Category:Single-photon detectors

 * 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: keep. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Single-photon detectors to Category:Single photon detectors
 * Nominator's rationale: New category matches existing Commons category. Fixes discrepancy: "Commons category link is locally defined". Kerel-fs (talk) 22:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I guess the reverse rename should take place at Commons, per e.g. Superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per @Marcocapelle. When opening this CfD I did not consider the reverse renaming in Commons. After this CfD is closed the rename in Commons can be performed.Kerel-fs (talk) 12:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: dual merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:49, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Coptic painters to Category:Coptic artists and Category:Egyptian painters
 * Propose splitting Category:Coptic sculptors to Category:Coptic artists and Category:Egyptian sculptors
 * Nominator's rationale: Dual merge for now. These categories is underpopulated, and should be upmerged. It doesn't help navigation to have only a handful of people in here Mason (talk) 22:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Dual merge, these people's art is unrelated to their Coptic ethnicity. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) 2pou (talk) 08:25, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Course of action unclear but this category is populated with only three names. Not sure what category creator was thinking but ...
 * Nominator's rationale: as stated above. 2600:1017:B817:8730:0:62:8A5E:7F01 (talk) 21:24, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. There are 3 major categories in this, English, Welsh, Scottish. From your description, it seems suspiciously underpopulated, but in reality there are numerous people in the standard child categories. Mason (talk) 22:03, 14 January 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: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting fictional characters with dream manipulation abilities
 * Nominator's rationale: Too vague. Even I have dream manipulation abilities if I wanted to learn how to lucid dream. The truly supernatural kind can be classified under any number of powers and abilities, but in itself doesn't seem defining. It should be deleted or dispersed as appropriate (i.e. to psychics or characters who can use magic). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete, these are mostly superheroes and supervillains with a long list of abilities. The few articles for which this is defining may be moved to Category:Fiction about dreams. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:32, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  16:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional illusionists to Category:Fictional superhuman illusionists
 * Nominator's rationale: If this category is to stay, it really needs to be more clearly separate from fictional magicians. Alternatively, maybe it should be dispersed. Is being an illusionist defining for all these characters? ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:15, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NONDEF. I would expect fictional performing artists here, per Magic (illusion), but they are not here. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:45, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Negro league baseball announcers

 * 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:Negro league baseball personnel. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting negro league baseball announcers
 * Nominator's rationale: Has only one page and is unlikely to grow. The only article is already in appropriate subcats of Category:American sports announcers. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and presumably also per WP:EGRS. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:47, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I would say WP:EGRS doesn't apply here because sports leagues have their own announcer categories (some further divided by teams). If this category can be populated, I would withdraw this nomination. But, unfortunately, I don't think it can grow. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:31, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge to Negro league baseball. I concur that this doesn't violate WP:EGRS as this was a league.  Mason (talk) 22:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Smasongarrison, I agree with merging it with the parent cat. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:32, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge To Category:Negro league baseball Category:Negro league baseball personnel . I actually don't share the WP:EGRS concern since this was a deliberately segregated set of sports leagues, but WP:NARROWCAT applies since there's only 1 article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @RevelationDirect, @Marcocapelle, @Smasongarrison, I created a new category Category:Negro league baseball personnel (matching for Category:Major League Baseball personnel) for people who don't fit the remaining. If you agree, Category:Negro league baseball announcers should be merged to this one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support this good suggestion Mason (talk) 14:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure, that works better. Updated my Merge iVote above. - RevelationDirect (talk) 22:47, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge to above target. Let&#39;srun (talk) 15:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @RevelationDirect, I assume you meant to change your vote to "merge with Category:Negro league baseball personnel", created to house all people associated with the Negro leagues. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, you're right. Recorrected my earlier post (without leaving further strikethrus). - 01:32, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:African-American inventors to Category:American inventors
 * Propose merging Category:Alaska Native inventors and scientists to Category:American inventors
 * Nominator's rationale: Per previous Cfd on "Jewish American inventors" - WP:EGRS. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Support in principle, but I assume that all articles are already in a subcategory by century and/or by state, so that the nominated categories can simply be deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:35, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with deletion. It seems as though all articles are in an appropriate subcategory. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep there are countless sources which specifically discuss African-American inventors as a unique topic, see for an example. There is also List of African-American inventors and scientists and List of Alaska Native inventors and scientists.--User:Namiba 19:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep per @Namiba Mason (talk) 19:12, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Smasongarrison, the lists exists so the categories aren't necessary. Given previous precedence, shouldn't these ones be deleted as well? Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep African American/Neutral on Alaska Native George Washington Carver, Mark Dean, and Percy Lavon Julian are all known as African Americans who overcame discrimination to become prominent inventors, as noted in List of African-American inventors and scientists. Hopefully there is some historical cutoff point after which African Americans are well represented as inventors and we can put an end date on these categories, e.g. Category:20th-century African-American inventors. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:30, 15 January 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/delete/rename. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming merging Category:1916 establishments in Hejaz to Category:1916 establishments in Saudi Arabia Category:1916 establishments in Asia, Category:20th-century establishments in the Arabian Peninsula and Category:Kingdom of Hejaz
 * Propose renaming deleting Category:1916 in Hejaz to Category:1916 in Saudi Arabia
 * Propose deleting Category:20th century in Hejaz
 * Propose deleting renaming Category:20th-century establishments in Hejaz to Category:20th-century establishments in the Arabian Peninsula
 * Propose deleting Category:Years of the 20th century in Hejaz
 * Propose deleting Category:1910s in Hejaz
 * Propose deleting Category:1910s establishments in Hejaz
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in Hejaz by decade
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in Hejaz by year
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in Hejaz by century
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in Hejaz


