 * Propose renaming Category:Flint (rock) to Category:Flint
 * Nominator's rationale: Main article has now been moved to flint, but it is ineligible for WP:C2D so it is being listed here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:21, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep, proposed title would be too ambiguous, see Flint (disambiguation). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: purge. (I did comment in this discussion, but only to say I would be willing to implement the result of the discussion if it called for purging.) (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 03:49, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Anti-war video games to Category:Anti-war works
 * Nominator's rationale: The fact is that almost none of these video games have been described as anti-war, leading to this largely being original research. I can see a few ones that are overtly anti-war, like Spec-Ops, This War of Mine and Valiant Hearts, but it's not really enough for an entire category on it. I suggest a *very* selective merge until there are more games that reliable sources call "anti-war" rather than just having a few "war is bad" themes in their story. This would also imply a dual merge to Category:Video games about the military for some of them.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose This is a category for the Hebrews as a group, not one about a language. Dimadick (talk) 08:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hebrews is a term rather than a group, and the term may have different meanings, e.g. Israelites or Jewish Christians, the latter as in the letter to the Hebrews which is part of this category. Essentially the category is a case of WP:SHAREDNAME. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Not a term. Read the main article: "Historians mostly consider the Hebrews as synonymous with the Israelites, with the term "Hebrew" denoting an Israelite from the nomadic era that preceded the establishment of the united Kingdom of Israel. However, in some instances, the designation "Hebrews" may also be used historically in a wider sense, referring to the Phoenicians or other ancient civilizations, such as the Shasu on the eve of the Late Bronze Age collapse." Dimadick (talk) 07:32, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Read the article further and you'll see that the term may also refer to Jewish Christians. Which overlaps exactly about my earlier point that the category content is about different usages of the term. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:14, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose, but split: Category:Epistle to the Hebrews may be removed and linked with see-also links (needed for disambiguation) rather than parent-child membership. As a letter to early Christians from a Jewish background who chose to follow rather than reject Jesus as Messiah, it's clearly not closely connected with the general topic of the Hebrews. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:53, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This could be a second best solution. But note that, after removal of the epistle to the Hebrews, nothing remains in the category but the main article, a redirect to an article that denies a connection with the word "Hebrews", and content about the Hebrew language in its own subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:01, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The article reports a majority view short of consensus about the linguistic connection, but denies an identity between the peoples. Nevertheless, as most of the page relates to the connection-or-not with Hebrews, I'll add the article itself rather than the redirect Habiru. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:00, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose and Purge Epistle to the Hebrews per Fayenatic. Nom is right there won't be much left; it's worth considering a follow-up merger with Category:Israelites to address that. NLeeuw (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Do not support, however I assume it will be deleted anyway, so I would simply state an opinion: it is a shame to delete the ruler-category.
 * A "Ruler" is a neutral term for a person who rules. Regardless if they rule as a monarch in their own right, or merely rule as a temporary regent on behalf of another person. Thus, the term "Ruler" does not define what type of ruler. The Ruler-category is thus usefull and practical to use as a container category for the sub-categories Regents and Monarchs. It makes them easier to find.
 * When the Ruler-category is removed, it will be harder to find the answer to a question such as "How many women ruled in the 6th-century"? The women-monarchs and the women-regents will no longer have a container-category. It makes the information harder to find for an interested reader. That is a shame.
 * I made this comment simply to state an opinion, since I do not have the capacity to take part in any long discussion, but it was a shame for the reader and for practicality that such a descision was made. Thank you.--Aciram (talk) 00:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that you do not agree with the long series of decisions – each of which has been taken by consensus – to phase out the term "ruler" of categorisation purposes. Over the course of February to September 2023, a steady majority of Wikipedians has found "ruler" to be too ambiguous as a term in hundreds of category names, and that it is better to be more specific about which positions a given person held, so as to avoid confusion. You are entitled to your opinion that it is a "neutral term" (even though that is evidently a minority view now). Consensus can still change, but only through discussion and establishing consensus. I've given you many opportunities to participate. Since you refuse(d) to engage in discussion, however, there is no reason for the consensus to change in favour of your point of view.
 * What is not appropriate, however, is to re-create categories that have been deleted by consensus simply because you disagree with the consensus, thereby disrupting the process. This isn't the first time, but I do hope it will be the last. I do not want to be in conflict with you, but rather work together where we can, especially when it comes to writing about women's history.
 * Please understand that I am no more opposed to women's history than men's history; the entire Rulers category tree is being phased out regardless of gender. Rather, by splitting the women rulers category tree into more specific trees, we are actually paying more respect to different individual women and groups of women instead of lumping them all together as unspecified "rulers", with the apparent goal of turning them into mere numbers ("How many women ruled in the 6th-century"?). I have enough respect for women to say they are not all the same, and the community consensus appears to agree. Have a good day (and I hope you had a good International Women's Day yesterday).
