Nominator's rationale: Since mystery literature virtually always features detectives of either the amateur or professional varieties, and detective literature virtually always involves the protagonist attempting to solve a mystery, I'm struggling to wrap my head around where the meaningful or categorizable distinction would land between a "detective writer" and a "mystery writer". I'm just not seeing a reason why we need two separate trees here. Bearcat (talk) 22:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename for consistency with other sub-categories of Category:Wikipedia meetups. The BLT Bingo sub-cat contains only one page, although 3 more could be added; it should be merged, or renamed to Category:Wikipedia Black Lunch Table Bingo. – Fayenatic London 07:02, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Post-traumatic stress disorder categories

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: speedy rename. WP:INVOLVED does not matter in unopposed speedy cases. – Fayenatic London 12:38, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The page Post-traumatic stress disorder was just hyphenated as per the page consensus. Since these categories all refer to post-traumatic stress disorder (and that page is ultimately the one behind their name), we should rename these categories to stay consistent. It is sloppy to a page named Post-traumatic stress disorder, while the categories directly referring to it use a different spelling (even though a clear consensus said to hyphenate the article). Pinging everyone from the PTSD article renaming discussion (as this is a clear extension of that discussion). @Interstellarity: @Calidum: @ItsPugle: @Amousey: @Biochemistry&Love: @Ozzie10aaaa: @SandyGeorgia: @GPinkerton: @Roxy the dog: @Markworthen: @Randy Kryn: @Stavd3: @Armbrust: I-82-I | TALK 06:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This should be fun. You've pinged all these people for this!! -Roxy the elfin dog . wooF 07:45, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Who else was I supposed to notify? You are the most logical people to ping, having participated in a very similar discussion. I didn't want to only ping some and get accused of meatpuppetry (rightfully so). This is fairly obscure, and would have sat here empty had I not done this.

Category:Otus

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to option A. bibliomaniac15 02:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: The bare title Otus is a disambiguation page, so some renaming is needed. The head article is Scops owl, and the scientific name Otus (bird) redirects there. I am not sure which to use. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:46, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just Otus please, none of the other entries in the disambig would make sense as categories. Otus (owl) if you must (all members of Otus are owls), the scientific name is key is taxonomic classification and Wikipedia's categories following taxonomic Class/Order/Family/Genus and are organized the same way as the scientific names.--Eostrix  (🦉hoot hoot🦉) 11:44, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Eostrix: plenty of the other topics listed at Otus would make viable categories if there is enough coverage of them. The long-standing principle of category names is that they should be no more ambiguous than the equivalent article, so the bare title Otus isn't acceptable. The question is how to disambiguate, and the general principle of WP:PRECISION is to disambiguate only as far as needed. Otus (bird) can apply only to the owl, so we don't need greater precision. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to avoid ambiguity. I do not have a preference between the "(bird)" or "(owl)" disambiguator. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename by option B per leading article and name of all included items. gidonb (talk) 00:15, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
