Category:Video game fandom

 * 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. Totally withdrawn by nominator, no opposition. (non-admin closure)  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting video game fandom
 * Nominator's rationale: This category is redundant, we already have "Video game culture" with already covers the video game subculture, comprising all the fans. This category is actually pointless, so it can merged with that category or just deleted. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Retain. "Fandom" (i.e., what fans band together to do) seems to me as a pretty clear subset of the much broader "culture". The articles in this subcategory would be lost in the larger category whereas they form a distinct group when split out. czar  02:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. I did not even figure this through, so let's not delete it. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 18:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * well please do so next time before you start a discussion. See also WP:BEFORE which is not literally applicable to categories, but the message of it is 'do your homework first'. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:1370 in Brussels

 * Propose merging Category:1370 in Brussels to Category:History of Brussels and Category:1370 in Europe
 * Propose merging Category:1511 in Brussels to Category:History of Brussels and Category:1511 in Europe
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated single-article categories, not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Fictional puppets

 * Propose merging Category:Fictional puppets to Category:Fictional dolls and dummies
 * Nominator's rationale: Created by a blocked disruptive user. When the category is purged of all irrelevant pages that are not about individual characters or objects, there are not enough articles to support such a specific category. Per WP:OVERLAPCAT it should be merged to the parent. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, puppets are apparently handled by a puppeteer and this category does not contain a lot of that. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Pet insurance

 * Propose renaming Category:Pet insurance to Category:Pet insurance companies
 * Nominator's rationale: Four out of five entries are insurance companies/providers, and the fifth is the main topic. I don't see anything else that would be worth including here, so I figure refiguring the scope of the cat, moving it to Category:Insurance companies, upmerging said main topic to Category:Types of insurance, and including it via catmain would be sensible.

 * Rename and reorganize per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:The Bangles video albums

 * Propose deleting the bangles video albums
 * Nominator's rationale: Sole entry is a non-notable redirect. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 11:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This redirect goes to an article in Category:The Bangles. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 12:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Kingdom Hearts original characters

 * Propose merging Category:Kingdom Hearts original characters to Category:Kingdom Hearts characters
 * Nominator's rationale: Over 100 characters from various animated Disney movies, were removed from "Kingdom Hearts characters" about 1 or 2 years ago, also that category contains only 1 article. Also, we have to add an explanation to that category after the merge, since then it would only be for original characters. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't it be a reverse merge, for clarification that it is about original characters only? Marcocapelle (talk) 04:15, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge per Marcocapelle. If the category is intended to exclude non-original characters like the nominator says then keeping "original" in the title would better accomplish that notice of exclusion than any explanation in the category page that editors may not even see. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 11:29, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge per Marcocapelle. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 12:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge Per others, it makes more sense to specify it is only for characters created specifically for the series. That said, in order to preserve the history, the "original characters" category should be deleted first, and the older one moved to the new name. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
