 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:25, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting 2019–2022 persian gulf crisis
 * Nominator's rationale: Category no longer applies since the main article was deleted on September 22, 2022. But since redirected to a section of the main Iran-U.S. relations article titled "2019–2020 escalation in tensions". WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:NONDEF, the articles in the category do not even mention that the events are part of a 2019–2022 crisis. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:54, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Category:Actor model

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:26, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting actor model
 * Nominator's rationale: Category redirect, which was created several years ago when an existing category was moved to a disambiguated name -- the problem was that it is meant for the actor model in computer science, but had a tendency to collect misplaced BLPs of people who were involved in both acting and modelling as occupations, so it was renamed for added clarity about its purpose. But its retention as a category redirect completely defeats the purpose of having renamed it in the first place, because editors still apply it to people who do acting and modelling, which makes it a non-empty category redirect that RussBot comes along to clean out by moving the BLPs to the target category, meaning that the renamed target category still has to be cleaned up for misplaced BLPs of people.

Category:Serbian dictionaries

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:27, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Serbian dictionaries to Category:Serbo-Croatian dictionaries
 * Nominator's rationale: Serbian is a standardized variety of Serbo-Croatian, and the latter does not have a category of its own. The category could be repurposed to contain all current and future articles on dictionaries from the area of the whole language, rather than one of its varieties. -Vipz (talk) 15:47, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Support per WP:SMALLCAT, a Category:Serbo-Croatian dictionaries will have better chances to become reasonably well populated. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:04, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:SMALLCAT, new one, Category:Serbo-Croatian dictionaries, will probably get only few more, but that's still better than having four distinct categories on all four Serbo-Croatian variants, and being populated with one or two each.-- ౪ Santa ౪ 99°  23:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Category:Knights Commander

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:27, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting knights commander
 * Nominator's rationale: I can see no point to this category. It is merely collecting people who held a certain grade in various different orders. These are perfectly well categorised by Category:Knights and its numerous subcats. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:44, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Many of these appear to already be in Category:Knights Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George so there is an WP:OVERLAPCAT issue here. As the nominator points out, there is also a WP:SHAREDNAME issue comingling different awards with similar names. Finally, many categories for specific "commander" awards have been deleted for violating WP:OCAWARD like here, here, and here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:33, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting:
 * languages of royally patronised literature
 * royal court languages
 * Nominator's rationale: Neither of these categories meet WP:CATDEF: being spoken at a royal court, or being used to write literature that's under royal patronage, are not defining features of a language and are only marginally relevant in a language article. – Uanfala (talk) 14:16, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  11:32, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:American Motors automobiles
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT) and WP:C2C, consistency with established category names
 * The only thing in this category is a redirect to AMC Gremlin which is already in Category:AMC vehicles along with dozens of other AMC vehicle articles. The "Foo vehicles" naming format is part of a well established naming convention in the Category:Vehicles by brand tree. I'm open to better ways of categorizing vehicle articles but, if populated, this category seems like it would be a duplicate. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment - as the article is American Motors Corporation, the category names should all follow this. Oculi (talk) 00:16, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Conceptually agree. In this case, the fact that neither of the dueling categories follow the main article may mean a WP:RM is in order to better reflect WP:COMMONNAME. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:24, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Certainly support deletion of this (rather strange) category. Oculi (talk) 13:09, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:1939 New York World's Fair artists
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT)
 * This category is for artists who had a commission at one of the many pavilions at the 1939 New York World's Fair: painter Albert Edward Cloutier made a mural for the Canadian pavilion, garden designer Percy Stephen Cane did the landscaping for the British pavilion, and architect Alvar Aalto designed the Finnish pavilion building. The Pablo Picasso article doesn't mention the fair at all. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
