Category:American newspaper founders by newspaper
[edit]- 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: merge to Category:Newspaper founders by newspaper. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 22:25, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge because this category is not helpful for several reasons: it assumes that american newspapers are founded by americans, not always true; there are only 5 :by newspaper: categories total, so this is unhelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:25, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Category:Fictional characters who have been possessed by demons
[edit]- 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/merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 09:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: The title is run-on and overspecific. I don't necessarily think it's undefining, but it doesn't need such a specific scope as demons. The Devil category is also unnecessarily WP:NARROWCAT and overcategorization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:22, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support merging and renaming AHI-3000 (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Support There is evidently not a significant story difference in the type of possessing entity; the parent is Category:Fiction about spirit possession and no other categories are specific to one type of supernatural being. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:10, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:56, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Only David Kelly (weapons expert) needs to be added to Category:British civil servants, the other three articles are already in a more specific category. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Aromanian newspapers to Category:Aromanian mass media

- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

- That is why I said "Upmerge for now." If you do create a critical mass of newspapers, like 4 or 5, then the category can be recreated. But until this it is not helpful to isolate this single newspaper. Mason (talk) 15:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:1800 murders by continent to Category:Murder in 1800
- Nominator's rationale: Only one continent in here, which isn't helpful for navigaiton Mason (talk) 02:29, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, this would randomly remove a category from the middle of the tree of Category:Murders by year and continent. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ahhh ok. that makes sense. Mason (talk) 15:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
