:* Propose splitting :Category:20th-century Canadian Eastern Catholics to :Category:20th-century Canadian people and :Category:20th-century Eastern Catholics

:Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There are only two people in here, which isn't helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 23:20, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

• Merge manually, only Pietro Leoni needs to be added only to :Category:20th-century Canadian people, the articles are otherwise already deeper down in the trees of the targets. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Strange Music mixtape albums}}

:Nominator's rationale: After about as thorough a search as I can manage, the two mixtapes listed are the only ones with articles I can find. I don't know if we're still concerned about categories being too small given SMALLCAT's retirement, but this one is very small. Upmerge both to :Category:Strange Music albums.

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional vegan and vegetarian characters}}

:Nominator's rationale: :Category:Fictional vegetarians was deleted several times previously, see the discussion for that category. Creating this one was an end-run around the deletions of the former category by adding vegans for no reason. Continues to violate WP:NONDEF. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

::::The fact that Shaggy is a vegetarian is only listed as a side note. It's not something that comes up often, if at all in the actual show, which has offered a different explanation for why Shaggy is skinny. If that's one of the most prominent examples, then this category is rather weak. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Works by setting to :Category:Fiction by setting

:Nominator's rationale: Setting is inherently an attribute of fiction, so these two categories are redundant. There is a large overlap in the actual contents. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment I'm worried that nonfiction would get caught up in the merge. Is literally everything in here fiction? ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
• :I'd also need to know what exactly the subcategories would be renamed to standardize them. There is an obvious naming disconnect between one and the other. If it is to be moved, the subcategories should be renamed at the same time to avoid a ton of work. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:54, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
• ::We should use "Fiction set in X" if we choose "Fiction by setting" as the target, or "Works set in X" if we choose "Works by setting" as the title. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 18:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
• Merge per nom and undoubtedly further cleanup in the category tree will be needed. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:06, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Qwerfjkltalk 13:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

• Reverse merge everything from :Category:Fiction by setting, out of concern for marking non-fictional works as "fiction". Rename all subcategories to "Works set in X" (i.e. :Category:Cities in fiction would become :Category:Works set in cities). Many of them in that category need a rename anyway, so it works out. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:40, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

• Reverse merge - and once that's done, we can take a look at the sub-cats. A lot of the fiction-related categories were created prior to "Works" becoming a standard. - jc37 19:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Deprecated to :Category:Wikipedia deprecation

:Nominator's rationale: This category can be mistakenly used for deprecated software (example: Special:Diff/1192076725). Similarly to :Category:Wikipedia maintenance, :Category:Wikipedia administration, etc, add prefix "Wikipedia" to avoid confusion. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:34, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

• Rename or Delete I would lean toward renaming as proposed, but also open to deletion if that finds consensus. The most important thing is to not leave this as is. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:58, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

• Weak keep - I can see this as useful for tracking things which are still extant that need to be, well, "deprecated". As for what to rename it to... How about something like :Category:Wikipedia deprecated syntax? - jc37 19:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
• "deprecated syntax" won't cover :Category:All articles with deprecated sources (btw, page Wikipedia:Deprecated sources isn't part of the category at the moment). Pppery's argument makes sense to me, I support delete as well. —⁠andrybak (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Delete, deprecated syntax and deprecated sources is too far apart to combine in a container category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Pppery. I don't see any promising path for turning this category into something coherent and useful. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 00:08, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Australian women's websites to :Category:Australian websites and :Category:Women's interest websites (Only one page in here)

:Nominator's rationale: Suggest rename modeled off of :Category:Women's interest channels. I was very confused by the purpose of the category when I first saw it. I thought that this was websites owned by women. Mason (talk) 13:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support merging the latter two per nom. As for the rename, note there is also - for better or for worse - :Category:Women's fiction and :Category:Women's magazines. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Television episodes about ungulates to :Category:Television episodes about mammals

:* Propose merging :Category:Television episodes about even-toed ungulates to :Category:Television episodes about mammals

:Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_30#Ungulates, where several of these were nearly deleted; they should of course rather be merged back to where the contents were diffused from. – Fayenatic London 18:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose There is no reason to merge anything to a category about generic mammals. Dimadick (talk) 19:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
• :Oppose for this reason AHI-3000 (talk) 08:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
• Merge to make it so much easier to navigate from e.g. horses to pigs. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose at least the first six; they serve as a useful diffusing of the previously messy category tree. No opinion on moving the subcats to Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla, as in the previous proposal, although I do question the moves of the corresponding pages; those were clearly violations of COMMONNAME, but Artiodactyl could be split from even-toed ungulates. Star Garnet (talk) 21:13, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
• Keep The "ungulates" categories, but merge the "odd" and "even" ones into them as an unnecessarily "nerdy" distinction that is not necessary in categories talking about fiction where it might be in categories concerning actual animal species. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Yes, that too. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Rename and repurpose to :Category:Irish poets before 600 AD, adding in Dubthach maccu Lugair, who has not date category, and the 5th and 6th century siblings. I do not like eliminating the date so entirely, but adding the one member to :Category:1st-century Irish people is certainly appropriate. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

::*:@Marcocapelle, I just took a look at the article Edwin Branson; it was indeed heavily edited earlier today. So either the name has been wrong for years (a possibility) or someone has changed the article's purpose entirely; looking at the history, it is more likely to be that the name has been wrong since it was originally created in 2016.

::@Marcocapelle, can you clarify what you mean exactly? Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

::* {{ping|Omnis Scientia}} with an automated merge, the bot is just replacing the occurrance of the nominated category by the targets. For parenting, that works well with upmerge: nothing changes in the parents of the targets and nothing needs to change. But with downmerge, the replacement leads to the target becoming its own parent category, while it should really adopt the nominated category's parents. But that does not happen automatically. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:21, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional characters who break the fourth wall}}

:Nominator's rationale: I do not think this is defining - what about a character who randomly looks at the screen and shrugs as a gag, but is otherwise a normal character who isn't cognizant of the audience? It's simply too vague to distinguish between minor moments of fourth wall breaking and characters who are aware of the audience at all times. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

:*Keep The category only includes characters who break the fourth wall as a defining characteristic, as defining characteristics are the cornerstone of Wikipedia categories. Therefore, the category does not include characters who have only broken the fourth wall once or twice, but instead lists characters who are known and recognised for doing it. I kept this in mind when I originally created the category and added the characters to it.The Editor 155 (talk) 15:19, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

:*:The question's whether "executing a fourth wall break" can even be defining, or if it's a trait of the story itself rather than the character. Perhaps the character has some ability that would let them be aware of the fourth wall, but would belong more in characters who have superhuman powers or the ability to manipulate reality. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:55, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Keep for these reasons given by The Editor. AHI-3000 (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

::Keep Some character frequently break the fourth wall, and become known for it. The watershed, obviously, is this fact being mentioned in reliable sources.

• (Looks at the audience) - So on Wikipedia, when assessing categories, it's often important to determine whether inclusion in the category is self-evident, or if it needs explanation, in type, scale, or importance, amongst many other things, as noted in the guideline WP:CATBEFORE. And when that is determined to be the case, such categories tend to either be Deleted or Listified, and such should be the case here. - jc37 19:50, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Firstly, this category tree appears to fall under :Category:Actors by medium; however, comedy is a genre, not a medium.

However, the split of this particular has not been implemented yet, and can't be implemented. It is not about the history of any district but about the history of a former princely state.

::Oppose Chitral's status as a historical and cultural area was not affected by its split into two administrative areas in 2018. Its history is wider than the history of the princely state abolished in 1972. From a pragmatic point of view the two districts created in 2018 share so much history that it would not be meaningful to attempt to split articles relating to their history before 2018 between the two districts.--Mhockey (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support -- The content largely seems to relate to events before 1972. If we can devise a name, it might be feasible to have a category for everything up to the split in 2018.

