[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) 05:21, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Non-English. Appears to be an attempt to create an article, but placed in wrong namespace. DB1729 (talk) 21:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. If I overstated my knowledge of Bahasa Malay language, I'd say it was "nil"... but this seems to be a history of the Sabah village of Api-Api. Whatever it is, it isn't a category. Grutness...wha? 14:25, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete as this appears to be someone who was experimenting or put something in the wrong place but it's not a category. --Dan Carkner (talk) 04:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete -- I cannot say articleise, becasue it is not in English. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:22, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete per above. I'm assuming good faith and say that the editor was trying to (incorrectly) export their draft article from user space to category space --Lenticel (talk) 01:58, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Category:Alien zoos in fiction
[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:Fiction about alien zoos. bibliomaniac15 05:43, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, in most articles in this category the concept of "alien zoo" is not mentioned and it is quite a stretch to deduct that the articles are about alien zoos after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Fiction about alien zoos and purge. Much of the contents do not fit the inclusion criteria, but 7 of the 16 articles probably do have this as a defining trait. Here's a rundown of the contents:
- Bomberman 64 (1997 video game): Does not mention a zoo.
- Breeds There a Man...?: Not a zoo, is about an alien biology experiment.
- The Cage (Star Trek: The Original Series): Not a zoo, is about an alien breeding program.
- The Eye of the Beholder (Star Trek: The Animated Series): Zoo is central to the plot.
- Fantastic Planet: Not a zoo, is about humans as pets and an invasive species.
- Fortress of Solitude: Mentions a zoo several times, but unsure if it is significant enough to be a defining trait.
- Fry and Leela's Big Fling: Zoo is central to the plot.
- How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth: Unsure.
- The Menagerie (Star Trek: The Original Series): Not a zoo, is about an alien breeding program.
- People Are Alike All Over: Zoo is important in the plot.
- Planet of the Apes (1968 film): Does not mention a zoo.
- Planet of the Apes (novel): Mentions a zoo, unlike the film; unsure if it is significant in the plot.
- Predators (film): Not a zoo, is about an alien game reserve.
- Slaughterhouse-Five: Mentions a zoo, probably important in the plot.
- The Taybor: Zoo is mentioned, but no evidence it's important in the plot.
- Taz in Escape from Mars: Zoo is central to the plot.
- –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:55, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- Rename/purge per LaundryPizza03, and I'd say keep Slaughterhouse-Five in it (zoo is central to the plot). Grutness...wha? 00:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. The category needs a better defined scope, but this is not a reason for deletion. Dimadick (talk) 20:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:26, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Only one page. Upmerge to parent categories. Gonnym (talk) 13:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment' Sad enough that almost no one is aware and interested enough to populate this category. As a clear case of SMALLCAT it else must be deleted. --Just N. (talk) 12:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Comment, meanwhile two subcategories have been added. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. Many University categories only have the two subcategories for staff and students.Rathfelder (talk) 18:31, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Upmerging would disrupt the tree, which should have one where the main article stands at its head. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:33, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: With only an albums subcategory now, this is an unnecessary eponymous parent category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:07, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: A pair of twin brothers does not a family (or necessary category) make. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- I count only one set of twins in the category, not a pair of twins. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- But a twin is only one person... Nohomersryan (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete and remove as nominated. ✗plicit 01:46, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Propose deleting Category:1560s establishments in Oceania (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:1570s establishments in Oceania (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Propose deleting Category:1580 establishments in Oceania (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

- Propose removing Category:1629 establishments in the Spanish East Indies from Oceania
- Propose removing Category:1780s establishments in the Spanish East Indies from Oceania
- Propose removing Category:1788 establishments in the Spanish East Indies from Oceania
- Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 August 17#Category:17th-century disestablishments in Oceania. The categories listed above for deletion only contain sub-cats for Spanish East Indies. Spanish East Indies were partly in Asia, partly in Oceania. However, all the establishments within these categories were in the Philippines or Taiwan, i.e. Asia, so in practice it is not necessary or helpful to also have them in parents for Oceania. – Fayenatic London 19:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support, the categories do not contain what they say they contain and there is probably no content to populate the categories otherwise. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Grutness...wha? 00:47, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:10, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support -- I am relying on the nom thagt what he says is true. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:28, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
