September 14[edit]

Category:Phaleristics[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. Upmerge Phaleristics to all parents, but only remove the category from Template:Phaleristics (i.e. no merging) (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one, eponymous, article Rathfelder (talk) 22:14, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle however remove the template (i.e. don't include it in the merger) and add the main article to all parent categories instead of just one. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:33, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Marcocapelle. I think that is the best solution, as I see little prospect of us getting this better populated. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:07, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - although it looks like a category that has been emptied out of process, it is really not clear what the creator intended to do with this category. Note that comments in this CfD seem to imply that they intended one day or another to use it in place of established Orders, decorations, and medals, but besides attempts at circular category inclusions this did not go very far. Place Clichy (talk) 17:12, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ghost Rider (film series)[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) DannyS712 (talk) 00:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is redundant, as its parent category, Category:Ghost Rider films, covers the same ground. The video game entry is already listed in Category:Ghost Rider. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:38, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category with only one entry and it is a redirect. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:59, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:All redirect categories[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: split, but to the existing categories as indicated. MER-C 09:03, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Basically, this entire category is filled with categories that exist because of either {{R from fictional character}}, {{R from fictional location}}, {{R from fictional element}}, or {{R to TV episode list entry}}. Realistically, all those categories should just be found in a single parent container category that is then included in this list. This top-level container category should be a parent category for Category:Redirects from moves, Category:Unprintworthy redirects, etc. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 06:11, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Catholic University of America schools of law[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 manually. MER-C 10:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Catholic University of America rather unusually has two law schools: a "standard" one and a School of Canon Law. It's highly unlikely that they'll ever get a third law school. Per WP:SMALLCAT: delete and upmerge to Category:Colleges and schools of the Catholic University of America. Randykitty (talk) 16:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, though presumably it should also be merged to its two other parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no reason to have this level of category that is unlikely to ever get more than 2 articles. Even a 3rd law college would not really justify this.John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:07, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 17:50, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is an unnecessary category, useless for anything but these two pages. TTN (talk) 14:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to parent categories, there is no reason for plain deletion. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Taiwanese idol groups[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) DannyS712 (talk) 00:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In the current setup, any Taiwanese boy-band or girl-group that becomes the subject of an article will automatically be marked as an "idol" by Wikipedia. This does not seem like a good assumption to make. A better approach would be to do what Category:Japanese idol groups does and classify the groups as "related" categories. However, in this case, Category:Taiwanese pop music groups appears to have the same content with a few extra loose entries. Therefore the "idol" category is redundant and should be deleted.

  • Support per WP:OVERLAPCAT, and besides idols seems to be a too subjective concept for the creation of categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
