Propose merging Category:505 Games games to Category:505 Games

Nominator's rationale: Overlaps with Category:505 Games which essentially serves the same purpose. OceanHok (talk) 19:03, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. IceWelder [✉] 07:32, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a very common way of categorizing games. See also Category:Electronic Arts games and others._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Zxcvbnm. Instead Category:505 Games may be nominated as nearly empty. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:45, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:New England Blizzard (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Category for a long defunct basketball team which contains only the team article, the two arenas in which it appeared, and a 9 article players category. User:Namiba 10:37, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Deletion: Perfectly legitimate category. Thousands of similar categories on Wikipedia. Why pick on this one ? Djln Djln (talk) 13:06, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No one is questioning the "legitmacy" of this category, only whether it is proper for a defunct basketball team (the only one from its long-defunct league, by the way) to have a category.

Weak keep. Four articles now, plus subcategory with ten. That's enough for a legit category. Grutness...wha? 14:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is questionable whether the stadium articles should even be in the category. Occasionally playing in a certain arena is non-defining. Besides, does this defunct team category have a "realistic potential for growth" as defined by WP:SMALLCAT?--User:Namiba 19:41, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

keep. This is a reasonably populated category. Dimadick (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reasonably populated? It has 2 articles besides the main article.--User:Namiba 12:19, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- despite its small size. If it were not for two other articles, I might have suggested combining into the players category. I can see a lot of merit in doing that, but it would be necessary to find a way of having their coach and arena in a players category, which would be an innovation.

Propose deleting Category:Modern influence of Norse mythology (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Just an unnecessary container for three subcategories of Category:Norse mythology. Basically no opportunity for expansion. There are no other parent cats nor does it fit within an established category tree. Upmerge contents. MClay1 (talk) 06:50, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Oppose, I think the category is justified. It can't be the number of possible expansions that determines whether a category is valid.--Berig (talk) 06:58, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berig: see WP:SMALLCAT. There's no point to the existence of this category. It just groups together three categories. All that does is require an extra click for anyone navigating through the category tree. It doesn't even add useful parents to the subcategories. MClay1 (talk) 07:51, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I stand corrected.--Berig (talk) 07:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Norse mythology. It is nothing to do with WP:SMALLCAT though as the category has hundreds of articles (in subcats). There would be a point if Category:Norse mythology had more subcats as it collects similar subcats together. Oculi (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge poorly-thought out category. Norse mythology has had a large influence on folklore from various eras, on multiple fields of the arts, on Modern Paganism, and on the field of comparative mythology and its scholarly theories. The scope is overly large for a single category. Dimadick (talk) 21:51, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge -- There is no reason to segregate this into a separate category. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:21, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge - This is one of those things that may be useful in articles, but can become WP:OR when done as a category split. - jc37 19:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Albums arranged by Klaus Voorman to Category:Albums arranged by Klaus Voormann

Nominator's rationale: fix typo - see the article Klaus Voormann GoingBatty (talk) 02:27, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy rename C2A. Grutness...wha? 04:01, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
