Category:Clichés

[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. Timrollpickering 10:44, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Try searching for "cliché" in the AfD archives or go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of film and television clichés. Many articles, such as Cartoon physics, do not use the word "cliché" anywhere. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:13, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - this is 'articles whose name is a cliché', which doesn't work as the article is not about a cliché. Eg Prince Charming is about a fairy-tale character, not a cliché. There could be an article Prince Charming (cliché) about the phrase but there isn't. Oculi (talk) 23:08, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recipients of the Pour le Mérite for Arts and Sciences

[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: merge. – Fayenatic London 22:31, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Both categories are essentially the same. Pour le Mérite for Arts and Sciences is the civil class of the order. Grimes2 (talk) 10:35, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment from the article The revived civil order of the Pour le Mérite is awarded for achievements in the arts and sciences. Active membership is limited to 40 German citizens, ten each in the fields of humanities, natural science, and medicine and the arts. Honorary membership can be conferred on foreigners, again to the limit of 40. When a vacancy occurs, the remaining members select a new inductee the two categories have 166 & 188 recipients, both larger sized categories, the award is now limited to 40 active members the category should be redefined to active(in the main category) with 4 separate groupings humanities, natural science, medicine, and arts as sub cats. with a possible need for historical category for the earlier period prior to the divisions. Gnangarra 08:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least something should happen here. I'm neutral between merging as proposed and splitting as alternatively proposed, both are an improvement to the current situation. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:20, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 21:43, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
merging or splitting: Splitting is complicated and a lot of work. Merging is easily done. The order has around 500 members (dead and alive), this is not to much for a category. I think its better to keep the complete order together and not to split. Grimes2 (talk) 13:07, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 22:17, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, this is mainly a container category but the topic of each of the subcategories is only vaguely related to "assumptions". Marcocapelle (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I think in theory one could create a cat about types of assumption, like axioms, hypotheses, a priori beliefs, etc. But the current cat is a grab bag of vaguely related concepts that makes this cat currently non-defining. --Mark viking (talk) 22:56, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom & purely subjective (take misconceptions; not everyone holds those misconceptions nor assumes them as opposed to (il-)logically derived them). Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:55, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Convert Category:Batman characters to article List of Batman characters
Nominator's rationale: List(s) appear to be more appropriate than categories per prior CFDs[1][2], and discussion at WT:COMIC appears to favor lists over categories in cases like this. DonIago (talk) 13:39, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just a heads up. There is already a List of Batman supporting characters for the allies and List of Batman Family adversaries for the antagonists. Jhenderson 777 14:03, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would you say this should be a straight-up delete instead then? DonIago (talk) 14:19, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am neutral on it. Hence why I just commented. If I had to choose I think it’s a keep if it stays central to Gotham City characters mostly (with the exception of Deathstroke). But one can make that argument with X-Men character being just being mutants/supporting characters/rogues etc.from X-titles and that was deleted. Jhenderson 777 15:03, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I'd be interested to see the discussion that resulted in the deletion of Category:X-Men characters, as I can't find it in the archive. I actually think that this is as viable a category for literary characters as, say Category:James Bond characters or Category:Sherlock Holmes characters, etc, etc. --woodensuperman 15:00, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your name reminds me that I am surprised there ain’t a Superman one. Keep in mind that there is a category of the DC/Marvel shared universe superhero/supervillains and of just characters apparently which is a huge enough category. Jhenderson 777 15:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Superman characters? --woodensuperman 15:16, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok there is one. But it's doing things a little bit different than like Spider-Man characters or Batman characters.I don't even see Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White or Lex Luthor on there. There's got to be some consistency on how these are treated I think. Jhenderson 777 15:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that seems odd to me too, you'd certainly expect to see those in there. Some of them are in Category:Smallville characters though... --woodensuperman 15:33, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Robin, Batgirl, Catwoman, Penguin, Joker, etc, etc, are all clearly "Batman characters". It's certainly a lot better as a category than as a navbox such as {{Batman characters}}. --woodensuperman 14:27, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While I'm not arguing about those specific characters, what makes them clearly Batman characters? Is Dick Grayson clearly a Batman character after his time with the Titans? Is Jason Todd clearly a Batman character, since he's been leading the Outlaws since 2012 or so? Superman has appeared in Batman comic books for decades. Is he clearly a Batman character? Where's the demarcation? Argento Surfer (talk) 15:43, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you must have demarcation, then maybe the comics from which a character originated? But I don't think we should be too strict on that, as characters evolve. --woodensuperman 15:58, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there's no demarcation, then it's not clearly defined. And if it's about which comic a character originated in, then this category should not include anyone who first appeared in Detective Comics, Legends of the Dark Knight, or any of the various movies or tv shows. That means that Batman himself would not be a Batman character. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:53, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 10:45, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This was nominated for speedy renaming, but that was opposed on the grounds that the category is promotional and fails WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. – Fayenatic London 09:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sports events by city in Greece

[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 10:46, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For consistency within Category:Sports competitions by city. All other city categories were renamed to "competitions" per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_April_28#Category:Sports_events_by_city, except for one that was upmerged. The rationale was "This division between events and competitions does not aid navigation as duplicate content is spread across two trees. Non-competition sports events are so uncommon as not to warrant subdivision at city level." Renaming this last group was not accepted as a Speedy nomination, since the renaming would be inconsistent with the immediate parents (Category:Sports events in Attica, Category:Sports events in Central Macedonia and Category:Sports events in Western Greece), which currently also just hold competitions. The wider sports events tree needs further consideration, since it has a mixture of category names using "sports events" and "sporting events"; but this nomination is just to finish the work on the layer for cities. – Fayenatic London 09:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
