 * Delete Re-airing programming by others is not a defining trait, and this category is otherwise a duplicate. It is now empty as well. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 13:24, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Category:Köppen climate classifications
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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:Köppen climate types. MER-C 16:34, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Köppen climate classifications to Category:Köppen climates
 * Nominator's rationale: rename for grammar reason. Although there are some variants, Köppen climate classification is singular in itself. In this category we do not have climate classifications but we simply have climates of a classification. An alternative might be Category:Köppen regional climates.

 * I slightly prefer Category:Köppen climate types as these are types, rather than articles on the system (for the most part). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * (as nom) Category:Köppen climate types is certainly an improvement compared to the current name. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:37, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Plants by climate
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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 19:00, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants by climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of continental subarctic climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of humid continental climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of Mediterranean climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of mild maritime climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of subpolar oceanic climate
 * Propose deleting Category:Plants of temperate climates
 * Nominator's rationale: delete, currently this is a redundant category layer as each category only contains one subcategory. These categories might be populated with articles, but it would become pretty subjective to classify plants by climate, since climates are not precisely defined and it is rather unlikely that reliable sources classify plants by climate. Finally it is questionable whether these categories would be useful at all, as they would lump plants together from different continents. Plants are currently categorized by region which already gives a fair indication of the climate. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:51, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Marriage legislation in the United States

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 16:36, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Marriage legislation in the United States to Category:Marriage law in the United States
 * Nominator's rationale: To match the other categories. ★Trekker (talk) 00:21, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Question: @★Trekker: to match which other categories? -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 05:13, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Its parent category Category:Marriage law, as well as Category:Marriage law in the United Kingdom and Category:Marriage law in India.★Trekker (talk) 05:14, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Rename, both for consistency with other categories and because most of its content is not legislation. It's mostly case law. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 09:10, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Query what has happened to the various marriage categories? I noticed that a lot of them have been disassociated from their original articles. Most marriage articles have now been corralled into one of same-sex-marriage or to divorce. Is that what defines marriage? If so, who decided on this dichotomy? Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:16, 6 September 2020 (UTC)


 * That hasn't happened. Only those that are about same-sex marriage or about divorce have been moved to child categories. I don't see why anyone would have an issue with that. Reducing over-categorization is not a bad thing.★Trekker (talk) 13:02, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * See this diff. One of a number by that editor whose effect has been to parent such referendums exclusively to the LGBT tree, not the Marriage tree. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:14, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That removal was done after they added Category:Same-sex marriage referendums which is part of the Marriage tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:37, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That just goes to support what I wrote above ("Most marriage articles have now been corralled into one of same-sex-marriage or to divorce. Is that what defines marriage?"). Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm confused on what your issue with this is.★Trekker (talk) 18:34, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That diff posted by LL appears to be a perfect application of WP:SUBCAT. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 01:50, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm aware that it's a subcat. That misses the point which is how did the marriage cats get emptied so as to be confined to just 2 subcats - same-sex-marriage and divorce? Since when did those topics alone define marriage? Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:33, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I really still don't understand. All that means is that there are enough articles to have two childcats, it has nothing to do with "defining marriage".★Trekker (talk) 09:21, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There is actually a 3rd subcat, namely about polygamy. All three are valid subcategories. And there are also 8 articles that do not fit either of the three subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:57, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * OK. Sorry about the recent bout of paranoia. Maybe there's not a big conspiracy after all. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:52, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom; included within this is case law which is not legislation. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:14, 11 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Rename Reflects use of more common wording. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 04:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
