The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 22:52, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge; three way intersection between gender, a sport, and a profession. There's no other sport specific women journalist category except this. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The first category is currently mis-named as a list. Its contents are national templates. Both only contain navigational boxes, so might as well be renamed accordingly. – Fayenatic London 16:19, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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: keep. (non-admin closure) ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a combination of articles related to the Labyrinth from Greek mythology and a collection of other unrelated things that use the word labyrinth or look like a labyrinth. There is no meaningful distinction between a maze and a labyrinth to need to categorise those mazes separately, and there doesn't appear to be enough articles related to the original Labyrinth that it needs its own category. The Greek mythology articles are already connected through other Greek mythology categories. Anything inspired by the Labyrinth can go in a category such as Category:Classical mythology in popular culture. MClay1 (talk) 12:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. In modern usage there is a meaningful distinction between a maze and a labyrinth. A maze is a form of puzzle, with branching paths. A labyrinth has just one path and is used for contemplation. They're two distinct architectural forms with distinct purposes and histories. That distinction isn't very well explained in our coverage right now, but it should be. The ancient Labyrinth (which was the Labyrinth, i.e. the one the Minotaur lived in) is a third topic. I'm not quite sure how best to reflect that in categories—perhaps with Category:Labyrinths listed under Category:Mazes and Category:Labyrinth or Category:The Labyrinth for the ancient stuff?—but in any case it shouldn't be deleted. – Joe (talk) 12:29, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, that distinction between maze and labyrinth is not universal, and there are not enough articles about such labyrinths to require a separate category. Looking at the current contents, only three or four of the articles are about architectural labyrinths. Mclay1 (talk) 14:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. There does seem to be a meaningful distinction between a maze and a labyrinth, in the sense that all labyrinths can be described as mazes, but only some mazes are labyrinths: e. g. only physical or architectural mazes, in some way resembling the original. One would not normally describe a printed puzzle or a mouse maze as a labyrinth; if one does so, it is a metaphor presumably referring back to the Labyrinth, unless some other use can be demonstrated. Thus labyrinths seem to form a valid subcategory within mazes. P Aculeius (talk) 12:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selectively merge to Category:Mazes and Category:Mazes in culture - Appears to be an instance of WP:SHAREDNAME. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:44, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hamadryad

[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. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 22:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. There aren't many dryads with articles to make it worthwhile to subcategorise them into what specific type of dryad they are. This category doesn't intersect with any others so it doesn't aid navigation to have it as an additional layer. (If kept, it should be renamed Category:Hamadryads.)

Nominator's rationale: The category is based on caste of India, they have added article even if one person named Charan is in battle, such category can't be allowed, the main Caterogy Category:Battles involving India does not have any such caste specific battles Jethwarp (talk) 09:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 22:50, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, in the current name it is unclear whether "Korean" refers to independence or to activists. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:People executed by British North America by hanging

[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:People executed in British North America by hanging. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 22:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There was no central government of British North America; it was a collection of British colonies. The use of "by" suggests that the individual was hanged by the government of British North America. Changing it to "in" leaves it open which colonial government in BNA was responsible for the hanging. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
