The result of the discussion was: dual merge Timrollpickering (talk) 10:44, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete. C1 speedy deleted. The Bushranger One ping only 09:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category overlaps heavily with a much other category. I've already warned the category creator to slow down. They're extremely new. SMasonGarrison 14:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep Category:Fictional travelers. Containerize Category:Travelers and Category:Female travelers. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It is tough to understand how this could possibly be defining. Most everyone is a traveler at some point, so it's simply too vague to function as a category. Furthermore, many of the categories herein make no sense. Migrants and stowaways are not necessarily travelers by nature, but are taking a potentially one-time journey. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:53, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we should containerize the Category:Travelers and Category:Female travelers, per marco. I'm neutral on the rest. SMasonGarrison 15:09, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose merging. Humans haven't always been as mobile as they are in the present. "Traveler" (or one of its subcategories, rather) is precisely the kind of category that I'd expect for articles like Ibn Battuta or Marco Polo (and, indeed, they are included in travel writer categories that are subcategories of the tree created by the traveler category). I would support containerizing them, except then what would be category for non-biography articles like list of travelers (which is definitely about travelers) or Women and the Grand Tour (which is definitely about female travel)? Whatever happens, though, these categories should not be simply merged to the parent "by behavior" categories. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 12:26, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 12:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, isolated and poorly populated categories, not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recreational weapons

The result of the discussion was: Delete Timrollpickering (talk) 12:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Even standard weapons can be used for recreational (i.e. hunting) purposes, making what constitutes a "recreational" weapon vague at best. I suggest deleting it, with the exception of Category:Toy weapons which should be upmerged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Pejorative terms for people Timrollpickering (talk) 12:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too long and clunky, this gets the point across more concisely. Qualiesin (talk) 01:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Merge or rename? I am not seeing explicit opposition to the rename if there is no consensus to merge, given Marcocapelle sees both names as equally unhelpful. Feel free to correct me, however!

Category:Mayors of Barcelona City Council

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 Timrollpickering (talk) 12:48, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Mayors in Spain are members of the city council, but at least the WP:COMMONNAME of the job is "Mayor of Barcelona", just like all other Mayor categories for Spain, at least. Couple of press sources, many more [1] [2]. Official website in English. [3]. An analogy to the current title would be "prime minister of the British House of Commons"; the prime minister sits in the HoC yes, but that is far from the most common title. Unknown Temptation (talk) 20:41, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Unknown Temptation I concur. Your proposal makes a lot of sense. There is no other use of 'Mayor of Barcelona' as a title or for anything else for that matter. Plus, the Spanish and Catalan categories for this are both 'Alcaldes de Barcelona', a word-for-word translation of what you've proposed. Along the lines of PM of the British HoC, imagine if people called Charles III by his full formal title... Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. It's excessive. Montezuma69 (talk) 03:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Reality by type

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 12:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most of these aren't really a type of reality, but a way of interpreting or adding onto reality. The title being misleading as it is, it's best to simply merge them back to the parent category. Alternatively, this category may be deleted instead as simply WP:SHAREDNAME without relation to the scientific or philosophical concept of reality. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: As well as being unneeded differenciations, some have very few entries and, as most television characters who have Wikipedia articles originate from dramas, it seems redundant to split these. FishLoveHam (talk) 20:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
