:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Films set in the West Bank. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:12, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Films set in the Israeli Military Governorate to :Category:Films set in the West Bank

:Nominator's rationale: merge, West Bank is a more specific location of setting of the only article in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:23, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

::Do you have a source to prove the film only takes place in the West Bank and not in other territories of the entity? The IMG also has historic implications, which the wording WB does not contain. So, as this is neutral/defining/verifiable, Oppose. I cannot see the benefit that would be brought by making things less precise. Feel free to add the category about WB if the film is partly set there, though. -Mushy Yank. 13:14, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:

• The only article in the category mentions the Judaean Desert. If not in Israel (which this category implies) then it must be in the West Bank. We can also delete the category altogether, as it is not clear where exactly the one film is set. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:29, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
• Merge per nom, the meeting in the "Judaean Desert" is with PLO representatives so the West Bank is evidently meant. The film also belongs in :Category:Films set in Israel for other scenes e.g. near Tel Aviv. – Fayenatic London 20:12, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Energy infrastructure closed in 1975}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Energy infrastructure by year of closing}}

:Nominator's rationale: Novel category freshly created for just one thing. We have no other "Energy infrastructure closed in YYYY" categories for any other year (as witness the fact that "by year of closing" also had to be freshly created just to parent 1975, and has no other contents), so this is hardly needed for just one thing -- but it's unlikely that there's any editorial will to actually start creating or populating such categories now, as they would likely already exist if they were actually wanted or needed.

:Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only two subcategories, of which one subcategory does not even entirely belong here. No need to merge, both subcategories are already in the tree of :Category:Works based on literature. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:24, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Landslide victories}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Landslide victories in Canada}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Landslide victories in the United Kingdom}}

:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. User:Namiba 14:18, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. The exact threshold of a "landslide victory" is unclear. Consider also cleaning up the article Landslide victory by only including elections described in RS as landslide victories. -insert valid name here- (talk) 16:26, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Delete. There's no clear or objective definition of what constitutes a "landslide" election victory, as the term is quite routinely overused to mean almost any election victory the user wants to portray as such — I've even seen elections with modest victory margins of 52-48 or 51-49 described as "landslides", when they were obviously nothing of the sort. In my experience, it's typically used less as an objective description of the election itself, and more as an ideologically loaded assertion that the winner has a mandate and thus the opposition has to STFU and support anything the winner demands without comment or pushback. So inclusion in these categories comes down to matters of opinion, rather than clearly quantifiable fact. Bearcat (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge to :Category:Trickster deities. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:49, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Greco-Roman Trickster deities}}

:Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary container of Greek and Roman tricksters with not enough contents to justify its need. :Category:Trickster deities isn't otherwise subcategorised by culture. Also "trickster" in the title obviously doesn't need a capital so it should be speedy renamed if kept. Mclay1 (talk) 12:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:United States Anglican church stubs to :Category:Episcopal Church (United States) church stubs

:Nominator's rationale: At world scale, the Anglican Communion comprises several Christian denominations, among others: the {{cl|Scottish Episcopal Church}}, the {{cl|Church of South India}}, etc. In particular, my nomination proposal is related to the Episcopal Church of the United States, specifically its church building-related stubs. Right now there are [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=33769699 over 500 stubs]. So, I am proposing the aforementioned renaming fron {{cl|United States Anglican church stubs}} to {{cl|Episcopal Church (United States) church stubs}} (itself a subcategory of {{cl|Anglican church stubs}}). Best, --Fadesga (talk) 23:17, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

• What about the Anglican Church in North America? Marcocapelle (talk) 02:59, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Marcocapelle}} Thanks for your suggestion. But there is yet another problem. The Anglican Church in North America (established 2009) split from the Episcopal Church of the United States (established much earlier, in 1821), so they are two separate church bodies; both are part, though, of the worldwide Anglican Communion. That is the real problem here: on the one side, a rather big denomination with [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=33769699 over 500 stubs] (all of them church buildings), and on the other side, a much smaller denomination with [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=33776904 less than 40 stubs] (of which, [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=33777426 only 5 church stubs]. Maybe this tiny church stub category should be put into yet another different category. And that is why I am asking for a category renaming. Best, --Fadesga (talk) 10:45, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

:* {{ping|Fadesga}} :Category:United States Presbyterian church stubs is also a stub category for a denominational family rather than for a single denomination, and what is wrong with it? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:36, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

::* {{ping|Marcocapelle}} OK, I have further read about Anglicanism in general, and finding an ideal solution is difficult indeed. So: what about an inclusive solution? The idea is as follows. There is already the {{tl|US-Anglican-bishop-stub}} with the qualifier "about an American Episcopal or Anglican bishop..." (look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:US-Anglican-bishop-stub&oldid=911719254 this template edition]). So I believe this idea could be further adapted, such as {{tl|US-anglican-church-stub}} with the qualifier "about an American Episcopal or Anglican church..." What do you think of it? Best, --Fadesga (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

