 * Propose merging Category:American child actresses by ethnic or national origin to Category:American child actresses

Category:Female mass murderers

 * 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: no consensus. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Female mass murderers to Category:Mass murderers
 * Propose merging Category:Fictional female mass murderers to Category:Fictional mass murderers
 * Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OCEGRS with no such real-life category or indication this is a notable intersection. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:27, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: Should be also merged to Fictional female murderers Mason (talk) 20:46, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There is "no such real-life category" about this? That's a factually incorrect claim, see Category:Female mass murderers. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Apologies, let me rephrase that - there WAS no such category until it was created by you and it's disingenuous to imply it existed previously. I will also be nominating that category for merging as there is no clear evidence WP:OCEGRS is passed by either of them. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Still oppose. See Category:Female assassins, Category:Female serial killers, and other subcategories of Category:Female murderers. As long as there's female subcategories for assassins and serial killers, then why not mass murderers or spree killers too? AHI-3000 (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Female serial killers is very clearly not a WP:OCEGRS violation, as there are many reliable sources about the phenomenon. Category:Female assassins was created by you, so it's not a valid thing to point to as a counterpoint of "pre-existing" categories. If you can prove that it is a notable intersection I'm fine with withdrawing the nomination, but you would have to demonstrate that is a phenomenon separate from simply being female and a murderer. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I disagree, Category:Female serial killers is not very clearly a non-violation of WP:OCEGRS any more or any less than Category:Female mass murderers. Sincerely, Thinker78  (talk) 22:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete/merge, trivial intersection with gender. Category:Female mass murderers can just be deleted because the articles are in Category:Mass murderers by nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:30, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as a notable intersection as defined by existing sources: Women Serial and Mass Murderers: A Worldwide Reference, 1580 Through 1990, Female Serial Killers By Don Rauf and so on.--User:Namiba 16:27, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The nomination is not about Category:Female serial killers though. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Discussed intersection of crime and gender, should be kept.
 * A Female Mass Murder
 * Women Serial and Mass Murderers: A Worldwide Reference, 1580 Through 1990
 * An Exploration of Female Mass Shooters
 * Notable for being rare it seems. Also the relevant serial killer category exists, and if you look closely a lot of works titled around female serial killers also discuss female mass killers (sometimes people just call them as one thing) PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Mason (talk) 02:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge they should already be subcatted by nationality, not convinced WP:OCEGRS doesn't apply. SportingFlyer  T · C  21:40, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Does it apply any less than with the serial killers? Crime and gender is a very discussed intersection. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:34, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Video game gameplay to Category:Video game design
 * Nominator's rationale: There seems to be a large WP:OVERLAPCAT in this case. It's possible the articles here need to be merged into game design or the subcategory Category:Video game terminology. Category:Gameplay doesn't exist either, making this category sort of stand alone. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:59, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose They're two distinct categories and less overlap than I thought there would be. One deals with gameplay elements, the other more with how to design elements. SportingFlyer  T · C  19:52, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep but purge gameplay. Things like Category:Cheating in video games‎ and speedrunning are gameplay, but Category:Video games with AI-versus-AI modes‎ are about design. <b style="font-family:Courier New;">House Blaster </b> (talk · he/him) 01:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose splitting Category:2019 crimes in New Mexico to Category:2019 in New Mexico and Category:2010s crimes in New Mexico
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one page in here, and it's a redirect, which isn't helpful for navigation. Redirect is already in February 2019 crimes in the United States, so no need to 3x merge Mason (talk) 04:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Dual merge It is not the size that is troubling here. We do not have annual categories for crime events in each of the U.S. States, and most crimes just get inserted in the "year x in state x" categories. Several of these categories are already underpopulated and don't need subcategories of their own. Dimadick (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:16th-century Danish medallists to Category:16th-century medallists
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one artist in each category, which isn't helpful for navigation. Also, the only page in the 16th-century is about a German medalist Anton Meybusch active in Copenhagen. Mason (talk) 00:51, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom. I would leave Anton Meybusch in the Danish tree. It is difficult to determine nationality other than based on place where people live and that applies even more to older centuries. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's fair. I've now added the relevant categories to Anton, so they'll be in both german and danish cats. Mason (talk) 14:12, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting albums arranged by tony glover
 * Propose deleting albums arranged by john koerner
 * Propose deleting albums arranged by dave ray
 * Nominator's rationale: Redundant to the albums by producer categories Category:Albums arranged by John Koerner, Category:Albums produced by John Koerner, and Category:Albums produced by Dave Ray. Arrangers of non-big band or jazz albums, particulary post-1950s, is non-defining. Often times the arrangers are only mentioned in the personnel sections and no more defining than who played guitar or harmonica on such albums.

 * Keep. Merging this will not help navigation at all - it will only make it more difficult to navigate articles, something that goes against the purpose of the entire reason we have categories. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:08, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not true, after merging it will become easier to navigate to e.g. Category:Loyola Greyhounds football players because you no longer have to scroll a level up. (Added after relisting.) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:58, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * As I explained here, it might make it one click easier for those who only want to find those, but then you might as well suggest merging every college football category in existence so as to stop the extremely laborious act of making one click. Sarcasm aside, it is more beneficial as I explained in the aforementioned link to keep them separate; when looking for college football team categories by seasons, the most likely way one would try to find this, this would no longer appear, giving the appearance that they don't exist...something not helpful... BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:30, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You can still easily get from 1925 Loyola Green and Gray football team to other teams via Category:1925 college football season. Moreover this way you'll get to the articles of the very same year as 1925 Loyola Green and Gray football team. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
