Category:English deaths at the Battle of Bannockburn

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). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:53, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Do we really need this category to be limited to just English deaths? I think this category should either be broadened to include all nationalities, or merged into English people of the Wars of Scottish Independence SMasonGarrison 23:16, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Category:Fremantle Football Club (1882–1886) players

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:55, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Do we really need two separate categories for this? SMasonGarrison 22:47, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Just delete, the only article Bill Bateman (cricketer) does not even mention Fremantle Football Club. Marcocapelle (talk) 01:48, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep, even though the names appear as they are the same, they were actually 2 separate teams. Trademarks and marketing was very different in the 1880s! See Fremantle Football Club (1882–1899) and Fremantle Football Club (1882–1886) for the explanation. Not sure why the cat says 1881 though... Lol, looks like I did the article move ten years ago, but didn't move the player cat. If you want to delete the cat because of only a single article in it, then that's a different argument. The-Pope (talk) 03:45, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete as not defining for the sole entry; don't merge as the two clubs were not the same. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 15:52, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete Category:Fremantle Football Club (1882–1886) players as effectively empty. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:59, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

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 since the articles are already in the subcats of the suggested target, merging would be unncessary duplication. See petscan:39774768, 51 matches the total number in Category:Plan ADOP alumni (non-admin closure) ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:09, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Category:Palestine governments

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 to Category:Governments of Palestine. Category:Palestinian government can be nominated at any time. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 14:02, 16 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: This would be consistent with other country categories in Category:Governments by country. Hassan697 (talk) 20:07, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. While there is no consistency in the tree of Category:Governments by country this format hardly ever occurs. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:02, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Question: what to do with Category:Palestinian government? If I am not mistaken, we used to reserve the word Palestinian for topics related to Palestinians as an ethnic group, regardless of location or polity. I think this category used to contain several instruments or attempts of organized government related to Palestinians, including the PLA and the SoP, but now only All-Palestine Government and West Bank Governorate remain. Place Clichy (talk) 21:30, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
    I think that category (currently containing All-Palestine Government and West Bank Governorate) should be merged into Category:Governments of Palestine. I had planned to propose this after the current discussion is concluded. Hassan697 (talk) 20:02, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: We don't intersect anything else with birth year. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 18:46, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
Support per nom. I've added a couple other categories to the nom from the same creator SMasonGarrison 22:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 18:26, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. Should probably be merged into Category:Video games about police officers and Category:Video games based on films as well. (Oinkers42) (talk) 13:12, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

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) GoldRomean (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Merge per nom for both. Similar categories like these are limited to states and this is only one I've found with a city-specific subcategory. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:15, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per WP:NARROWCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:05, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom --Lenticel (talk) 09:13, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep 1) this is a subject that has been widely written about in third party sources and thus easily passes WP:EGRS. It is obviously a "combination is itself recognized as a defining topic that has already been established (in reliable sources showing substantial existing research specific to the topic), as academically or culturally significant in its own right." 2) New York City has a population greater than about 38 US states. There is nothing narrow about this.--User:Namiba 13:39, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
    The recognized subject is Jews and Judaism in New York City though. A good number of people stamped with this category label fail to demonstrate any defining link between their Judaism and their politics. Place Clichy (talk) 18:48, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
    JEWS IN THE POLITICAL LIFE OF NEW YORK CITY, 1865-1897 by SILVER, ARTHUR M. (Yeshiva University 1954); Blacks, Jews, and New York Politics by Rabinowitz, Dorothy.  (Commentary; New York, N. Y. Vol. 66, Iss. 5, (Nov 1, 1978); The Jews and New York City's Mayoralty Election of 1917 by Zosa Szajkowski, Vol. 32, No. 4 (Oct., 1970). Here are just three of several articles about New York City politics and the Jewish community.--User:Namiba 19:00, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
    Sure, as a group, and I don't doubt that. I just wished we found a way for individual politicians who happen to be assumed Jewish but do not take a public stance of it in their politics to be placed in such categories. Place Clichy (talk) 13:35, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
    Religion and ethnicity are almost always factors in electoral politics. That's the nature of the profession.--User:Namiba 13:10, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
    Hopefully not. There are secular countries where the nature of politics is not to represent one's kind. Place Clichy (talk) 22:15, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
Keep. I created Category:Jews from New York City because it has the largest Jewish population in the country, they have been very important in its history and culture, and it's useful to be able to separate from the already huge category Category:Jews from New York (state). New York is such a big city that it makes sense to have categories just for it. Regarding Category:Jewish American people in New York City politics, we also have Category:African-American people in New York City politics, so there is precedent for having an ethnicity-specific category. Qualiesin (talk) 15:15, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Category:Controversial video games

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). GoldRomean (talk) 18:26, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The category should be renamed to a title similar to Category:Books involved in plagiarism controversies. The current one could fall under WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, as people may interpret "controversial" as up to their personal opinion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:17, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:57, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
  • Support as creator - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 06:42, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
    Support per nominator. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 22:04, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
    Comment Isn't the scope rather vague? There are games who are controversial due to extensive plagiarism like Limbo of the Lost, due to rather tasteless portrayals of rape like Custer's Revenge, and games who use real-life tragedies for publicity like Super Columbine Massacre RPG!. Do they actually belong in a single category? Dimadick (talk) 04:32, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
    Well, I'm not opposed to making subcategories, but I just made the general category due to the main video game controversies category having a ton of articles. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:52, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
