Category:Queens consort of Saudi Arabia

 * Propose renaming Category:Queens consort of Saudi Arabia to Category:Saudi royal consorts
 * Nominator's rationale: A quick scan through all of the articles listed in this category demonstrates that none of the women named here held the position/title of "queen consort". Thus, the name of the category is misleading at best. I suggest changing the name to "Saudi royal consorts", which is consistent with various other categories such as Category:Polish royal consorts, Category:Austrian royal consorts, Category:Jordanian royal consorts, etc. Keivan.f  Talk 23:13, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Is queen consort ever a position or title? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:55, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes if you are Elizabeth II, no if you are Charles III! --Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Jpbowen, isn't it the other way around?
 * Oh and rename per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:56, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This is with respect to Queen Camilla, read the history! --Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The title may explicitly exist in the United Kingdom but across countries I would take it as a mere descriptor. In that respect I do not see any difference between "queen consort" and "royal consort". Marcocapelle (talk) 13:26, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No such title legally exists in the UK either. The wife of the king is legally the queen. Queen consort is just a descriptive term used for women who assume the title of "Queen" through marriage and share their husband's rank. Specifically in Arab countries and some parts of the world the wife of the monarch has to be bestowed with this title. Which is why Rania is the current "Queen of Jordan" but her mother-in-law Muna was only a princess, even though he was a king's wife. Other examples are Fahda bint Falah Al Hithlain (the current king of Saudi Arabia's wife who is not a queen either), Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco and Sabika bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa of Bahrain. None of these women have been titled "The Queen" and to categorize them as such is misleading. The term "royal consort" would be the better phrase to use here (it encompasses both princesses consort and any future potential queens consort if a future Saudi king decides that his wife should be titled "The Queen"). Keivan.f  Talk 16:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * In the UK (and probably all European monarchies past and present), the wife of the King is the Queen. Place Clichy (talk) 18:46, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. says that Ibn Saud had 22 consorts, 7 of which made their way to . I don't think that a country can have 22 queens (although in 1953 the UK had 3). So by default royal consort is probably a safer expression, as for the countries cited above, unless there is convincing evidence that an individual is titled otherwise.

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  18:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose deleting Category:Fictional space force personnel
 * Nominator's rationale: Disperse to parent categories if needed, though I don't think it is. "Space force" is not a typical term for this nor does it actually encompass the subcategories, making this miscategorized. Category:Space marines already covers the military-oriented space soldiers. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:44, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Category:Space marines and Category:Fictional United States Space Force personnel should certainly count as "space force personnel" as well. AHI-3000 (talk) 23:48, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * "Space marines" is an accepted term for it, "space force personnel" is not. The latter is redundant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:03, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Even many of the real-life military organizations listed under Category:Space units and formations are called "space forces", such as the United States Space Force. AHI-3000 (talk) 22:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't the other three subcategories be moved under Category:Space marines before upmerging Category:Fictional space force personnel? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * None of them really qualify as "Space marines". The first one is in Category:DC Comics military personnel so that's already fine. The second is in Category:Fictional military personnel in television so that's fine too. The third is in Category:Fictional American military personnel by branch. There's no need for any moves or anything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:15, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But they surely have in common that they are military personnel in space, don't they? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Being in Starfleet does not immediately imply you are a space traveler. Neither does being in any other category of these besides space marines, and if that was the only category left, this one would not have a reason to exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment most space marines are part of space navies, the equivalent of wet navies, and not space force, the equivalent of airforce or police (Green Lanterns are police); Real life space forces are mostly strategic rocket forces and (spy) satellite operations agenices -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment I think disfigurement can be defining for some characters, like Quasimodo or Erik (The Phantom of the Opera). Maybe this requires a cleanup rather than outright merging. I don't think it's always a "disability" so if it really wasn't defining, the merge would need to be selective. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:39, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment In Quasimodo's case, he has Kyphosis (hunchback), he has only one functional eye (due to a birth defect), and he is deaf (due to occupational hazards). These are more specific disabilities than simply being disfigured. Dimadick (talk) 08:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * His notability is due to his physical appearance, which caused him to be feared, not the diseases themselves. I think this category ought to be separate from disabilities though, as disfigurement does not imply disability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:09, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I agree that it is not (always) a disability so I wouldn't favor merging. It is not worthwhile to keep the category for the two obvious articles that would stay in it. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename Category:Fictional disfigured characters Besides the two I mentioned earlier, Deadpool and Two-Face are also notable for being disfigured, but are not technically disabled. This category is defining for enough characters for it to exist, but needs a significant purge of all the characters for whom it is not defining and just an incidental thing about them. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment Deadpool's deformity is supposed to be an effect of his cancer. Dimadick (talk) 18:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That may be true, but it's the fact that he is disfigured that is what people predominantly know about him rather than the explanation behind it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:13, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support keeping and renaming to Category:Fictional disabled characters. AHI-3000 (talk) 22:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * How would this differ from Category:Fictional characters with disabilities? Marcocapelle (talk) 08:57, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oops, I meant to say rename to Category:Fictional disfigured characters, I accidentally mistyped it as "disabled" instead. AHI-3000 (talk) 05:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Why the change from person first to identity first? This really doesn't address the concern. How is disfigured defining and distinct from disability? It seems very subjective, and also takes a really narrow view of the term disabled. Mason (talk) 04:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * A disfigurement is a permanent physical alteration. A disability makes it harder for someone to do certain things. A disfigurement can be disabling, but the opposite is not necessarily true. For example, a person may have recovered from a bad burn or scar, that has not had permanent disabling effects, but still have a negative social stigma due to their looks. It's enough that disfigured and disabled characters should be in both categories. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge, redundant category layer with only three subcategories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as written but open to other suggestions. I think the person who set this up was trying to sort out writers by language; see Category:Modern Greek-language writers. The current proposal would prevent the category tree from effectively doing that. There needs to be some way to still sort these writers out between Ancient Greek language and Modern Greek language writers (they aren't the same language).4meter4 (talk) 05:28, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nationality and language don't have a defining intersection. If you want this to be a category for dramatists and playwrights in modern greek, that's fine, but it doesn't (and arguably shouldn't) intersect with nationality. Mason (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge as nom, maybe adding Category:Modern Greek literature as secondary merge target. This category is not about language, but about an era in Greek history. There are notable Greek-language writers who were not Greek, maybe above all Egyptian Constantine Cavafy. Vassilis Alexakis was a Greek writer notable for his work in French.

