:The result of the discussion was: merge. bibliomaniac15 22:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:* Propose upmerging to parent categories {{lc|Open-source educational video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source strategy video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source shooter video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source role-playing video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source roguelikes}}
:* {{lc|Open-source racing video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source puzzle video games}}
:* {{lc|Open-source platform games}}
:Nominator's rationale: These categories are non-defining intersections of their various genres and :Category:Open-source video games. Each should be upmerged as appropriate. Izno (talk) 21:52, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose for now. @Izno, please revise the nomination to set out exactly what merges are proposed for each of the nominated categories. The nomination as it stands is too vague to be considered. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:40, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- :I would have thought "merge to their respective genre parents" would be sufficient. I have little interest in enumerating each genre category, and naturally each article should end up in :Category:open-source video games as well. Is that what you wanted clarified? --Izno (talk) 11:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- ::I guess there are some articles like 0 A.D. (video game) which are in another child category of :Category:Strategy video games that I don't think anyone would like to see in that category as that would be an unnecessary parent. I'm not sure if there's anything practical to be done about that.... From what I recall seeing, I am somewhat doubtful all of the articles in this batch are like that. --Izno (talk) 14:03, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- :::(Which I suppose is another reason to eliminate this set of categories. --Izno (talk) 14:05, 25 May 2020 (UTC))
- Oppose for {{lc|Open-source roguelikes}}. Open source is a defining characteristic for this class of games and open source is how the genre got started. Open source status yields two completely different modding communities for closed and open source. Open source status was central to the development and evolution of many of theses game; witness the Moria/Angband family of games. I guess you are not a modder? --

18:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC) - :We don't judge the utility of a category by whether a certain non-mainstream community treats the topic but by how reliable sources do. (Whether I am a modder is irrelevant, to boot.) Even in the case that open-source is important to that genre, we still end up in a WP:SMALLCAT situation and the "odd-man out" kind of category, which will just lead us to having this set of parallel categories again. These games will retain their categories as "open-source" and as "roguelikes" at the end of the day if these are merged, so it is a trivial intersection using one or another of the tools for such (WP:Petscan, Special:Search) to identify. For some context about your claim, List of roguelikes does not include open/closed status. --Izno (talk) 02:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- :: Apologies for the modder comment--I think expertise is invaluable in judging categories, but should not have singled you out. Nonetheless, (1) the "royal we", (2) disparaging a gaming community, (3) claiming reliable sources without naming them, (4) no this is not a small cat situation as having few subcats under a cat is just fine, (5) "odd-man out"??, (6) worrying about a maintenance hassle, (7) substituting search engines for a gap in our categories, and (8) claiming an incomplete list as some kind of evidence--all of these are weak, non-policy based arguments for deletion that do not add up to a strong argument for deletion. I will retain my oppose for this category of games. --
{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk}
05:04, 27 May 2020 (UTC) - :: The list of roguelike table can be fixed to include that status, but again, the main roguelike page had plenty of details of why open-source was key to the genre and why there are so many variants. --Masem (t) 00:14, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support - as Izno states, the cross section itself is not a defining trait in each scenario. Sergecross73 msg me 02:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support all per nom. Superfluous cross-section that could be well handled with two separate categories. IceWelder [✉] 05:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support All, per nom. Not a defining trait. -- ferret (talk) 13:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support expect for :Category:Open-source roguelikes which should be kept, as I do have to agree with Mark Viking - this is actually a well-defined cross-categorized given the history of roguelikes. None of the other listed cats have any similar type of vector. Another way to put this, if we are tracking the history of video games, roguelikes and their origins from open-source projects are key, where as taking a cat like "Open-source shooter games", there's no historical factor there, simply that as shooter games gained popularity, that people made open-source variants. That's where there's weak cross-categorization. --Masem (t) 00:12, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support all per nom. Even :Category:Open-source roguelikes, which doesn't have that many games to really qualify (as of today anyway). ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:36, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Similar to this related discussion for video game sequel by year categories, prequel/sequel films by year is an odd and unnecessary cross-categorization with a limited scope makes for a tree of mostly WP:SMALLCAT failures. IceWelder [✉] 21:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 07:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Per nom. Non-defining cross-categorization, populated almost entirely by a single editor without discussion and refusal to discussion. -- ferret (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
:*The year categories are recent but not sure what you mean by "refusal to discussion"; there is no mention of "sequel" on their talk page. The decade categories were created a few years ago by other editors. Peter James (talk) 13:52, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all as per above. TheDeviantPro (talk) 13:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose for now; needs more discussion. The decade categories have existed for a few years; the year categories were created recently. They are sometimes more defining than the nationality of the companies that made the films. If there are too few articles for each category (there are smaller categories for companies by year, location or industry, and articles related to cities - is there a WikiProject guideline somewhere?), could the year categories be merged to the decade categories? Also instead of deletion would they be better merged so all articles are in :Category:Sequel films? If 1500 articles is too many and articles are moved to subcategories, it should also be by year.

