Nominator's rationale: While the category contains a few people who were once "Miss [Firstname]" on different versions of the show, it mostly contains individual television stations that aired it. But categorizing television stations by individual syndicated shows that they have carried is not a thing we do on Wikipedia, because it's not WP:DEFINING of the stations and would lead to extreme category bloat if we had such a category for every syndicated or locally-franchised show that has ever existed (try to picture, for instance, a category for every individual television station that ever carried Ellen or Entertainment Tonight.) And categorizing the people this way violates WP:PERFCAT. Bearcat (talk) 21:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary mid-level category between Category:Fictional countries and its two subcategories, both of which are already in Category:Fictional countries by continent along with three others. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 05:55, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge. While participation was low in this discussion, the argument made is convincing. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:37, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:SMALLCAT: contains only two files. However, they are not in the parent category, Category:Images of fictional maps. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 05:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:41, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OC#EPONYMOUS: consists only of the main article and three files. Those three files are used in an article about a specific three-dimensional chess game, Dragonchess, though. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 04:44, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The images have been nominated at FfD owing to improper licensing. 05:22, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Category:Universal Century

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 to Category:Gundam (if not in other sub-cats already), Category:Gundam characters (if not in list sub-cat already), and Category:Gundam images. No objection to creating sub-categories Category:Mobile Suit Gundam and Category:Mobile Suit Gundam images if justified (note – the proper contents of such categories may not match the current categories). – Fayenatic London 11:37, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Universal Century to Category:Gundam Universal Century
    • Propose renaming Category:Universal Century characters to Category:Gundam Universal Century characters (added on relisting)
    • Propose renaming Category:Universal Century images to Category:Gundam Universal Century images (added on relisting)
Nominator's rationale: Title is not appropriate per MOS:INUNIVERSE, and should reflect that Universal Century is a Gundam term. This should also reflect in its subcategories. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 15:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: When a meteroid enters Earth’s atmosphere, it becomes a meteor. Since meteors often strike Earth in fiction (unlike real life), the categories are largely overlapping. I also suggest possibly renaming the latter category to Category:Meteors in fiction since a meteoroid, by definition, eventually becomes a meteor. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:56, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Some articles are about specific rogue planets in works of fiction. In line with other “X in fiction” categories, I propose emptying these into a subcategory, Category:Fictional rogue planets. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:37, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: It contains Category:Fictional ocean planets (note the word ocean. Seas and oceans are geographically distinct but similar enough to group them together. 165.91.13.209 (talk) 03:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Four articles, all of which are already interlinked. Appears to fail WP:OC#EPONYMOUS. 165.91.13.99 (talk) 00:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
