November 14[edit]

Category:Metropolitans of Skopje[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; contents were merged to parent categories. Category:Serbian Orthodox metropolitans of Skopje was the only content of the category. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary intermediate category. All the Metropolitans of Skopje seem to be Eastern Orthodox. (NB this is not something I know anything about, so I stand to be corrected) Rathfelder (talk) 23:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pollinator birds[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Being a pollinator is one way in which some animals (e.g. Calliope hummingbird, Megabat, Western pine elfin) affect their environment (and where they have an important role this should be mentioned in article text), but in many cases it's probably not a defining characteristic and it doesn't work well for categorization e.g. because we don't categorize animals for being non-pollinators. 
These categories only contain a tiny fraction of the articles about pollinators - e.g. most of the bee spieces mentioned in List of crop plants pollinated by bees aren't in these categories (and in many cases the article doesn't mention pollination). Note: The creator of these categories was later blocked for category disruption / socking. DexDor (talk) 20:41, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Transport in the Mediterranean[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. The merger proposal should be considered in another nomination. MER-C 10:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Clarity that this is about the sea rather than about the larger Med region. Consistency with e.g. Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in the Mediterranean Sea and Category:Aviation in the Pacific Ocean. DexDor (talk) 16:41, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 10:52, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEPON and WP:SHAREDNAME. Apart from Telford Medal the articles are just about things named after Thomas Telford and the articles Thomas Telford and Telford Medal already link to each other directly. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:15, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Television shows featuring anthropomorphic characters[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 July 28#Category:Anthropomorphism by media, where the parent Category:Television shows featuring anthropomorphic characters was deleted as non-defining, along with its siblings for other media. I believe that the member pages are in suitable parallel hierarchies, so no merge is needed. Note: Category:Television series about animals and its sub-cats will remain. – Fayenatic London 11:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:17, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: User categories describing membership in an obsolete program. While they likely were useful when the program was still functioning, they aren't now. Category:Campus Ambassador - UK holding and Wikipedia:WikiProject Academical Village/Online Ambassador Selection Process should be moved up to Category:Wikipedia Ambassador Program if their parent categories are deleted. All other non-user pages are already in that category. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:46, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:19, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT (created by blocked account). Games are already in Category:Cancelled video games so no need for dual merge. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:19, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Knights of Grace of the Order of Saint Stephen[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. MER-C 10:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
The Order of Saint Stephen is a dynastic order from Tuscany, whose royal family was closely related wth the Hapsburgs in Austria. The exact nature of why the order gives this award is obscure but 10 of the 13 articles are already in Category:Austrian princes. Two of the articles mention the award in passing (1, 2) and the rest don't mention it at all so it doesn't seem remotely defining. There wasn't a list so I created one here in the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kennedy scholars[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. MER-C 10:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
After the assasination of John F. Kennedy, the Kennedy Scholarship was established to send British students to Harvard or MIT, both of which are near the president's home town. Within the articles, the award doesn't seem defining and usually gets a passing reference in the education section. These people are already grouped under either the Harvard or MIT alumni category and the contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background We previously deleted other categories for college scholarship recipients here, here, here, here and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. (If kept, rename somehow. The current title suggests historians specialized in Kennedy.) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete /listify per nom. --Just N. (talk) 13:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
