:* Propose deleting {{lc|20th-century activists}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Activists by century}}

:* Propose merging :Category:20th-century Swedish activists to :Category:20th-century Swedish people

:Nominator's rationale: Delete per consensus on the 21st century version Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_13#Category:21st-century_activists "Not a good idea to categorise activists, not by issue but by century. Different sorts of activists dont have much in common. May even be opposed to each other. And the term activist is modern. Very few people are described as activists before the twentieth century" Mason (talk) 23:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Palestinian solidarity activists to :Category:Activists for Palestinian solidarity

:Nominator's rationale: This category isn't for activists who are Palestinian, instead it's for activists on behalf of Palestinian solidarity, regardless of nationality. I model the rename off of similar categories :Category: Activists for African-American civil rights‎ etc. Mason (talk) 23:36, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Canada academic book writers to :Category:Canadian academics

:Nominator's rationale: I don't think being an academic writer is defining. I'm pretty sure that academics are supposed to be writers as well. Mason (talk) 20:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional modern characters}}

:Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT, largely coincides with :Category:Fictional characters by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:11, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose That would remove the characters from :Category:Modern people. Dimadick (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

:* For example :Category:Fictional characters from the 19th century would still remain under :Category:19th-century people under :Category:Modern people. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:36, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support Pointless; created by blocked, disruptive user. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional characters from the 6th millennium}}

:Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OVERLAPCAT, if fully populated it would coincide with :Category:Doctor Who characters. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose The nomination does not make sense. Doctor Who is not set in the 6th millennium, it features characters and settings from various eras. It is is a time travel story. Dimadick (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
• Withdrawn. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:39, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Australian media personalities. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Australian radio and television personalities}}

:Nominator's rationale: There are already two separate category pages for this topic, as evidenced by the existence of :Category:Australian radio personalities and :Category:Australian television personalities. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 13:51, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

::Downmerge. I've added the named child categories to this parent category. I don't see why we should delete instead of downmerge into the respective child categories. Mason (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

:::Not every presenter/personality is famous on both television and radio, and there are no other parent categories by nationality like this category in question. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 16:17, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

::::Hence, I suggested downmerging. Mason (talk) 20:18, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

• Surely merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. I don't quite understand the downmerge, I would have said upmerge to :Category:Australian media personalities. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:00, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
• :At the time there were individual people in the category, but they've been removed. So upmerge is now fine.Mason (talk) 23:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
