that make him a dual-threat QB? Categories are not meant to be subjective, and there is no clear definition of a "dual-threat quarterback". Eagles 24/7 (C) 17:19, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Lol! I don't think anyone would ever accuse Tom Brady of being a dual-threat quarterback. But as for a clear definition check out the article: "Dual-threat quarterback". «Marylandstater» «reply» 18:43, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • The article says a dual-threat quarterback is one "who possesses the skills and physique to run with the ball if necessary". Possessing better skills than other people who play the same position is not something that can be defined in an encyclopedic setting. You admitted this category is subjective, so it fails WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:58, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Transgender non-binary people[edit]

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: keep. MER-C 03:25, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Doesn't seem to be any difference between these two categories. Vaporgaze (talk) 09:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's untrue. Intersex people can also be non-binary but are not Transgender, therefore Category:Transgender non-binary people and Category:Intersex non-binary people are child categories of Category:People with non-binary gender identities.★Trekker (talk) 10:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose renaming per User:*Treker. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question, many articles in the nominated category only mention non-binary but not transgender, should these articles be moved manually? Marcocapelle (talk) 21:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • People who are not intersex but binary are by definition transgender. They identify with a gender which they were not assigned with or their body does not automatically reflect.★Trekker (talk) 22:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • They might also identify as agender or genderfluid rather than as transgender. Though it is not clear if that applies to any of the biographies in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:00, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • While it is technically possible for someone to identify as non-binary but specifically not transgender those people seem to make up a small minority and I tried to make sure when adding that I could find reference to them being part of the trans community, (there are a few people left in the main category whom I could not be sure about).★Trekker (talk) 09:28, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fisheries[edit]

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: split selectively to Category:Fishing. MER-C 03:26, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The contents of the category are currently a mixture of individual fisheries (set category) and fishery-related concepts (topic category). The topic category part should be split into Category:Fishery, and Category:Fisheries should only contain entities of named fisheries. I'm not sure, though, what the difference would be between Category:Fishery and Category:Fishing, so an alternative suggestion would be to selectively upmerge the topic content to Category:Fishing.

Category:Planned Economies[edit]

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: no consensus. MER-C 03:23, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only has two members, North Korea and Soviet Union, and the Planned economy article says that there is dispute whether the Soviet economy was planned or command. If kept it will need a C2A rename to Category:Planned economies. Le Deluge (talk) 14:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep So add the missing countries - most of the WarPacs, for starters. Also, why is a command economy not also a planned economy? (it's a subset, not disjoint). The lead article is pretty poor, with much of it unsourced and a bias to it overall that's very American (an inability to tell socialism from communism, for one). Andy Dingley (talk) 14:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:SMALLCAT, it should only contain articles about the economy of countries that never had a non-communist regime. For example Economy of Poland does not qualify for the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:46, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • So what about countries which did have a centrally planned economy for decades? We might well split such a country's economic history across two articles (and Poland would be a good example), but if the article is covering that planned period, it should be categorised as such. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:42, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not against splitting the article, but if it is not split then Economy of Poland really does not belong here because the article is almost exclusively about the current economy. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Keep and populate - Command economies is a redirect to the main article here, but there should be scope for adding articles on the economy of Cuba and of Walsall Pact countries until 1989. Category:Command economies might be a better name, but this would require the main article to be renamed. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:46, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article in it. There is no need for a dual merge, the article is already in Category:Bridges in Kharkiv. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:08, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
