• Propose renaming Category:Military books in Latin to Category:Ancient Roman military books

Nominator's rationale: rename in order to align the category with its sibling categories Category:Ancient Greek military books and Category:Byzantine military manuals. The articles are already in a Latin category by period. After renaming, one article should be added, one article should be removed. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:21, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Oppose. Why is "Military books in Latin" a sibling of "Ancient Greek military books"? Nothing about it implies antiquity. Srnec (talk) 01:30, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• It has been a subcategory of Category:Greco-Roman military books for more than 15 years. All articles but one are from antiquity. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It looks like two or three others are medieval revisions or epitomes of lost Roman works. And it's not unlikely that some Renaissance-era works on the topic not yet included were written in Latin. Is it normal to classify works by language rather than or in addition to culture of origin? If so, then this may be a logical distinction, though both categories might be appropriate. P Aculeius (talk) 10:59, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Maybe we should do away with Greco-Roman military books? Further, "military books" may be too broad. If it covers military history, the majority of Latin military books will be medieval. I assume the category was for military treatises excluding military history, but the content of Ancient Greek military books is a mishmash. I have added three articles to the category since this discussion began. Srnec (talk) 13:35, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. A perfectly clear defining/neutral/verifiable category so that it can be kept. The move suggested would change the focus of the category. If pages are to be removed, remove them. If parent categories are to be adapted,, adapt them. f the suggested target category is needed, create it but don’t delete or merge valid categories, please.-Mushy Yank. 21:27, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It will be more unambiguous to sort by language rather than nationality, as some of these are known only through later manuscripts. Accordingly, Category:Ancient Greek military books should be refocused only on the Greek language and renamed to Category:Military books in Ancient Greek. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:05, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Beatriz Haddad Maia Tennis coaches (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: A really trivial category. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:32, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Theres literally another category that is exactly like this one but for Djokovic coaches, “Category:Novak Djokovic coaches”. I really do not see why this specific category should be seen as something different from that other one. Haddad Maia fan (talk) 23:01, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A lot has to do with WikiProject Tennis guidelines for coaches. Bottom line is coaches are rare articles to be notable, and the most common case is when a player chooses coaching after retirement. Otherwise when a singles player wins one of the majors or is number 1 in the world, their coach gets way way more publicity. The bar is usually quite high for tennis coaches to have an article, let alone a whole tennis category. Fyunck(click) (talk) 01:04, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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. There are a couple of points to make. For one, there seems to be disagreement about whether this category is for characters who have been dead at some point in their story arc (and possibly resurrected since them), dead for good (possibly in stories without resurrection), or who are dead as of the latest chronological work (even if they might be revived later on). That was not really discussed, but editors in this discussion seem to have different ideas about which of these three the category is meant for; further discussion at Category talk:Deceased fictional characters might be able to resolve this. The second point is about what there is consensus to do in this discussion. Some editors believe that it is defining as-is, some editors think that death is not defining and would delete this category, and some editors think that being dead with no additional qualifications is not defining—even though dying from [cause] is defining—and would thus containerize. The numbers are equal, and containerizing is not really a middle ground option, so I would be supervoting if I closed this as anything other than NC. That being said, a fresh CFD without merging in the nomination, solely focused on containerizing, might find consensus, so there is no prejudice against speedy renomination. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Deceased fictional characters to Category:????

Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure if this is defining. At the very least I think that category should be containerized. ^SMason_Garrison 04:48, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Of course this is a defining trait, if a fictional character is killed off and stays dead, that's very narratively important. You can't even think of what target page to merge with, this is just another frivolous nomination for the sake of it as usual. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:54, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith. For the record, bringing a category for discussion because questions about its merits isn't frivolous. Having the discussion is worthwhile, regardless of the outcome. If it decided to be keep, then this case is one you @AHI-3000 can point to when others have questions. ^SMason_Garrison 13:41, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Containerize, it is not a defining characteristic of individual articles. Possibly rename to Category:Fictional characters associated with death and further populate it with a few subcategories to be moved Category:Fiction about death. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:59, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The rename you suggested sounds terribly clunky and awkward. "Deceased fictional characters" gets the point across well enough. AHI-3000 (talk) 05:01, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yeah, I said "possibly". At least it fits resurrected and undead characters better than "deceased" which is normally synonymous to "dead". And it also happens to fit for example Category:Fictional characters with death or rebirth abilities. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:43, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This is really just a non-issue being made out to be an issue. The OP wants to merge this category without even suggesting any actual target page to merge with. AHI-3000 (talk) 16:32, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • If merged it should obviously be upmerged to Category:Fictional characters. I am not completely against that. But my suggestion is to salvage the category by broadening the scope a bit. And at least containerize. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:47, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

      Merging it isn't necessary. Nobody here has proven that a fictional character being dead in-universe is somehow not a notable defining trait, or that there's something too vaguely broad about it. Dead means dead. Any character articles directly placed into Category:Deceased fictional characters is specifically meant for characters who have died, but there's not yet any specific subcategory of Category:Fictional deaths by cause which would suit them better. It's not that complicated. AHI-3000 (talk) 02:19, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Multiple options on the table; which one is best?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:41, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - death is no more important than any other feature of a character, and - unlike the real world - can change to be undone by the stroke of a pen. We have things like Comic book death, which explains all of this better. And then there's also: Category:Fictional deaths by cause, which seems to also cover this, and could be seen as a bit of overlapcat. And then there is also this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of deceased American comic book characters (2nd nomination), which suggests that perhaps a well-referenced List should be created for this first, rather than a category. - jc37 00:47, 20 April 2025 (UTC) - jc37 00:47, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Jc37: I suppose you are ok with moving the subcategories to Category:Fictional characters if they aren't already in that tree otherwise? That would more or less coincide with User:Smasongarrison's nomination and for me it is an acceptable solution too. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Looking them over, Category:Fictional child deaths and Category:Fictional resurrected characters should be deleted too, for similar reasons. The character name articles should be under the appropriate subcat of Category:Fictional deaths by cause, and Category:Fictional undead is already categorised. - jc37 06:37, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not sure about Category:Fictional resurrected characters, because that can be a plot point. But I agree that a list would be a nice solution here. ^SMason_Garrison 13:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • So relocating subcategories if needed is agreed. Deletion of subcategories can be discussed in a fresh discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Srong Oppose. Death is definitely a defining feature for a fictional character and not so common, and since the category is defining, neutral and verifiable, it can be kept.-Mushy Yank. 21:36, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose renaming Category:Works about the military of the United States to Category:Works about the United States military

