Category:Sport in Arcadia, Peloponnese

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 * Pppery * it has begun... 02:12, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: With four "sport" categories, one "sports clubs and teams" category, and six "football clubs" categories, not related to each other, out of 74 regional units in Greece, this does not help finding content. If kept, rename five to match their regional unit article and category (four additions of  (regional unit) and one typo in Zakynthos. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 23:37, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm surprised that it isn't "...in the Peloponnese", and that Peloponnese (region) isn't at Peloponnese (administrative region) or Peloponnese (modern region); the Peloponnese in the traditional sense is also a region. Ham II (talk) 06:39, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
    This is further complicated by that there exist categories for ancient regions, more modern regions and the administrative regions introduced in 1986. I think though you will succeed adding the the through WP:CFDS. But all that is outside the scope of this nomination. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 20:06, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge for Now The current amount of content creates WP:NARROWCAT but open to future recreation if the content ever grows substantially. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:03, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:45, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Redundant layer. No need to merge. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:35, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Video games based on works by H. P. Lovecraft. (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:46, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Only three games were ever made for this video game series (no official name exists for it) and this is not the way we would categorize them anyway. — Dissident93 (talk) 22:40, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:2MASS objects

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). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:45, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: 2MASS is a comprehensive all-sky survey with over 300 million objects, plus about 1 million more in the 2MASX extension, so nearly all sufficiently bright objects have an entry. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete, not a defining characteristic, it is not at all clear from the article texts why these articles are in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:09, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete celestial objects will be in multiple surveys. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:16, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Blauw-Wit Amsterdam songs

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 (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:47, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: One song per club; does not help navigation. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 16:59, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
This is OK to merge.--౪ Santa ౪99° 17:26, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom, or delete is also an option since they weren't originally published as a football song. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:13, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
    I think the article in Category:Millwall F.C. songs should still be connected with Category:Millwall F.C.. Blau-Wit and Feyenoord may be straight deleted. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 14:21, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 19:33, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom, such specific categories aren't needed for just one/two songs. GiantSnowman 19:35, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. Really a better solution. -- Just N. (talk) 17:07, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:TIC objects

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). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:47, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Same problem as the KIC category, only more so. There are 1.7 billion objects with TIC designations, including most stars with Wikipedia articles. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:31, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
Delete In contrast to Category:TESS Objects of Interest, this is a catalog of every star surveyed by TESS, most of which are uninteresting to its objectives. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:25, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete, not a defining characteristic, it is not at all clear from the article texts why these articles are in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:16, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Kepler Input Catalog

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). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:47, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Over-categorisation and limited usefulness. The catalog contains 13 million objects, nearly all the stars visible in a big chunk of the northern sky. The vast majority of notable stars will have received a KOI or Kepler designations and be catagorised through that. Anything that hasn't probably only has an incidental KIC designation, ie. of no significance. Lithopsian (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
Delete As the creator of this category, I have no problem with the reasoning. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:42, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Anglo-Cornish surnames

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: manual merge and purge to Category:Cornish-language surnames. (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:29, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Propose renaming Category:Anglo-Cornish surnames to Category:Cornish surnames
Nominator's rationale: Why is the "Anglo" prefix necessary? RobbieSpargo (talk) 14:24, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Manually merge to Category:Cornish-language surnames per nom's reasoning. Surnames that do not originate from Cornish language should be purged. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:21, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
    seems fair to merge RobbieSpargo (talk) 15:34, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per Marco, and don't forget purging. -- Just N. (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 September 3#American sportspeople by country of descent SMasonGarrison 19:16, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
Merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:28, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
@Smasongarrison (hello! long time since we last spoke, hope you're well!), also worth nominating these categories under the previous Cfd.
Excellent on all counts! SMasonGarrison 19:36, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Battles in the Southern theater of the American Revolutionary War

Battles of the War of 1812

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 (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:47, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: These battle categories are specifically for the War of 1812, but nothing in the names specifies that, making them ambiguous. For example, the Old Northwest is a place and the category name currently suggests that it's for any battles that took place there during any war. Mclay1 (talk) 12:57, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
