Nominator's rationale: delete, non-defining secondary title of early medieval Byzantine emperors. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion, @Avilich, Dimadick, No Great Shaker, Peterkingiron, and Laurel Lodged: pinging contributors to that discussion.

The result of the discussion was: delete, I will add Category:LGBT Wikipedians as a parent to the second parent category - feel free to change if that is not the best solution (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:04, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This two-element container category (both members of which are themselves of dubious utility) provides no navigational value, as its two subcategories have no more in common with each other than they do with, for example, other subcategories of Category:LGBT Wikipedians. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:18, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2020s in police brutality

[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 Category:Police brutality in the 2020s. bibliomaniac15 18:53, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "In police brutality" looks ungrammatical in this context, as it's not a country or other entity where "in" could be applicable. Brandmeistertalk 16:36, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have combined two items that are obviously similar. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:21, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Coulrophilia

[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: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:11, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The only article that (per WP:CATV) could ever properly be in this category is Coulrophilia, a recently created article itself of dubious notability and by the same editor as this category. (Note the comments made at Talk:Coulrophilia.) Every other listing here appears to be original research. Crossroads -talk- 07:38, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A categorisation does not lose validity just because there is a unique membership to it: like African-American Presidents of the USA, female Swedish Prime Ministers, female Australian Prime Ministers, or even Widowed Academy Award winning French Polish-American rapists.
It stands as useful to bring together the instances where this certain class of performers and fictional characters are treated in the context of loving fascination & eroticism. Expect other things such as publications to be brought into it.
Plus what you say does not hold water: how could you exclude the late artist honored as Queen of Clown Porn from its purview ?? Or do people patronise viewing fetishes that are not in some way an arousal for them?
And would you therefore logically and consistently also exclude the King of Pop from Category:Motown artists? SAMBLAman (talk) 09:44, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you add the detail that said deletion was 15 years ago, then again 5 years ago and both times for being 'dictionary definitions' (9 word or so orphaned articles): a pretty simple and obvious issue. In the years since a score of refs have been assembled but still a way is found not to examine those sources one by one (and some are from publications with long and/or award-winning reputations). Now tell me that was "just a dictionary definition". SAMBLAman (talk) 04:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, the repeated deletions of the coulrophilia article, the non-notable and unreliable citations that filled the again-deleted article usually without mentioning the term at all, the circular and insular nature of the category, and the fact that this neologistic variant of psychiatric terminology is not an actual diagnosis and is therefore inherently misleading. Doczilla @SUPERHEROLOGIST 07:23, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You think balloon fetish exists among psychiatric diagnoses? No, it's just a commonly understood description of a particular tendency. Here we have another tendency popularly referred to as clown fetish, among other terms. It is most convenient for you to badmouth the citations when you yourself nuked the article in avoidance of a process of having community appraisal of them: talk page deliberation, which may escalate to AfD vote only after getting to the point of intractability. Instead WP:G4 was abused by speed-deleting something that was NOT "substantially identical to the (2016) previously deleted version". That previous version, which I've never seen, is admitted to have been just a "dictionary definition". Yah well this goes far beyond that. User:David Gerard has actually been here long enough to know better about the corruption committed in abrogating the minimum earned due process, & that has enlarged by having knock-on prejudicial effects upon the category and template retention discussions presently in process. Why doesn't he recall that stuffup and go back so it gets dealt with by the correct application of our policies?? SAMBLAman (talk) 08:58, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Images of Szidi Tobias

[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 and reparent (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 02:32, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: While the album covers do contain images of Szidi Tobias, the proper scheme for such image files should follow that of Category:Album covers by recording artist with the category then being parented accordingly.
