Nominator's rationale: Way too specific of a category; one who's members all fit Category:Percussionists already. No one in the world classifies themselves as a "gong player". Why? I Ask ( talk) 20:59, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Some e.g. Airto Moreira#Instruments list various percussion instruments that they have played, but they do not need to be categorised by each of them – indeed, that would be WP:OCAT. Most do not mention gongs in the article, so playing gongs is not WP:DEFINING. All have better categories as percussionists, so no merge is needed. Category:Triangle players must be similarly undeserving of a category; nominator, do you want to add it to this nomination? – Fayenatic London 21:34, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    I have removed that listing from Moreira. If you're a percussionist, it's expected that you will play common percussion, so the list means nothing. (All other pages should follow suit if they have that). For whatever reason, I wouldn't doubt someone would want to keep the triangle category, so I'll make that a separate discussion. There are some categories that could potentially be added though, if you look at the subcats for Category:Percussionists (e.g., glockenspiel players, güira players, güiro players, tubular bells players). I do think a case could be made for keeping castanets and tambourine, and maracas, though. Why? I Ask ( talk) 00:01, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
I have never seen a güirero playing tambora or congas. -- Opus88888 ( talk) 17:52, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Half the people in the category are known best for playing congas. Why? I Ask ( talk) 13:34, 24 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Category:End of World Music

Nominator's rationale: "End of World Music" is not a widely recognized music genre and the term does not appear in the articles for the artists in this category. The common element of these artists is that most (not all, see Raven Chacon) are signed to the Stone Tapes label or its parent label Joyful Noise Recordings. Alternatives to deletion would be to create Category:Stone Tapes artists and selectively add artists there or delete and use only Category:Joyful Noise Recordings artists where it's relevant.

  • Support Deleting: Looking up "End of World Music" on Google only brought up this category. I'm fairly certain it's not a suitable category. Why? I Ask ( talk) 23:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Support deletion, I can only find a few mentions online of "end of world music"; this categorization might refer to that, or to " end of world music". Either way, none of the articles mentions it, and per nomination it's not a widely recognised musical genre. Storchy ( talk) 07:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Category with unclear scope and no suitable merge target. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 02:40, 23 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete not a verifiable thing. Jontesta ( talk) 15:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Category:Madura

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/rename. Merge first two as per nom, and rename Category:Persepam to Category:Persepam Madura Utama (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 19:37, 29 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: What is this category for??? Madura is an island, not any other administrative division (not a province or otherwise). We already have Category:Madura Island, so this category is not needed as far as I can tell and can be redirected, just like at Commons. P 1 9 9   ✉ 14:54, 13 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Not opposed to reverse merging, if that makes the most sense. But if there is no strong reason for it, then it will be better that the categories match the article naming conventions. -- P 1 9 9   ✉ 15:11, 16 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: delete, trivial intersection between a period in history and the fact that these countries no longer exist. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:00, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
Delete: countries don't belong to wars, so this doesn't make sense. Jontesta ( talk) 15:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Only contains two articles. If not merged, the first one should be renamed to Seljuk people stubs (or perhaps Seljuk Empire people stubs), following the pattern for former countries in [1]. – Fayenatic London 11:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: upmerge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory. Note: the first target has been nominated for renaming to Category:Jews from the Ottoman Empire. Marcocapelle ( talk) 02:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC) reply
