• Propose renaming Category:Fictional Chinese people by ethnic or national origin to Category:Fictional Chinese people by ethnicity
• Propose renaming Category:Fictional Brazilian people by ethnic or national origin to Category:Fictional Brazilian people by ethnicity added 27 October

Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, the three subcategories are by ethnicity rather than by descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:00, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I added the Brazilian subcategory to the nomination for the same reason. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:10, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Fictional North Korean people (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete, the category only contains a redirect. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's a ton of other categories for characters by nationality that are also small. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:43, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a single redirect. Mason (talk) 03:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. It is not absolutely necessary to replicate the category structure of nonfiction to that of fictional characters. Place Clichy (talk) 21:53, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Fictional people by occupation and ethnic or national descent to Category:Fictional people by occupation and nationality

Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, the subcategories are all by nationality rather than by descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom Mason (talk) 03:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I would prefer a renaming to Category:Fictional characters by occupation and nationality, per long-standing parents Category:Fictional characters by occupation, Category:Fictional characters by location etc. People are made of flesh and bone, characters are not. Plus there's always that twist where a character you think is human for a great part of the work turns out to be something completely different. Place Clichy (talk) 21:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• That is also fine, none of the subcategories implies human characters per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:22, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Great West Conference baseball navigational boxes to Category:Great West Conference navigational boxes and Category:Great West Conference baseball templates

The result of the discussion was: dual merge into Category:Buildings and structures in Shelburne, Vermont and Category:Museums in Chittenden County, Vermont. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster^talk 23:57, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Museums in Shelburne, Vermont to Category:Buildings and structures in Shelburne, Vermont and Category:Museums in Chittenden County, Vermont

Nominator's rationale: This category contains one article about a museum and the eponymously named category for the institution. No opposition to recreation if more more articles are written. User:Namiba 15:39, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Fictional indigenous people of the Americas to Category:Fictional indigenous people

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer with just 2 children (Category:Fictional indigenous North American people and Category:Fictional indigenous South American people). Place Clichy (talk) 12:57, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fictional people by continent. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster^talk 00:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Fictional people of the Americas to Category:Fictional people by continent

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer with just 3 children (besides the one nominated above): Category:Fictional North American people, Category:Fictional South American people, and Category:Fictional Latin American people. Place Clichy (talk) 12:57, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per nom. Thereafter possibly move Category:Fictional Latin American people under Category:Fictional people by region instead of by continent. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 14:35, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia XX-Class level-n vital articles to Category:XX-Class level-n vital articles
• Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia XX-Class vital articles in YYYY to Category:XX-Class vital articles in YYYY

Nominator's rationale: I am resolving an issue which prevents the {{Vital article}} template being placed within the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Currently the class is not being inherited correctly, and to fix this I need to rename these categories to the more standing naming scheme for quality assessment categories. I have notified the project here and there is no opposition. There are quite a lot of categories which need to be renamed. I will try to list them all here, but not sure if I will get them all tagged. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:53, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 19:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose splitting Category:Fictional characters by gendered occupation to Category:Fictional females by occupation and Category:Fictional males by occupation

Nominator's rationale: split, it escapes me why characters with a gendered occupation are ghettoized in a third category. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Split per nom. I removed Category:Fictional engineers though, which had nothing to do there (it even has its own gendered child Category:Fictional female engineers). Also, a lot of categories are not for gendered occupations, but occupations where different words are used for male and female similar or equivalent roles: kings/queens, princes/princesses, monks/nuns, valets/butlers/maids etc. Place Clichy (talk) 09:44, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Split per nom. I am not even sure why some of these are listed (for instance, I am removing Fictional cheerleaders, which is not gendered). (Oinkers42) (talk) 01:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Language and race (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Just 2 articles there (Racial literacy and Raciolinguistics), both about proposed concepts of a link between people's language and people's race, which do not seem to have a lot of catchment besides their proponents. Theoretically this could be merged to Category:Sociolinguistics or Category:Ethnolinguistics, but looking at both articles it seems to me that they are both already in the best categories for each of them, this one removed.
