Category:Lists of cultural icons

 * 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)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:37, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting lists of cultural icons
 * Nominator's rationale: Following the mass AfD Articles for deletion/List of cultural icons of Australia, this category is now practically empty. The consensus that "cultural icons of X" is not an appropriate WP:LISTCRIT renders this category quite unlikely to be filled up again any time soon. Therefore it should probably be deleted. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 23:27, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting basketball players by city or town in india
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This container category contains just one category and is unlikely to grow in the near future. User:Namiba 18:17, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:39, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:George III of the United Kingdom to Category:George III
 * Propose renaming Category:George IV of the United Kingdom to Category:George IV
 * Propose renaming Category:William IV of the United Kingdom to Category:William IV
 * Nominator's rationale: I don't think the territorial designation is needed. Векочел (talk) 18:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Rename somehow, if disambiguation is needed (which as such I do not have an opinion about) then the normal format would be Category:George III (United Kingdom) or even Category:George III (U.K.). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:11, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per main article name. I don't see anything broken here. It's possible that George III, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau or George III of Georgia might one day need a category. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:53, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The main article name is George III though. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:27, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Some bizarre renaming decisions were taken recently that were quite Anglo-centric. They should never have been allowed. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:47, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * There is precedent for moving the article on George III. The British monarchs from Edward VII to Elizabeth II all had their pages moved, chopping off "of the United Kingdom", in 2010 and 2011. There is consensus established for those articles. Векочел (talk) 20:59, 18 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose The suggested titles are confusing at best. Dimadick (talk) 20:12, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree that the articles should not have been moved, and the category names suggested are ambiguous. Oculi (talk) 16:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Major League Baseball on television by decade. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Major League Baseball on television history to Category:History of Major League Baseball on television
 * Nominator's rationale: Clearer name. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Not sure if the proposed name is clearer. How about Category:Major League Baseball on television by decade (and move two articles to the parent categories)? Marcocapelle (talk) 21:19, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no objection to that alternative.– Fayenatic  L ondon 08:32, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Speedily deleted again under WP:G4. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:48, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting alphabetical musical instruments
 * Nominator's rationale: serves no clear purpose. Scope is undefined and appears to be attempting to list one or more musical instrument for each letter of the alphabet.  Velella  Velella Talk 13:20, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:45, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting great falls smelter city players
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one entry. Can't see that the target team is notable; even the league was redlinked until today. Do we need a list of players on a team that's not worthy of an article. Jacona (talk) 12:47, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Also, the only article in the article doesn't even mention the team. Mucube (talk · contribs) 20:12, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Effectively an empty category since the one article, in its current form, doesn't belong there. - RevelationDirect (talk) 15:39, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  09:46, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting video games featuring protagonists of selectable gender
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. This is an exceedingly common feature in video games (most RPGs, for instance).  Sandstein   11:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Note: this was strongly opposed when nominated a year ago, see Categories for discussion/Log/2021 November 28. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose: my stance has not changed since the 2021 discussion.--AlexandraIDV 19:42, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Again? We had this discussion barely a year ago. My stance on the matter remains the same. Ding Chavez (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: Since this was not addressed in the last discussion, I do have one thing to add: I disagree this is an "exceedingly common feature". There are 668 entries in the category as of this writing, while there are roughly 26000 articles about video games on English Wikipedia based on the amout of articles using Template:Infobox video game; that's only about 2.5% of all games covered on English Wikipedia. Looking at the role-playing genre alone, there are 1858 entries in Category:Role-playing video games as of this writing (excluding the subcategories, where there may be some overlap). A search for articles containing both Category:Role-playing video games and Category:Video games featuring protagonists of selectable gender yields 428 results as of this writing; about 23% of all role-playing video game articles. Certainly a larger percentage, but still less than a fourth of all role-playing video games covered on English Wikipedia. Ding Chavez (talk) 18:14, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. We talked about this. Is one of the Mass Effect series' most defining features not being able to choose between a male or female Commander Shepard? My opinion remains the same as the 2021 discussion and should not be outright deleted. HarmonyBunny00 (talk) 16:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy delete, very obvious case of WP:C2A (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:21, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting soocer teams in the united states
 * Nominator's rationale: Misspelled category that already exists at Category:Soccer clubs in the United States. I recently emptied it, otherwise I would have proposed it for speedy deletion. Jay eyem (talk) 05:41, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting ibla templates
 * Nominator's rationale: One template. Defunct league. Highly unlikely that new templates get created. –Aidan721 (talk) 02:54, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
