Category:Glass elevators
- 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) Servite et contribuere (talk) 00:22, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This feels very non-defining/notable nor something that could be categorized by its name alone. When I came across it, both fictional media and real world locations were included. The fictional media I have since removed, but I don't believe there needs to be a real world categorization either. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:46, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete a characteristic of an item in a building is not defining to the building. If we had articles on actual elevators here it would be different. What next Category:Revolving doors and place every building with revolving dors (or that once had a revolving door since categories always apply) in it? This is not a good method of categorization.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:52, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per Johnpacklambert. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:08, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I assumed this was for actual elevator articles, but this is trivial for an overall building. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:24, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- I also expected to find articles on elevators not Buildings. If the articles were on elevators we would either keep or merge. Since they are not elevators we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:44, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per above, seems arbitrary how these articles are added to this category anyways. For example, the Mall of America was added to this category, which the MOA does indeed have glass elevators, but there are no images or any mention of glass elevators in the article. This is not really a notable or defining characteristic in any way so there is no need to categorize this. JayJayWhat did I do? 22:09, 27 February 2026 (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: merge (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 19:33, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:People blinded in one eye in battle to Category:People blind in one eye
- Propose merging Category:People blinded in one eye in road accidents or incidents to Category:People blind in one eye
- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection. The intersection between the fact that they were blind in one eye and antyhing else, like the cause, doesn't seem to be defining. This is a a followup to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2026_January_15#Category:People_who_lost_vision_in_each_eye_at_different_times SMasonGarrison 20:55, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Category:Refuse-eating animals
- 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: withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:11, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Refuse-eating animals to Category:Discarded food scavengers
Nominator's rationale: Searching for "refuse-eating animals" or "refuse-eating" doesn't indicate that such term ever exists. The linked parent article is at Scavenger#Scavengers that feed on discarded food, so "discarded food scavengers" looks palatable assuming this category should exist. Brandmeister talk 20:02, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose: Thanks for your query, Brandmeister. In dictionary definitions of the word "scavenger" (e.g. here and here) and in the lede of the Scavenger article, the term "refuse" is used. The phrase "refuse eaters" is also used in some journal articles (e.g. here). I think the term "refuse" is preferable to the phrase "discarded food" because it is concise and precise. The phrase "discarded food" is ambiguous because it could refer to partially eaten prey that has been discarded by predators. Ruslan Firdaus (talk) 00:55, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarification, I'm withdrawing this. Brandmeister talk 08:43, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Only one article in the category, which is unlikely to be expanded. – numbermaniac 16:14, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) GothicGolem29 (Talk) 18:49, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is a common category tree, a bilateral relations category containing no articles and only a single sub-cat, usually X expatriates in Y or X people of Y descent. I'm not convinced of the usefulness of this, it means a reader has to click through multiple categories to get to an article. I'm also not convinced that biographies of expatriates or people of X descent in Y belong in bilateral relations category trees. It seems that Category:British expatriates in the Federated States of Micronesia, the only subcat in this category, is already appropriately categorised in Category:British expatriates and Category:Expatriates in the Federated States of Micronesia. Seeking feedback on a possible wider nomination. AusLondonder (talk) 15:19, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, bilateral relations categories with just migrants/expatriates subcategories need not be kept. This is primarily about political relations. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:47, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I have doubts that expatriate and emigrant categories go here at all. The 1 expatriate category has 1 article on a football player. I have proposed it for merging.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:47, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: delete, having a populated place near a monastery in a monastery category is odd, it should rather be the other way around. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:15, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Cosmism to Category:Russian cosmism
- Nominator's rationale: If there's a distinction here, I'm not seeing it. Cosmism is a disambiguation page. Prezbo (talk) 07:52, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:People executed by Yemen by decapitation (2 P) to Category:People executed by decapitation and Category:People executed by Yemen
- Nominator's rationale: merge, only 1 or 2 articles in these categories, this is not helpful for navigation. More as a side note, in one case it is just plain wrong, Cristóvão da Gama was executed by the Islamic Adal Sultanate rather than by the Christian Ethiopian Empire, and in some other cases quite questionable, e.g. Þórir Jökull Steinfinnsson executed by one of two parties in a civil war and Souvanna Phomma executed by a local chieftain.

- Propose merging Category:October 2022 in Vanuatu to Category:2022 in Vanuatu and Category:October 2022 in Oceania
- Propose deleting Category:2022 in Vanuatu by month
- Nominator's rationale: Each of these categories only have one article. I don't think we need to diffuse per month here; the year category should be sufficient. – numbermaniac 03:45, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: listify. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 19:38, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Disney Princess films to Category:Theatrical animated Disney Princess films
- Nominator's rationale: This rename comes out of a discussion about which films belong in the category. It was agreed to rename to the proposed title as it matches the criteria used to determine which characters are part of the group and avoids instances where direct-to-video and live action films get added.

- Listify - Needs explanation for each entry, and borders on WP:OR. - jc37 08:54, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Listify I do not think we should built categories entirely on a businesses marketing campaign. This very much applies when there are so many things that on first glance would fit that are not here. On the other hand Mulan is not here for any discernable reason. In the story she never even remotely is a princess. This needs a list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:19, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 19:41, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Merge Category:Belgian jazz harmonica players to Category:Belgian harmonica players (the article is in another sub-cat of Belgian jazz musicians]] and is already in Category:Jazz harmonica players)
- Merge Category:Bebop harmonica players to Category:Bebop musicians (the 1 article here is the same as in the last category)
- Merge Category:Brazilian jazz (genre) harmonica players to Category:Brazilian jazz (genre) musicians (still the same article)
- Merge Category:Mainstream jazz harmonica players to Category:Mainstream jazz musicians
- Merge Category:Latin jazz harmonica players to Category:Latin jazz musicians and Category:Jazz harmonica players (since 2 of the 3 articles here are different than in the above categories)
- Delete Category:Jazz harmonica players by genre
- Nominator's rationale Category:Jazz harmonica players only has 14 articles total. This is far too few to divide a category. The Jazz harmonica Category tree has 8 categories to hold 14 articles. This is not helpful to navigation. 2 of those are container categories. One of the articles here is in all 6 of the non-container categories and in all 4 with 1 article. Belgian harmonica players only has 6 articles so sub-dividing is not needed. We do not need to create every possible Category to intersect sub-genre and instrument or instrument, genre and nationality.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:20, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Johnpacklambert: for Category:Mainstream jazz harmonica players you write "and". Is there a second merge target? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:58, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- No, it was just a comment on how that still was 1 article and the same as the previous categories 1 article. Since the 1 article there is already in the Jazz harmonica players category there is no need to merge.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale language sing in at least in the case of Latin is not defining to the singers. To write in a language you have to understand it better than to speak it. To sing in a language requires less understanding than in even speaking. Even if we were to be able to fully restrict these categories to peiple who sang large numbers of different songs in the language or some similar set of restrictions we would still be including people who did not actually know the language. A category like Category:Latin-language songwriters might work, but I do not think this category is covering something that is actually a defining trait.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
