Category:Literary genres based on writers' names[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.
Nominator's rationale: This is categorizing by characteristics of name rather than characteristics of topic. See previous discussions re similar categories (e.g. in September). Note: there are only about 6 articles in the category (the rest are redirects). DexDor(talk) 20:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - it's also OR, I would say. Shavian is missing. Oculi (talk) 11:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:keep. ℯxplicit 04:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a category for organisations promoting a WP:FRINGE practice, of which there are currently three. Category:Conversion therapy only has a dozen or so articles itself, and these organisations are basically known only for conversion therapy, so this is WP:OVERCAT.

I have no objection, just want to add that a dual merge is not needed here since all three articles are in Category:Ex-gay organizations already. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:59, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Struck first part of sentence after discussion below. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:02, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The number of articles the category has currently been added to is not relevant. There are numerous articles the category could be applied to, so I do not believe that this is overcategorization. Despite what some may assume, "Conversion therapy organizations" is not necessarily synonymous with "Ex-gay organizations", since there are ex-gay organizations that do not support conversion therapy. See for example Courage International. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:04, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep now has more than 5 entries. Catrìona (talk) 07:41, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:reverse merge. ℯxplicit 04:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Both categories have unclear inclusion criteria but appear to be duplicates. Tim! (talk) 09:11, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As this is part of Category:War and the media, and the target has no such parent, I suggest a reverse merge, and am tagging the other category accordingly. – FayenaticLondon 07:50, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reverse merge (preferably, per Fayenatic london) or merge, these are duplicate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
