Propose merging Category:People associated with Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine to Category:Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine

Category:Organisations designated as cults

Propose splitting Category:Organisations designated as cults to Category:Cults of personality and Category:New religious movements

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping with Cults of personality and New religious movements; and vaguely defined. Notably Category:Cults disambiguates. ^SMason_Garrison 22:51, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete what authority designated these? If it had one, it should be in the title. I assume the category was going for France, but the French do not have a cult designation system. They had a fee reports written by a politician thirty years ago that listed cults, but that isn’t a “designation” in the legal sense, it was the opinion of one person. MIVILUDES does not have a list. Cult as a legal designation with a specific definition group does not exist outside of China. There is no process to designate something as a cult in France... someone saying in a judgement that a group is a cult does not legally designate someone as something, much as someone being called a terrorist in a legal judgement does not designate someone as a terrorist entity. Being included on a single list that was never updated is not equivalent to what China has (they have a continuously updated system of cults a la terrorist designation) or to a terrorist designation. Being included in a single work is not defining per WP:CATDEF (I wish it was, because I think the organizations included in the first cult list are pretty interesting, but it violates catdef). If the French had a similar process to China that was continually updated we could make it “organizations designated as cults by France”, but they do not have a list.

Just delete, articles are already in the tree of Category:New religious movements. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:10, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Archaeological museums in the Balkans

Propose merging Category:Archaeological museums in the Balkans to Category:Archaeological museums by country

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer. I don't think we need to bundle specific kinds of museums in the balkans. ^SMason_Garrison 22:08, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, trivial intersection. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This would only be redundant if Category:Archaeological museums in Albania was in Category:Archaeology of Albania. It was not, but is now. – Fayenatic London 13:10, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Local Now affiliates

Propose deleting Category:Local Now affiliates (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: There are currently no affiliates for this network anymore. This is mostly a FAST channel now. OWaunTon (talk) 19:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. There are three pages in the category. ^SMason_Garrison 22:10, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but they no longer affiliated with the network. OWaunTon (talk) 00:31, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Smasongarrison: do you have further thoughts about this? Marcocapelle (talk) 10:24, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the nominator has prematurely emptied this category. Please do not do this, OWaunTon, that's the purpose of having this CFD discussion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:10, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the user above said they were articles listed, so I assume they would think it's still affiliates.
So I don't know where to go from here. OWaunTon (talk) 01:13, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please restore them. Do you have any sources that support your claim that they're no longer affiliated? ^SMason_Garrison 13:43, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Most of the contents belong under Category:American people by descent rather than ethnicity. – Fayenatic London 16:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Split per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: while I think this split would be pretty straightforward, splitting the parent Category:Lists of people by ethnicity and Category:Lists of people by descent (currently a redirect) might be less so. – Fayenatic London 13:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Los Angeles Camera Club

Propose deleting Category:Los Angeles Camera Club (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Not defining. The subject of the category is a redirect. Lost in Quebec (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fabrizio Faniello songs

Propose deleting Category:Fabrizio Faniello songs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Only two known entries, both of which are redirects, with no other known entries to populate this category. Category is therefore essentially redundant. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:27, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Two Tricky songs

Propose deleting Category:Two Tricky songs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Only one entry, which is itself a redirect, and main subject of the category (Two Tricky) is also a redirect. Category is therefore for all intents and purposes redundant. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:26, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Manhunt International templates to Category:Beauty pageant templates and Category:Manhunt International

Category:Flemish expatriates in Italy

Propose merging Category:Flemish expatriates in Italy to Category:Expatriates in the Papal States and Category:Expatriates from the Holy Roman Empire

Nominator's rationale: merge, poorly populated category and besides Italy did not exist yet and Flemish is very imprecise. The latter should be "from the Spanish Netherlands" if it would exist - but it doesn't. So Holy Roman Empire is the next level. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom ^SMason_Garrison 03:56, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mister International Philippines

Propose merging Category:Mister International Philippines to Category:Mister International (Philippines)

