:* Merge :Category:Fictional alchemists to :Category:Fictional characters who use magic

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_10#Category:Fictional_witches_and_wizards.

Just because someone using magic used some material components, editors label them "alchemists". This is WP:OR.

To quote: Alchemy in art and entertainment: "In twentieth and twenty-first century examples, alchemists are generally presented in a more romantic or mystic light, and often little distinction is made between alchemy, magic, and witchcraft. Alchemy has become a common theme in fantasy fiction."

And many of the characters already are in other subcats of the target (WP:OVERLAPCAT). - jc37 20:11, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Albums arranged by Spencer Dryden}}

:Nominator's rationale: It's usually jazz or orchestral albums that are heavily reliant on arrangements, and the one article in this category only mentions Dryden as responsible for horn arrangements in the credits section. It seems that that wouldn't be any more defining to the album than Dryden being the drummer on the album. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Per other cats in :Category:Characters in fantasy novel series of the 20th century and :Category:Characters in British novels of the 20th century, etc.

:* Delete :Category:Fictional witches by franchise

:* Merge :Category:DC Comics wizards to :Category:DC Comics characters who use magic

:* Merge :Category:Marvel Comics wizards to :Category:Marvel Comics characters who use magic

:* Delete :Category:Fictional wizards by franchise

This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_September_10#Category:Fictional_witches_and_wizards. And as per Magician (fantasy), these terms are used disparately and subjectively by authors - in some cases the only similarity between the characters is the name.

Many of the first 2 categories' entries are merely female characters who use magic, that editors then decide to categorise as "witches". Similar thing with the wizard cats and male magic-users. It's WP:OR.

And it's also WP:OVERLAPCAT, as many are also in the targets. - jc37 17:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
