Category:Video games with underwater settings

 * 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 to Category:Video games set underwater. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:42, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Video games with underwater settings to Category:Video games set underwater
 * Nominator's rationale: Name change for consistency with other categories in Category:Video games by setting. I am nominating this instead of doing a speedy renaming just in case there's an issue I missed as to why the category is better off at its current name. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:40, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * An alternate name is Category:Underwater video games, similar to Category:Underwater novels, but I am worried that might cause confusion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:46, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Category:Underwater novels should probably be renamed, per other subcats of Category:Novels by ecological setting. - jc37 10:43, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename as nominated, clearer name. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Category:Syrian LGBT people by century

 * 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: delete. As Marcocapelle said, there is zero practical difference between the merge proposal and the delete nomination. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:07, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting syrian lgbt people by century
 * Propose deleting 20th-century syrian lgbt people
 * Propose deleting 21st-century syrian lgbt people
 * Nominator's rationale: There are currently only 2 LGBT Syrians with articles. Far too few to justify breaking them down into different centuries. JDDJS  ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 20:41, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge 20th-century Syrian LGBT people and 21st-century Syrian LGBT people into Syrian LGBT people and their respective 20th-century Syrian people category. No opposition to recreation if they are better populated.Mason (talk) 00:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Just delete, the articles are already in Category:Syrian gay men. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 00:21, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting assyrian ethnic groups
 * Nominator's rationale: Duplicated by and its subcategories. This category has a list of Assyrians in  articles, and it's not even complete. Place Clichy (talk) 20:18, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, I might have voted differently if the category would have contained ethnic groups, but there are just diaspora articles here. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 21:26, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting chaldean catholic church in the united sates
 * Nominator's rationale: Redirect category from an unlikely typo, as such not eligible to speedy deletion. I don't think it is worth keeping it. Place Clichy (talk) 19:45, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Support deletion but I think technically this should be listed at WP:RFD. –Aidan721 (talk) 19:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, redirects with typos are useless. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional indigenous people of the Arctic. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 21:30, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional aboriginal people in the Polar regions to Category:Fictional indigenous people of the Arctic
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, duplicate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:38, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. AHI-3000 (talk) 00:46, 11 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge. I took the liberty to copy the description of the older category to the target, adapting it a bit. One difference in scope is that the former category theoretically includes peoples who, in fiction, would be associated with Antarctica, but there are currently no such articles. Place Clichy (talk) 20:00, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional people by continent and ethnic or national descent to Category:Fictional people by continent
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional people by region and ethnic or national descent to Category:Fictional people by region
 * Nominator's rationale: rename, per actual content, more concise. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:32, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Place Clichy (talk) 19:49, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I added a sibling to the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:14, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Chaldean Americans. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 21:10, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:American Chaldeans to Category:Chaldean Americans
 * Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories. Place Clichy (talk) 16:51, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge, for sure these are duplicates. A further merge to Category:American people of Iraqi-Assyrian descent etc. might be an option. The main article Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Syriacs in the United States redirects to Assyrian Americans. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Category:People from Winneba

 * 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: merge to Category:People from Central Region (Ghana). (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 21:09, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:People from Winneba to Category:People from Central Region (Ghana)
 * Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated "People from [Place]" category. As always, categories of this type are not automatically created the moment there are just one or two people from that place to file in it -- there would need to be at least five people with Wikipedia articles to file here before a dedicated category was needed, and below five the people should just be filed in the most appropriate higher-level category (such as by region). As I'm not highly knowledgeable about Ghana, I'm perfectly willing to withdraw this if somebody with more knowledge of Winneba can find more people to file here, but it isn't needed for just three people. Bearcat (talk) 16:37, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge for now with no prejudice to recreation. There is no Category:Winneba either, the benefit of a stand-alone people category is limited. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:44, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting syrian people of arab descent
 * Nominator's rationale: Delete as an unnecessary layer, see other nominations below. Kpratter (talk) 12:19, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. "Arab" descent categories were unfortunately used as container categories for Arabic-speaking countries or countries of the Arab league, which is wrong as WP:CATDEF and WP:EGRS would suggest to use ethnic categories only for people who identify with an ethnicity and are consistently defined as such by reliable sources. This usage is wrong, it is better to use regional container descent categories such as Middle Eastern descent or North African descent. Place Clichy (talk) 14:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, these are people with ancestors who lived in another majority-Arab country, but they are often Arabs themselves. This is just very confusing. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Remove as an unnecessary layer; refer to other nominations below. Furthermore, most of these individuals are Jews and would be quite surprised to discover that they are categorized as people of Arab descent. Kpratter (talk) 09:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge/delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Turkic Christians to Category:Christians by ethnicity
 * Propose deleting turkic buddhists
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:EGRS/I: intersection between language family and religion is not defining. Note that out of the category's current content, only child may in fact need to be upmerged, the other three articles (Chuvash people, Gagauz people, Urums) being about ethnic groups at large who predominantly practice Christianity, not individual people (WP:SEPARATE). Place Clichy (talk) 07:54, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The second category is a mixture of a 7th-century dynasty (Tokhara Yabghus) and two ethnic groups unrelated besides speaking a Turkic-family language (Khotons, Yugurs). The fist article is already in . This second category breaks the pattern of categories for people vs. for ethnic groups at large (WP:SEPARATE). I don't think there is an appropriate merge target, as we don't categorize ethnic groups by religion, except for which is not the case here. Other parent categories  and  are nonsensical as none of the articles relates to either Turkey or Europe.  courtesy ping. Place Clichy (talk) 14:37, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Assassinated politicians by time to Category:Assassinated politicians
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:32, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Spanish people in Spanish controlled parts of Italy to Category:Spanish expatriates in Italy
 * Nominator's rationale: overlapping, under populate category Mason (talk) 03:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge or perhaps plainly delete, these were just Spanish people in the Spanish Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, these are not expatriates. Subjects of the Crown of Aragon moved or were assigned to crown lands as several parts of the same monarchy. Place Clichy (talk) 07:55, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge/rename. Previous discussion at Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 29. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:48, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Emigrants from the Kingdom of Scotland to Category:Scottish emigrants
 * Propose renaming Category:Emigrants from the Kingdom of Scotland to the Tsardom of Russia to Category:Scottish emigrants to the Tsardom of Russia
 * Nominator's rationale: Same logic as the rest of the merges, regime isn't defining for Kingdom of Scotland emmigrants. Overlapping category: the intersection with regime isn't defining for emigrants/expatriates Mason (talk) 00:17, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Procedural objection, the other three subcategories should be nominated as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * They were nominated. Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 29 Mason (talk) 19:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Apologies, it is clear that I did not have a look at the category pages of the other three. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:09, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I also apologize for not catching this one straggler earlier. Otherwise, I would have bundled them all together. Mason (talk) 18:57, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge/rename per nom. –Aidan721 (talk) 22:41, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
