NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:English-language news websites without paywall
- Nominator's rationale: Whether a news outlet is behind a paywall or not is WP:NONDEFINING. Paywalls can be region-locked, can allow X number of articles before the gate shuts, and so on. It is too arbitrary and capricious to be used in this way. Zaathras (talk) 21:42, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Baseball pitching
- Propose renaming Category:Baseball pitching to Category:Pitching (baseball)
- Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:C2C; opposed at speedy a reason I didn't really understand. matches sister category Category:Batting (baseball). Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- I understand the opposition at speedy, there is only one category in this form so far, namely Category:Batting (baseball), so it is not an established convention. But I do not have an opinion on the rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Professional wrestling games
- Propose renaming Category:Professional wrestling games to Category:Professional wrestling video games
- Nominator's rationale: This current name is too vague because this category doesn't seem to contain any other type of game. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 20:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Did you check all 137 articles? If the answer is yes then by all means rename. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Counter-Earths
- Propose renaming Category:Counter-Earths to Category:Works set on Counter-Earths
- Nominator's rationale: Rename due to none of the articles actually being about a fictional Counter-Earth and only consisting of fictional works. Should become a subcategory of Category:Works by setting with most others removed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Alt merge to Category:Works set on fictional planets, most of the articles aren't clearly set on the Counter-Earth. Note that Counter-Earth can only be singular, not plural. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:21, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:10000000 (number)
- Nominator's rationale: Only page is a redirect, individual category seems useless Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 16:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:42, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:First Timers bands
- Nominator's rationale: WP:OCVENUE. We do not categorize bands for each individual festival or venue they may have played at, and First Timers is not such a highly meganotable special case as to warrant a special exception over and above other festivals. Bearcat (talk) 15:38, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Its function is different to most festivals though, as each band is playing for the first time there, so if they then become notable enough their having started out there is more distinct than a band playing at another festival at some point in their career. There are plenty of categories on here for bands who have released on specific record labels, and I see this as more in line with that. Lewishhh (talk) 15:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Agriculture in Saint Kitts and Nevis
- Nominator's rationale: Category contains only a redirect and an article about a historic cotton and sugar plantation that closed in the 1970s. Not helpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 12:54, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Female models from Allentown, Pennsylvania
- Nominator's rationale: Category with two entries, over-categorisation by occupation and location. Merge to relevant parents. AusLondonder (talk) 11:31, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Single merge to Category:Female models from Pennsylvania because the articles are already in Category:Actresses from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:People from Isiro
- Propose merging Category:People from Isiro to Category:People from Haut-Uélé
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 11:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:People from Ivangorod
- Propose merging Category:People from Ivangorod to Category:People from Kingiseppsky District
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 11:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:People from Volosovo
- Propose merging Category:People from Volosovo to Category:People from Volosovsky District
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing a single article, unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 11:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Rescue of Roma during the Romani genocide
- Nominator's rationale: merge, one article each, this is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:31, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment (creator). I hoped this would be populated by others since its creation, but no luck :( I agree this is currently underpopulated and there are no interwikis. I don't know any editor who is interested in and knowledgeable about this to populate this or comment on potential on this except User:Buidhe, perhaps. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:56, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Romani history by country
- Propose merging Category:Romani history by country to Category:Romani history
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Mason (talk) 03:05, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Pacific theatre of World War II US people
- Nominator's rationale: parent is American people of World War II, and norm is not "US people" Mason (talk) 02:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Rename, also for better understandability. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support. US people is pretty ugly... let's get rid of it whenever we can. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:57, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:East Toowoomba, Queensland
- Propose renaming Category:East Toowoomba, Queensland to Category:East Toowoomba
- Nominator's rationale: To match renamed article East Toowoomba. AusLondonder (talk) 01:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- This could be speedied. Mason (talk) 02:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- No as the article was renamed without a RM, it would likely have been opposed at CFDS. AusLondonder (talk) 08:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- This could be speedied. Mason (talk) 02:51, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Rename, this seems to be unambiguous. It could not have been speedied, the article was just moved without discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Suburbs of Maryborough
- Propose merging Category:Suburbs of Maryborough to Category:Maryborough, Queensland
- Nominator's rationale: Category containing only one article, would be better categorised within parent Category:Maryborough, Queensland. AusLondonder (talk) 00:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Merge, per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Category:Gaza envelope
- propose renaming: Category:Gaza envelope to Category:Gaza Strip envelope
- Nominator's rationale: More accurate and similar to the main article for the category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cactinites (talk • contribs)