::*You have to consider the range of matters which could potentially be included in the category, not the articles which are currently in the category.

• I guess you mean :Category:Chitral (former district). But if you did that, you would need to consider how the category tree would work. You would want two categories dealing with different periods of history of one geographic area to be sub-categories of a category dealing with that geographic area, and the obvious name of that parent category is :Category:History of Chitral. WP has plenty of examples of categories dealing with the history of an area which is no longer an administrative unit, and I do not see what the problem is with the existing category.--Mhockey (talk) 22:21, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Ancient Greeks who died from disease to :Category:Disease-related deaths in Greece and :Category:Ancient Greeks

:# Support renaming :Category:Ancient Greeks who were murdered per naming convention.

:# Support renaming :Category:Ancient Greeks killed in battle per naming convention.

:# Just delete :Category:Ancient Greeks who died from disease, death from disease should be container categories by type of disease.

• Different proposals require different responses. P Aculeius (talk) 14:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

:#Oppose: I'll be guided by Marcocapelle on this one—upmerging would delete useful categorization that's consistent with other extant categories.

:#Weak support: "murder victims" doesn't sound like an ideal formulation, but looks like an improvement over "who were murdered". Perhaps "homicides" might be an alternative.

:#Oppose. "military personnel" smacks of hypercorrectness and is a jarringly modern and technical description that simply does not belong in classical antiquity. "Killed in action" is 20th-century military jargon for "killed in battle". Keep it simple, and avoid jargon—the current title is fine, and much better than the proposed alternative.

:#Oppose. "Disease-related deaths" sounds like a statistical category that would include all mentions of plague or pestilence, not just specific persons who died from various diseases, which is what the current title suggests. Marcocapelle may be correct about specific categories for types of disease, but "disease-related deaths" would make the scope of the category vaguer.

• Regarding #3, I have been in doubt about "military personnel" too. But I considered that :Category:Ancient Greek military personnel exists. I think a discussion about military personnel should start with that category. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

::Looking over that category, I see that it includes generals, common soldiers, and military engineers, of whom at least the first two could arguably be called "soldiers", but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to include "admirals", and not sure whether "women in Greek warfare" might include non-fighters. So it may be that "military personnel" was chosen simply because the category creator could not think of any other phrase that would include all of these subcategories. Not sure I can think of a better one—certainly not off the top of my head. However, there's no need to limit "Ancient Greeks killed in battle" to soldiers, or some category of combatants including admirals, Amazon warriors, centaurs, etc. (maybe "warriors" would work for the parent category?). "Ancient Greeks" includes all of the above, and potentially other categories—the only limitations being that they were Greek and that they were slain in battle. So we don't need to have a perfect term covering everyone's roles in warfare. P Aculeius (talk) 22:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose renaming :Category:Ancient Greeks killed in battle to :Category:Ancient Greek military personnel killed in action. Basically, all freeborn males might fight for their polis at any time in their adulthood before senescence. They did not need to be conscripted or to sign up for a term of service, or otherwise become "military personnel". Also, narrowing down to the anachronistic "miltary personnel" leaves a gap; would we also need a category such as :Category: Ancient Greeks killed in action who weren't military personnel? BTW re rationale: Ancient Greek is not a nationality. NebY (talk) 19:13, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
• Keep :Category:Ancient Greeks killed in battle. This is an ethnicity rather than a nationality. They will in fact all be soldiers, though occasionally fighting at sea. "Military personnel" is an anachronistic modernism. No view on the rest. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:19, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: it doesn't look as though anyone else is going to comment on these proposals; further relisting seems futile.

