The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Tamil Nadu stubs and Category:Asian bridge (structure) stubs. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:45, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not enough transclusions to warrant a stub category, which in this case, doesn't even have its own template and is not even affiliated with WikiProject Stub Sorting... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 18:52, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam provincal merger

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 as nominated. (non-admin closure) SMasonGarrison 18:12, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: After the Vietnam's Provincial Merger 2025 came to effect on 1 July 2025, Vietnam reduced its number of provinces and cities into 34. The Wikipedia categories need to follow the new provincial administrative units after merger. I propose merge all these categories and their subcategories to their new corresponding categories and subcategories.– Lâm 16:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, it is unclear how the subcategories represent "expansion" per se. They contribute to the status quo at the time, but that is all to it. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:12, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Postage stamps featuring people , etc. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:34, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories contain primarily articles on stamps, not articles on people. This reinstates the consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 February 12#Category:People on postage stamps, which was undone by Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_21#"(Artworks/Art)_depicting_(subject)" without sufficient consideration. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:47, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I think 51 articles is enough for a separate category. In addition, the parent category has 899 pages, which is overloaded - Petscan says there's no overlap between the two, so merging this in would bring the parent category to a whopping 950 pages - too many. – numbermaniac 07:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:21, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is a mixture of two completely different entities. One is something that is not a inhabited settlement anymore, sometimes actually ruins. The other is something that used to be a city, but has now been downgraded to a village or hamlet. For the former, we already have a meta Category:Ghost towns by country. The second category can be linked to ru:Категория:Населённые пункты России, утратившие статус города - it has a lot of content, as this is quite a common case in the USSR and Russia.

Nominator's rationale: This category and all its subcategories would seem to violate WP:OCEGRS as I am not sure pansexuality is defining as it relates to occupations. I would suggest an upmerge if necessary to the parent category or its subcategories. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:26, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Much of the discussion is moving towards the merits of the subcategories contained within this one, indicating that there's probably a more systemic reworking of the tree that has to be done. Not really seeing a strong consensus about what to do about this specific category, so I'm going to close this discussion for now. bibliomaniac15 18:19, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Thoughts on jc37's proposal?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:24, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are also lovers of mythological characters, and songs about former lovers. "Extramarital" will work, though is probably a bit of overkill, "of royalty" certainly does not work. Honestly I do not have a problem with "Lovers" as is. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:10, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    "Lovers" is all inclusive of anyone who loves. We have context of [sexual] lovers only from looking at the category members.
    I think this should be split at best. And the myth and legend ones give no context. We presume that "lovers" are extra-marital relationships, but that presumes they all cultures defined marital relationships in the same way, or even had them at all. This begs explanation at best (hence lists), but I think Category:Extramarital lovers of heads of state is a possible target for some of these cats/subcats. It at least gives us more specificity.
    That said, I don't oppose WP:TNT/Deleting all the "lovers" cats, as vague in definition and inclusion criteria. - jc37 21:09, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is a container category, so it is not a problem that context comes only from looking at the category members. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:40, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps, but even for a container, that's an awfully vague term, especially when other, more precise terms are possible.
    To fit in the existing trees better, I'd be fine with merging to Category:Extramarital relationships of heads of state, and purge/re-cat as appropriate. - jc37 02:22, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd be against that, because then we unnecessarily lose legendary and mythological lovers (and not sure how this would relate to Category:Mistresses which does not limit itself to heads of state either.) Marcocapelle (talk) 04:28, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe I'm using an incorrect term? I'm looking at Category:Mistresses, and all the subcats, at least, seem to be about heads of state.
    And I think splitting out the myth/legend ones from the rest is a feature not a bug. Do we categorise pages of the Greek gods (for example) in other subcats of Category:People by role? - jc37 04:40, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Better check the articles that are directly in Category:Mistresses because they are exactly the ones that do not belong in a heads of state subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, so when I did, I found mainly 3 types: a.) those having extramarital affairs with people "related" with state (heads of state, lords, ministers, and the like) - see also Favourite; b.) courtesans; and c.) people who had extramarital affairs. The three types probably should not be categorised together. All we're doing is categorising together people who had sex, who were notable enough to have sex. And in some cases, not necessarily that they had sex with other notable people (though some did).
    Which brings me back to thinking that this is a (potentially) all-inclusive category. The only ones who wouldn't be added here are those people who have not had sex.
    I'm not opposed to a split (and/or upmerge) of some kind, with better/more accurate naming.
    For one thing, there's no article for Male lovers. And Mistress (lover) suggests that this includes anyone who is engaging in Adultery. We probably should have a more netral term for both so that Category:Male lovers (and subcats) can be merged with Category:Mistresses. And the inclusion criteria should make it clear that these are for people who had an extramarital relationship with a public figure. - jc37 20:47, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose merge. Category:Lovers is a sibling to Category:Spouses within Category:Romantic and sexual partners. No objection to adding "extramarital" for clarity, although I think the meaning is sufficiently well understood without that and can be stated on the category pages. – Fayenatic London 17:01, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Category:Spouses seems to be (mostly) a tree of container cats to hold those who had multiple wives or husbands (and also includes the complication of consorts, like Category:Consorts of Vajiralongkorn). Category:Lovers doesn't appear to be limited in that way. - jc37 20:47, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This would seem to violate WP:NONDEF. If it's on a console, it can also be listed in the relevant console category. But the fact that it was ported to consoles is rarely something massively important. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:31, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
