Category:Fictional extraterrestrial royalty

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 10:41, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:NARROWCAT. Too narrow an intersection between ET's and royalty for a category to be needed. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ) 15:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - surely fictional extraterrestrial royalty is not limited to emperors and princesses. In any case the nom should be 'upmerge to all parents', not delete. Oculi ( talk) 10:02, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I see no relevance of OVERCAT here, and Oculi has already pointed to scope for expansion. Dimadick ( talk) 14:03, 15 September 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename (option B). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 10:44, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: To match some other existing categories in the surrounding hierarchies. The last four were tagged by user:Ali17082001 in August without starting a discussion. – Fayenatic London 21:24, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Comment, instead we might rename the surrounding "frogs and toads" categories to just "frogs". At least there should be some consistency. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:02, 9 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Toad is just a common name used for various families of frogs, based on a perceived similarity in their appearance. They are not a distinct taxonomic group. Dimadick ( talk) 13:58, 15 September 2022 (UTC) reply

OK, here's Option B:
Fayenatic London 22:08, 19 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Support option B, the usage of "toads" in the category name is redundant. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Imperial Academy of Arts academic personnel. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 10:47, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This category relates to the Imperial Academy of Arts. I cant see what "by rank" signifies, but perhaps I'm missing something. Rathfelder ( talk) 21:40, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. Giant Snowman 14:51, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Support per nom - but why is not at WP:CFDS? Giant Snowman 14:54, 17 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    @ GiantSnowman That's where I tried to put them, but apparently I chose the wrong option in Twinkle. Sørhaug ( talk) 11:03, 20 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I think Twinkle doesn't work for speedy category renames. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Speedy rename per nom, C2D. As this was intended for the speedy section, this could be done immediately (as it's been more than 48 since proposed, and no objections). Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: soft delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 10:56, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Propose deleting:
50 more categories
Nominator's rationale: these each contain only a "Buildings and structures" sub-category. Those are already contained within Category:Architecture by country via Category:Buildings and structures by country. WP:SOFTDELETE until there is at least one more thing to put in them, e.g. an article on Architecture in Foo, or a sub-cat of Fooian architects. If not deleted, rename using "in" as above. – Fayenatic London 10:54, 16 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Support soft deletion, for now it is a redundant category layer. Marcocapelle ( talk) 13:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Support other than Czechoslovakia, which has architects. The others do not: see User:Oculi/sandbox3. Oculi ( talk) 17:59, 16 September 2022 (UTC) reply
