May 25

Category:Antonio Nóbrega albums

Nominator's rationale: Single redirect for a non-notable album where target offers no additional info about the album itself. Categorization here offers no navigational benefit. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:30, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television stations in the Lincoln–Hastings–Kearney market

Nominator's rationale: Doesn't make sense to group in a hyphenated market. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 21:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Social commentators

Nominator's rationale: Not a WP:DEFINING characteristic, broadly defined this could describe almost anyone. All of the subcategories by nationality will need to be deleted too. - car chasm (talk) 17:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Public high schools in suburbs of Chicago

Nominator's rationale: Category of dubious utility, grouping schools across several different towns and/or counties. We can categorize schools by the places that they're in, but we do not categorize schools by the places that the places they're in happen to be near. Bearcat (talk) 17:02, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:4th-century BC Seleucid monarchs

Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category. The article is already in Category:3rd-century BC Seleucid monarchs so a second merge target is not needed Marcocapelle (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:YouTube controversies

Nominator's rationale: This category mostly contains individual YouTube personalities who are deemed controversial for one reason or another. Their categorisation here violates WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. I have two suggestions:
  1. Remove the articles about people, channels or videos, leaving behind only the articles about controversial incidents or aspects of YouTube (e.g., YouTube and privacy, Blocking of YouTube videos in Germany, 2011 Slovenian YouTube incident).
  2. If the resulting category is too small, upmerge everything remaining to the parent categories and delete. gnu57 15:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino (women) seasons

Nominator's rationale: "(women)" is redundant with "Feminino", and other subcategories of Category:Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino don't use it. Socccc (talk) 15:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Battlestar Galactica (1978) episodes

Nominator's rationale: As per the other category, Category:Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series) episodes. Spinixster (chat!) 03:33, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Railway stations served by TransPennine Express

Nominator's rationale: TransPennine Express will be superseded by TransPennine Trains on 28 May. Convention is for similar categories at Category:Railway stations in Great Britain by train operating company to be renamed when a franchise changes hands, e.g when Virgins Trains was replaced by Avanti West Coast [1]. Airpopg (talk) 03:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP FOR NOW as it is not clear what name the new government-owned operator will be using. Based on past franchise take overs, it is feasible that TransPennine Trains Ltd will operate under the brand TransPennine Express. So this nomination is too early. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:56, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support after changeover. As per nom, but should only be renamed after the new franchise takes over. Agree with 10mmsocket that we should wait until we know what trading name (I think that's the right term) that the new operator will use. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 07:03, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per 10mmsocket, the convention is to use the trading name and we don't know yet what that will be. In the two most recent cases where the operator of last resort as taken over the "Southeastern" and "Northern" brands were retained, so in the absence of an official announcement to the contrary we should expect the same to happen here (see also WP:CRYSTAL). If it does change, then we should change our categories only after it takes effect. Thryduulf (talk) 11:26, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, TransPennine Express brand is transferring to the new operator, so a rename of the category won't be required. Blamelstone (talk) 14:08, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: It has been confirmed by TransPennine Trains that they will operate as TransPennine Express, so this proposal can be closed.

Category:Novels set in fictional villages

Nominator's rationale: So many novels are set in fictional villages that this doesn't really seem to be a defining category. DonIago (talk) 02:58, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Doniago, The Man in Question, Dimadick, Aidan721, RevelationDirect, 4meter4, and Kaffet i halsen: I have added the siblings to the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:14, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Closer This is obviously meant as an expansion of the earlier iVote by @Aidan721:, not an additional iVote. - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:29, 29 May 2023 (UTC) [reply]
@Marcocapelle: Took the liberty of adding these to the header of your nomination to make the change clearer without digging through the comments. - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:18, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note to Closer The 2 additional cats were formally added to the nomination just before the time stamp of this comment. Please leave at least 7 days from this point before closing. (@4meter4: This addresses your valid procedural concern about leaving enough time to reach consensus.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
