Category:Foxing (band) songs

 * 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. MER-C 10:31, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting foxing (band) songs


 * Nominator's rationale: Not a useful category for 3 redirects for songs all pointing to the same album by the same artist. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 22:19, 21 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - as the nominator stated, all the entries in this category are redirects that all go to the same article, hence the usefulness of this category is minimal to say the least. Unless other articles can be found for this category, deletion is the most straight forward action. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 03:23, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Mass murders

 * 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: do not merge. MER-C 10:31, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose upmerging Category:Mass murders to Category:Mass murder


 * Nominator's rationale: The category contains several subcategories which can all be listed under the parent category Category:Mass murder so simplifying the category tree. There is one article Yang Jia about a particular mass murderer who already has several other appropriate category classifications. Hugo999 (talk) 20:08, 21 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - there is the other parent Category:Murders to consider. ( Category:Mass murders, set category, subset of topic category Category:Mass murder, is the usual set-up.) Oculi (talk) 23:25, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Oculi this the pattern used throughout WP for subject discussion vs occurrences. Combining would not help users. Hmains (talk) 01:41, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment- Well I see the category Category:Mass murder as an overall category for articles and subcategories about Mass Murder so not requiring a plural subcategory; just as the category "Category:Mass shootings" does not require a parent category "Mass shooting", although the main article is "Mass shooting". Hugo999 (talk) 10:48, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Standard pattern on Wikipedia to use singular for overall topic and plural for instances. See, for example and,  and ,  and , etc. Grutness...  wha?   23:07, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting black widow films


 * Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 17:09, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 19:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Women's National Basketball Association presidents to Category:Women's National Basketball Association commissioners
 * Nominator's rationale: In July 2019, the role was officially renamed from president to commissioner when Cathy Engelbert took office. Functionally there is no difference, the responsibilities are the same, it's just a formal title change to align with how the NBA operates. SportsGuy789 (talk) 15:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)


 * rename per nom -- on the precedent of alumni of merged colleges, I would suggest that we do this, but for the benefit of pedantic users the category should be provided with a headnote that the category includes the office-holders who had the title of president until .

 * Done! SportsGuy789 (talk) 02:58, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
