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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE. All of the articles are already in the appropriate subcategories so merging is not necessary. User:Namiba 18:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OCVENUE does not make an exception for the amount of coverage. This information is better presented as prose in the articles about the stadiums and the team. Carguychris (talk) 14:00, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no parent category for Selebi-Phikwe, so this is not a useful subcat of the district parent. – Fayenatic London 14:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Elk and red deer

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This conflates two Cervus species. Splitting them as suggested at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_October_9#Category:Elk_and_red_deer could be confusing, as sub-species Kansu red deer and Tibetan red deer are Cervus canadensis (elk) rather than Cervus elaphus (red deer). Central Asian red deer may also be a separate species (its 3 subspecies also have articles), but there does not seem to be scientific consensus on that yet. Upmerging as suggested by the previous CFD closer Debresser may be best. – Fayenatic London 11:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Prohibition-era gangsters

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 into Category:American gangsters of the interwar period. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These are really overlapping categories. Does anyone have ideas for how to make these two categories more distinct, or perhaps combine them? For the record. Prohibition in the united states was from Jan 17, 1920 – Dec 5, 1933, whereas the great depression was from 1929 to 1939ish. Mason (talk) 02:04, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
comment Merging in this way does not seem to be the answer, as it is not true that all Category:Depression-era gangsters also were active in the Depression era. Perhaps, someone can make a count of the actual overlap of articles, not just the time period overlaps. thanks Hmains (talk) 02:27, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will tag Category:Depression-era gangsters. Consensus seems to favor merging that and Category:Prohibition-era gangsters into a new category; what should that category be called?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't hate Category:American gangsters of the interwar period. And think it does a good job of covering the defining features. I think we'll need a category description to help contextualize the category. Mason (talk) 19:47, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters who can manipulate reality

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Way too vague of a category. I can manipulate reality just by picking up a piece of paper, since the paper is part of reality and I'm changing it. I suggest upmerging its more specific subcategories, however, this deletion does not imply deleting those too. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree on the category's vagueness. When deleted, then at least the subcategories should be moved to Category:Fictional superhumans by ability. Not sure what to do with the articles though. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They should likely just be removed from the category if it's deleted. In a lot of cases they may or may not belong in it anyway. For example, Elizabeth from Bioshock - does she "change" reality or just teleport objects from other realities? Such powers are hard to quantify, and can just lead to misinforming readers if people attempt to do so. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:51, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This sounds like it's meant to be for characters covered by TV Tropes' "Reality Warper" item, but the description is incredibly vague and full of technobabble:
    This category is for listing of fictional characters with abilities related to reality manipulation. These powers may be manifested by various methods, including, but not limited to: by some method of molecular control; by access to, or partially or fully shifting to another dimension; by manipulating the geometry of time or space; or by some other unnamed method.
