Nominator's rationale: This is an overly specific in-universe designation that is not useful to the general reader. All characters are covered in the Autobot and Decepticon categories. TTN (talk) 21:41, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Austria-Hungary disappeared in 1918 so even if people were born under Austria-Hungary, they were not Austro-Hungarian at the time of the Holocaust. Le Deluge (talk) 18:59, 5 December 2019 (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: delete. MER-C 19:43, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There's a long-standing consensus against Afro-Eurasian categories per eg Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_March_5#Afro-Eurasia_project_categories, and I'm not sure how it specifically helps Wikipedia to know that editors claim ancestry from somewhere on 60% of the world's surface.

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 19:46, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only three articles, soon to be two after an AfD. Dragon (Middle-earth) should go to Middle-earth races and the characters should go to Middle-earth characters. TTN (talk) 16:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. MER-C 10:02, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the only category for moons of anything other than the eight major planets and Pluto. It's populated only with the two moons and Moons of Haumea (the last of which should probably be merged into Haumea anyway). Clarityfiend (talk) 21:06, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 19:43, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The subject of this category isn't remotely notable. What other individual fighting games have a character category? Imagine clicking on the Scorpion (Mortal Kombat) article and seeing "Category:Mortal Kombat (video game) characters", "Category:Mortal Kombat 2 characters", ETC, all down the References section.
There are also no other video games or genres where we create a category for characters appearing in an individual installment of a series that I'm aware of. This is so fringe that, at first, I thought Schmidt-austin had created another sock. DarkKnight2149 02:47, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 16:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Was proposed for merger in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_July_13#Category:Films_about_individual_people, but the proposal was lost in the subsequent discussion. This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion on the matter. MER-C 10:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge the two trees placing any biographical films category as a subcat of the films about category. This would address Place Clichy's concern that the distinction is removed when it's actually useful and would allow for deletion and upmerging of biographical films categories where the distinction isn't useful. Again my proposal is a tree like Category:Films based on real people -> Category:Films about Person -> Category:Biographical films about Person (if warranted). ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 13:22, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
