 * The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Anti-immigration activism in Germany to Category:Anti-immigration politics in Germany
 * Propose renaming Category:Anti-immigration activism in Norway to Category:Anti-immigration politics in Norway
 * Nominator's rationale: To match the larger categories e.g. Category:Anti-immigration politics by country and Category:Anti-immigration politics in Europe. User:Namiba 18:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support, in practice it is a very political topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:10, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Category:Mexicali Aquilas players

 * 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. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:24, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Mexicali Aquilas players to Category:Mexicali Aguilas players
 * Nominator's rationale: This team was known as the 'Aguilas,' which translates to 'Eagles.' I'm not sure where "Aquilas" is coming from. There's already a Category:Águilas de Mexicali players for players with the same-named team that was formed in 1970 so I don't know if it should be merged or what. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 03:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  13:10, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note - neither of the articles in Category:Mexicali Aquilas players mention  Mexicali so the category has no basis. Oculi (talk) 19:50, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Rename as proposed by nom. There's a bit of evidence pointing to Jorge Orta having played with the Águilas before he was on the White Sox. TartarTorte 00:14, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Then this evidence should be included in the article and sourced. There is not even an article for Mexicali Aquilas (or Mexicali Aguilas). Oculi (talk) 10:34, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Purge (hence delete) per Oculi. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Purge (hence delete) to clarify my position. Oculi (talk) 14:41, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Note for the record, and to distinguish from the current Águilas de Mexicali, user:Spanneraol added this explanation in 2011: This is for players of the Mexicali Aquilas minor league baseball team, who played in the Sunset League from 1948-1949 and the Mexican Northern League from 1968-1969. – Fayenatic  L ondon 07:48, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Note: Denniscabrams has stated in an edit summary that Jorge Orta played for this team (and others), but neither he nor TartarTorte have yet provided citations for this. – Fayenatic  L ondon 20:47, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This has nothing to do with this discussion but I'll humor you anyway, Fayenatic. The first, most obvious place to look is his Baseball-Reference page which is linked at the bottom of his article, as it is for all professional baseball players. I'm surprised that you have taken such a keen interest in this article without even being familiar with Baseball-Reference. Beyond that, there are plenty of other sources like this book. You can also do a cursory Newspapers.com search and find several dozen results. --Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 21:16, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Denniscabrams. I had attempted to search those reference pages for Mexicali, but had not realised that on the the Baseball Reference page it would be necessary to first click on the tab for minor/Mexican leagues. This does confirm that Orta played for them in 1971, and that the team name is Aguilas not Aquilas. also confirms that Rudy Hernández (shortstop) played for them too (not Áquilas de Mexicali, as categorised by MusiCitizen). That gives two verified member articles for the category. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:49, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I still agree with Oculi that a category should not be added to an article without explicitly mentioning - and preferably elaborating on - the fact in the body text of the article. Categories are summaries of articles, they should not provide information on their own. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy keep Ah, thank you for the explanation, now I got it. Privybst (talk) 15:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Categories by century and country to Category:Categories by country and century
 * Nominator's rationale: Confusing names of the categories. Why not to merge? Privybst (talk) 14:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - these are quite different: compare eg Category:Churches by country and century with Category:Churches by century and country. This said, some of the subcats of Category:Categories by country and century look wrong to me. Oculi (talk) 15:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:35, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Death care companies to Category:Funeral-related companies
 * Nominator's rationale: The current name has drawn negative reactions from outside the United States at Categories for discussion/Log/2022 September 10, to the point that participants are reluctant to upmerge single-member subcats to this category purely because of its name. "Funeral-related companies" was chosen for the UK sub-cat at Categories for discussion/Log/2022 September 2. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:35, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Category:Fictional avatars

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:20, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional avatars to Category:Fictional deities
 * Nominator's rationale: Members of this category are mostly WP:OR and are pretty unlikely to have been actually classified as avatars, save for a few select characters like Aang. I suggest it should be merged into deities, while removing the characters who are not explicitly deities in their fictional works. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:09, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose this way, many articles in this category are not about fictional deities. But it does make sense to move a number of subcategories to Category:Fictional deities. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:59, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I purged three subcategories, they still are part of the Category:Fictional deities tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose No idea who Aang is. Every single Doctor Fate (male or female) is an avatar of the Mesopotamian god Nabu, Jean Grey (and several of her female relatives) are avatars of a deified phoenix, Juggernaut is an avatar of the fictional god Cyttorak, Moondragon is an avatar of the evil deity Dragon of the Moon. These people are mortal incarnations of various deities, and avatars are material appearance or incarnations of deities and spirits. Dimadick (talk) 13:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
