  • Merge per nom for now, with a suggestion we look at the target category for deletion in the future. I am not sure that grouping people whose only common denominator is that they are a veteran suggests any sort of increased willingness or ability (at least that isn't WP:OR) to collaborate on a specific group of articles by those individuals, meaning there is a strong argument such a category violates WP:USERCAT. If the goal is to group individuals interested in improving military related content, a more inclusive category that would also include non-veterans seems like a better approach.

:The result of the discussion was: rename to :Category:Kingdom of Croatia (925–1102). bibliomaniac15 06:35, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Medieval Kingdom of Croatia to :Category:Kingdom of Croatia (925–1102)

:Nominator's rationale: Per main article. For precision. To distinguish from other Kingdoms of Croatia. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:12, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

  • No objection, but this implies that everything related to the 12th to 15th century (when Croatia was in personal union with Hungary) should be moved to :Category:Medieval Croatia. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:23, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

:*Hmmmm It might be better to create a new category for that period called :Category:Kingdom of Croatia (1102–1526). Rather annoyingly, that is a direct from an official article called Croatia in personal union with Hungary which is a bit clunky and confusing. I might nominate that as a reverse merge later. Anyway, with these two categories could then be children of :Category:Medieval Croatia. Or :Category:Medieval Croatia could just be dumped. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:50, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Support per nom It makes the chronology clearer. No objection to create another category for the subsequent Kingdom of Croatia. Dimadick (talk) 17:01, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
  • :But there was no "subsequent Kingdom of Croatia", it was still the same kingdom Marcelus (talk) 17:08, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose, the category covers history of Croatian monarchy until 1526, there is no need to to change its name to something with clearly narrower scope Marcelus (talk) 17:10, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Support WP:C2D — technically, 1526 isn't medieval.

:The result of the discussion was: split to :Category:Mastodons and :Category:Mammutidae. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:36, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Mastodons to :Category:Mammutidae

:Nominator's rationale: I'm aware that in North America, the Mammut genus is commonly referred to as the common name "mastodon" (or "American mastodon" or "Pacific mastodon" for the two late Pleistocene species). However, "mastodon" is really almost only referred to the one Plio-Pleistocene genus of North America, not the entire mammutid family in paleontological research whose history spans as far back as the early Miocene in Africa to dispersals in Eurasia via a Gomphotherium land bridge. For instance, rarely would you see academic researchers refer to Zygolophodon as a "mastodon" if at all rather than "mammutid." Mammutidae fits better as a category name not only because of this but also because for fossil taxon categories, it's almost always standard to refer to them by taxonomic names like family names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrimalMustelid (talk • contribs) 18:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

::OK with a split to meet in the middle. Just saw we have Mammutidae as a main article to ground the second grouping. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:29, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Russian knights to :Category:Bogatyrs

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Ukrainian knights}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:C2D main article Bogatyr. When I found this category, most people in it were indeed bogatyrs: fictional or legendary knights-errant in medieval East Slavic legends / (Kievan) Rus' literature. However, a few were 17th-century Russian noblemen (dvoryanin) and/or voivodes (military chieftains) such as Prokopy Petrovich Lyapunov and Dmitry Pozharsky, who were not bogatyrs. They were arguably "Russian knights", if we choose to apply the English word "knight" to 17th-century Russia. But as we've already got :Category:Russian nobility, an elite social class created in the Tsardom of Russia in the 16th century, I moved them there. The remainder of this category consists of fictional or legendary medieval bogatyr, either fictional stock characters such as Anika the Warrior, or possibly historical people about whom most material is probably legendary, and who never had been granted formally knighthood, such as Oslyabya and Alexander Peresvet, who were "monks". "knights" doesn't properly describe them (certainly not the :Category:Knights by country, which I have already removed), and "Russian" is anachronistic; Kievan Rus' or just Rus' would be appropriate, but in this case it is unnecessary. The main article Bogatyr provides us the proper word; we don't have to invent anything else. :Category:Ukrainian knights is entirely inappropriate as anarchronistic WP:OR, apart from being a WP:SMALLCAT, and should be deleted; the only member Dobrynya is already in :Category:Russian knights and can stay there if it is moved to :Category:Bogatyrs.

:Nominator's rationale: all are WP:SMALLCAT, with no likelihood of expansion, not least because the 2021 and 2022 season categories only contained the eponymously named article.

  • Question, why should they not merged to their other parent categories? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
  • They should, I had neglected to notice that they were in multiple categories. Having checked, the other categories look to be correct (as the seasons only have Scotland/Wales categories for the years that Scottish and Welsh teams competed). Joseph2302 (talk) 08:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose Don't see any reason to merge these categories. Just leave alone. Loads of issues to sort on Wikipedia. Nothing to fix here. Djln Djln (talk) 19:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: merge, largely overlapping topics of interest. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete without merging as far to broad to facilitate collaboration, given the fact that userboxes such as User:Scepia/book lover populate it. The target itself is also too broad in the same way, and should be converted to a container category. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:00, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Deletion is also a possibility. At the very least the category assignment should be removed from User:Scepia/book lover. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Delete — while there may be some Wikipedians who are not interested in reading, they are hopefully a minority, and probably the source of most of our troubles.

:* Propose renaming :Category:Rulers of Duklja to :Category:Monarchs of Duklja

:Nominator's rationale: WP:C2B Duklja was a {{tq|Government: Monarchy}}, first a principality, later a kingdom. This distinguishes it from other states like, say, the Republic of Ragusa. I've renamed its main article to List of monarchs of Duklja for that reason. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 01:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Rulers of Moldavia and Wallachia}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:ARBITRARYCAT WP:NONDEFINING. This is just a combination of rulers of Moldavia who were also simultaneously at some point rulers of Wallachia. "Moldavia and Wallachia" doesn't refer to a single unified state in this case, except for the brief period of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia in 1859–1881. There were only two people ever reigning those United Principalities: Alexandru Ioan Cuza (who preferred calling himself Domnitor for the bulk of his reign from 1862 to 1866), and Carol I of Romania (who changed Domnitor to King of Romania in 1881). "Ruler/Prince of Moldavia and Wallachia" wouldn't even have applied to Alexandru from 1859 to 1862; he used two separate titles: "Prince of Moldavia", and "Prince of Wallachia", not a combo. All other people are just ruling it in a non-permanent, non-formalised personal union that was historically prone to change. It's also completely unnecessary; we're not creating categories like :Category:Monarchs of Castile and Aragon to stick :Category:Ferdinand II of Aragon in there; he is fine in the parallel category trees of :Category:Castilian monarchs and :Category:Aragonese monarchs. Same goes for people who just so happened to be simultaneously Prince of Moldavia and Prince of Wallachia. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 00:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
