The result of the discussion was: speedy delete as G5 by Daniel Quinlan. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I personally think that this might be over-categorisation. Having the separate categories for Japanese Wikipedians and Female Wikipedians is sufficient. No other category of this type exists. If this is to be kept, then I propose a rename to 'Japanese female Wikipedians' or similar. 'Japanese' and 'Wikipedians' should not be in lower case.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Works set in Sparta. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:07, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Sparta in fiction to Category:Works set in ancient Sparta
Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent, "in fiction" normally consists of a fictional works subcategory and one or more subcategories with fictional elements (e.g. fictional characters). But in this case the articles are about works only. Aligning with Category:Works set in ancient Greece. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:13, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Legendary creatures

The result of the discussion was: keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:09, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are many open CfD's right now, such as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_30#Category:Monsters, several items at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_March_31 that are about specific mythologies, and Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_April_5#Category:Legendary_birds, that are going nowhere. This one is also likely needed to settle the monsters CfD.
For my own perspective on this category, I interpret them as including mostly nonexistent species in folklore, and therefore the categories are redundant. But the birds CfD has not reached a consensus, either, on the merge target; this should be easier since there is no existent "in mythology" target. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 14:55, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I'll agree that some sources can be pretty free with interchanging the two terms. But some sources do not. We should avoid WP:SYNTH. Add to that the issue that for some mythology is religion, and not merely folklore, and directly merging becomes very problematic. If you want to tighten the inclusion criteria, I would support merging both to: Category:Legendary creatures in mythology, and prune as necessary. That way we are better covering how these creatures are presented in source material (in some cases, going back thousands of years). - jc37 15:12, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both nom and Jc37 for exactly the reason that Jc37 mentions: mythology is associated with (extinct) religion, e.g. in Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Indian mythology. I would not oppose merging "legendary" and "folklore" if they both exist, but that is not the case here. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:21, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Which is why I suggested pruning. That said, I'm fine with oppose/keeping them separate. I would like to see all the cats with "mythological" renamed to "...in mythology" though - I think it would make the formalized grouping (religion) more clear. - jc37 22:10, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
