Nominator's rationale: I create this category a while ago, but I feel like "Roman courtesans" could also apply to courtesans from the city of Rome. ★Trekker (talk) 20:56, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Either move Category:Childrens Commissioners in Wales to Category:Children's Commissioners for Wales (deleting the version of the latter category I just created with exactly the same content as the former, in order to retain the history); or just delete the former category. (The former category is fairly new, and I've already recategorised its only member.) For motivations, see User talk:Llemiles#I'm "moving" a category you created.

Category:Television series by network

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 (talk) 11:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is a parent category of (mostly) network or channel country categories that have sub-categories which are original programming. The reason for some using network and some using channels in the country category names is based on what type is used in each country. Adding "channel" to the title will make it less confusing finding non-network categories in it. I'll note that while Category:Television networks is called that, it also has Category:Television channels and networks by content‎ and Category:Television network and channel navigational boxes‎.
If this CfD passes, then the next step would be to change the country categories to use "original programming" as well so the tree would be - Category:Original programming -> Category:Original programming by network or channel -> (new country name) -> <network or channel> original programming (Category:ABC Family original programming) Gonnym (talk) 11:02, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Years and decades in Ceuta and Melilla

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/delete Timrollpickering (talk) 11:30, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
Propose deleting:
  • Category:2020s in Melilla
  • Category:Decades in Melilla
  • Category:Years in Melilla
  • Category:Years of the 21st century in Melilla
  • Category:2020s in Ceuta
  • Category:Decades in Ceuta
  • Category:Years in Ceuta
  • Category:Years of the 21st century in Ceuta
Nominator's rationale: Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish exclaves in North Africa. These ten categories contain between them a total of just two articles:COVID-19 pandemic in Ceuta and COVID-19 pandemic in Melilla ... so this nomination removes the by-year and by-decade categories, leaving just the centuries.
I presume that the categories were created (by @Chongkian) in good faith to contain those two COVID-19 articles, but we don't have enough coverage of Ceuta and Melilla to populate by-decade categories, let alone by-year.
I did a quick Petscan check for the intersection between Category:21st century in Spain and each of Category:Ceuta and Category:Melilla, excluding people-from-the-place because we don't categorise biographies in geographic year or decade categories
Those sets are too small to divide into decades let alone years, because most of the articles are establishments/disestablishments, which we don't categorise directly in year or decade categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:43, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 08:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The type of film is "animated film". Gonnym (talk) 21:34, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It reads incredibly awkward that way. And I'd say the fact that they're "Batman films" is more defining.★Trekker (talk) 22:16, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is it more "incredibly awkward" than the current way we name categories? What is the difference between "Batman music", "Batman novels" or "Batman graphic novels" and this? Why do we use "Batman graphic novels" but not "Graphic Batman novels"? --Gonnym (talk) 09:05, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I already said that. These films are most defined as "Batman films", "animated" is just another desription added.★Trekker (talk) 11:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • You actually didn't answer that. You also didn't address Category:Batman graphic novels and why that isn't "Graphic Batman novels". Also, saying"animated" is just another desription added is meaningless as it's still there in the proposed title. It's just in the correct place, as the media is "Animated film". --Gonnym (talk) 16:40, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • Trying to compare "graphic ___ novel" in this case is laughable, no one with a good grasp of English has ever uttered the words "graphic Batman novel". In the end "Animated" is just a description, "graphic novel" is an object.★Trekker (talk) 21:00, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
            • ★Trekker is correct. Not just about "graphic novel" being a compound noun (obviously) but about adjective order. English has a hierarchy of what order adjectives should go in, based on how intrinsic the adjective is to describing the noun.[1] For example, we say "big blue bird" because the color is more intrinsic to the nature of a bird than its size is: little blue birds become big blue birds. In this case, being a "Batman film" is more intrinsic than being an "animated film", because the producers could conceivably change their mind and produce it as live-action film instead, but they couldn't change their mind and make it a Superman film instead... it would be an entirely different thing if they did. So for that reason, "Batman" should be closer to "film" than "animated" is. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 01:19, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:55, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per article name Equality marches in Poland. This was opposed for speedy renaming as a conflict between WP:C2D and WP:C2C. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:47, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gender-critical Wikipedians

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 (talk) 11:45, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Gender-critical feminists are criticized for being transphobic due to its close association with "womyn-born-womyn" philosophy. As someone who isn't likely to be traumatized by the discussion, I've decided to nominate the category for deletion myself.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that I first found out about the category and associated userbox from a discussion on the discord server. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 00:43, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I am not telling anyone that they are not masculine or feminine, nor is that the intent of the category. The category is intended to identify those who believe that gender is a social construct that should not exist. As far as I know, we are allowed to critique (in a civil manner) social constructs. Yilangren (talk) 01:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like an extremely poor choice of terminology then, given the cited definition of the term in the article that the nominator links to. It's the only definition I've encountered. And I've encountered lots of discussion of gender as a social construct, in college classes and online, but I've never heard that concept referred to as being "gender-critical". I notice that it doesn't appear in the gender article, nor in the social construction of gender article. --▸₷truthious Ⓑandersnatch◂ 02:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And wait just a second, there's actually a guideline Wikipedia:Overcategorization/User categories#Inappropriate types of user categories, one inappropriate type being "categories that are divisive, provocative, or otherwise disruptive", and other types may apply to this case. --▸₷truthious Ⓑandersnatch◂ 06:02, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can the nominator please provide grounds for proposing the deletion of this category? Thank you. Yilangren (talk) 01:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep per no valid criterion proposed. Just because we don't agree with something shouldn't mean we should forcefully wipe it. If an editor is personally attacking other editors with their views, this can be managed on a case by case basis. I see no reason why deleting this category would prevent any disruption, or be a benefit in any way. Ed talk! 01:55, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, potential grounds for deletion are WP:USERCATYES and WP:NOTSOCIAL (3rd bullet point). Before making up my mind I would like to hear from the keep voters how they think this user category contributes to building a WP:NPOV encyclopedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:22, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure how this category would fall under "Dating services" in WP:NOTSOCIAL. The only potential ground for deletion that I could reasonably understand is WP:USERCATYES. However, looking at Category:Wikipedians by philosophy it would seem that most of them "advocate a position" so I'm not sure how this category is any different in that sense. Regarding WP:NPOV, if anything userboxes like this or those supporting gender would help promote neutrality when editing certain controversial articles so that each user can know the other user's perspective -- this way, more neutral and unbiased editors can help settle debates. Yilangren (talk) 18:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
+ Note that with respect to "userboxes like this or those supporting gender would help promote neutrality": it is not the userbox that is nominated for deletion, just the category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
++ As the discussion is becoming stale and I am not yet convinced of the keep arguments, I'm formally voting delete per WP:USERCATYES and WP:NOTSOCIAL (3rd bullet point). Marcocapelle (talk) 10:14, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:USERCATNO: "Categories which group users by advocacy of a position".
Other categories by political position have been deleted or political ideology have been deleted. See WP:Categories for discussion/User/Archive/August 2007#Category:All_Wikipedian_by_political_ideology_categories. --09:23, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
