:* Propose renaming :Category:Texts by date to :Category:Texts by period

:* Propose renaming :Category:Plays by date to :Category:Plays by period

:* Propose merging :Category:University linguistics organizations to :Category:Linguistics organizations

:Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. These are organizations that happen to be at universities. That's not very helpful when linguistics is an academic field, so the norm is that organizations are connected with higher education in some way Mason (talk) 04:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

• Split. Strange - when I created those categories I made sure there were at least six articles in each. Some of them must have "ghosted". I've added a second one that I found quickly, but that's still nowhere near enough. Grutness...wha? 05:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
• Single merge to :Category:Reportedly haunted locations in North Carolina, the articles are already in subcategories by type of :Category:Buildings and structures in Raleigh, North Carolina. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:46, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Fictional transhumans}}

:Nominator's rationale: This category and its related subcategories completely misunderstands the definition of "transhuman". These are all superhumans, not transhumans, which is a much more specific thing. There are fictional transhumans (Newtypes from Gundam come to mind) but none are actually listed here. We already have a category :Category:Fictional superhumans so this is not necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:58, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

::Oppose. Your reasoning for deleting this category are just a subjective interpretation of what "transhuman" means. Maybe there's some overlap between "superhuman" and "transhuman", but I don't see a reason to just get rid of the category altogether. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:::Either you see them as identical to superhumans, which appears to be your view, in which case I don't understand why they should be separate. Or you see it as a specific case of "human evolved to be something superior to humans", which is much more specific than simply being, say, a vampire or undead, which can just as easily be monsters. That would mean this category should not be here unless someone can isolate the specific characters that apply. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

• A transhuman is defined as "a being that resembles a human in most respects but who has powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans". While superhumans are defined as "humans, human-like beings or beings with qualities and abilities that exceed those naturally found in humans". That is too close to keep apart. Support nomination (though perhaps it should be a merge instead of deletion). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:* I am striking the "perhaps merge" part of my comment. Zxcvbnm is right that the category contains monsters rather than superhumans. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:Oppose Transhumanism is the basic idea of transforming humans into "beings with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of posthuman beings." The concept typically covers "a new intelligent species, into which humanity will evolve and eventually will supplement or supersede it. " Dimadick (talk) 17:59, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

::My argument is that the category contains no transhumans, so it is a misnomer. You are answering the strawman argument of whether transhumans are notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

:* As :Category:Fictional vampires is a subcategory here, I hope this is not meant to say that humanity may evolve to vampires. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Ottoman-Azerbaijani wars}}

:Nominator's rationale: Anachronistic and revisionist to use "Azerbaijani" in this era and especially to use it when referring to the Turkoman Aq Qoyunlu, and thus unsurprisingly not even used in WP:RS. I already tried to explain it to the creator of the category but to no avail [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Clasus1453&diff=prev&oldid=1197944936]. HistoryofIran (talk) 14:38, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

• The category is currently empty. Dependent on the number of articles that would fit the category might be renamed to :Category:Ottoman-Aq Qoyunlu wars. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
• Comment It looks like this category was emptied before it was nominated. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

::Yeah, this is the second time the user has created this category (the first time it got deleted for being emptied when I reverted them). The reason I took it here this time is so we have a documented reason for its deletion. I'm not sure if :Category:Ottoman-Aq Qoyunlu wars is useful because I'm not sure if Aq Qoyunlu and Ottomans have had a "war" per se? Conflict sure, but something described as a "war" by scholars? Not so sure. A quick glance at ebooks didn't show anything. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:00, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

:::The main article on Aq Qoyunlu covers Ottoman participation in power struggles over the Aq Qoyunlu's leadership position in the 1490s and the 1500s. Dimadick (talk) 17:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

• Comment I thought I'd add that this category is no longer empty. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: As of relisting, the category has one article in it (Battle of Koyulhisar (1461)).
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:50, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

• Delete, with one article in it, the category is not helpful for navigation. That is on top of the issues mentioned earlier. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Marcocapelle. It's OR and doesn't aid navigation. NLeeuw (talk) 17:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
