Nominator's rationale: Many of Maryland's larger counties have county councils instead of county boards of commissioners. Therefore, this category should be renamed to reflect that. A full list of counties that use county councils can be found here: https://www.mdcounties.org/DocumentCenter/View/2967/2-Co-Government-Structure-updated-October-2018?bidId Y2hyaXM (talk) 13:27, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose though the name is different County councillors are presumably fulfilling much the same role as County Commissioners and can appear in the same tree. It often happens that precise category names for subcategories differ from a parent that uses a more widespread name for much the same thing.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Full autosomal monosomy (losing an entire chromosome other than X or Y) is not survivable and, therefore, we don't have any articles on it. All the articles in this category are partial chromosome deletions, sometimes termed partial monosomies, but since the words are synonymous in how they are used it would be less confusing just to refer to them as deletions, and consistent with the other category, Category:Autosomal duplications‎ for duplications of genetic material.

  • Propose splitting:
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge as this intersection between disability, fictional character, and medium of fiction is not defining Mason (talk) 02:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You know this reminds me of how Category:Video game characters has a very large amount of subcategories, many of which are like "Fictional X in video games". And I think many of them are not even necessary at all. AHI-3000 (talk) 18:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • If merged, only merge to Category:Fictional characters with disabilities because the articles are already in Category:Soap opera characters by series. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:49, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You want to merge the category to itself? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:52, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Overcategorization, we do not need 3 way intersections for everything. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:56, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose/keep - I understand the rational, however, disabled characters in soap operas (both as a group and individually) are regularly discussed and reported about in reliable independent sources, which is why I made an individual category for disabled characters in soap operas. I am happy to provide sources, but it basically boils down to the fact that soap operas are meant to be representative of real life due to being contemporary and having a large range of characters, and sometimes the portrayal is received positively but also sometimes negatively. Additionally, it says "Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where possible" in the Fictional Disabled characters category, and this is an appropriate subcategory.

Can you clarify what you mean by "disabled characters in soap operas (both as a group and individually) are regularly discussed and reported about in reliable independent sources"? Do you mean that the characters themselves are discussed? Or do you mean that there's literature on the phenomenon of disability representation in soap operas? Mason (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both - both the individual characters AND representation of disabilities in soap operas in general, both about characters and the portrayers. That is why I am also currently working on an article about it too. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 08:38, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please point to some literature that supports this statement? I would find that extremely compelling that the intersection isn't trivial. Mason (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Smasongarrison: Sorry for my late reply. [[1]], [[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]], [[6]]

And [[7]] are some examples. There is also https://disability-studies.leeds.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/library/wilde-Alison-Wilde-Dis-cover-2-Adapted-Paper.pdf DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 16:15, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep per DaniloDaysOfOurLives's explanation. Dimadick (talk) 22:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the sources. Most of these seem to be top-tens lists, which don't really say much more than look this character is disabled and are in a soap opera. However, it does look like there is some academic literature on this [8], Mantilla, S. (2021). Interrogating (In) visibilities: Invisible Disabilities and Their Economies in the Australian Soap Opera Home and Away. Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies, 15(4), 419-435. [9]. I'm on the fence as to whether this is a defining intersection yet, but it does look like there's enough here for a brief wikipedia article, so *shrug* 🤷🏻‍♀️ Mason (talk) 21:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. Mason (talk) 02:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CATDEF. --NoonIcarus (talk) 02:45, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    How is it defining? Because I don't think that most people are defined by wearing a eyepatch. They might be defined by what causes them to wear an eyepatch (that they have some sore of visual impairment. I don't think that this works the same way that an assistive device like a wheelchair user would be.) Mason (talk) 02:50, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would argue that it's a quite noticeable feature. I can tell at least that in the case of Walter Martínez, the person who I created the category for, it is quite iconic and it's arguably the only person in the country known for wearing one. You make a good point, regardless. --NoonIcarus (talk) 03:52, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Eyepatches are not a fashion statement, they are a defining characteristic of fictional characters and real people. It is often due to a disability, whether temporary or permanent, and becomes a part of them. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:12, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that disability is defining, but an eyepatch is not a disability. If it is disability related, then they can be categorized as having a disability. Mason (talk) 03:40, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I wanted to note this suggestion by the OP, where the categories could be merged into that of blind people or other disabilities. --NoonIcarus (talk) 03:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am inclined to support the nomination after I read a few articles and I have not come across any references to reliable sources regarding this characteristic. After all, a defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing the topic. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Manner of dress is not defining. Having one eye might be, but you don't need an eyepatch for that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:52, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rename Category:Eyepatch wearers to Category:People missing an eye, and merge Category:Fictional eyepatch wearers to Category:Fictional characters missing an eye (which seems to overlap with this category). AHI-3000 (talk) 06:37, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would oppose that, e.g. the article Maxie Anderson does not mention anything about it. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:22, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Marcocapelle: Regardless of that, I would think that someone's lack of an eye or any other organ is a defining trait, while an article of clothing is not. AHI-3000 (talk) 08:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article about Mother Angelica also doesn't mention anything about it, the claim that this is a defining characteristic is just plain wrong. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I'm sure both categories could use some trimming to make sure they only contain articles which make it clear that the eyepatch is defining of that person/character, but I see enough examples which do include that clarity that should make both categories still valid. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 21:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Buckshot06 and Smasongarrison: pinging contributors to speedy discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Army National Guard (United States). Dear Marcocapelle, thank you for taking this the next step forward. If/when this renaming is approved, all the subcategories should have their names changed in the same way: Installations, Units and formations (can drop the "military" because "Army" is right there in the same category name), by insular area, and by state.

Nominator's rationale: Parsis appears to be the accepted spelling with Parsees as an older style. The category name should also reflect Parsis cricket team. Batagur baska (talk) 17:25, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not how cricket categories are done, so would need a much broader discussion to change the standard from X cricketers. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:50, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Per nom. Player categories for cricketers are xx cricketers as a whole, and not players of xx. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's right, because Parsis was the name of the team. If the category was for cricketers who are Parsi but did not necessarily play for the team, the title would be Category:Parsi cricketers. Batagur baska (talk) 10:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_10#Category:Songs_written_by_Anne-Marie_(singer), where only one of 3 interlinked categories was nominated. This is not eligible for Speedy because Anne-Marie (disambiguation) lists several other people, including other singers. If there is no consensus for Option A then Option B would be required, i.e. reverting the previous CFD. Pinging previous CFD participants Ayakanaa, Richhoncho, Marcocapelle, LaundryPizza03. – Fayenatic London 10:38, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Option A. Seems to be a good answer to let arguments about article names happen on the article and let the categories follow. --Richhoncho (talk) 17:40, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Truth be told, I'm dubious about the "vertebrate" parent categories too, but this one is particularly problematic, given that it conflates scientific terminology with mythological/legendary creatures. It simply doesn't matter for Wikipedians' purposes whether a mythological being is a vertebrate or not, this is a distinction that is used in biology. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per nom, I am far from convinced that this distinction is relevant in any way when it comes to mythology. VegaDark (talk) 20:26, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
