The result of the discussion was: merge both. bibliomaniac15 04:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The team has played in the top tier division which had changed names but they have been the same team in their history per article content. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The stations were sold to Gray Television this week. The local media division no longer exists as the company merged with Dotdash to become entirely a publishing company. CrazyC83 (talk) 21:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rust shooting incident

[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: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by association. The six articles filed here comprise the article about the incident, the head article about the film, the town where the incident took place, and three biographies of people: the two obvious Just You Guess Whos, and the film's director.
The problem is that this isn't a defining characteristic of Alec Baldwin, Joel Souza or Bonanza City (and it's at best debatable whether it's even defining of Halyna Hutchins), and if those were removed it would just be a two or three item WP:SMALLCAT. (Possibly even smaller than that, because the film may never actually be completed for the purposes of passing WP:NFILM, and thus may not actually need its own standalone article as a separate topic from the incident article anymore either.)
The category system is not just a tool to start a category for just every individual thing that ever happens and then "bundle" every article that's remotely related to it -- we categorize on the defining characteristics of a topic, not on every individual thing that happens to or at it. Bearcat (talk) 18:36, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Related to" is not the basis for a category. "Defined by" is. Bearcat (talk) 03:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago Red Stars

[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: merge both. bibliomaniac15 04:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Both categories refer to Chicago Red Stars. It is not common practice to separate footballers/soccer players by the leagues they were playing in at the time. Therefore, Category:Chicago Red Stars (NWSL) players and Category:Chicago Red Stars (WPS) players should both be merged into Category:Chicago Red Stars players- this is consistent with Chicago Red Stars, which is one article for the team that has featured in both the Women's Professional Soccer and National Women's Soccer League Joseph2302 (talk) 11:14, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge both (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: There is only 1 article, as far as I can see, about a reggae trombonist. Rathfelder (talk) 19:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Question: Are you proposing Category:Jamaican reggae trombonists for deletion as well? ~~~~

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
The second category was not tagged yet. I have done that now. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC) [reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete: G1 (patent nonsense), G5 (created by blocked user) Grutness...wha? 23:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: It seems like this category's title is vague and should specify if it is for the United States or all countries. But I'm asking for deletion as I can't see this as a potential new branch in our coverage of roads and highways. Liz Read! Talk! 02:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
