The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I think this category page should be deleted because:

1) Though it was created 17 years ago, it has never had more than one entry.

2) The one entry it has, V838 Monocerotis, is generally believed to be a luminous red nova, and not some mysterious unclassifiable object.

3) The name is rather vague. PopePompus (talk) 22:02, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING intersection. Category:Vegan sportspeople was deleted a few months ago. V27t (talk) 16:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Disagree with Nominator. Numbers of athletes have credited their athletic performance to the fact that they follow a plant-based diet, others have publicly declared to be on a vegan diet for health or ethical reasons, whatever the rationale once they publicly define themselves as vegan, it is a characteristic commonly mentioned in sources. Athletes such as Lewis Hamilton, Tia Blanco, Alex Morgan, Nick Kyrgios Chris Smalling, Carl Lewis or Chris Paul to name a few have declared themselves to be vegan or to follow a plant-based diet. A search for "vegan Athletes" returns 113,000 results, “Carl Lewis vegan” returns 46,800 results “ Lewis Hamilton Vegan” 8,440 results while a search for "Chris Paul Vegan" and "Chris Smalling Vegan" returns results such as: "How Going Vegan has Benefitted NBA Star Chris Paul” and " Football Going Vegan: Chris Smalling explains why he turned to plant-based diet". The level of interest clearly shows how the two intersect, there would be no way to find them without those articles being categorized.

  • For example this source mentions nothing about veganism. And even if it would, it would merely be mentioned as a trivialty. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I had no idea that every source had to mention it but I guess it makes sense, thank you @Marcocapelle. All my best Lewolka (talk) 20:55, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Only one article. Merge to Category:Sports competitions in Iran is not necessary as the lone article is in that scope already. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tribes[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 21:44, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are three federally recognized tribes each for the Cherokee, the Seminole, the Kickapoo, and the Shawnee; the Blackfoot are divided into one federally recognized tribe in the US and three First Nations bands in Canada; the Wampanoag consist of two federally recognized tribes. A category referring to a singular Cherokee, Seminole, Kickapoo, Wampanoag, or Blackfoot tribe causes confusion. Pinging editors: @User:Yuchitown, @User:Indigenous girl, @User:CorbieVreccan, @User:Vizjim, @User:Uyvsdi, and @User:TulsaPoliticsFan. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. These are broad, overarching categories that cover culture, history, individuals, etc., so dropping "tribe" makes sense—for accuracy and to avoid confusion. Yuchitown (talk) 15:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]
  • Support for the same reason as stated by Yuchitown above. --Dan Carkner (talk) 15:18, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