:::* {{ping|Fadesga}} that sounds perfectly reasonable. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:32, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:

• To my best understanding we have consensus not to change the category name, but only change the description. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:Agree with Marcocapelle. Do not forget: the US Episcopal Church is part of the Anglican Communion, and there are some split church bodies in the US that are "Anglican" but not "Episcopal". Fadesga (talk) 11:44, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|4th millennium}}

:Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layer with only one subcategory and one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

• Delete This is a surprisingly hard one, since Zeitpyramide doesn't obviously fit anywhere else into :Category:Future. But then it can go directly into that category unless there is a better option. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:41, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

:

• Comment I'm unsure as :Category:Fiction set in the 4th millennium is a full category and I'm not sure where else it would be categorized. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
• Comment If kept, this needs renaming to {{cl|4th millennium CE}} to distinguish it from {{cl|4th millennium BC}}. I just added 19th century Comet Donati, set to return around 3600, and Jonathon Keats, for his millennium camera image to be exhibited in 3015. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paradoctor (talk • contribs) 00:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
• Comment - I wouldn't have said so - all other CE millennia are listed just as "Xth millennium". CE is default, and also avoids arguments about CE/AD. Grutness...wha? 15:22, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:

• Meanwhile there are three articles in the category instead of one, but 4th millennium is hardly a defining characteristic for any of the three and the three articles really have nothing in common. Zeitpyramide sits in :Category:Unfinished sculptures and is perfectly fine there, the other two articles do not require any "future" categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• :Indeed, the connection for Jonathon Keats is tenuous at best — a very short paragraph about one of his art projects which will complete in 3015. Same with Comet Donati, for which the date of its next visit to the inner Solar System is highly uncertain but will be in {{circa|3597}}. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:35, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Listing per request of Jc37. No opinion on the merits; I will let them give an actual rationale. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:12, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you so much to HouseBlaster for helping list these nominations : ) - jc37 04:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

• Ok, so the goal here is to remove usage of the word "mythological". As noted here, usage of Mythology has the issue that it is both legendary, and also can be considered religion. So with that in mind, the goal is to minimise the usage to those things which are "mythology as religion" - gods/deities; and archetypes - types of humans, animals, objects and geographic locations. But not named legendary people, peoples, or locations. And due to WP:OVERLAPCAT, grouping non-real-world creatures using the adjective "Legendary", which allows for the broader grouping. More distinction than this requires the use of a List, due to the Disadvantages of a category. Once this is all done, it should be easier to take a look at other such named categories. I'll copy/paste this to each of the related noms on this page. I separated them by type for easier discussions. - jc37 04:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• :As an option, could alternatively rename to "Category:Legendary X in mythology". - jc37 04:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• ::Just a general comment to respond to various comments in the noms below. - There is a difference between "myth", "mythic", "mythological", "mythology", "in mythology", "of mythology", etc. And so are "Legendary", "Legend", "in legend", etc.
• ::That said, this nom was rushed (no one's fault but mine), and there were comments added even before I added what I wrote above. So rather than go through and explain and source the whys and wherefores of the noms and also how we need to follow Wikipedia policy, I think I'll withdraw this for now, and save everyone some time here. - jc37 08:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
• :Sorry, but I have to say that I'm finding the logic here very difficult to understand. You seem to be arguing that the word "mythological" denotes something distinct from the word "mythology". But the word "mythology" is simply the adjectival form of "mythology", meaning that, by definiton, it simply describes something which belongs to or relates to mythology.
• :You say that {{tq|Mythology has the issue that it is both legendary, and also can be considered religion}}. I have to say I'm really not seeing the issue with this. I would say that the words "mythological" and "legendary" are relatively similar, and are probably interchangeable in a number of contexts; the main difference, in my view, is that "legendary" tends to denote things which are "closer" to history. For example, no one would describe Erebus as "legendary", while for a figure such as Musaeus of Athens the label seems more appropriate than "mythical". A look at the entries in the OCD that use the word "legendary" would seem to roughly align with this.
• :As to {{tq|Mythology [...] can be considered religion}}, as well as {{tq|in some sources, [mythology] is synonymous with religion}}: can it, and is it? I'm not sure these statements make that much sense. Of course some myths are of greater religious significance than others – some may be closely linked with specific rituals, while others might be simple literary inventions – but this doesn't by any measure mean that mythology is religion. Perhaps what you meant is that Greek mythology (for instance) can be considered an aspect of ancient Greek religion? But I certainly don't see why any of this necessitates avoidance of the word "mythological" in favour of "mythology". – Michael Aurel (talk) 07:02, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

