Nominator's rationale: The stations were sold to Gray Television this week. The local media division no longer exists as the company merged with Dotdash to become entirely a publishing company. CrazyC83 (talk) 21:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Category:Rust shooting incident

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by association. The six articles filed here comprise the article about the incident, the head article about the film, the town where the incident took place, and three biographies of people: the two obvious Just You Guess Whos, and the film's director. The problem is that this isn't a defining characteristic of Alec Baldwin, Joel Souza or Bonanza City (and it's at best debatable whether it's even defining of Halyna Hutchins), and if those were removed it would just be a two or three item WP:SMALLCAT. (Possibly even smaller than that, because the film may never actually be completed for the purposes of passing WP:NFILM, and thus may not actually need its own standalone article as a separate topic from the incident article anymore either.) The category system is not just a tool to start a category for just every individual thing that ever happens and then "bundle" every article that's remotely related to it -- we categorize on the defining characteristics of a topic, not on every individual thing that happens to or at it. Bearcat (talk) 18:36, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting rust shooting incident
 * Delete - similar incidents listed on the Rust shooting incident page don't have similar categories to this one. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:34, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Pretty significant incident with a number of articles related to it. I expect there'll be at least a couple more articles created in association with this. Love of Corey (talk) 02:45, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "Related to" is not the basis for a category. "Defined by" is. Bearcat (talk) 03:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Chicago Red Stars

 * 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 both.  bibliomaniac  1  5  04:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: Both categories refer to Chicago Red Stars. It is not common practice to separate footballers/soccer players by the leagues they were playing in at the time. Therefore, Category:Chicago Red Stars (NWSL) players and Category:Chicago Red Stars (WPS) players should both be merged into Category:Chicago Red Stars players- this is consistent with Chicago Red Stars, which is one article for the team that has featured in both the Women's Professional Soccer and National Women's Soccer League Joseph<b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 11:14, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Chicago Red Stars (NWSL) players and Category:Chicago Red Stars (WPS) players to Category:Chicago Red Stars players


 * Support merge as per nom and per my comments on WT:FOOTY. --SuperJew (talk) 13:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge - it's clearly the same team, there's no reason to have separate categories for players that played in each of the two different leagues the team have competed in -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:34, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge per nom. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#27B382">1499</b> 13:50, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Support merge - we do not have multiple categories for one club, just the one, even if they change names or leagues. GiantSnowman 20:25, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge - one team that plays in the same league with two names of the same tier level does not need disambiguator categories. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 22:05, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge per nom. Seany91 (talk) 11:13, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge both (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:06, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: There is only 1 article, as far as I can see, about a reggae trombonist. Rathfelder (talk) 19:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting reggae trombonists by nationality
 * Are you proposing for deletion as well?  User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)  21:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. The second category was not tagged yet. I have done that now. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There is at least an article in it, but probably it should go too. Rathfelder (talk) 23:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merging of both back into - which, at just a handful of articles, is hardly overstretched. Double merge  into the depressingly small  as well. Grutness...  wha?   13:11, 25 November 2021 (UTC) (edited 01:04, 26 November 2021 (UTC))
 * Support merging of both back into . --Just N. (talk) 22:25, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to its parent . Upmerge  to its parents, namely  and . Rathfelder has been reminded many times about the need to upmerge to all parents (rather than a straight delete), but is perhaps concentrating (without success) on indenting properly. Oculi (talk) 10:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy delete: G1 (patent nonsense), G5 (created by blocked user) Grutness... wha?   23:57, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: It seems like this category's title is vague and should specify if it is for the United States or all countries. But I'm asking for deletion as I can't see this as a potential new branch in our coverage of roads and highways. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 02:54, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting coast to coast highways
 * Delete—as vague and unneeded.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:59, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete as WP:NOTDEFINING. The category is probably meant to be something like Category:Coast-to-coast Interstate highways (as it's a subcat of Category:Interstate Highway System), but I don't see how the intersection of those 2 things is defining. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 15:48, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Question -- Was this emptied out of process? If so, reinstate content, but rename to unitied states coast to coast highways.
 * Delete The category was created by a blocked user who added nonsense crap and made several other disruptive edits. The history of the page shows that no useful content can be reused elsewhere. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 11:29, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per WP:G1. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 20:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've deleted it as nonsense. There seems to have been no intent here other than disruption. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:02, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