 * Yep. I should have selected merge from the dropdown, my bad. Mason (talk) 02:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Unsure – there are articles Babylonian mathematics, Chinese mathematics, Ancient Egyptian mathematics, Greek mathematics, Indian mathematics, Japanese mathematics. I have not checked whether the categories correspond to the historical periods covered in those articles. – Fayenatic  L ondon 17:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose – looking at the bigger picture, "Category:Museums established in ..." and "Category:Art museums and galleries established in ..." are well-populated, enabling finding museums and galleries by year of establishment. Why pick on 18th-century cultural heritage? —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Because there are only 1-3 in scattered years in the 18th century. It is far from well-populated in the 18th century. It is more useful at the century and decade levels for the 18th century. Seems pretty obvious. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Murder committed by female minors

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Both of the arguments against merging were weak and did not sufficiently address the merging rationale. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  18:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Murder committed by female minors to Category:Female murderers and Category:Murder committed by minors
 * Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure that this intersection of type of crime, gender, and age is a notable intersection. I'm on the fence, and figured it was worth bringing to CFD to get some opinions Mason (talk) 21:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This category is numerically sustainable, and I would argue that this specific intersection is notable in and of itself, because of the relative statistical rarity of murders committed by female children and teenagers, similarly to Category:Female child soldiers. This nomination seems very arbitrary. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * What do you think about this? AHI-3000 (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * > This nomination seems very arbitrary.
 * What makes you say that? I saw it, while checking if any death/assassination categories seemed overpopulated, wasn't sure that it was defining, and nominated it to get some additional opinions. Mason (talk) 23:29, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Category:Female murderers and Category:Murder committed by minors both exist because the article subjects they cover are very notably defined because of the demographic anomalies of homicide committed by perpetrators who are female or underage respectively, and this is doubled if the killer happens to be both. So what's the big deal if there's another subcategory that intersects both of them, it doesn't make it any less of a defining trait, and I believe the opposite is true, it's even more defining. AHI-3000 (talk) 23:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not doubled by that at all. You have to prove that both combined is a separately defining grouping. In other words, female children have to be separately notable to just females in general. I don't think you can prove that, though if you can, you should probably demonstrate the evidence. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Dual merge Per nom. Would seem to violate WP:OCEGRS. "Can a valid, encyclopedic main article be written for this grouping?" The answer may be true with female murderers in general, but not for this intersection. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge, this is a very narrow intersection. Only merge to Category:Murder committed by minors because the articles are already in e.g. Category:American female murderers when appropriate. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:23, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is basically a "murder by girls" category, and I think it could serve as a subcategory of Category:Girls. Dimadick (talk) 08:41, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If kept yes, but it is not something particularly associated with girls, is it? We have a List of youngest killers, not a List of youngest female killers. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
