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. (non-admin closure) William Allen Simpson (talk) 02:09, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just one person. As always, every educational institution does not automatically get one of these the moment there's one alumnus with an article to file in it -- there have to be at least five or six alumni with articles before a category for them is warranted, and it aids navigation not a whit to have minicategories of one. A check of the institution's "what links here", further, reveals nobody else who could be added here to increase the category's population -- there are a fair number of people whose articles describe them as faculty of, or lecturers at, or subjects of sourcing published by, the institution, but not even one other article describes its subject as an alumnus.

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:48, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a highly subjective and oftentimes derogatory description which is unencyclopedic. Neighborhoods change character and this description is deeply presentist. User:Namiba 12:25, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:27, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: By my count, just 8 out of 38 entries in this category use the word at least once aside from the category name itself. None of those appear to be using it derogatorily, and most are source-based so I'm not sure the subjectivity argument applies without countersourcing. Not quite sure what to do about the presentism issue though, but I'm also not entirely clear if it is an issue. Could it be resolved by renaming the category to more strongly imply temporality? I could see an argument for dumping most of the category as unsourced and keeping seven of those eight (Echo Park only uses the term in a description of a song, not the neighborhood itself). QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:40, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Went ahead and did the purge myself. The cat is now down to eight entries (I guess I miscounted above) which all explicitly call the neighborhoods hipster in prose. I would be willing to support a rename if it's seen as necessary, but I'm not convinced just yet that this needs deleting. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 15:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) William Allen Simpson (talk) 02:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Functionally a duplicate of Category:BAFTA winners (video games)‎ (which is one of the two subcategories). The other subcategory, Category:BAFTA winners (people)‎‎, is not a video game subcategory. ReneeWrites (talk) 12:05, 2 April 2023 (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 to Category:Homeopaths. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. This category has only 1 entry. Estopedist1 (talk) 12:58, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose as part of an accepted sub-categorisation scheme.--User:Namiba 17:40, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for Now One editor creating a bunch of 1-article subcategories on two days in December 2017‎ is not part of "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme". (No objection to recreation if they ever get to 5+ articles though.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:52, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exactly, there are only four siblings with 5 articles or more. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as nominated. After dispersing, it is now clear that very few people are actually defined as homeopaths. Merge all the smallcat, and eventually upmerge the few remaining Category:Homeopaths by nationality subcategories per Oculi, RevelationDirect, and Marcocapelle.

The result of the discussion was: delete first, merge second to Category:Works set in the 1st century BC (non-admin closure) Nagsb (talk) 07:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underused category tree containing only one subcategory. There is a large redundancy between Category:Works by period of setting and Category:Historical fiction by period of setting, and eliminating this category tree will help to merge the two trees. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:43, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is the only year-level category for works of fiction set in the 22nd century or later, and it contains only Alien: Covenant. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
