Category:Crips in (wake forest) - meaningless category by new user - Arjayay (talk) 16:44, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete per G1 and G10, history shows content about a gang with negative content about a probable BLP. Another category created by the same user has been CSD tagged for similar reasons. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:02, 11 April 2022 (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: procedural close, the category no longer exists (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 22:34, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only entry is a sub-category concerning Aleksej Pechkuroy‎, who seemingly doesn't even have an article. Kj cheetham (talk) 15:25, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, these (with the one below) are two categories that contain no articles and only link to each other as both parent and child category. In terms of categorization logic it is close to WP:G1. I have tagged the category page just today. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete obvious creation by a Alex9777777 sock. PohranicniStraze (talk) 20:37, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Academy Awards winners and nominees[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. Also, move the three subcategories of lists into Category:Lists of Academy Award winners and move Category:Academy Award winners up into Category:Academy Awards. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:28, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete or purge this of bios - lot of issues here -

1. We already have Category:Academy Award winners, which essentially makes this an "Academy Award nominees" category, implying those who did not win. However, there are also people like Scott Conrad, who won their lone Oscar nomination, in this category. This means that theoretically, *everyone* who's ever been nominated for an Oscar could be in here, which would just be a bloated unusable beast of a category that wouldn't serve any real purpose

2. In general, being an award nominee has not been considered defining enough to warrant categories. A whole host of "nominees" categories were deleted this time two years ago. It's also something WP:CANDIDATECAT advises against.

3. If someone is included in this category, it's not immediately clear as to why, given the multiple possibilities offered by the title. Are they there because they won an Academy Award? Then why not the specific "Academy Award for Foo" category? Were they just nominated? Then why does the category have winners in it at all when there are already winners categories? Per WP:OVERLAPCAT, there'd be no reason to include someone in here if they're also in the "Academy Award for Foo winners" category (which are technically subcategories of this one).

My guess is that this category was created to house the list articles you see here/here, and then got out of hand when people start adding biographies to it. Maybe in its intended form, this would be fine. But, as it currently stands, there's no way this category cuts the mustard. Nohomersryan (talk) 06:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:9th-century Frankish bishops[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: rename and merge as nominated. – Fayenatic London 13:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per parent Category:People of the Carolingian Empire. By the 9th century the term "Frankish" is outdated, we do not have a Category:9th-century Franks. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, by the 10th century the term "Frankish" is outdated, we do not have a Category:10th-century Franks. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:55, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of these I am quite happy with this. Rathfelder (talk) 07:45, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American award winners[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: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:03, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is for winners of American awards (not American winners of awards). Also, "Fooian award winners" is used in Category:Award winners by nationality for each nationality (except the US). 1857a (talk) 11:52, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 05:11, 10 April 2022 (UTC) [reply]
  • Support but the Rhodes Scholarships are awards to Americans, not American awards. This is an outlier, being a scholarship for new graduates. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Aside from a few oddballs, e.g. Hans Bauer and Georg Betz, aren't they the same thing? Clarityfiend (talk) 02:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw nomination. On second thought, the Luftwaffe preceded World War II and fought in the Spanish Civil War. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:53, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
