Category:Television series by shooting location

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 21:40, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Not specific to series, inconsistent with lower subcategories like those in the nomination below.. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:06, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. Inconsistent with the subcats. No objection to diffusing by "series" but no "Television series shot in..." categories even exist on Wikipedia at the moment. Οἶδα (talk) 23:56, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename for consistency per nom. -2pou (talk) 21:36, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Television shows filmed in $LOCATION

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 21:40, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Inconsistent with equivalent film categories, e.g. Category:Films shot in Afghanistan. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:04, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
I have nominated five similar categories for studios at WP:CFDS, where the category naming is more consistently in favor of shot. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:09, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. As a creator of pages that use these, I have found it frustrating remembering if they are "shot" or "filmed" (not for very long, but still felt nonetheless). -2pou (talk) 22:33, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. Οἶδα (talk) 23:47, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename for consistency. jolielover♥talk 05:52, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename, makes logical sense. There really is no distinction left between 'filmed' and 'shot' with modern digital cameras. — The Anome (talk) 08:19, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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 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: split. (non-admin closure) Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: These should be on two different category trees. (Oinkers42) (talk) 19:24, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
Split per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:31, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Staraction (talk · contribs) 21:39, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Only contains one article. (Oinkers42) (talk) 19:03, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
MErge per nom./ –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:06, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:10, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • merge per nom --Lenticel (talk) 03:54, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Category:Conflict involving Arab tribes

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). GoldRomean (talk) 22:14, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Another recently created category by the same user that created Category:Tribal Arab personality. The best I can tell, Arab tribes (Tribes of Arabia) are not subcategorized this way. Gjs238 (talk) 18:21, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:52, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep, I dont see reasons to delete it, it can be a sub-category of the Arab tribes category. There is a mountain of categories about conflicts involving some groups. Al-Hilali Z (talk) 07:14, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, GoldRomean (talk) 03:17, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
  • @Al-Hilali Z: the most similar category I can find is under Category:Wars by peoples involved. But that is war, not conflicts. And as far as I can see, here in this case, it is just conflict with "locals" involved, rather than a specific ethnic group. Arabs are the majority ethnicity of Morocco after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:32, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above. Gjs238 (talk)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:48, 28 June 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: Moot The correct process would have been to request implementing the forgotten April discussion at WT:CFDW, not starting a new one. * Pppery * in solidarity 22:59, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: As per discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2026_April_16#Category:Installation_art_works_by_Luke_Jerram Gjs238 (talk) 17:55, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Category:GalaxyCon navigational boxes

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 14:05, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: the category consists of a singular navbox Template:GalaxyCon, and there are no prospects of the category becoming bigger. —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:18, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Staraction (talk · contribs) 15:40, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Category:Anti-pornography movements

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:25, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Main article name, no reason to limit to movements. I attempted to add 2026 Côte-des-Neiges shooting because the motive was explicitly against pornography, but was reverted because it wasn't a movement. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:25, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
Rename per nom, more encompassing terminology that would be more useful for those looking into the subject LincolnMagnus (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:55, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom. We can always have a subcategory if we need a movement-specific category later. — The Anome (talk) 15:37, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
  • rename per nom --Lenticel (talk) 03:56, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:25, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Per This Discussion. We have moved from Author to Writer for a long time.

Category:Non-free Playbill magazine covers

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 for this particular proposal. (non-admin closure) Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:25, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The "non-free" qualifier here prevents Playbill magazine covers from being listed that are free, e.g. {{PD-simple}}. Gert7 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Category:Fictional eels

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:25, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Nothing that would actually count as an individual fictional eel. Or, merge relevant articles to a subcategory Category:Works about fish. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:00, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Fictional goldfish

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: split between Category:Fictional fish and Category:Goldfish in culture. (non-admin closure) Staraction (talk · contribs) 13:38, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Only has 1 actual goldfish character, so is a WP:NARROWCAT. The rest can be merged to Category:Goldfish in culture. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:57, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Fictional crocodilians

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 06:10, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Per List of fictional crocodiles and alligators. There is no need to use a scientific name for fictional characters. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:45, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per nom, or split between crocodiles and alligators. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:21, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Oppose split, the species are too similar and only one of the articles seems to be about an alligator instead of a crocodile. No opinion on rename. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:46, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename as nominated. We should use common names not scientific terms for fictional things.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:39, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
  • rename per above --Lenticel (talk) 03:57, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Category:Fictional cephalopods

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 06:10, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Merge to all parent categories. Unnecessary category layer that contains nothing of note after cleanup was complete. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:41, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge Two subcategories and a redirect. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:33, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge we should use common names for fictional beings.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:40, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Category:Dock workers

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) Staraction (talk · contribs) 03:46, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: After creating and populating it I noticed there is an older one. Arguably mine has a more precise parent category, but we should redirect (merge) it to the older one, I think, replacing its parent category? Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 01:59, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Support This is really just strictly procedural in nature, as the 2 categories are the same thing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:42, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • @Hanyangprofessor2: you can just move the articles to the original category, improve the parenting and tag the duplicate with {{Db-self}}. This does not require discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge These are the same. There are a lot of terms that have inconsistency on if they are one word of two. Such as shipowners.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:41, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
  • merge per above --Lenticel (talk) 03:57, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Category:Historic farms in Norway

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) Staraction (talk · contribs) 03:43, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and WP:OVERLAPCAT
This category is not based on any heritage register or other objective historical determination so it becomes subjective by editor and, because of the long history of agriculture in Norway, most the Norwegian farm articles are in some way historic so these largely overlap. (Most of the category contents are already in Category:Farm museums in Norway or the county subcategories so not all articles will need to be merged.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:13, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Note to Closer: If this passes, tag me and I'm happy to do that manual work. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:13, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Historic bridges in Omaha, Nebraska

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). Staraction (talk · contribs) 03:43, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT
This category is not based on any heritage register or other objective historical determination so it becomes subjective by editor. For instance, the Ak-Sar-Ben Bridge and Mormon Bridge both seem historic to me but neither is in this category. No conceptual objection to creating city categories for bridges listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but given the article count that doesn't seem needed here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:13, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. Historic site is by official designation. The categorization would have to be contained to one of those objective groupings. Οἶδα (talk) 02:26, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