:Propose merging :Category:Fictional characters with density control abilities into :Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible

:Nominator's rationale: I'm not totally sure yet, but from my observation of these two categories, there's not much difference between them, and there's significant overlap between both categories. If there's proven to be any real difference between them, then I will withdraw this merging proposal and just leave one of these categories as a subcategory of the other one. AHI-3000 (talk) 01:50, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• It is probably more accurate to check the articles in :Category:Fictional characters with density control abilities one by one and move them to :Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible if applicable. That does not require a CfD nomination (yet). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

• :::::::[https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=26661045 There are exactly 9 matches.] –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:02, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
• ::::::::{{ping|LaundryPizza03}} I decided to take an additional whack at purging these categories myself. We are currently left with 9 articles in the "density control" category that were not also present in the "intangible" category; I moved anything that was in both categories to just "intangible" only.

:So now that we're left with exactly 9 pages in the density category, I'm wondering what to do next? We have a few possible options:

:* Merge :Category:Fictional characters with density control abilities into :Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible as I had originally proposed, but does that idea still even make any sense?

:* Reverse merge :Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible into :Category:Fictional characters with density control abilities, but that idea also sounds iffy to me.

:* Keep both :Category:Fictional characters with density control abilities and :Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible; maybe the former could be a supercategory to the latter?

:* Or maybe there's another option? Merge both categories into a new category with a new name? We could call it something along the lines of "Category:Fictional characters who can turn intangible or control/manipulate density"?

:I'm not really sure yet. If anyone has any other suggestions, please add something below here. AHI-3000 (talk) 07:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose. This nomination seems to be equating density with solidity. True, in comics at least this isn't new; the Vision was initially IIRC able to fly and to pass through walls and people by "reducing his density" and become hard and massive by increasing it. However, Phantom Girl became intangible by "phasing"; she did not become less dense or less massive, and did not float away like a balloon, while Light Lass made objects lighter (thus controlling their density) without making them intangible. Marvel's Sandman can become diffuse and thus in one sense less dense, but not intangible, and so on. In many (most?) cases in comicbook physics, the abilities aren't the same and one is not represented as a subset of the other. NebY (talk) 15:08, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

• Merge as nom. The Venetian Arsenal is a notorious enough shipbuilder to have its own category for ships built there, enough that many ships list it as builder in reliable sources. The first line of article Venetian Arsenal calls it {{tq|responsible for the bulk of the Venetian Republic's naval power from the Late Middle Ages to the early modern period}} and {{tq|"one of the earliest large-scale industrial enterprises in history"}}. The corporate structure is probably not comparable to Anglo-American capitalism, but that's not the topic here. Place Clichy (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

• They should not be merged. Republic of China and People's Republic of China are also seen as two time labels and geographical labels used to differentiate the religious people in China from 1912 to 1949 and Taiwan since 1945 from those religious people in China since 1949. Merging them would cause some unnecessary confusion as many Taiwanese people only accept the tag of Republic of China instead of the tag of China and People's Republic of China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aronlee90 (talk • contribs) 07:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

::That doesn't make much sense to me – why would we combine Taiwanese monks post-1945 with Chinese monks pre-1949 in one category? If these categories are kept, each category's scope should be based on a single combination of place and time period. For instance, :Category:Republic of China Buddhist monks and :Category:People's Republic of China Buddhist monks could be subcategories of :Category:Chinese Buddhist monks by period, covering 1911-1949 and 1949-present respectively. Post-1945 Taiwanese monks should be in :Category:Taiwanese Buddhist monks regardless.

::Likewise it may make sense to keep :Category:Republic of China Taoists (there are other time-period categories in :Category:Chinese Taoists), as well as :Category:Republic of China Buddhists and :Category:People's Republic of China Buddhists as part of :Category:Chinese Buddhists by period.

::On the other hand, :Category:People's Republic of China Tibetan Buddhists should be merged as there seems to be no corresponding set of categories by period. The same appears to be true of :Category:People from the Republic of China by religion. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

• Merge as nom. The common demonym for present-day China (the PRC) is Chinese, as it is for Ming China, Qing China, interwar China etc. It does not bring value to split national categories of people by political regime, unless these people where directly involved in that regime. Taiwanese people are categorized under Taiwanese people. Place Clichy (talk) 18:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
