Nominator's rationale: Only contain topic articles: Chechens in France, Ossetians in Turkey. One would expect biographical articles, per WP:SEPARATE. Also borderline WP:C2F. The articles already in the appropriate categories for diasporas in France and diasporas in Turkey, no need for a second merge target. Place Clichy (talk) 18:41, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Renaming to a more common name will help with navigation. Australasian as opposed to Australian due to kangaroos being native to that broader area, but still better than scientific terminology. WinstonDewey (talk) 16:11, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Merge * Pppery * it has begun... 01:47, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT and redundant layer, paintings of related people overlap with paintings based on related books. Also, parent categories are not that big, allowing enough room. Discussion was requested here. Brandmeister talk 21:28, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Category:Habsburg Serbs

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> 12:48, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This is a niche phrase that isn't really generally recognizable by the average English reader, there's no comparable category for "Habsburg Austrians" or "Habsburg Hungarians", so we should use a descriptive phrase "Serbs in the Habsburg monarchy" instead (WP:NDESC). --Joy (talk) 19:58, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename, the current name is quite unclear, since Habsburg may also refer to House of Habsburg. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename because the proposed name is more clear. However there is also Category:Serbian Austro-Hungarians. Place Clichy (talk) 00:29, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Apparently one category is for 18th-century people and the other for 19th-century people. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: I believe this is the kind of "personal category" that is discouraged by WP:USERCATNO. This information should instead be listed on a userpage. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:18, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
Its listed in a cat due to precendent with sockpuppet cats.
It was getting large enough for a cat to be warented imo.
It allows people to see what accounts/ips/temp accounts where used by me at some point. - Flower (she/her; Accounts) 18:21, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete It is indisputably a personal category and goes against WP:USERCATNO as having "limited relevance". Furthermore, most of the accounts listed there are shared IPs and cannot reasonably be "claimed" by a single user anyway. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:38, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete Only 8 pages are listed and looks like something that can be very easily mistaken for malice. Mox Eden (talk) 10:34, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete "precedent with sockpuppet cats" shouldn't really be used as a rationale here, and can easily imply bad faith despite that not being the intention here. This should be placed on a user page or user subpage instead. Z E T A3 18:59, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Seems to be an unencyclopedic cross-categorization. There is nothing pointing to standalone notability for this specific combination even though on the whole transgender characters in fiction have received discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:58, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Shouldn't the subcategory be nominated too, for consistency? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:33, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Support "Transgender" and "non-binary" are defining, but "[] in video games" is typically not. It would make more sense if there was a glut of non-video game examples, but there are not. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 02:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Seems to be a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. The parent categories appear to be encyclopedic cross-categorizations, but I am not sure this level of specificity is necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:50, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:49, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Seems to be a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. The subject of LGBTQ characters in games has been discussed, but does not need to be distilled into extreme detail. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:28, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:20, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:CROSSCAT and base category was made by an indeffed user. Nothing appears to be independently notable about these video game-centric cross-categorizations with the exception of Category:Animal characters in video games, which has its own main article. If someone can demonstrate evidence that any of the other ones don't actually fail CROSSCAT, feel free to do so. (Note: They should not need to be merged into "Video game characters" because they are usually in the "Male/female video game characters" categories anyway). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:22, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Video games with low poly graphics

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:50, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: As per the multiple attempts to merge or delete this category in the past, it suffers from a WP:SUBJECTIVECAT problem as well as an issue where it's not clear that it refers to games intentionally designed to look like a retro 3D game unless one reads the category's description. Theoretically, any PS1 game etc. could fit within this category's current title.
It's also clear, however, that there is consensus this is a useful category. Therefore, I suggest renaming it in a way that it's consistent with Category:Retro-style video games and also makes clear that it's about games with a purposeful 3D retro style. As a bonus, there wouldn't have to be a debate as to what constitutes "low-poly". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:23, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
Note: An alternate possible name would be Category:Retro-style video games with 3D graphics. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:27, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment This is an interesting proposal and is consistent with its parent category. I still like the current name, but I'd like to know what other editors think. --NoonIcarus (talk) 18:35, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Retro-style 3D is a much vaguer term and will most often be original research. For some, Duke Nukem 3D represents the cutting edge of this group, while for others it's late PS1 games, and for some even PS2 titles. Others would say that boomer shooters or Doom-like (corridor shooters) are retro-style 3D games due to game design. Also it doesn't look that media/sources tend to use the term "retro-style 3D" regularly, and moreover, there is no separate article describing this concept. While "low poly" graphics/games is a commonly used and applied specifically to modern stylisation. It is unlikely that anyone would retrospectively refer to individual games from the 1990s as low-poly games, but it can be said that the entire 3D era was low-poly. And I don't think that means we should put the entire PS1 catalogue here. If really necessary, we could add words like "modern" or "stylisation" to the current name, but I still think this is unnecessary. Solidest (talk) 20:10, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
    "Low poly" would be at least as vague if not moreso. If you oppose this I am not sure why you would support keeping it as is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:50, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: purge. (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:51, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This category primarily consists of characters who are playable in kart racers, which I feel is distinct to characters who are racing drivers. Rosaece ♡ talk ♡ contribs 14:15, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Supposedly it should be Category:Fictional kart racer characters? Marcocapelle (talk) 15:48, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose The category should be purged of all characters for whom this is NOT defining for their character. Sonic the Hedgehog is not defined as being a racing driver, for example. A split shouldn't be needed after the purge. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:09, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Propose renaming Category:Christ figures in fiction to Category:Christ figures
Nominator's rationale: The "in fiction" portion is unnecessary, as the article Christ figure makes clear that this is a purely fictional classification. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:42, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Is this a defining characteristic at all? If the category isn't deleted, rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:25, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes, I think it is defining. Weak keep, because it is more immediately obvious to me what "Christ figures in fiction" means, compared to the bare name "Christ figures". – Fayenatic London 10:19, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: All people in this category are actually of Arab descent, so it would be better to name the category more accurately. Hassan697 (talk) 21:38, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

  • @Marcocapelle and Hassan697: I suggested an upmerge to Category:Indonesian people of Arab descent, because I see no evidence than the triple intersection of being Indonesian, Arab, and a politician is anything other than trivial. What do you think of this alternative? I would say that a second merge target in the politicians tree is not necessary, because individuals defined as politicians are most probably already defined by a more precise political office or orientation, and by WP:FINALRUNG they should be, but this can be manually checked.

    I support this proposal. Hassan697 (talk) 15:55, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Meanwhile it is no longer applicable, see below. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
  • I've put six categories that were in directly Category:Bulgarian musicians so now it works. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 08:37, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
    But there is also Category:Bulgarian musical groups by populated place where no other possible subcategories exist. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 09:12, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. Category:Bulgarian musical groups by populated place will require a separate nomination. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:35, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

  • Propose renaming Category:Maharajas of Rajasthan to Category:Maharajas from Rajputana
Nominator's rationale: rename, aligning with Category:People from Rajputana. The name Rajasthan only became in use after 1949 when most of these maharajas were no longer alive. Alternatively, Category:Maharajas in Rajputana is also possible. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Category of redirects for songs that point to one of the band's few albums, making this redundant to the group's albums category. No objection to the redirects themselves, but they don't need to be categorized by the artist when the targets have little to no info about the songs beyond being on the track listings.