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories ^SMason_Garrison 02:27, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, they are obviously duplicates. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and clarify distinction: I can understand your saying "obviously", but Mister International Philippines 2024 is not a duplicate of Mister International 2024 (Philippines). The competition split into two factions in 2023. See the intro paragraph at Mister International (Philippines) and second paragraph of Mister International 2022. I don't fully understand the timing as Mister International Philippines 2022 (held in June 2022) states that it was inaugural, whereas the other pages state that the split happened the next year. – Fayenatic London 13:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... do we have any other examples of categories that have made similar splits? I'd love to not reinvent the wheel. ^SMason_Garrison 13:46, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, just to be clear—the page story represents a series of organizational disputes to provide context. It began in 2022 at the Mister International 2022 pageant in the Philippines, around October. The event was conducted by the Philippines' national director, Manuel Deldio. At that time in history the pageant appeared to be operating normally. Pradinut of Thailand and Deldio of the Philippines were both national directors in their respective countries and were reportedly close at the time to the founder of the pageant Alan Sim who created Mister International in 2006 in Singapore. That was also the time in history that the Philippines had the Vice President position in the Mister International organization. The problems began in October of 2022, when the founder, Alan Sim, died. Both parties took that as the point of conflict, each claiming to be the rightful owner of the pageant. In 2023, each party had a press conference to assert their claims of leadership. The side of the Philippines argued that Alan had passed along the leadership to them, since Deldio was in the line of Succession as Vice President. The side of Thailand claimed that the leadership was passed along to Pradinut, since he was a close friend of Sim. To bolster their positions, the Philippine side continued utilizing the legacy Mister International logo, stating it was for the legacy, while the Thailand side had a new logo for a new chapter of the pageant. In 2023 both sides had separate editions of the pageant. In the Philippines, this was reflected in the Mister International Philippines 2023 national pageant, produced through the Mister International brand claimed by Deldio. Mister Pilipinas Worldwide sent a representative to the version in Thailand. Essentially, I made the categories separately distinguishing them with the identifiers "(Philippines)" and "(Thailand)" to delineate them from the two existing international pageants. The Mister International Philippines category is different from Mister International (Philippines) - they are related, but not the same. 🌼𝓡𝓬 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝔃🍁 (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Beauty pageants in Great Britain

Propose merging Category:Beauty pageants in Great Britain to Category:Beauty pageants in the United Kingdom

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories. This one is underpopulated. ^SMason_Garrison 02:20, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose the only article, Miss Tourism World, is better off in the root Category:Beauty pageants than in Category:Beauty pageants in the United Kingdom. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom (same as delete). The member page is already within Category:Beauty pageants in the United Kingdom and Category:Beauty pageants in China. – Fayenatic London 13:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Robert A. Welch Foundation

Propose deleting Category:Robert A. Welch Foundation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: These two pages are already interlinked. The pages are the founder and the foundation. ^SMason_Garrison 01:50, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:38, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Partial upmerge to Category:Foundations based in the United States, as the nominator's rationale has not given a reason to remove the lead article from that hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 13:39, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Robert A. Welch Foundation is already in Scientific research foundations in the United States. ^SMason_Garrison 13:47, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants

Propose renaming Category:Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants to Category:Hallucinogens

Nominator's rationale: (1) Consistency with category main article name of "hallucinogen". (2) "Hallucinogen" is a well-established scientific term for this class of drugs whereas the current category name of "psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants" is just a list of three subtypes of hallucinogens. (3) Not all hallucinogens fall into the subgroups of psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants, so "hallucinogens" would be a much better-suited category name for those instances. AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 00:08, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of speedy discussion

Category:Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants to Category:Hallucinogens – Reason: WP:C2D -- consistency with cat main article name of hallucinogen. Also "hallucinogen" is a well-established term yet the current category name is just a list of three subtypes of hallucinogens for some reason, with notably not all hallucinogens falling into those three groups. Thanks. AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 04:01, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It has been deleted as a result of CfD, though a long time ago, and therefore can not be speedily processed. You can directly transfer this nomination to full CfD.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:39, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The user has been indefblocked, so it probably is not going to happen. Ymblanter (talk) 19:27, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ymblanter. It was a temporary self-requested block. I ended up changing my mind on it though. Will pursue full CfD for the category move. Thanks. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 23:53, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Have pursued full CfD here. Thanks. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 00:10, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For info: this is the link to old delete discussion. If I understand correctly, the article was titled Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants back then, but that is no longer the case nowadays. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:45, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, that's good to know. I checked and the past discussion on the move of that page (from "Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants" to "Hallucinogen") can be found here and here. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 12:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
