Category:Category:Overseas Chinese Presidents

 * 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 (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 22:46, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting category
 * Nominator's rationale: I think this means 'Politicians of Chinese descent who became President of a country', which seems like too narrow a category. GiantSnowman 15:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge this category into Category:Politicians of Chinese descent instead. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: merge or delete? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 23:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support —  OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk) 18:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. If kept rename to Category:National presidents of Chinese descent aligning with Category:National presidents and Category:People of Chinese descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:23, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merging is unnecessary, the articles are already in Category:Guyanese politicians of Chinese descent etc. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Do not merge per Marcocapelle. NLeeuw (talk) 04:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * Rename Heads of state of Chinese descent (or Heads of state and heads of government of Chinese descent). 58.152.55.172 (talk) 09:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Category:12th-century French novelists

 * 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 (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 22:46, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose merging Category:12th-century French novelists to Category:12th-century novelists
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. The 12th-century novelists category is too small for diffusion by nationality (a.k.a. there's 2 people in the entire tree). Mason (talk) 23:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Category:Independant Native American countries

 * 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 (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 22:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting independant native american countries
 * Nominator's rationale: Or plausibly, just a rename to correct the spelling error. Redundant at best with other categories, the notion of a "country" as we understand it seems dangerously nebulous and unattested in several member articles here. Remsense  诉  22:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom; Native Americans did not have nation states per se, at least not according to the sources I've read. Dubious. 162 etc. (talk) 23:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Possibly rename to Category:Independent Native American confederacies but I am not opposing deletion either. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 15 April 2024 (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: merge both to Category:20th-century Australian artists. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 13:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Visual artists in late 20th-century Australia to Category:Australian contemporary artists/Category:Australian modern artists
 * Propose merging Category:Visual artists in early 20th-century Australia to Category:Australian contemporary artists
 * Nominator's rationale: Can we make these categories more defining? I really don't know what to do with them. Perhaps split by art movement? Mason (talk) 19:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:20th-century Australian artists as the most obvious merge target. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * are you okay with Marco's suggested target? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 22:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm very ok with using the most obvious target. Mason (talk) 22:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy renamed as a straightforward spelling error that didn't require debate. Bearcat (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Canadian mIlitary personnel by city to Category:Canadian military personnel by city
 * Nominator's rationale: There is a typo in the category name, there should not be a capital I inside "military". ☆ Bri (talk) 15:54, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename per WP:C2A, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy rename per WP:C2A. NLeeuw (talk) 04:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary to take a straightforward spelling error like this to CFD for seven full days of discussion, and this could have been handled as a speedy. Dirty deed already done, dirt cheap. Bearcat (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure)  Toadette  ( Let's talk together! ) 21:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting beauty goddesses
 * Nominator's rationale: Vague categorization based on "associated with".  Pepper Beast    (talk)  13:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 04:16, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Why single this one category out from the very large Category:Goddesses by association? Makes no sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Every single category about "deities of x", covers associations. Dimadick (talk) 14:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep The category may need some cleaning up, but the association is fairly common in every pantheon. Invokingvajras (talk) 3:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep Goddesses like Lakshmi are linked with Beauty.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a rare instance in which association may be WP:DEFINING, as deities are defined by what humans believe about them. As examining what or how deities really are, or if they even exist, is beyond human capacity, human beliefs about what they are, and associations about what they do, need to be central in how we categorise them, as long as associations are not WP:UNDUE. NLeeuw (talk) 14:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
