The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: No evidence that the club is notable. Plays in the fourth tier of Austrian football. Played in the second tier for a short period of time in the 1990s. There is no article. Geregen2 (talk) 20:20, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The club does not exist. This category was created based on the misspelling of "SC Ortmann" on the page of Norbert Kerényi. Even if it was spelled correctly, there is no evidence that SC Ortmann is notable either, the club plays in the fourth tier of Austrian football. Geregen2 (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:34, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: merge as all have 1-2 articles. Not all merge targets are needed since the articles are in deeper levels of parent cats. Delete decade categories as they will be effectively emptied and still don't have enough to populate. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:11, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:33, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This contains a mixture of subpages of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Newsletter (a category for them is unnecessary since there's already a list at the base page), and user talk pages containing such newsletters (which fails WP:USERCAT for lacking any discernible collaborative function). * Pppery * it has begun... 16:30, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:WikiProject Music genres. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Pointless category layer - the contents are Category:WikiProject Punk music, which should be moved into the appropriate topical WikiProject categories, Category:WikiProject Punk music members, which should be moved into the above category, and a user talk page of someone who hasn't edited since 2020. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:23, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Merge to Category:WikiProject Music genres per rationale of nom. I have made Category:WikiProject Punk music members a subcategory of Category:WikiProject Punk music, that should happen regardless of the outcome of this discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Obsolete for ~15 years. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:20, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete, see Wikipedia:AOL (historical page). Marcocapelle (talk) 16:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete IP addresses get reallocated over the years, and this was a long time ago. All this will remain in the article history, so if anyone ever really needs to find this historical information, no need to keep the tag in current revisions any more. — The Anome (talk) 23:08, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale These are so poorly-populated (never got off the ground) that it's unclear what they are intended to be. If they are intended to be user categories (users have earned the badge in question), then they fail WP:USERCAT for lacking any discernible collaborative function. If they are intended to be project categories (project pages about the badge), then they are WP:SMALLCATS and all relevant pages are already in the parent so there's no need for a merge. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:37, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Category:Living dinosaurs

