 * The result of the discussion was: keep and nest under European people. (non-admin closure) <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 01:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:People from the Republic of Geneva to Category:????
 * Nominator's rationale: I would like some clarity on the nested category structure. Are people from the Republic of Geneva nested under Swiss people? I (and ) interpret them as being nested, however, one other user, does not, and has removed Genevan people from Swiss categories (when there isn't a Geneva specific version), claiming that they are "incorrect"(see User_talk:Smasongarrison and Talk:Marie-Aim%C3%A9e_Lullin for recent examples. Mason (talk) 18:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep, the point of the category is that Geneva was an independent city state, it did not belong to the Swiss Conferacy. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:14, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Marcocapelle, I also think it should be kept. Can you share your thoughts on the relationship between the categories? "Are people from the Republic of Geneva nested under Swiss people?" Mason (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, that is plain wrong, they should be under European. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, and nest under European people. Geneva was an independant city state for almost three hundred years, and did not join the Swiss Confederacy before 1815. Before that it was alternately under Savoy rule and Church rule, and at the very end under French rule. So I agree with Marcocapelle that it should not be nested under Swiss people, but under European people.
 * Swiss categories could however stay as parent categories, if deemed a convenient classification tool, but should not appear directly in the pages categories as this would convey false information, especially when a precise time indication is featured: a category of the type « 18th-century Swiss such-and-such » labelling a citizen of the Republic of Geneva conveys the false information that Geneva was in Switzerland in the eighteenth century, and this is unworthy of an encyclopedia.
 * The comparison often made with Italy in order to justify Swiss nesting doesn’t stand: Italy has been called « Italia » as a region for more than two thousand years; Tacitus calls it thus in his Historiae. There is no such old established name regarding Switzerland, which derives its name from the small Canton of Schwytz, and was not used to designate territories before they actually joined (or were invaded by...) the Swiss Cantons.--Sapphorain (talk) 22:10, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Category:Fictional American characters of Indian descent was untagged. I have tagged it now. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  14:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Since these have a different naming convention, the editor who recreated these would not have been aware of the prior consensus. But the onus here should really be on the creator to describe why these are different or how they comply with the editing guidelines, otherwise be deleted per WP:G4. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete All These have the same combination of WP:OR, WP:OVERLAPCAT, and WP:OCEGRS as the last time. The reliable sources in Johnny Gat list the character as Asian American but the voice artist is Korean American so Wikipedia editors have made the determination the character is also Korean American. Samurai (Super Friends) is listed under both Japanese and Japanese American super hero categories (without evidence of emigration) but is really defined by being a fictional Samurai so I added him to Category:Fictional samurai. Chloe Frazer actually belongs in the category tree but, in addition to being described as of Indian ancestry, she is also "sexually forward" and a "reckless adventurer"; the ancestry is one line in the backstory among many and not defining. I'm not cherry picking articles here, those were the first three I clicked on. - RevelationDirect (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete all Per RevelationDirect. Dubious confirmation of the characters' descents is a major issue, but even if they were all correct it would fall under WP:OCEGRS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete all: Per that pretty much covers it all. --  Otr500 (talk) 04:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete all. In addition to WP:G4, in most cases fictional characters are actually not defined by their ancestry as most have no fictional ancestry specified, with exceptions. They are, however, defined by ethnic stereotypes more often than real people, but that's not what these categories are for. Place Clichy (talk) 17:27, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

 * @Qwerfjkl, any reason you relisted this though? Genuinely curious because the consensus is unanimous. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:16, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Omnis Scientia all categories must be tagged for a week before closure, to allow time for adequate discussion. As I noted in my relisting comment, one of the categories was untagged, so the discussion now needs to be open for another week.  Qwerfjkl  talk  20:00, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Qwerfjkl, ah, I see! Thank you, I didn't know that! Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete all ( pinged ): Per (WP:OR, WP:OVERLAPCAT, and WP:OCEGRS) and  ("fictional characters are actually not defined by their ''ancestry"). Going too deep, as well as categories that aid in misrepresentation, hinders aid to navigation because of category clutter with unnecessary overcategorization. Wikipedia editors should not "have made the determination" for dual categorization (Johnny Gat) without sources. It is not only a misrepresentation but blatant group WP:original research.  -- Otr500 (talk) 16:49, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Gabonese women by century to Category:Gabonese women
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need for a category with only a single category in it. Mason (talk) 02:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. Even with a second subcategory in it this would still be a redundant category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:21st-century Gabonese rappers to Category:Gabonese rappers and Category:21st-century Gabonese musicians
 * Nominator's rationale: upmerge for now. there's not enough people in this category to justify diffusion. (only page member is already in 21st century American rappers) Mason (talk) 02:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SMALLCAT. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. For the record, you have been made aware several times that smallcat is no longer wikipedia policy. Mason (talk) 06:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Koavf, courtesy ping in case you missed this comment. Mason is right about WP:SMALLCAT no longer being Wikipedia policy but you have brought it up a few times while voting in a bunch of recent Cfds. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:19, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Diffs to your claim, please? ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @Koavf, Here's the first two i dug up.  Mason (talk) 22:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Since you did not notify me, I did not see the claims either time. If you want to ensure that I see them, please make sure to ping me, as I don't typically follow the ins and outs of CfDs after I comment. Thanks for these and for your earlier comments. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 *  Delete Upmerge per nom. Neither Category:Gabonese rappers or Category:21st-century Gabonese musicians are populated enough to require such diffusion. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 05:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Dual merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I changed my mind. Just delete since the only article is about an American musician rather than Gabonese. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:38, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:17, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * He is also Gabonese. You can be both. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You can, but there is nothing in the article that suggests he is. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
