:The result of the discussion was: keep. Totally withdrawn by nominator, no opposition. (non-admin closure) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Video game fandom}}

:Nominator's rationale: This category is redundant, we already have "Video game culture" with already covers the video game subculture, comprising all the fans. This category is actually pointless, so it can merged with that category or just deleted. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 21:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

• Retain. "Fandom" (i.e., what fans band together to do) seems to me as a pretty clear subset of the much broader "culture". The articles in this subcategory would be lost in the larger category whereas they form a distinct group when split out. czar 02:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
• : Keep. I did not even figure this through, so let's not delete it. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 18:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
• :* {{ping|QuantumFoam66}} well please do so next time before you start a discussion. See also WP:BEFORE which is not literally applicable to categories, but the message of it is 'do your homework first'. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 01:59, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Fictional puppets to :Category:Fictional dolls and dummies

:Nominator's rationale: Created by a blocked disruptive user. When the category is purged of all irrelevant pages that are not about individual characters or objects, there are not enough articles to support such a specific category. Per WP:OVERLAPCAT it should be merged to the parent. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

• Merge, puppets are apparently handled by a puppeteer and this category does not contain a lot of that. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename and reorganize. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 02:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Pet insurance to :Category:Pet insurance companies

:Nominator's rationale: Four out of five entries are insurance companies/providers, and the fifth is the main topic. I don't see anything else that would be worth including here, so I figure refiguring the scope of the cat, moving it to :Category:Insurance companies, upmerging said main topic to :Category:Types of insurance, and including it via {{t|catmain}} would be sensible.

• Rename and reorganize per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|The Bangles video albums}}

:Nominator's rationale: Sole entry is a non-notable redirect. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:13, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

::Delete per nom. This redirect goes to an article in :Category:The Bangles. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
