November 30[edit]

Category:Romper Room[edit]

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: delete. – Fayenatic London 12:43, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: While the category contains a few people who were once "Miss [Firstname]" on different versions of the show, it mostly contains individual television stations that aired it. But categorizing television stations by individual syndicated shows that they have carried is not a thing we do on Wikipedia, because it's not WP:DEFINING of the stations and would lead to extreme category bloat if we had such a category for every syndicated or locally-franchised show that has ever existed (try to picture, for instance, a category for every individual television station that ever carried Ellen or Entertainment Tonight.) And categorizing the people this way violates WP:PERFCAT. Bearcat (talk) 21:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete as the union of two WP:PERFCATs. Mangoe (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete as per nom. Category is primarily be used for TV stations which broadcast or had version of the show, which is not appropriate as noted above.Dunarc (talk) 16:16, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 20#Category:Fictional countries in the Americas. ℯxplicit 01:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary mid-level category between Category:Fictional countries and its two subcategories, both of which are already in Category:Fictional countries by continent along with three others. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 05:55, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 03:07, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The only “Fictional X in the future” category, according to Category:Future history. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 05:51, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Pokémon maps[edit]

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: upmerge. While participation was low in this discussion, the argument made is convincing. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:SMALLCAT: contains only two files. However, they are not in the parent category, Category:Images of fictional maps. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 05:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Three-dimensional chess[edit]

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: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OC#EPONYMOUS: consists only of the main article and three files. Those three files are used in an article about a specific three-dimensional chess game, Dragonchess, though. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 04:44, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The images have been nominated at FfD owing to improper licensing. 05:22, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete I have to laugh here. This is my first time, seeing a category with nothing but one article, no subcategories (OK, and 4 images) CN1 (talk) 22:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Universal Century[edit]

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: merge to Category:Gundam (if not in other sub-cats already), Category:Gundam characters (if not in list sub-cat already), and Category:Gundam images. No objection to creating sub-categories Category:Mobile Suit Gundam and Category:Mobile Suit Gundam images if justified (note – the proper contents of such categories may not match the current categories). – Fayenatic London 11:37, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Title is not appropriate per MOS:INUNIVERSE, and should reflect that Universal Century is a Gundam term. This should also reflect in its subcategories. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Universal Century (Gundam). This title flows a bit better in my opinion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:30, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • That would imply that it's disambiguating from another "Universal Century", which it isn't. Starting with Gundam unifies it more with the parent category.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:34, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as the proposed name follows the format of other articles in the category. That said, I would have felt better about the name change if a Gundam Universal Century article existed. gidonb (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Category:Meteor strikes in fiction[edit]

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: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: When a meteroid enters Earth’s atmosphere, it becomes a meteor. Since meteors often strike Earth in fiction (unlike real life), the categories are largely overlapping. I also suggest possibly renaming the latter category to Category:Meteors in fiction since a meteoroid, by definition, eventually becomes a meteor. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:56, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rogue planets in fiction[edit]

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:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 20#Category:Rogue planets in fiction. ℯxplicit 01:22, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Some articles are about specific rogue planets in works of fiction. In line with other “X in fiction” categories, I propose emptying these into a subcategory, Category:Fictional rogue planets. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Query Is this really a rename proposal? What's the current scope and the intended scope? Is it fictional planets that are rogue? Or is it planets that are rogue fictionally? Or is it either of these two things? Mars is not a fictional planet but it has appeared in fiction (War of the Worlds) as a rogue planet so is it in scope? Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:20, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 12:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It contains Category:Fictional ocean planets (note the word ocean. Seas and oceans are geographically distinct but similar enough to group them together. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Participation in the discussion was low but the argument made is convincing. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Four articles, all of which are already interlinked. Appears to fail WP:OC#EPONYMOUS. 165.91.13.99 (talk) 00:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