::Thanks {{u|Namcokid47}}! soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:37, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. A video game franchise (or any media franchise for that matter) is not disestablished, discontinued or cancelled or whatever just because there haven't been any recent new releases. It's WP:OR / WP:SYNTH and reverse WP:CRYSTAL. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:37, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per the nom and argument brought up by Soetermans. IceWelder [✉] 20:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete The number of video game series that are known to be dead and never to have another game ever can be probably counted on one hand, if that many. This is rarely actually established; a series may go into an indefinite hiatus, but never disestablished. --Masem (t) 20:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Per this discussion at WT:VG.An unnecessary and non-defining cross-categoriation with a limited scope. IceWelder [✉] 14:53, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all - There is no special recognition of sequels by years in the reliable sources; this is unnecessary cross-categorization. --Masem (t) 15:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all Per nom and Masem. This is not a defining characteristic. Note also that a similar category set was also created for films... -- ferret (talk) 15:22, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all - Honestly, what purpose are these categories supposed to have? Sources certainly don't acknowledge anything like this, and I don't ever see this being of use to anybody. Namcokid47 (Contribs) 16:05, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all, not a defining characteristic. Axem Titanium (talk) 16:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all per above. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:20, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Why not merge?, from the discussion I do not understand why e.g. :Category:2000 sequel video games should not be merged to :Category:2000 video games. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
- What use would merging it do if the category shouldn't be used in the first place? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 19:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- But why shouldn't the articles be moved to, in the example, :Category:2000 sequel video games? Marcocapelle (talk) 20:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- All of these articles are already in their normal category, i.e. "2000 video games". The new categories were added by a single user without removing any parent categories (if 2000 video games was even set as a parent). -- ferret (talk) 13:34, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- @ferret, the action should still be to merge. The bot will handle the merger to avoid any duplicate category entries.
Even if the categories were originally populated without regard to WP:SUBCAT, other editors may apply WP:SUBCAT and remove the pages from e.g. "2000 video games". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC) - Oppose deletion, but support merge to the relevant year category, per my reply above to ferret. Merge ensures that all the article will end up in the relevant year category. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
- I still don't see the use of merging if the category should not be used at all in the first place. All of the articles are already in their correct categories, thus no further work is required. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:40, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete all - As per above. TheDeviantPro (talk) 13:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Fairly useless categories. OceanHok (talk) 16:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

- Support Down with the tyranny of demonyms. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support to clarify scope. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:32, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose It creates ambiguities for some countries. For example, with the Category:Mexican television networks, only the networks of Mexican origin are included, but with the new name Category:Television networks in Mexico, American networks that are, not only broadcasting within the range of Mexican territories, but also broadcasting from Mexican-licensed stations, will have to be included also. For the American counterpart, both Mexican and Canadian networks will have to be included. Instead of the use of 'in', 'of' should be used.--MexTDT (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: in the the previous discussion, there was sort of consensus that :Category:Associations is merely a matter of WP:SHAREDNAME, but nothing happened yet because there is a whole set of subcategories that needs to be addressed simultaneously. So here is the full proposal, basically to merge everything to Non-profit organizations.
: {{ping|Jfhutson|RevelationDirect|Rathfelder|Bibliomaniac15}} pinging contributors to previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:37, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support Clicking through these, most have "Category:Professional associations based in X" and a few loose articles, all of which can be described as non-profit. (UK's is a little different, but still non-profit.) There is likely some further diffusion of many of these loose articles but this nom gets rid of a duplicate and vague category tree based on WP:SHAREDNAME. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yes please. Thank you for this. I suspect there will be a bit more sweeping up to do. Are we sure that none of these professional associations make profits? Rathfelder (talk) 10:49, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Oculi (talk) 11:08, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose -- The whole concept of "non-profit" is a US tax category, whose use is inappropriate elsewhere. I agree the present category is unhelpful and should go, but I object to the use of an American tax category. In checking content, I found the majority had nothing in them but a professional associations subcat, which should be parented by a new :Category:Professional Associations by continent. Spain has an association of municipalities, which will be an emanation of local government; UK has a mishmash with little coherence and could have a lot more content; the Russian case fits the nom but it sounds political. I think the best solution is recategorize contents then delete when empty. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:47, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
:* I am glad that you agree with the removal of these categories. As for the term non-profit, it is certainly not exclusively American, see for example this Dutch-language [https://carriere.nrc.nl/vacatures/overheid-non-profit website for job vacancies] in government and non-profit organizations. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:39, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
::* Like Peterkingiron I dont much like non-profit as a basis for categories. I recall discussions about Non-government organizations, which we decided should go because it was so difficult to define as a negative. I'd be perfectly happy with the professional associations, which is the main content, sitting directly in the categories of organizations based in Foo. Rathfelder (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
:::* Fair enough if you intend to propose upmerging of non-profit organizations in a later stage. But while they still exist they are the right merge target for this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:00, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
::* I also favor some additional work here but this nom is in the right direction. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:36, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I think we will need a different approach in countries where Non-profit organization is a verifiable legal status from those where it is just a negative description. Rathfelder (talk) 09:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
:::* After some hesitation I think I will agree with a future merge nomination of non-profit organizations. After all, it contains almost all sorts of organizations but companies. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:14, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose Deleting/Listifying :Category:AAA Hall of Fame
:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and WP:OCASSOC)
:The AAA Hall of Fame was founded in 2007 and recognizes professional wrestlers in Mexico, where there is a distinct style. The biography articles in this category generally mention the award in passing, often with other awards, so it doesn't seem defining.

:The German Ice Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1988 and mentions to in on the web are mostly Wikipedia and mirror sites. The biography articles in this category generally are split between not mentioning the the award at all or mentioning it in passing with other halls of fame so it doesn't seem defining.
