 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Indian books by writer and purge as suggested by Marcocapelle. (non-admin closure) <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 01:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Books by Indian authors to Category:Indian books by writer
 * Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The category hierarchy is very confusing but these aren't really overlapping categories. e.g. Quichotte (novel) is a book by an Indian (origin) author but isn't an Indian book. I believe this would be the case for books by many authors of Indian origin. I think a restructuring of the category hierarchy is more in order than merging these two categories. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... well, either way the category would need to be renamed to make that clearer. So something like Books by writers of Indian descent? Then the question becomes whether that should be category? Mason (talk) 04:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree on the category name. I believe the category tree needs a relook to sort out the hierarchy and nomenclature. I'm not sure how to go about it, especially since many authors would be affected -- Naipaul, Rushdie, J Lahiri, V Seth etc where their books would fit in one or a few times, both. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  05:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming, re-parenting and populating Category:Alt-right politicians in Europe to Category:Far-right politicians in Europe
 * Propose renaming and re-parenting Category:Alt-right politicians in Oceania to Category:Far-right politicians in Oceania
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, or rename, re-parent and populate, "alt-right" is not a defining characteristic of these politicians. After the rename, several far-right politicians by nationality subcategories can be added to Category:Far-right politicians in Europe. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:27, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Iraqi Revolt has been moved no fewer than 13 times, so its title is not exactly uncontroversial as required by C2D. The last RM at the talk page resulted in no consensus (neither then-current title nor the proposed title at said RM were the now-current title); nom is advised to open an RM in the hopes of consensus.

 * Propose merging Category:Human-derived fictional species to Category:Fictional species and races
 * Nominator's rationale: The category's title is vague and it is unclear what is defining about being derived from humans. Races can look totally human without actually being derived from them whatsoever, races can also look completely inhuman while still being derived from humans, meaning that it is essentially just a minor lore point with no bearing on the race itself. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose Their status as human descendants is not a minor point. Dimadick (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The fact that you believed its about human descendants when it's actually not is further evidence that it's too vague to be a category.
 * While it could be renamed to "Fictional human descendants", it would then rule out most of the articles in the category, most of which are of supernatural or artificial origin. It would only include the Eloi and Morlocks. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose merger, instead rename to Category:Fictional human-descended species. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * For example Abhuman is a term used to distinguish a separation from normal human existence. This has nothing to do with descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:Births circa 1580 to Category:1580s births and Category:Date of birth uncertain
 * Nominator's rationale: Duel merge. Although I agree that the decades don't help bubble situations like this,, the category isn't defining Mason (talk) 18:01, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  17:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * At least merge to Category:1580s births. As for the merge to Category:Date of birth uncertain, I am not sure how uncertain it needs to be in order to become relevant for this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:45, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Merging to Category:1580s births wouldn't work because someone born "circa 1580" could easily have been born in 1579 instead. We would have to merge to category:16th-century births instead, which is rather broad, hence I think these boundary categories do logically supplement the standard decade category. The correct second merge target is Category:year of birth uncertain, not Category:Date of birth uncertain (which itself would be a decent candidate for deletion), and it does seem to meet the criteria for that category, so merge there. I don't see how "births circa 1580" is any less defining than "1580s births". * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 16:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting substack writers
 * Nominator's rationale: Writing for Substack does not seem to be a defining characteristic for any of the people in this category, per WP:COPDEF, WP:DEFINING, WP:CATDEF, WP:BLPCAT, but rather an incidental aspect. The barrier to being a Substack writer appears nil. While some people might be notable as bloggers (Category:Bloggers) regardless of platform, or consistently associated with a certain publication (e.g. Category:The New York Times writers), we don't generally categorize people who just happen to have a particular blog or social media account (e.g. no Category:Tumblr posters or Category:Facebook users or Category:Blogspot.com writers). While having a Substack profile may be verifiable, verifiability is not the same as 'definingness', per WP:NONDEFINING &#45;-Animalparty! (talk) 04:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support in principle, but these should be selectively merged to bloggers, because that's effectively what they are. Mason (talk) 04:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep The recent Atlantic article by Jonathan M. Katz on the politics of Substack writers caused me to review some of the writers and this category is informative.Kmccook (talk) 15:05, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It may be fine to include this information in the Substack article but it does not require a category. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Katz found unspecified "scores" (at least 16!) of writers publishing white-supremacist and/or Nazi content, out of over 17,000 paid writers on Substack (less than 1 percent), and calls it a Nazi problem. Good for him. That doesn't mean Katz, nor anyone else warrants placement in this category, per the above guideline, as well as WP:NOTEVERYTHING. We don't include data or categories merely because it's true or because some might find it useful or interesting. &#45;-Animalparty! (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep and trim (creator). At least some of the people in this category are defined by their writing on Substack, or at least are primarily known for their work as Substack writers.

 * Oppose and suggest the following. First, if these are to be deemed not needed, they need to be merged not deleted. Instead:
 * Propose merging Category:Entertainment events in Boston to Category:Events in Boston and move the articles to Category:Entertainment events in Massachusetts
 * Propose keeping Category:Entertainment events in Massachusetts and build out by state hierarchy –Aidan721 (talk) 13:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Since 12 February nobody stood up to volunteer, so that is apparently not the way to go forward. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: manual rename to Category:Types of groupings. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  20:00, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting grouping
 * Nominator's rationale: I am worried that this category falls under WP:SHAREDNAME, with numerous unrelated categories that simply have the word "group". A move to Category:Groups could fix the issues, but it also may not. Either way, something should probably be done to address the issue. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Purge, limit the category to types of groupings, so mostly to articles rather than subcategories. Maybe rename to Category:Types of groupings. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Rename to Category:Types of groupings and purge per Marco. Groups are well-defined: they are an association of things, so no WP:SHAREDNAME concerns. <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 02:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
