 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  JBchrch   talk  19:25, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting films set in fictional populated places
 * Propose deleting novels set in fictional populated places
 * Nominator's rationale: Far too overbroad a category to conceivably have as a setting. A large percentage of fictional works are set in some type of populated place, many of which are fictional or some type of fictionalized version of a real-world location. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:18, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, it is a kind of WP:OCMISC. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as overly broad, OCMISC.-- Mvqr (talk) 12:48, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - So this could be WP:OCLOCATION if it was to one location, but as it's to any fictional location, this of course is WP:OCMISC, - jc37 04:01, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete These basically merge a film like Man of Steel, set mainly in fictional places on earth and more of less based on the real world, and The Hobbit, set in places like Hobiton, which is inhabited by fictional beings, and in Rivendell, inhabited by other fictional beings, etc. Some works are essentially set in real places even more than Man of Steel, they just use of false name for artistic or liability purposes. Too many unlike things are pushed together.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:13, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:House of Saud. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:46, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Descendants of Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia to Category:House of Saud
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:OVERLAPCAT: with very few exceptions, this category will end as a dump of Category:Kings of Saudi Arabia, Category:Saudi Arabian princes and Category:Saudi Arabian princesses and all of their subcategories because Ibn Saud (i.e. Abdulaziz) was the first king of Saudi Arabia. If kept, rename to Category:Descendents of Ibn Saud per title of article. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:41, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Support as the category in question has more or less the same content as Category:House of Saud. Векочел (talk) 04:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Support as a duplicate.--User:Namiba 03:08, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) but I'll boldly add the article to Category:Country rock musical groups anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting russian country rock groups
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one entry, whose article is already in parent category Category:Russian country music groups. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Support. To establish a musical genre there needs to be a decent population. Rathfelder (talk) 08:46, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * shouldn't it be a merge to Category:Country rock musical groups? Marcocapelle (talk) 13:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
