Category:End

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:44, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Entirely unnecessary and implausible category. The only article that's been filed here is Antichrist, if that gives you some insight into the thought process involved -- but even if it needed this (which it doesn't), there would still have to be a lot more than just one thing to file here before this needed to exist at all. Bearcat (talk) 18:43, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, the creator did respond to the deletion nomination by explaining their reasoning on the category talk page — but it has something to do with "articles that are emotional in mood", and still doesn't really have a ton of logic or sense to it. (Like, what do emotional moods have to do with the word "end"?) Bearcat (talk) 15:01, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. VegaDark (talk) 20:33, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – The concept of "end" holds significant thematic relevance across literature, film, music, and other disciplines. Endings often symbolize closure, transformation, or finality, which are key motifs explored across diverse subjects.

Wikipedia already recognizes emotionally and conceptually driven categories (e.g., melancholic music, tragic films), which indicates precedent for this kind of thematic grouping.

Rather than deleting the category, a better approach might be to clarify or refine its scope—perhaps specifying domains like literature, religion, or media—so it can better serve as a navigational aid for readers exploring concepts of finality and conclusion.

Category:Republic Commando

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. ✗plicit 03:13, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Consists of the main article about the video game: Star Wars: Republic Commando and 4 redirects to Star Wars Rebels episodes list. There is no indication in the Star Wars Rebels episode list that they somehow belong to the same series as the video game, Republic Commando. Mika1h (talk) 18:03, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. Doesn't explain the subject matter; readers would be better off checking out a fanwiki for this. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 07:20, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional criminals by occupation

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: split between Category:Fictional criminals by crime and Category:Fictional criminals. In the future, recreation can be handled via WP:G4, and the appropriate venue to make an argument that consensus has changed is at WP:DRV. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:53, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This was previously agreed to, and nothing has changed since then. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 15:15, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, because they are NOT the same. Category:Fictional gangsters, Category:Fictional mercenaries, Category:Fictional outlaws, Category:Fictional rebels, Category:Fictional vigilantes, Category:Supervillains, etc are not specific types of criminal charges, they are people who just necessarily do illegal things for a living. There's a difference between what kind of specific crimes they're committing, and what kind of career criminal they are. Some overlap does not equal equivalence nor redundancy.
See and compare Category:Criminals by crime and Category:Illegal occupations, nobody suggests merging them, so why merge their respective fictional counterparts together? That doesn't make any more sense. But I'm sure someone will just ignore these points and mindlessly repeat "merge per nom" without actually rebutting me anyways.

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is the style used by the other two judge-specific subcategories of Category:Law clerks: Category:Law clerks of J. Michael Luttig and Category:Law clerks of Harlan F. Stone. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per C2C. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 07:18, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:46, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Subject is not mainly a director, he has officially directed only one film (this ain't that). Kailash29792 (talk) 14:40, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Works by creator cats don't need to meet any minimum number of entries, and director is a defining characteristic of the film. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 07:17, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per QuietHere's rationale. Dimadick (talk) 09:06, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Culture of Angola. (non-admin closure) Cremastra talk 14:32, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Male suicides

Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 April 19#Category:Male suicides

Category:Female suicides

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: no consensus. Thorough discussion; unlikely a WP:RELIST will help. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:47, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Violates WP:TRIVIALCAT; being female is too trivial and broad a characteristic for a suicide category Songwaters (talk) 04:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-designated terrorist organization categories

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 to Category:Right-wing militant groups and Category:Fascist militant groups, respectively. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:48, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Far-right terrorist organizations
  • Propose deleting Category:Fascist terrorist organizations
Nominator's rationale: Take 2, bundled this time. The last discussion was closed as no consensus for these two categories (though the other succeeded) without prejudice to renomination, so I am going to explain it better this time.
Violations of the structure of all of the other terrorism categories. We do not have categories for terrorists or non-designated terror groups, because the word varies by jurisdiction and definition, so sorting them by ideology is a no-go. Many of the groups in these categories are not designated as such and some are only by some jurisdictions. We do not have a similar category tree for extremist Muslim terrorism, nor should we, because of MOS:TERRORIST. We can qualify it and explain it in the text of articles, but cannot in categories.
In the past CfD, it was suggested that this be renamed to Category:Right-wing militant groups and Category:Fascist militant groups respectively a la Category:Left-wing militant groups, and while I am ambivalent towards the idea, most of the contents of these categories do not qualify as that (some are non militant groups, secret societies, political parties...). So if that is done this would necessitate a purge (and I don't think there is enough here to demonstrate the need for a fascist subdivision), but that is also an OK solution. So, keep, purge and rename as Category:Right-wing militant groups, or delete? PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:51, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Right-wing militant groups and Category:Fascist militant groups so that we may have them as counterparts to Category:Left-wing militant groups and Category:Socialist militant groups respectively. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, though as mentioned many groups in these categories do not fit the militant label. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:13, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