 * Nominator's rationale: The 1916 category for Hejaz riyal is the only page categorised in this hierarchy. Saudi Arabia strictly began in 1925 but 4 other pages are categorised in Category: Establishments in Saudi Arabia by year before that date, and it will be more useful for navigation to categorise this one likewise. The Hejaz riyal was the start of the Saudi riyal anyway. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: I have now tagged Category:Establishments in Hejaz by year. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  18:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I would prefer merging to Category:1916 establishments in Asia and to Category:Kingdom of Hejaz and merge the oldest Saudi categories to years in Asia as well, in order to avoid anachronisms (and also to avoid very poorly populated categories). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:18, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair enough – that would match many precedents. There is a C18 category in Category:Establishments in the Arabian Peninsula so let's also rename/merge to Category:20th-century establishments in the Arabian Peninsula. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * See also Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_7. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:39, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There's only one page in here, and the subject of translation doesn't even have a category. Mason (talk) 17:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting jewish martial artists
 * Nominator's rationale: Delete per a previous Cfd which deleted this category; the user deleted the container category but forgot nominate its subcats for deletion which is which this was recreated: for a target category for merging the two into one category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:37, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * @Gonnym, can you empty that category? I couldn't figure out how to. Qwerfjkl  talk  17:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'll go over them now. There might be a few that are admin protected so I'll post here if any are. Gonnym (talk) 17:31, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Think I got all instances. Gonnym (talk) 18:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Qwerfjkl, the category is empty. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: This category seems to outlived its purpose. Categories are typically now created using the template's name as seen in Category:Unknown parameters and Category:Deprecated parameters. Gonnym (talk) 11:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: single merge. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Jewish biophysicists to Category:Jewish physicists and Category:Biophysicists and Category:Jewish biologists
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection. I don't think we need to diffuse Jewish physicists by subspecialty Mason (talk) 06:22, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per Marco. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:32, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Support per nom, per WP:EGRS, but only merge to Category:Jewish biologists because all articles are now in a nationality subcat of Category:Biophysicists (I added a few). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:06, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I've tagged added two more. Mason (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support new nominations. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:47, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Jewish microbiologists to Category:Jewish biologists and Category:Microbiologists
 * Propose merging Category:Jewish geneticists‎ to Category:Jewish biologists and Category:Geneticists‎


 * Single merge these additional two, for the same reason as above. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Australian plays performed on Broadway

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting australian plays performed on broadway
 * Propose deleting australian musicals performed on broadway
 * Nominator's rationale: As at Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 9, it's always possible for any play from anywhere in the world to be performed anywhere else in the world at any time, so plays are not defined by the matter of whether they've been performed outside their home country or not. With almost 200 countries in the world, this would lead to extreme category bloat, requiring the creation of between 30 and 40 thousand categories for every possible combination of native country and performed-in country, which is not sustainable or maintainable at all. Bearcat (talk) 03:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Already in targets. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  17:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting buildings and structures in fredericia
 * Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category for a municipality not large enough to warrant its own dedicated "buildings and structures" category. As always, this would be fine if there were several buildings and structures in this municipality with articles to file here, but it does not aid navigation of the wikipedia to have a dedicated category for just one building. Bearcat (talk) 03:17, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Support in principle, but merge to Category:Buildings and structures in Fredericia Municipality and Category:Fredericia. In contrast to most countries, the buildings and structures categories in Denmark are mostly organized by municipality rather than by populated place. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have added the Category:Buildings and structures in Fredericia Municipality to the page Fredericia Speedway Stadium. I did not see this category option when I was looking to add a category to the article. Therefore deletion is sensible. Pyeongchang (talk) 10:39, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete/merge per above, makes no difference as the article is present in both targets. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:33, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Dual Merge for Now to Category:Buildings and structures in Fredericia Municipality and Category:Fredericia per WP:NARROWCAT. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
