:* Propose deleting {{lc|Torridness}}

:Nominator's rationale: Hopelessly vague category. I could find several things that have been referred to as "torrid" (e.g. Atmosphere of Venus, Climate of Arizona, 2021 Western North America heat wave). It's because "torridness" is a dictionary word, not a scientifically defined concept. In addition, the eponymous article was deleted as a DICDEF, and the word does not appear in either of the two categorized articles, so the cat fails the verifiability criterion anyway.

Delete, at least for now. What's the scope of geo-stubs? I found :Category:Zhuhai stubs populated by {{tl|Zhuhai-stub}}, and put that cat within :Category:Guangdong geography stubs, with Guangzhou and Shenzhen. But Zhuhai is only used on 17 stub pages, so maybe should be upmerged. – Fayenatic London 23:13, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Keep Zhuhai-geo-stub, now used on 20 pages. I found more Zhuhai-related stubs, and there are now 31 articles in the Zhuhai stubs category. I realised that not all Zhuhai stubs are geographical, so created :Category:Guangdong stubs without discussion – hope that's OK. If Zhuhai-related biographies were added, there would be 60 Zhuhai stubs (see [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=33289656 PetScan].) – Fayenatic London 17:41, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Merge per nom. And I don't see much point to retaining :Category:Multispecific non-avian dinosaur genera if the tree for monotypic genera is merged. Plantdrew (talk) 21:35, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Dual merge into {{cat|Monotypic prehistoric reptile genera}} (excluding {{cat|Monotypic bird genera}}). These currently serve to diffuse that category, and merging will result in a category with thousands of articles, but that's better than cluttering up the {{c|Dinosaur genera}} tree with largely duplicative subcategories. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:13, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Support merge of all categories mentioned per nom. Further discussion about categories and overcategorization can be had at WT:PALEO#Category overabundance in general. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 02:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Delete all (even :Category:Dinosaur genera). Prehistoric genus categories don't have much of a purpose IMO, and getting rid of these would be a good start. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 16:32, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
Keep all they exist to diffuse Monotypic prehistoric reptile genera into sizeable cats per WP:DIFFUSE. If monotypicness/multiypicness is considered non defining than removal all monotypic/multispecific cats including :Category:Extinct monotypic bird genera and :Category:Monotypic bird genera, afterall we shouldn't treat cats on extant animals be treated differently than extinct per geological "recentism" Lavalizard101 (talk) 16:20, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: (manually) merge. This is follow-up from this earlier discussion. "Events" is used here in a vague meaning of anything that happened, while imho we should use the events tree only for organized events such as cultural events and sports events.

Merge per nom. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:39, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Comment - I'm unsure. I agree with "historical events" being redundant. But I'm looking at the parent: :Category:Categories by parameter, and wondering if "categories by" is the best way to go about this. Its parent is :Category:Wikipedia categories, which (per category naming conventions) suggests that this tree is for project cats, not content cats. There's something inherently broken here, I think, or at least some confusion concerning these categories and this set of trees. Are they supposed to only be based upon infobox parameters? That doesn't "seem" to be the limitation of this tree - especially if the plan is to merge "events by" into this set of trees. Maybe "categories by", should become "topics by", or even reverse merge to "events by". I don't know. But I think it's worth discussing to see if we can clarify all of this to make these trees clearer. - jc37 16:02, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
: {{ping|Jc37}} :Category:Wikipedia categories is simply the highest category in the tree of content and other categories. It is called Wikipedia because the whole categorization system exists only within the Wikipedia project. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:58, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
::I thought that was: :Category:Contents.
:::Category:Wikipedia categories is even labelled a maintenance category. And its catdesc even suggests that it isn't for content cats. (It looks like I even added a clarifying link back in 2023.)
::So I think some clarity might be helpful here. - jc37 18:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
:::{{cat|Wikipedia categories}} is the top-level category for all categories that categorize categories. This kind of meta-category is considered a project category, since it's only useful to editors, but the categories it contains may contain content categories. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:53, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
::::Technically, you just defined the whole of the category system. All categories categorise categories.
::::So it comes to: What specific kinds of categories should be in this tree? And how should they be named? And what content should we expect to find in such categories?
::::I dunno, maybe it's because we're being a bit generic in naming here.
::::And to be clear, the reason I'd like to see this de-obfuscated, is because I agree with the nom, we shouldn't need multiple overlapping trees doing the same thing. So let's get a handle on this and work forward from the start. - jc37 19:24, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:05, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Comment: I think the categories currently in events ultimately need to be split into either the existing history tree or a new organized events tree. It seems a lot of the stuff currently in the nominated categories should ideally be somehow accommodated under :Category:History. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:56, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:* Agree. The content of the nominated categories is in the History tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD, this is not {{tqq|a defining characteristic for the large majority of its notable recipients}}; for the vast majority (if not all) of its contents it is not {{tqq|a defining characteristic of the recipient}}. This is something that should be, and already is, covered by a list, not a category. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Keep. Many of the notable recipients in this category are presently listed in the :Category:Collier Trophy recipients, an award given by the National Aeronautic Association that is similar to the Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Award but not considered as prestigious.

The **Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Memorial Award** has been described by NASA as "the space world’s equivalent of an Academy Award." The National Space Club has been a leading voice in advancing the country’s space exploration efforts, and many companies have benefited over the years from being associated with this award. Companies have promoted it in the newspapers, promotional materials, and on their websites when they win this award. There is no question that the award has launched entire careers and companies.

The same companies and organizations currently listed in the :Category:Collier Trophy recipients include:

In addition, other similarly notable companies such as Pan-Am, Raytheon, Rolls-Royce, Garmin, and Gulfstream Aerospace are also included in the :Category:Collier Trophy recipients.

NASA is also listed alongside many other major companies in the :Category:Webby Award winners.
The Event Horizon Telescope is categorized under :Category:Albert Einstein Medal recipients.

Categorization as a **major award** recipient has been considered a {{tqq|a defining characteristic of the recipient}} and because most of the major organizations in the :Category:Nelson P. Jackson Aerospace Memorial Award winners category are already listed in similar award categories, this category should be kept. DJ71park (talk) 14:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

This is WP:OSE. By all means also delete the other category/categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:01, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
I appreciate your enthuiasm, but if you think that this is equivalent to the Collier Trophy, I'm not sure what to say (aside from WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:43, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

{{ping|LibStar}} when making bulk nominations, please use the extra parameter in the template e.g. {{tl|cfm}} to link to the section heading. Or please let me know if you used it and it is not working – I noticed recently that User:Pppery used anchors instead at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_18#Medieval_individual_animals. Also, for merging to multiple targets, you can use {{tl|cfm-double}} to show both targets on the category page, although this is not as important as specifying both in the CFD listing (as you have done here). – Fayenatic London 11:59, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

:Nominator's rationale: No such category scheme exists for :Category:Soundtracks to films by director. In fact, the tree was deleted in a Cfd from September 2018. And this category was part of a mass deletion as the result of that (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Article alerts/Archive 11#CfD).
