Category:Biopsychology

 * 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. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:02, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Biopsychology into Category:Behavioral neuroscience
 * Nominator's rationale: Biopsychology redirects to Behavioral neuroscience. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. This might be a valid category if there were actually an article which adequately explained the distinction between "biopsychology" and "behavioral neuroscience" — but even the main article behavioral neuroscience itself just describes the terms as synonyms.

Category:Surrealist video games

 * Propose deleting surrealist video games


 * Nominator's rationale: As far as I can tell, this seems to be a made-up categorization that was then populated with a wide variety of video games (crime, sci-fi, horror, etc.) that matched the creator's arbitrary definition of what is "surrealist." The definition of Surrealism has been an ongoing debate on WP, but the other subcategories of Category:Surrealist works have at least working definitions with origins in the Surrealist movement, and they are all discussed in the main Surrealism article.  Video games are not discussed in that article, there is no critical consensus on Surrealist influence on video games, and there is no article on WP which gives this categorization any definition.  As such, it is entirely too broad and too subjective to be encyclopedic.  I recommend it be deleted. ---  The Old Jacobite   The '45  16:59, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. While obviously a video game can have some surreal aspects to its visual design, "surrealist" is not a type of video game per se — and thus it's not a defining characteristic of a game the way its genre or its parent studio might be. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy rename. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 04:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Mauritian long male jumpers to Category:Mauritian male long jumpers
 * Nominator's rationale: Doesn't make sense presently Yellow Dingo&#160;(talk) 03:30, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per convention in Category:Male long jumpers (although 'long male jumper' is more entertaining). Oculi (talk) 13:43, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Support Also, when it's an obvious typo/error, you can move a category to the correct title now.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 17:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. Speedy if possible, as there's no real need for debate about an obvious fix to an obvious error. Bearcat (talk) 00:08, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
