Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF. Mere inclusion of a prison should not be enough to justify inclusion in the category. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:24, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF. Mere inclusion of a circus should not be enough to justify inclusion in the category. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:15, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - convention in Category:Locations in fiction is 'XXX in fiction'. 'Mere inclusion of a circus' should indeed be insufficient and any such articles should be ejected from the category. Oculi (talk) 12:22, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, more clearly phrased as a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split merge to Category:Mythical lost cities and towns and Category:Fictional lost cities and towns (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:50, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Almost every member of this category is mythical, not fictional, besides R'lyeh, which can be merged into Category:Fictional lost cities and towns instead. Per WP:SMALLCAT, it should be upmerged. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Dolwyn belongs in the Fictional category as well. Grutness...wha? 16:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not enough articles on fictional cities, as opposed to cities from myths and legends. And I have no idea why a film is included in this category. Dimadick (talk) 07:37, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Suggest we have some notes explaining that fictional means "arbitrary invention", "known to be false", while mythical can include "fictional" but can also include "Known only or principally through myths rather than through verifiable historical facts; belonging to or existing only in myth; fantastical." (OED) Troy being the most obvious example of a place that was once mythical but is now known to be real.

    Be aware that these categories were created by simply adding the word "fictional" to the front of the established categories in Category:Former cities and Category:Former places. Whatever we do, it's important for non-real locations to maintain a parallel structure to the ones used for real geographical locations, for the primary purpose never confusing readers as to which is which. Without a specific fictional (or mythical if you prefer) sub-category, articles about fictional locations will default up into categories of real places. -Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:29, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support The current name suggests inclusion of biographical articles, and has no connection to the actual contents. Dimadick (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This is a higher container category for the subcategories that actually cover the articles on the prophets.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:20, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not sure how this is relevant. The articles in the nominated category are topic articles, that is what matters. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
