Nominator's rationale: Content fits into the "works by filmmaker" category scheme (along the same lines as Category:Works by Steven Spielberg among others). Current categorization will have to be updated if changed. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I am suggesting deletion of this category per WP:OCEPON. This eponymous category contains only the main article and two image files. If kept, it should be moved to Category:Henry Pering Pellew Crease per C2D. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:50, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 03:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename to clarify that this is not about the Duchy of Prussia, per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_4#Category:Prussian_people_by_occupation. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This tree contains just one redirect. Not necessary. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cometary object articles[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) HouseBlastertalk 02:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This maintenance category was created by Rfassbind with the intent that the objects would be added via the {{Comets}} navbox. Woodensuperman claims that "it's fairly obvious common sense that populating categories is not the function of a navbox" [1] (although there is no specific claim in WP:TEMPLATECAT). If this is the case and the template isn't used to populate the category, then this category has no reason to exist. C messier (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:37, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Repeated recreation of a non-notable topic, as proven from this Google search, this one, and this one (Further evidence of this at the article logs). Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1995–96 in Yugoslav basketball[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. Two-digit years are permissible for consecutive years (see MOS:DATERANGE) and widely used in the parent hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 13:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: So Category:Seasons in Yugoslav basketball currently covers two separate countries and ignores the breakup of Yugoslavia, which is just weird. The main article space about the same topic do not do so, all the basketball articles about the post-'91 events clearly describe what happened instead.
This change would be analogous to the changes we made in year and football categories. It would also allow for categorizing 1992-2002 together with the 2003-2006 period of Serbia and Montenegro, because those are a coherent topic throughout this time period (1992-2006).

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Albums produced by Aone Beats. No opposition for 3+ weeks. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Same person under two different names. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 13:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bridges and flyovers in Dhaka[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 to Category:Bridges in Dhaka. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Although several of the entries in this category are indeed flyovers, it's worth noting a couple of things. First, flyover is a disambiguation page, with the main topic shown listing a flyover as "a high-level road bridge" (the actual article is at overpass) - so all flyovers would count as bridges anyway. Second, every other bridge-by-city category is at Category:Bridges in Foo, as are all bridge-by-country categories (including this one's parent, Category:Bridges in Bangladesh). There's no apparent reason for this one to be any different. Grutness...wha? 12:21, 21 November 2023 (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: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Recreated by blocked, disruptive user. Previous deletion discussion result was delete. Things haven't changed, most of these characters are not defined by fighting with a shield. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:41, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Mason (talk) 00:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - there are definitely characters who are defined by fighting with a shield, namely Captain America, Steven Universe (character), and Naofumi Iwatani. It definitely has enough entries that are WP:DEFINING to not be considered too small. (Oinkers42) (talk) 01:34, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Oinkers42's argument. Dimadick (talk) 18:51, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:20, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose per Oinkers42. there are definitely at least five characters in here who fit, though perhaps a purge of those who use both a shield and sword would make sense since the sword would be the primary weapon there. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 13:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT by gender and sexual orientation[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 and reparent as per 96z's suggestion. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:23, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete and re-parent, apart from gay men and lesbians it is a trivial intersection. The proposal will result in gay men and lesbians directly under Category:LGBT people by sexual orientation as can be expected. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:26, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah ok, a merge instead of deletion, that is ok for now. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People of Visigothic descent[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: Option A (delete 'em all). (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 02:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Option A
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, hardly any of the articles mentions Visigothic descent. For background: the Visigothic Kingdom ended in 711 and by then the Visigoths were largely assimilated in the original "Romans" of Spain and southern France. Some noble families were still known to be Visigothic and it is their (claimed) descendants who are in these categories.
Option B
Nominator's rationale: if not deleted, then merge to the parent category, we normally do not diffuse descent categories by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Option A. Per WP:COP-HERITAGE, descent is not notable beyond grandchildren. Place Clichy (talk) 03:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Support either. Lean Option B because people might still be described/defined as Visigothic, even if technically they aren't. Mason (talk) 04:53, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
