January 3

Category:1788 establishments in Tahiti

edit
Nominator's rationale: Large tree for only the Kingdom of Tahiti article. Merge/delete per WP:NARROW. –Aidan721 (talk) 23:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Impact and legacy of Taylor Swift

edit
Nominator's rationale: With or without a needlessly repetitive title—having just "impact" or "legacy" would be enough—this category comes off as fancruft. Anything that doesn't even contain those words or Taylor's name in the page titles can be safely removed. We shouldn't turn the website into Swift-o-pedia by lumping simply anything related to her into categories. It might also go against WP:Overcategorization#By being associated with based on the pages I saw it used for. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:32, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As the category's author, allow me to clarify the situation. I created it because Category:Taylor Swift had a few too many entries. To reduce them, I took inspiration from Category:Impact and legacy of Madonna. I do like Swift's music, but I had no intention of creating any fancruft. The vast majority of my edits on Wikipedia are not even related to her. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 22:40, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what the "too many entries" threshold you're referring to is, but for anything she's not personally involved with, one could reasonably remove her main category from those pages. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 22:49, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedian miscellaneous pages

edit
Nominator's rationale: Too broad which is not how categories work. 43.249.196.179 (talk) 22:03, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fiction about giants

edit
Nominator's rationale: merge, no clear distinction between the two categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Forbes 30 Under 30

edit
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining award. Per the article Forbes 30 Under 30, "1,230 people under 30 years old" get this award each year. SMasonGarrison 20:22, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Republican feminists

edit
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between political party and political orientation. SMasonGarrison 18:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Works set in churches

edit
Nominator's rationale: merge, only one article directly in each of these categories, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DISNEY categories

edit
Nominator's rationale: All files, templates, etc. are of NA importance to WP:DISNEY. Redundant to e.g. Category:File-Class Disney pages. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 09:48, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Church buildings in fiction

edit
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to all parents: This also includes Category:Fiction about Christianity and Category:Buildings and structures in fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:32, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:British Columbian provincial electoral districts established in 2023

edit
Nominator's rationale: Proposing that this category should be renamed to Category:British Columbian provincial electoral districts established in 2024. While I understand the rational behind why the category was originally named the way it was (the new destricts where decided upon in 2023), it doesn't make logical sense as they only came into effect (elected members) in 2024. The naming practice included here also doesn't follow what categories for other countries do on Wikipedia. i.e. the UK, where the Category:Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom established in 2024 exists for constrituencies which came into effect (established) in 2024, but were approved in 2023. On the United States, where congressional districts are sorted by the year they are first occupied, i.e. 2023 for North Carolina's 14th congressional district, and not the year they are apportioned and drawn (2021) or first elected (2024). I believe most other countries follow this latter practice as well.

Similar nomination for Category:Canadian federal electoral districts established in 2023 to Category:Canadian federal electoral districts established in 2025, but for new districts starting in 2025. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 05:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Sounds good to me. RedBlueGreen93 22:31, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – The articles are about WHEN the districts were established, which is 2023. It doesn't matter when the vote is held, it matters when the districts went into effect which is the year 2023, hence the name. User:RushtheeditorUser talk:Rushtheeditor 02:31, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:I (newspaper) journalists

edit
Nominator's rationale: Changed name last year, and is ambiguous with i (Portuguese newspaper). Paradoctor (talk) 02:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Black feminists

edit
Nominator's rationale: I'm on the fence between deletion and renaming. SMasonGarrison 01:23, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per various CfD's for the deletion of Category:Black people. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:52, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Intersectional feminists

edit
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between being a feminist and a type of feminism. At the very least, the child categories need to be purged/restored to the parent category. For example, being a Jewish feminist doesn't mean that they're an intersectional feminist. SMasonGarrison 01:21, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Superwog

edit
Nominator's rationale: This category only contains the eponymous category along with two redirections. SMasonGarrison 00:55, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Doctor Who aliens

edit
Nominator's rationale: Two categories with a distinctly similar overlap. The aliens category is bizarrely covering individual characters who happen to be aliens (As well as the Sea Devils for some reason), while the races section is covering the alien species as it is. Due to the high overlap between the cats and the potential for confusion due to the naming, I am proposing to merge both categories into one "Doctor Who aliens" category that can adequately and inclusively cover both categories' content without losing any content.

This has been fixed

Category:Analog Drum Machine

edit
Nominator's rationale: I don't work with categories much, so I have no opinion about whether this category is needed at all. However, if we're going to keep it, it should be renamed "Analog drum machines" (sentence case, plural) for consistency with category names per WP:CATNAME.
