 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Military novels. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 02:40, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Novels about the military to Category:Military novels
 * Nominator's rationale: Per other similar categories like Category:Military fiction and Category:Military memoirs. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:37, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 02:40, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Cybernetted society in fiction to Category:Fiction about smart cities
 * Nominator's rationale: The title of the category does not appear anywhere else. I think the idea of smart cities can describe the subject fairly well. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:31, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak delete, while reading the articles it looks like an OR type of characterization. Some articles are in the tree of Category:Techno-thrillers, that looks better, but this is obviously not applicable to the many video games in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, appears to be an invented concept. The genre being described here is cyberpunk and everything here fits fine into Category:Cyberpunk and its subcategories (e.g. Category:Cyberpunk media). At a glance, these pages seem to generally already belong to appropriate subcategories, so I don't think anything is lost by deleting. Dylnuge  (Talk • Edits) 21:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT (1 article each). Not enough content per year at this stage of the tree. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. I do not know enough about the topic to understand why article creation only really kicks off in the year 2006. If in a later stage more articles are being created for the years before 2006, then by all means re-create the categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. I have no objection to re-creation of categories if expansion requires. Paulpat99 (talk) 02:27, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment To note, all but the Norway category were already involved in a CfD discussion in the section below (albeit a large nomination for renaming). Having multiple CfDs for the same categories is probably best avoided to prevent confusion. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I could withraw these, so we could further discuss it. As most of them being more useful as unisex. But your renaming nomination below for these smallcats are similarly pointless. Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting bangladesh under-23 cricketers
 * Propose deleting under-23 cricketers by nationality
 * Propose deleting under-23 cricketers
 * Nominator's rationale: bangladesh under-23 cricketers is WP:NOTDEFINING, as Bangladesh under-23 have played 5 matches in their history according to Bangladesh national under-23 cricket team (and 2 of them weren't ranked as proper matches anyway). Under-23s cricket teams are not a common feature of cricket (unlike e.g. men's football, where the Olympics has under-23s teams), and so this category is unnecessary. If this category is deleted, then its parent and grandparent categories will be empty, so can be deleted too. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Obviously Latin America is by country, so it would be a manual merge. But others are further divided by regions and minority ethnicities. There are rarely consistent merge targets.

 * The result of the discussion was: No Consensus to merge/delete. - jc37 02:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:German female erotic dancers to Category:German female dancers
 * Nominator's rationale: The members of this category may have given performances that might today be called "erotic" but that is not a defining characteristic of any of them. I propose moving them up a level to Category:German female dancers to better encompass the range of what they did. Northernhenge (talk) 10:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This discussion has so far centred on Erotic dance and Category:Erotic dancers but, to be clear, the intended proposal was to take the current members of Category:German female erotic dancers out of that tree and put them into Category:German female dancers. Any discussion around Category:Erotic dancers would need to take place seperately. --Northernhenge (talk) 22:27, 9 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Comment Could someone please improve the main article Erotic dance first, before we start categorising people of this occupation by nationality to gender? And then having to judge whether they were properly categorised? It would help a lot with determining what makes it "defining" to do this for a living, and what the difference is between, say, an "erotic dancer" and a "stripper", and whether they are all "sex workers" or just some of them. The main article has ZERO references and just 1 book as a source. We can't make things up as we go along, we need to base our information and categories on something. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There is a huge tree based under Category:Erotic dancers and the articles in the top category are Stripper and List of strippers. Should we rename all these categories to "strippers"? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hm, only one of the four articles in this particular category mentions stripping. I disagree with nom that erotic is not defining though. Either keep the category or (per WP:SMALLCAT) dual merge to Category:German female dancers and Category:Female erotic dancers. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

 * 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: RESTORE STATUS QUO ANTE These and several other categories were moved out of process and must be reverted to their original location before any discussion can proceed. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional women assassins to Category:Fictional female assassins
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional women soldiers and warriors to Category:Fictional female soldiers and warriors
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional women ninja to Category:Fictional female ninja
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional women secret agents and spies to Category:Fictional female secret agents and spies
 * Nominator's rationale: Moved without discussion. In the case of fictional characters, this is incorrect. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 03:04, 20 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Indeed, this may be incorrect for non-humanoid entries (if present), but we do prefer "women" to "female" all through our categories. So why not recategorize the non-humanoid entries? Materialscientist (talk) 03:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Having a female appearance or female-appearing attributes, does not make a character a human woman. And there is no purpose served to duplicate all of the categories to include ones for characters that we presume are human. Or in other words, this would be a lot of WP:OR. - jc37 04:42, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Exactly - even in the "Female assassins" category, there is Cameron (Terminator), a female android, and Gamora (Marvel Cinematic Universe), a female alien. They aren't humans and it would be misleading to categorize everyone under human terms. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:11, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not quite see the problem. With humanoid fictional characters we can only assess if they look and sound similarly to earthly women. So either women is good enough, or we should entirely stop categorizing non-humanoids by gender. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * And in many, if not most, cases, that would be WP:OR
 * That said, I fully support not categorising fictional characters by gender. It's just not a determination that we should be making, and definitely not through the category system. Merge them all to non-gendered categories. - jc37 06:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Let's put this another way. If we are basing this upon "appearing to be female" then what about transgender characters? A particular character may appear to be male, or may appear to be female. How should they be categorised? And further, how do we know concerning a character in a text-only medium, like a book? Based upon a textual description? Based upon pronouns? Again, we're back to WP:OR. - jc37 06:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I actually oppose categorizing by gender for precisely this reason and others, at least for fictional characters but consensus was to retain the gender-based split. If you think it should be merged into a single, genderless category, I will gladly !vote on whatever CfD you do. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Being an avid recent changes patroller, I often observe WP:OR or edit warring on identifying gender of fictional or animated characters. Oftentimes, I feel that the creators did not actually want to define any gender. Hence I would only support genderless categorization in this case.