Nominator's rationale: All of the comparable sibling sub-cats use this simple, straightforward fcrmulation; viz. Category:Religion in the United States military, Category:Women in the United States military. Anomalous+0 (talk) 09:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There is no "United States military", the main article is named United States Armed Forces. Dimadick (talk) 08:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• The category tree seems to include both United States Armed Forces and the United States Department of Defense. I am not advocating that it has to stay this way, but renaming the category (tree) to United States Armed Forces would require a broader discussion. For the time being the proposed rename seems better than the current name. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:30, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I'm not seeing a lot about the DoD in general, being categorised here. What I am seeing are categories on war and on the United States Armed Forces. So I'd suggest renaming to use the latter, and prume (split?) of the war-related sub-sub-cats. - jc37 00:52, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: All related categories for non-article pages have been renamed, so nominating these for consistency — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changed nomination to delete per comment below. These are unnecessary and redundant categories — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:17, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. These additional layers are really just a mess that should be eliminated. A page like Category talk:20th Century Fox film series is listed already in Category:Category-Class 20th Century Studios pages and in Category:NA-importance 20th Century Studios pages. Anyone wishing to find an intersection can use existing tools, such as petscan to find whatever intersection they want. Gonnym (talk) 10:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Relations of Japan and its former colonies (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete, Korea was annexed by Japan rather than a colony (or initially it was a protectorate). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This and the two nominations below are follow-up on this earlier discussion. @An anonymous username, not my real name, Seefooddiet, Sm8900, HouseBlaster, and Voorts: pinging contributors to that discussion.

• I am not sure on whether all individual instances of Japan's conquests can be termed colonialism, but shouldn't the fact that the overall phenomenon is called the Japanese colonial empire mean something? Even if the category has to be renamed, it seems thematically and chronologically in line with the similar categories pertaining to European colonizers.

• Propose merging Category:Alumni by school in Massachusetts to Category:Alumni by high school in Massachusetts

• Propose renaming Category:Ainu legendary creatures to Category:Ainu mythological creatures

Nominator's rationale: rename aligning with article Ainu mythology and Category:Ainu mythology. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:13, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave the name as is since the category mentioned above is part of the Category:Japanese legendary creatures which itself is part of the Category:East Asian legendary creatures, etc. There are countless categories for legendary creatures from various cultures and all of them would need to be renmamed for sake of consistency. Seeing as the general article about the topic all those categories have in common is also called Legendary creature and not mythological or mythical creature, I think that this term should have precedence. Tarchunes (talk) 15:48, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Category:Legendary creatures in Ainu mythology. per my comments in the March 30 discussion and here. - jc37 11:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose deleting Category:Male suicides (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Violates WP:TRIVIALCAT; being male is too trivial and broad a characteristic for a suicide category Songwaters (talk) 04:00, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep this category, as long as the subcategory Category:Male murder–suicide perpetrators still exists. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:08, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom and WP:OCEGRS. The subcategory should be manually upmerged to Category:Murder–suicide perpetrators, that proposal can be included here or it can be nominated separately. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is NOTHING trivial about this, nor does this fall under WP:OCEGRS, which says "...unless that combination is itself recognized as a defining topic that has already been established (in reliable sources showing substantial existing research specific to the topic), as academically or culturally significant in its own right". The lead of the GA Suicide already says "By gender, suicide rates are generally higher among men than women, ranging from 1.5 times higher in the developing world to 3.5 times higher in the developed world; in the Western world, non-fatal suicide attempts are more common among young people and women." In other words, it is recognized as relevant, and Gender differences in suicide only confirms that: I'm not going to list the two dozen peer-reviewed, academic sources that support the content of that last article.

• Keep Everything that Drmies said is correct. Who is to say it is not a useful navigational tool, and there a plenty of categories on Wikipedia with broad characteristics as their basis, . If the Category Female suicides exists than so should Male suicides. Suicide among males is a subject of interest to many people and a subject of much debate, that in and of itself should be reason enough to keep the category.

• Propose merging Category:23rd-century BC women writers to Category:23rd-century BC women and Category:23rd-century BC writers

Nominator's rationale: Isolated categories with 1 member each. The member pages are already in Category:Ancient Asian women writers, so a third merge target of women writers is not needed. – Fayenatic London 08:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Propose merging Category:Musicians from Quierschied to Category:People from Saarbrücken (district)

• Propose merging Category:Pokémon with Mega Evolutions to Category:Pokémon species

Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:NONDEF, Mega Evolutions are tangential to their notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:01, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since the bulk of Mega Evos don't really contribute anything to subject notability, making it not very helpful for navigation. I do feel the subject has potential for an article, but that's a subject for another time. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:21, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I expect all of these to be in a subcategory of Category:Pokémon species by generation. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:04, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
