- The result of the discussion was: delete both. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Mangione family to Category:Mangione family (New York)
- Nominator's rationale: New category:Mangione family (Maryland) has been created. Current category should be turned into a disambiguation page. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 20:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, trivial distant relationship between one writer and two musicians. The two musicians articles are already directly interlinked. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- We either delete both cats or keep them both with appropriate naming. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- If nominated, I'd be fine with deletion of category:Mangione family (Maryland) too, the articles are already directly interlinked. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Tagged it. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

- We either delete both cats or keep them both with appropriate naming. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- If this is changed, it should be to category:Mangione family of New York to match other subcategories of Category:American families by state or territory. Similarly, if Category:Mangione family (Maryland) is kept it should be renamed to Category:Mangione family of Maryland.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Sport etymologies
- 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 (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: We don't make categories comprised solely of redirects to sections of articles expressly created for the purpose of the category itself. If the articles are not notable enough to be actual pages, the category should not exist. Due to being against policy, it should be deleted and the redirects should be too. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:22, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- I am the creator of the category. I have no strong objection to deleting the category, but if someone is researching a particular sport, and they are viewing the eponymous category for that sport, I think it is helpful to have the redirect to take them directly to the etymology of that sport.OvertAnalyzer (talk) 18:16, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Even if the category is deleted, this discussion isn't about the redirects. Discussion for the redirects would typically be at WP:RFD. - jc37 21:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:03, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1213 (2 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1213 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1210s
- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1223 (2 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1223 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1220s
- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1224 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1224 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1220s

- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1234 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1234 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1230s
- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1235 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1235 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1230s
- Propose merging Category:Mosques completed in 1239 (1 P) to Category: Buildings and structures completed in 1239 and Category:Mosques completed in the 1230s
- Nominator's rationale: merge, up to 1900 mostly single-article categories, which is unhelpful for navigation between articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Active massively multiplayer online games
- 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:Massively multiplayer online games. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: As the opposite Category:Inactive massively multiplayer online games, the following was created months prior to the other for non-active variant. However there are multiple reasons why I nominated this category, 1 because we do have a category for Category:Active multiplayer online games or Category:Active online games but we do have Category:Inactive online games as well as Category:Inactive multiplayer online games and Category:Inactive massively multiplayer online games. This category is also not complete; any article already in Category:Massively multiplayer online games or a subcategory of it (only including individual games) which is not also located under the inactive games could be added, but I'm asking deletion here so tell me what you think. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Agree in principle, "active" is not a defining characteristic, but shouldn't the category be merged to Category:Massively multiplayer online games? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Category:Massively multiplayer online games if the game is not already in one of its subcategories, as redundant and confusing. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Persistent worlds
- 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 (non-admin closure). ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 16:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEF, an old category that at this point is filled with articles for games not generally associated with persistent worlds; it's mostly likely not defining; especially when given the fact scanning for the word "persistent" in many articles gets you nothing. The fact calling some of them persistent has become subject to opinion. I am also considering several other categories related to online games deletion in both active and subsequent discussions. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I'd say that the term "persistent world" refers to a game mechanic rather than the game itself, so most of the entries in this category do not belong. I also think the examples of real persistent worlds are low. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This is too subjective. Jontesta (talk) 23:39, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Pensions by country and Category:Retirement in Armenia. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: category with one eponymous article Gjs238 (talk) 01:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy upmerge to Pensions by country and Retirement in Armenia under WP:C2F. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:38, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Browser-based multiplayer online games
- 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: dual merge to Category:Browser games and Category:Multiplayer online games. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:21, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Browser-based multiplayer online games to Category:Browser games
- Nominator's rationale: made all the way a few years ago, I feel like this category is not wroth keeping. I do not see this specific intersection of browser platform and multiplayer online as defining, like as if it was considered more defining back in 2008? Also the parent categories that this category currently make absolutely no sense. It should be a child of just broswer and multiplayer online games, not mmorpgs and mmogs cuz that doesn't make sense. Anyway, I can't see this category being kept. Individual article should be moved to the browser games category, and if not already in a subcategory of Multiplayer online games added to that category. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Dual merge to Category:Browser games and Category:Multiplayer online games (or its subcategories such as Category:Massively multiplayer online games). Like nom, I am not seeing evidence that this is a defining intersection at all or that "BMOG" is not a neologism. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:31, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I think Category:Browser games should be split into subcats and container-ized. But I don't know that splitting by number of players (single or multi) would be the most effective way to go about it. So for now, Dual merge per Zxcvbnm. - jc37 21:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
