Category:Classical antiquity in modern art and culture

 * 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: keep. A discussion about a possible renaming did not yield a clear consensus. Editors are welcome to flesh it out in a new CFD. (non-admin closure)  JBchrch   talk  14:40, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting classical antiquity in modern art and culture
 * Nominator's rationale: Unclear/confusing scope. There is no article defining the concept (main/parent article). We don't have category trees for "in modern art and culture", nor "in art and culture". This is a subcat to Category:Topics in culture and Category:Topics in the arts, as far as I can tell, the only such category merging parent cats into one. It has spawned three children: Category:Ancient Greece in art and culture, Category:Hellenistic period in modern art and culture, Category:Roman Empire in art and culture, the latter with Category:Ancient Rome in art and culture. I suggest deleting it as well as the four named child categories as the simplest solution, I don't think there'll be any information loss.

 * It is not clear why these categories should be deleted. Deletion will obviously lead to a loss of navigation routes. Rescoping, renaming and/or splitting seem to be more plausible options. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:53, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Rename - Some of the subcategories are "cultural depictions of ..." or "in popular culture". The latter is deplored as liable to attract trivia.  I suspect that Category:Cultural depictions of classical antiquity might be an appropriate rename, for what should probably be a container.  But purge any trivia.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Peterkingiron That could work, although per my comments at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Culture I'd suggest Category:Classical antiquity in culture (for consistency with Category:Topics in culture, which is not Category:Cultural depictions of topics. Note that if renamed, such a category would indeed need pruning from irrelevant entries. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:54, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems fine and navigation-worthy. No trivia (as if there's something wrong with trivia). Deletion runs really need to focus on the worse of the worse and not good topics such as this. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Rename - seems like the best consensus per the arguments above. -  GizzyCatBella  🍁  19:41, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment (voted above). I have no strong view on the article name, and would not stand out against a consensus as to the target.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Randy Kryn. This is one of our better category trees. This is the actual impact of antiquity in subsequent centuries. Dimadick (talk) 13:31, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, underdeveloped tree with 1-3 articles in each of these country categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Support as WP:SOFTDELETE, i.e. any of these may be re-created if there are 5+ pages to put in them. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:47, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Free bioimaging software to Category:Free medical software, Category:Free bioinformatics software and Category:Free image viewers

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Miracle workers.   Arbitrarily0   ( talk ) 22:16, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wonderworkers to Category:Miracle workers
 * Nominator's rationale: Umm, I'm not sure quite what process led this category to this point, but the WP:COMMONNAME for someone who performs miracles is just "miracle worker" - and this is the case by a considerable margin: a fact which a simple Ngrams search makes really quite evident. 'Wonderworkers' is archaic, odd English and not the typical way anyone would ever refer to this grouping. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Support, as the proposed name will be more easily understood. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:59, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge.  ✗  plicit  13:24, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Stations of Dhaka Metro by area to Category:Stations of Dhaka Metro Category:Dhaka Metro stations
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer, containing only one sub-cat and with no other parents. Note: target has been nominated for speedy renaming to Category:Dhaka Metro stations. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:12, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: It is not unnecessary. The category is for stations by area. People will understand which stations situated in the area. Mehedi Abedin 13:15, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom, the intermediate layer merely hinders easy navigation. People will also understand which stations are situated in Uttara when that category is directly under Category:Stations of Dhaka Metro. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:15, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
