Category:Fictional characters in the DC Universe (franchise)

Nominator's rationale: Misleading category and WP:Overcategorization. The cat creator has made similar cats like this, so nominating in accordance with the consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 August 19#Category:Characters adapted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This cat is being placed on the articles for the comic book characters because they appear or will appear in the DC Universe (franchise), but there are no articles for the characters from that franchise adaptation specifically. The category creator has previously been warned about making these cats and has clearly ignored that. Should any DCU adaptation character receive a separate article, Category:DC Universe (franchise) characters already exists. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 23:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Information ministers of Zambia. – Fayenatic London 17:06, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This ministry changed its name after the 2021 election. Since this is a ministry that may change its name each time we elect a new leader, I believe it should have a general name, just like Category:Transport ministers of Zambia and Category:Energy ministers of Zambia.

Nominator's rationale: They are not rural settlements. Moreover, Ukrainian law does not recognize "towns" as a specific type of populated place. Hassan697 (talk) 18:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Two people-from categories, newly created with the same single person duplicate-categorized in both of them simultaneously even though the second is already a subcategory of the first. As always, a place does not automatically get one of these just for one person -- it would be fine if there were numerous people from there to file in the category, but it doesn't aid navigation to obsessively microcategorize everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one thing. So I'd be happy to withdraw this if somebody with more knowledge of Indonesia than I've got can find several other people to file here, but they're not needed just for one person.

Nominator's rationale: Accidental misfile at DRV by IP 2600 who said Hayley Sings is her only album she's made and she hasn't done another album 13 years since. Refiling on their behalf, no opinion on merit. Star Mississippi 14:18, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Indexes (publishing). (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 15:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename to better describe the actual scope; Index is a dab page. Then create a disambiguation page at Category:Indexes and move articles actually about Index (statistics) to Category:Index numbers (currently up for speedy renaming) instead. This is currently contributing to several loops at User:SDZeroBot/Category cycles/6 * Pppery * it has begun... 05:21, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Vague, and possibly undefining SMasonGarrison 04:38, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can you be more specific? At first glance, I have the opposite impression that the category allows you to take into account elements present in the article, which makes its referencing more precise. - OtharLuin (talk) 13:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:40, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale Misbegotten tree, forming unavoidable category loops of the form "Africa -> Foreign relations of Africa -> Africa and other continents -> Afro-Asia -> Africa". More generally these are too loosely related and/or contain too little content to support a category, and invert the standard categorization logic by making broad topics subcats of narrower ones. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:32, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This seems, generally speaking, to be the right way to make such categories. It is similar to the logic behind categories for relations between countries i.e. (skipping a few intermediate steps) "Country A -> Foreign relations of Country A -> Bilateral relations of Country A -> Country A–Country B relations". In the cases where there is a category loop or too little content, it may be possible to fix those through editing rather than deletion. GreekApple123 (talk) 13:05, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, "Eurasia" is a thing, but other than that the categories mainly contains relations between countries. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There are many forums of international relations between countries and peoples located on various continents. However, organizing them by continent is only one out of many ways to describe and/or sort these relations, and a rather arbitray one. Place Clichy (talk) 11:24, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
