November 27

Category:Fictional characters by gender

Nominator's rationale: Seems like WP:NARROWCAT. I think we all know these are genders, there's no need for a separate category to explain as such to people. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Television shows set in Wales by city

Nominator's rationale: There's only likely ever to be one category in this category (Wales' other major cities, Swansea and Newport are not centres of TV production to my knowledge) therefore this is an unnecessary category step. I suggest Category:Television shows set in Cardiff‎ is upmerged to the parent categories. Sionk (talk) 23:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The articles are already in established category trees. There's nothing to stop those two Swansea TV series being put in Category:Culture in Swansea anyway. SMALLCAT is designed to prevent categories containing only one or two items (which would make them difficult to find).Sionk (talk) 12:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SMALLCAT doesn't apply any more. It has been deprecated. --woodensuperman 13:38, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I meant to say "Overcategorization guidance", per my opening remarks. Sionk (talk) 16:38, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Magical girl characters in anime and manga

Nominator's rationale: Case of clear WP:OVERLAPCAT given that being a "magical girl" generally implies anime or manga origin. If anything, the ones in the parent category should probably be removed as miscategorized. Simply being a woman who uses magical powers does not imply being part of the magical girl genre. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cashew fruit drinks

Nominator's rationale: I created these categories when I thought that cashew fruit and cashew apple were interchangeable terms, but I've now learned that cashew apple always refers to the false fruit that the cashew nut grows on. I used cashew fruit because it looked like the more utilized term according to google search trends. BaduFerreira (talk) 15:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century Nauruan people by occupation

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one category in here, which is not helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 14:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Irish TV programme presenters

Nominator's rationale: Clear breach of WP:PERFCAT --woodensuperman 11:20, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mexico City International Tournament

Nominator's rationale: Single purpose category zoglophie•talk• 11:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Badminton tournaments in Mexico. This could have been speedy merged. Mason (talk) 14:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rabbis by state in the United States

Nominator's rationale: To match the name with the parent category Category:Jews and Judaism in the United States by state and other similarly names categories. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Robot Wars (TV series) presenters

Nominator's rationale: Textbook WP:PERFCAT --woodensuperman 08:54, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murders in Kyrgyzstan by decade

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. Only one category in here, that's not helpful for navigation Mason (talk) 02:19, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Non-profit organizations based in Unionville, Virginia

Nominator's rationale: as per WP:SMALLCAT. The one entry is under prod at the moment. LibStar (talk) 02:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century crimes in the Russian Empire

Nominator's rationale: overlapping category. it's not helpful to have two separate categories in the same century. The norm is for the 20th-century category to say "Russia" not empire Mason (talk) 01:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merging Saying there should beno overlapping categories ignores the fall of four empires after or during WWI (the Austro-Hungarian empire, German Empire, Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire!). There are 20th century decades for several – Category:1910s in Austria-Hungary and Category:1920s in the Ottoman Empire. Other Empires by decade are Category:Decades in the Italian Empire from the 1880s to te 1940s. And if merging to “Russia” it should be by decade ie to Category:1910s crimes in Russia and Category:1920s crimes in Russia to go with Category:1970s crimes in Russia. Note that Category:Years in the Soviet Union runs from 1922 to 1991. Hugo999 (talk) 03:46, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional martial arts trainers

Nominator's rationale: This category was created by a dubious account, but I think it would be defining if renamed to align with the "martial arts master" stock character. I don't think simply being a "trainer" is defining, however. It has to be their entire character and some, like Batman, must be purged from the category. (Mr. Miyagi, Master Roshi and Yoda would stay in). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:17, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Matches the equivalent real-world category, Category:Martial arts trainers. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlastertalk 00:27, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per LaundryPizza03's argument. Dimadick (talk) 04:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for same reasons AHI-3000 (talk) 19:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
