The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) HouseBlastertalk 14:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:NONDEF. While this can be a defining trait for stories themselves, a character is not defined by whether or not they had been cryonically preserved at one point. (Besides, the title implies that they are currently preserved in which case they wouldn't be much of a character). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:58, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose; this makes a hash of things. There are characters who are notably cryonically preserved but not for a long enough period to be considered "displaced in time" (e.g. Han Solo; Riddick (character)), and there are plenty of characters displaced in time without being cryonically preserved, so let's keep these distinct things distinct.

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Clearly violates WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, as "abnormal" is subjective. Also, it mixes various positive and negative traits. I would say a selective merge to the parent category is appropriate. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 09:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. It doesn't seem that subjective. Each subcategory has a common thing tying them together, which is characters whose aging process is unusual or has been unnaturally affected in one way or another. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:35, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I don't know how "abnormal" is defined, but the target category seems to be a container category. Dimadick (talk) 10:44, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dimadick: The proposed category also contains only subcategories, besides Chronos, who I moved to the correct subcategory just now. So it would still function the same. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:58, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I still oppose merging or deleting this category in any way.

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 all to Category:Fictional characters by occupation. bibliomaniac15 06:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This and all of its immediate subcategories should be deleted - the entire thing is rubbish created by a blocked, disruptive user and results in a vast array of redundant categories that are already handled by Category:Fictional characters by occupation. There is no need to further sort into "occupational types", many of which are arbitrary groupings. There are too many subcategories to individually nominate, but this would not involve deleting the occupation ones, only their containers that they were sorted into. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:08, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional mermen and mermaids[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 to Category:Fictional merfolk and split into Category:Fiction about merfolk. bibliomaniac15 05:43, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Realistically, most articles in this category aren't even individual characters, but works of media. Category:Fiction about mermaids should actually become a subcategory of this one, and any relevant articles should be moved to that subcategory. For the few articles that are fictional merfolk, they can be upmerged to Category:Merfolk or Category:Mermaids in popular culture and Category:Fictional human–animal hybrids. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:25, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alternate rename to Category:Fictional merfolk, which would serve as a more direct parallel to Category:Merfolk. AHI-3000 (talk) 21:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm not convinced that it's a better title. It reads as more encyclopedic, but it seems much less likely to be searched for than "mermaids", and probably somewhat less than "mermen". I don't think the difference in technical correctness/gender neutrality is enough to justify the move from a much more recognizable title. The fact that it's a category, rather than an article, makes this less of a concern, but also makes renaming it to get the "perfect" title seem less important. P Aculeius (talk) 15:23, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Realistically I could have speedy moved this because the parent category is Category:Merfolk. There is also a Merfolk main article. Unless that one is moved, this one shouldn't be different. The only reason I listed it here is because the scope is markedly different than its title. You are free to start a pagemove discussion at merfolk to move it to "Mermen and mermaids" if you think it's off, but this is strictly a procedural thing at the moment. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that "speedy" applies when there's opposition or at least debate about the proposed move! It's designed to be used when the move isn't controversial at all. However, I note that this is also a subcategory of "fictional animal–human hybrids", as is the case with the categories proposed for upmerging below: harpies, centaurs, fauns, and volleyball players. A significant number of the entries are individuals, so splitting the category as Marcocapelle suggested may be necessary.
    As for the name, consistency between main articles and category titles is not essential, and it's illogical to assert that this category should be moved to a potentially worse title to match the main article, merely because the main article isn't the subject of a proposed move to a title matching this one. Both moves would need consensus to succeed, not just one of them, and if the current title is better than the proposed title, then it's okay to keep it, even if that means that the main article's title is inconsistent with the category's title. For what it's worth, I think that "fictional mermaids and mermen" would be preferable to the current title, but that's another kettle of fish. P Aculeius (talk) 16:20, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I was surprised to find the article title at Merfolk but since there is apparently consensus about it I can't see a reason why we wouldn't extrapolate this consensus to category space. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:51, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: procedural close. The categories are now category redirects, making this discussion moot. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 18:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 1992 and the so-called Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was officially renamed in 2003. The (dis)establishments decade categories may be merged to the sister categories with the latest name in that decade. Alternatively we may delete all decade categories and just keep the year categories, because of the short duration of this state. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:23, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SMcCandlish and Gonnym: pinging contributors to speedy discussion. Mason (talk) 20:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I dont find Gonnym's rationale in the collapse box to be compelling. Yes, there is also a Category:Essays, for articles about off-site essays that are notable, like "Politics and the English Language" by Orwell (and a few overview articles on types of such essays, e.g. Op-ed). None of them are about Wikipedia. We have no reason at all to redundantly "pre-disambiguate" Category:Essays about Wikipedian fallacies to Category:Wikipedia essays about Wikipedian fallacies when there are no notable off-site essays about Wikipedian fallacies. This CfR isn't going to make any sense until such time as there are enough off-site notable essays about Wikipedian fallacies that a category for them needs to be created. Sames goes for the other subcats of Category:Wikipedia essays that do not begin with "Wikipedia essays about": There are not any (much less enough for dedicated categories) notable off-site works that are essays of Wikipedia users, that are essays offering reader help to Wikipedia users, that are essays about what Wikipedia is, or that are WikiProject advice, and there surely never will be. A couple of these could possibly use clearer titles, e.g. Category:User essays → Category:Wikipedia user essays, and Category:Reader help‎ → Category:Wikipedia reader help‎, but essentially the same argument applies there, too: There are no notable off-site essays we need to categorize that are user essays of other systems, or help for readers of other sites. And all of these categories have {{Maintenance category}} on them (one didn't, but has been fixed), so there is no potential for encyclopedia reader confusion.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per my comment above. There are two types of essays here, real world and Wikipedia ones.

Nominator's rationale: for consistancy with other category names in Category:Baptists by nationality and Category:American Protestants by state respectively. Same situation with Baptist ministers by century, making it consistant with articles in Category:Baptist ministers by century. NOTE: I removed "territory" from the second one since it only contains states. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:36, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The main issue with this category is WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. When does an emerging technology become established? It's not clear and there is a lack of verifiability (i.e. sources describing them as "emerging") for many of these entries. Some I would not describe as "emerging" (i.e. Artificial womb) because they are a long way from being realized. Others such as GMOs are in the category even though they've been in use since 1994. I would also argue it's not defining because all technologies will be, are, or were emerging at one point. (t · c) buidhe 06:17, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
