Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the main article and a subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • The commons category is now linked from the main article Tetrazine, so navigation to it will not be lost.– Fayenatic London 21:48, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @JWBE: this nomination will be listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry so chemists will have the opportunity to provide input in this discussion. By the way the category structure here and in commons do not have to be identical. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:51, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests[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: rename to Category:Monuments and memorials in the United States removed during the George Floyd protests (and rename subcat). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 08:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Perhaps the subcategory should also use "in Virginia" instead of "Virginian..." (?) --Another Believer (Talk) 23:23, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 01:23, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most of the items in this category are merely redirects, with only one being its own article. Per WP:SMALLCAT, this category can be removed and the one article upmerged with no real consequence. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:09, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And FYI, all of the redirects are already placed in Category:Dune (franchise) element redirects to lists via the template {{R from fictional element}}, so maintenance-wise they just need to be removed from this category after its deletion.— TAnthonyTalk 23:39, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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. The target's name can be discussed in a separate discussion. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: downmerge, it is unclear why we need to find paintings and sculptures based on people at a different location than e.g. songs or videogames based on people. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, obviously, although like Johnbod I do prefer 'about' than 'based on'. Note this is (for me) a result of this discussion the participants are welcome to read and engage with: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Culture#Naming_of_articles_in_Category:Topics_in_culture:_time_for_consistency?

  • Comment -- We seem to be coming round to the idea of merging both to Category:Works about real people. This covers paintings, film, books, etc. We need to draw a distinction between history and fiction. Inevitably, a painting of a historical event will be composed by the artist (not a photo) and a historical novel may involve real historical people, as well as people invented by the author for the purposes of his story. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Category:Depictions of people to Category:Works based on people. No need to use "real". If they were not "real", they would be characters, or "fictional", etc. Oppose using "about". We use "based on", for WP:PRECISION reasons. To give an example, We Didn't Start the Fire could be grouped in a "works about people" category, but not in a "works based upon people" category. And consider Garden Party (Rick Nelson song), it's known to be based upon an event, but could also be said to be "about" people - clearly it should not be categorised this way. We focus on the specific over the all-too-broad. - jc37 10:30, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • (as nom) Several suggestions have been done to rename the target, which is not what this nomination is about. My conclusion is that the proposed merge is so obvious that it does not even have to be discussed. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Monarchy in fiction. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:59, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In line with renaming of surrounding categories, but with a slight change of scope. – Fayenatic London 07:28, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No objection to renaming, but both articles in the category might be purged. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:34, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the fact that in the film Ella Enchanted there is a regent who controls the country is not defining to it in any meaningful way. I was expecting this to include works set in the Regency Period of England, but since many of those works never include the regent as a character that would be even more non-defining.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Single member category so not a useful navigation aid. Merging to parent category seems an obvious solution. Richhoncho (talk) 09:04, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it only contains an autobiographical song of a Nigerian singer. If not deleted, by all means merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:40, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As nominator I would be more than happy with delete as per Marcocapelle.--Richhoncho (talk) 10:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