• Strong oppose Changes it from defining to non-defining by allowing in works tangentially related to the subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• I do not follow the rationale. Mythology (e.g. Greek, Norse and Hindu mythology) also contains named people, peoples and locations. It would be a quite random move to exclude these. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Comment Other than a stylistic change in the title, I don't see any actual impact on scope from this suggestion. Dimadick (talk) 06:51, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. I don't see the point. "Mythological" means "in mythology", so you won't remove any deities from any of the categories - they new names seem to cover exactly the same thing. Also, as zxcvbnm says, "in mythology" widens the scope as it can include non-mythological items. You're simply making the category use less rigorous. Cerberus, for example, is a mythological animal that is an animal in mythology, but a wolf is an animal found in mythology that is not a mythological animal (i.e., it exists). Sadly, jc37's alternative just makes for a more convoluted name meaning the same as the current name. Grutness...wha? 06:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. As others have pointed out, this broadens the scope of the listed categories. Grutness's example of Cerberus and a wolf effectively demonstrates this. This is also implied by the fact that a handful of the categories above are elements of their proposed renaming targets; for example, :Category:Mythological forests and :Category:Mythological plants are elements of :Category:Forests in mythology and :Category:Plants in mythology, respectively. – Michael Aurel (talk) 07:13, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per other arguments above. Some "X in mythology" categories are worth having but not all and not instead of "Mythological X" categories. Mclay1 (talk) 12:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. "In mythology" is not meaningfully different than "mythological". And as correctly pointed out, "in mythology" widens the scope of articles that could be included, but in a non-defining manner. Deiadameian (talk) 8:23, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

• :That's actually not true. There are legends which may not be based upon anything at all. And Myths which do have evidence of their existence. And mythology is a grouping of stories, which for some helps comprise religion. And besides, we on Wikipedia should not be the ones to decide what may or may not be real. A story is a story.

And if the goal is to change the scope of the categories to exclude articles about mythology, then I don't understand that at all. Mclay1 (talk) 12:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per arguments in "Mythological foo" Grutness...wha? 15:16, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. "Myth" and "legend" mean different things; neither one necessarily means "fictional", but insofar as these categories all relate to mythology, this proposal makes no sense. "Mythological" has a distinct technical meaning; "legendary" does not. While its meaning is clearer when applied to creatures instead of people, creatures occurring in mythology are just as worthy of inclusion under that heading, and many legendary creatures don't appear in mythology, so "mythological" is still an important distinction.

• I support renaming :Category:Mythological kings of Denmark, these are kings who have been presumed to be historical. In Sweden we similarly have :Category:Semi-legendary kings of Sweden. But I oppose :Category:Mythological kings of Anga as the subject in the category comes from Hindu mythology. We really have to evaluate each category separately, so procedural oppose because this is too much at once and not necessarily all similar. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per my response to the nominator's reasoning in the "Mythological foo" discussion, on the basis that I'm unable to understand why they think the word "mythological" must be avoided. That said, I'm inclined to agree with Marcocapelle that some of the categories probably would benefit from being renamed in this manner.

::The technical definition of a "myth" is a traditional story used to explain something (the origin of the world, the nature of the gods, the purpose of a ritual or taboo, the ancient history of a people, etc.). That the story is part of their mythology doesn't make it untrue; in fact, it's teaching a form of "truth", whether the people or events described are historical or merely allegorical—something that often cannot be determined. There might be a historical basis for the myths, but that's not their essential "truth". P Aculeius (talk) 13:06, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. The articles in these categories are almost entirely from Greek mythology so the nomination makes no sense. Mclay1 (talk) 12:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose both substituting "legendary" for "mythological" (strongly), and replacing plurals with "people". The use of "mythological" here is technical: of or relating to myth or mythology, not "fictional, imaginary". "Legendary" is more ambiguous, and better confined to individual persons, where my preference is still to avoid using it to imply that someone did not exist; rather I use it to indicate that the person is the subject of legend (not necessarily occurring in mythology), irrespective of historicity. The change to "people" just makes the titles wordier, and perhaps "fussier" for no reason; animals—aside from mythological beings such as fauns or centaurs—don't need to be distinguished from people. Objects aren't going to be referred to this way. "Locrians" is normally understood to describe people (perhaps including centaurs), not tables, wagons, cabbages, or boulders. There may be individual instances where "people" is helpful, but most of the time it's not. P Aculeius (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Warner Bros. Animation animated films to :Category:Warner Bros. Animation films

:* Propose renaming :Category:Warner Bros. Animation animated short films to :Category:Warner Bros. Animation short films

:Nominator's rationale: The word "animation" can be dropped from the title since the studio is named "Warner Bros. Animation" it specifically would only produce films with animation. RanDom 404 (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
