Propose renaming Category:Executed collaborators with Nazi Germany to Category:Executed Yugoslav collaborators with Nazi Germany

Nominator's rationale: This was recently renamed after a group renaming (see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 March 14) from Category:Executed Yugoslav Nazi collaborators; a related supercategory Category:Yugoslav Nazi collaborators was renamed Category:Yugoslav collaborators with Nazi Germany, but as I think one can clearly see, the new title was a mistake. All other similar categories had nationalities inserted into them, so I think this was just a typo on the part of the nominator Peacemaker67 (talk · contribs). --Nlu (talk) 15:33, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename we subdivide executions by nationality.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename definitely an error. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:46, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Historical figures portrayed in Deadwood (TV series) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Being portrayed in a television show is clearly not a defining characteristic of these figures. Delete. - Eureka Lott 14:37, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion These people are not notable for having appeared in the series. Alansohn (talk) 02:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This creates a very bad precedent. We should not categorize real people by having been portrayed in fiction. We next, Category:Historic figures protrayed in Gettysburg (film).John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. --NaBUru38 (talk) 15:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I agree that this is not a good way to categorize bio articles. A list could be appropriate, but certainly not a category since it's not defining for the individuals. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:40, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We do not categorize real people based on their presence, portrayal, or representation in works of fiction. It does not define them! --Lquilter (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Persona to Category:Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

Nominator's rationale: Needs disambiguation; alternative suggestion Category:Persona (video game series) Tim! (talk) 07:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy discussion

Category:Persona to Category:Shin Megami Tensei: Persona – C2D. Tim! (talk) 10:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: While this is indeed a valid C2D case, wouldn'tCategory:Persona (video game series) be the better category name, albiet one requiring a full CfD? -The Bushranger _{One ping only} 11:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona seems to be about the series of games, not one specific game.Tim! (talk) 06:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know, that's why I said it was a valid C2D case instead of objecting. However perhaps at some point it should be discussed if Category:Persona (video game series) should be considered perWP:COMMONNAME. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:29, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose speedying this one. There seems to be a good case for at least 2 options, so this needs a full discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:08, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just FYI, Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) is a larger series than just Persona, and what Persona is called in English has differed - the first US release was not called SMT:Persona, but the later re-release was, and Persona 4 was not called SMT for everything in its area either, IIRC. I'm not sure there's an easy solution here. MSJapan (talk) 01:47, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this needs a rename to something, since the current name is just plain bad, as it isn't aboutpersona -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 06:05, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I agree. The current name is definitely persona non grata.Grutness...wha? 00:15, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom and to match parent article.--Lenticel ^(talk) 09:35, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Persona (video game series) ; at any rate, any rename is better than the current name which is wrong, since it isn't about persona -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 23:23, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to match the main article. I thought it was about the amazing Ingmar Bergman film. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:53, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is apparently about the series, so we don't need to invent a new name. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Shin Megami Tensei: Persona per GO. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
