 * Propose merging Category:Major League Baseball Executive Vice Presidents for Baseball Operations to Category:Major League Baseball central office executives
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge per WP:NONDEF; this isn't a high level front office position like general manager or president of baseball operations. Its also not a high level position like commissioner of baseball if we're talking about central office. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting possible physical damages through anal sex
 * Nominator's rationale: Please see WP:OCASSOC. The medical conditions included in this category have a variety of causes; their possible association with anal sex is not a defining characteristic. (I was alerted to this questionable category by a note on my talk page.) gnu 57 23:36, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:American Splendor artists

 * 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: Convert * Pppery * it has begun... 22:47, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Convert Category:American Splendor artists to article American Splendor
 * Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme of Category:Artists by comic title or some such and this is analogous to WP:PERFCAT. Just make sure they are all listed (with citations) at the article on the comic. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems to me that this is a useful category as it includes people not usually associated with their artwork, such as Alan Moore and Joyce Brabner. American Splendor was a unique title in many ways, given it was written by a single person but with dozens of different artists; it seems fitting that it merits a relatively unique category.
 * As a compromise, what if the category was just converted to "Category: American Splendor", not specifying artists? stoshmaster (talk) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If artists are purged the category will become empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What I meant was convert this category simply to "American Splendor" and it will house all things related to American Splendor, including the writers, artists, the film, and all related books (if they have separate articles) stoshmaster (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That would not solve anything. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  16:47, 9 May 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkl  talk  15:23, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It is not a defining characteristic of the subjects in this category. Moving this to article space is a good compromise between instant deletion and keeping. As a preliminary measure the category content may be copied to Talk:American Splendor before the category is deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:40, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I again propose that this category be rethought/renamed to Category:American Splendor where it will encompass all things related to American Splendor, including the writers, artists, the film, and all related books (if they have separate articles) -- stoshmaster (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That sounds much like WP:OCASSOC and, again, it would not solve the problem at hand. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:31, 17 May 2024 (UTC) (added after relisting)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Articlefy per nom and Marcocapelle, and echoing the concerns about turning this into a WP:OCASSOC problem. House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 21:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fiction about whales. Discussion of the categorization of Moby-Dick can take place at Talk:Moby-Dick. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 04:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting fictional toothed whales
 * Nominator's rationale: Only one article and it is not about a fictional character but about a literary work. (Oinkers42) (talk) 14:14, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - While the name of the work is the fictional character (so the character should be tagged, not the work), a single-entry category is not helpful. Tag the character article with the parent category, remove the tag from the work article, and remove this category. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge to Category:Fictional whales per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:33, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge, I don't think deletion is the correct move to make here. AHI-3000 (talk) 19:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge as proposed. Not sure what I was thinking when I created this. Ucucha (talk) 10:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * at second thought I think the merge target needs to be Category:Fiction about whales, don't you agree? The article is about the work of fiction. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Jewish delicatessens in Oregon to Category:Jewish delicatessens in the United States
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge to parent category; only has one category layer. No need to upmerge to Category:Delicatessens in Oregon as its already in Category:Delicatessens in Portland, Oregon. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:55, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Defunct World TeamTennis teams to Category:World TeamTennis teams
 * Nominator's rationale: 1.) we don't categorize by current status and 2.) the league is defunct, so all teams are defunct. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:34, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge, I do not know about (1) but (2) alone is an obvious enough reason for merging. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We do actually categorize sports teams by current status. However, while the league is not officially defunct, it might as well be since there hasn't been an update since 2022 on its functions. Hence merge per nom. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:53, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge per nom. By the way the subcategory covers the century that is probably the least interesting to people who study history of literature. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. The problem here is that is using the standardized Screenwriters by nationality and century category header framework — but that template autogenerates an artificially-transcluded "[Country-named-in-this-category] screenwriters by century" as a standard part of its formatting. But that can't be left to sit there redlinked, so either it has to exist regardless of any size issues, or we have to wrap the template in suppress categories to bork its category generation and then manually file  in the other categories that still exist. But that would defeat the entire purpose of using the standardized template in the first place, and would have the side-effect of stranding that category from the  tree. I'm not at all wedded to this being essential, and have personally wrapped many category-generating templates in the suppress categories wrapper when necessary, but just wanted to point out that there are "standardized formatting" considerations here beyond size. Really, it's more a question of whether  need any by-century categorization yet — with only six people in the 21st-century category and only 20 in the parent, it's not clear that subbing them out for century is needed at all — but if the 21st-century category does exist, then this is automatically imposed and transcluded by the template as a standard and expected parent for it, so the question is really less about the need for this than it is the need for a 21st-century category to exist at all. Bearcat (talk) 15:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Bearcat, I'm not sure how the this comment is relevant to the nomination at hand. And, for the record, it isn't the case the FOOian occupation by century needs to exist. That category is only added if it exists, otherwise, the category is added to FOOian screenwriters. Mason (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As a person who works regularly with cleaning up redlinked categories at Special:WantedCategories, I have to deal with new redlinked categories autogenerated by occupation header templates of this type all the phunking time. So just telling me that they suppress redlinks isn't convincing when I routinely see hard evidence that they don't. Bearcat (talk) 13:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you have examples of this that are recent (like since April 6th)? Because each time there's been an red link, I've added a fix to address it . The present code exclusively uses resolve category redirects and checks if the category exists before it adds it. If you have evidence to the contrary, I would really like to see it so that I can figure out what is not working as intended. Mason (talk) 20:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Not sure. There is also Category:Churches destroyed by Muslims and all of it is part of Category:Persecution by Muslims. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hmmmmm I don't think Category:Mosques converted from churches should be a subcategory of Category:Churches destroyed by Muslims. If "destruction" is to be taken as physical devastation of a building so that it becomes a ruin or a heap of rubble, you can't just make a mosque out of that. I suggest to Template:Category see also these cats to each other instead of giving them a parent-child link. NLeeuw (talk) 23:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