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, rename to Category:Fiction about modern-day dinosaurs, and rename respectively, the 2nd per WP:BARTENDER. (non-admin closure) CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 20:25, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Living dinosaur is currently a disambiguation page. The topic is too vague. I propose deletion of this category and renaming of Category:Living dinosaurs in fiction to Category:Fiction about human-dinosaur coexistence. Category:Dinosaur hunting can become a subcategory of it, but renamed to clarify it's not about real-life fossil hunting. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:59, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
If Category:Dinosaur hunting is renamed to Category:Fiction about dinosaur hunting, then we should remove Category:Bird hunting from it. Apokrif (talk) 08:06, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree. While birds are technically dinosaurs, almost no modern person would refer to a bird as a dinosaur, as it is almost always used to describe the ancient creatures, so one should really not be a subcategory of the other. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Per MOS:ENDASH, the second entry should be Category:Fiction about human–dinosaur coexistence if the rename is otherwise accepted. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:14, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
@LaundryPizza03: Then you may want to also move Human-dinosaur coexistence. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:50, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 Done –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Your statement is akin to saying that "humans should not be a subcategory of primates" because they are not usually referred to in society as great apes. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and if the nominator realized that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia they'd pull this nomination. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose renaming, the category "Living dinosaurs" is valid, accurate, and encyclopedic. Keeping it counters the bias - as shown above - against the fact of birds being dinosaurs. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Randy Kryn: I am simply making it match up with the article, human-dinosaur coexistence, which the category is clearly about - not the idea of birds being living dinosaurs. The article dinosaur does not go to a disambiguation page between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds, showing that the term is far less commonly used to describe birds. You may believe it should be used otherwise, but Wikipedia is not where to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS, you would have to convince the public. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:53, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    Perhaps Human–dinosaur coexistence should be renamed to Human–non-avian-dinosaur coexistence (see this article's lead). Apokrif (talk) 12:15, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete Category:Living dinosaurs as the only contents it contains other than the subcategories discussed above is Mokele-mbembe, which I would not call living (it's a cryptid). Merge Category:Living dinosaurs in fiction to Category:Fiction about dinosaurs, since they seem to cover the same scope (is there a nontrivial amount of fiction about dead dinosaurs, or that doesn't involve humans?). Rename Category:Dinosaur hunting per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 12:48, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Pppery: As said above, the category "Living dinosaurs in fiction" is ACTUALLY about humans existing alongside dinosaurs, i.e. dinosaurs "living" in the present day. It would be fine to keep under the more descriptive name, which would also include any instances of humans living alongside dinosaurs, a notable trope in fiction. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:22, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    Yes, but it looks to me like the entries directly in Category:Fiction about dinosaurs (the merge target I intended to specify) are about that too, so there's no distinction. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Pppery: Fiction about dinosaurs can include fiction that takes place in the dinosaur era, or in worlds populated only by dinosaurs. It doesn't necessarily include humans in the story at all, or at least humans and dinosaurs side by side in the same setting. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    Can you point to example of such a work of fiction? * Pppery * it has begun... 16:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    The Land Before Time franchise "features dinosaurs living in prehistoric times". I would also separate fiction where humans merely time travel to, or otherwise simply encounter dinosaurs, i.e. 65 (film), as not an example of human and dinosaur coexistence. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:13, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    OK. That makes sense. I guess there's really three different concepts: "Fiction about anthropomorphic dinosaurs", "Fiction about dinosaurs and time travel", and "fiction about human-dinosaur coexistence". It was not easy to see those concepts because of the incomplete diffusion and the fact that the third entry is more common than the other two, but they appear to be distinct enough to warrant separate categories. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Delete Category:Living dinosaurs per Pppery, rename Category:Dinosaur hunting to Category:Fiction about dinosaur hunting per nom. If Category:Living dinosaurs in fiction would be renamed to Category:Fiction about human-dinosaur coexistence it would (still) not clearly distinguish itself from Category:Fiction about dinosaurs. So either merge, or rename to e.g. Category:Dinosaurs in fiction set in the modern era. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    I think zxcvbnm's examples above prove their is a separate concept here, but we're just not doing a good job describing it. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment, the moves do not fit encyclopedic use of the term dinosaur and the articles mentioned are not about fiction. At present, birds are listed as "Living dinosaurs" and bird hunting is included in dinosaur hunting. The category "Living dinosaurs" appears as a subsection of the category "Dinosaur". Birds perfectly fit the category name, they are the first item listed at the disamb page Living dinosaurs, and there is nothing broken here. The nominator seems to have confused other editors that the pages mentioned are only about fiction. Hopefully the closer will not be a drive-by closer but will actually study this discussion and the pages mentioned and, if so, will find that the category "Living dinosaur" should stay as is and includes other than fiction. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:54, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
  • The only content that would fit "living dinosaurs" literally is Category:Birds but we do not need two categories for that, Category:Birds in itself is sufficient. Modern-day birds are completely unrelated to fiction about prehistoric dinosaurs however. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Category:Living dinosaurs, as well as the disamb. page Living dinosaurs, are not fiction and also include birds. The category is then a subsection of Category:Dinosaur, while please notice that Category:Birds is 13 sub-categories removed from Category:Dinosaurs. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
    "Living dinosaurs" can refer to any number of things including birds. It's overly vague for a category and there is no real name to move it to where it would no longer be vague. We don't normally have categories named after disambiguation pages, it's just confusing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: consistency with parent cats. Lokys dar Vienas (talk) 00:18, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. But the category should be checked for any Thai people in prison abroad. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:07, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Support per nom. Down with the tyranny of demonyms! Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:39, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: This (and the other political prisoners cats) needs to be considered for upmerging to Category:Thai prisoners and detainees in addition to renaming, as the by-natinoality categorization will be lost otherwise. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
No This is a "by country" tree, not a "by nationality / ethnicity" tree. Thai people can be political prisoners in Thailand, Turkey or Saudi Arabia. Not every Thai person who is a political prisoner, is in prison in Thailand. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:15, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • The category as named by the original creator Thai political prisoners and per the first parent category Thai prisoners and detainees makes it clear that the original intention was for it to be a nationality category. This proposal is suggesting to change it to a country category, which is why it needs to be upmerged if the change is to be carried out. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:55, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Reply how can we "move the prisoners to the correct tree and out of the wrong tree" when only one political prisoner tree exists? Did you mean to suggest that we should have two trees (i.e. Category:Thai political prisoners and Category:Political prisoners in Thailand)? If so, then the nomination should still proceed as few notable Thai political prisoners will be imprisoned outside Thailand. Plus those Chinese nationals who are political prisoners in Thailand. The nom should cater for the majority position. Category:Thai political prisoners can then be recreated for those Thai poitical prisoners who are not detained in Thailand. See also Category:Thai people imprisoned abroad. See also Meşale Tolu who is a German citizen and was a political prisoner in Turkey. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Merge all Timrollpickering (talk) 11:15, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Full list of around 170 categories
Rationale: recent cfds such as 2022 October 4#Category:Emigrants from the United States to British India, 2022 October 4#Category:Emigrants from the Ottoman Empire to British India, 2023 April 29#French emigrants and 2023 April 28#Belgian emigrants have upmerged small categories to their relevant parents. The categories listed are all small (1, 2 or 3 articles) and should be similarly upmerged.
The full list (around 170 categories) is on the talk page: Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 May 11. Oculi (talk) 00:06, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Procedural comment I have "Emigrants from Venezuala" on my watchlist so was advised then a CFD was added to the page. However, on clicking the "this category's entry" link, it brought me to a page where it was almost impossible to view the nomination. @Oculi: has now made his addendum above more visible. So when I clicked the 170 categories, I eventually saw the detailed proposal. Is is procedurally acceptable for a nomination detail to remain entirely off-page on a talk page? Is that fair?

    It's been done many times before. * Pppery * it has begun... 12:48, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    The advantage is that opiners do not have to scroll through 170+ lines to add their views, and has indeed been done many times before. It is true that this imposes upon an interested party the burden of clicking twice, but then so does a hidden (collapsed) sublist. Oculi (talk) 14:03, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    "It's done before" does not make it acceptable. Pelmeen10 (talk) 17:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    Very neat solution to the problem (inserting the list without cluttering up the page). Oculi (talk) 01:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
    The collapsed list is the accepted norm. One would notice such a structure. It is quite unlikely that one would notice a link in a rather large wall of text. What makes this procedural lapse all the more egregious was the supercilious replies by the nominator to a GoodFaith query on his talk page here. A simple, direct answer might have prevented this present complaint. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:34, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
    • Collapsing does not work on mobile and presumably mobile is the norm nowadays. Now you have to scroll through all the individual entries. This has become a really bad way of formatting. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Category:Exelastini & Template:Exelastini-stub

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.

Nominator's rationale: Exelastini has been deemed a junior synonym of Marasmarchini. See World Catalogue of Pterophoroidea, which also refers to the relevant scientific paper.
Category rename is borderline C2D-speedy, except that the "eponymous page" is a redirect to parent taxon Pterophorinae rather than a separate article. Effects ~50 articles.
Template is an upmerged stub template, so the category it feeds into does not need renaming, just the template itself. Effects ~50 articles. AddWittyNameHere 00:00, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
