Nominator's rationale: Merge per
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. "Failed" or "unsuccessful" is a subjective judgement that doesn't account for potential success later, acquiring actual publisher funding, choosing to cancel a Kickstarter, etc. Even when supposedly "failed", a Kickstarter can give a game free advertising.

Oppose for the reason that a failed crowdfunding campaign is a project that did not end up getting crowdfunded, so it would not fit into the latter categories. Maybe "unsuccessful crowdfunding campaigns" would work better, putting more focus on the attempt to crowdfund than the larger project of doing things with the funds - if this even is worth categorizing an article by in the first place.--

Rename/Merge as updated pending discussion. I've removed one of the two
Category:Failed crowdfunding projects, as crowdfunding was never mentioned in the article. The other "failed" upward, as $793,000 raised is not usually considered a failure, and the platform may be completed later. William Allen Simpson (

Nominator's rationale: rename and reparent to the Monarchs hierarchy. Monarchs is more specific than rulers and the concept of child rulers only makes sense in a monarchy.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 15:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Rename per nom. Scratching my head, I can only think of the
Dalai Lama as a case where a state would select a child that is not a monarch to rule it, obviously through regents. There are other culture which also select children as religious figures, but I'm not sure there is any other place where they are also invested temporal powers. Anyway, this case practically comes down to a non-hereditary monarchy, so I subscribe to the nomination.
Place Clichy (
talk) 18:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)reply
Rename per nom. It is highly improbable that any child would be appointed as a ruler, other than by inheriting the position. As a child, actual rule will be in the hands of a regent(s). This includes
Dalai Lama, who is believed to be his predecessor reincarnated. "Child" needs to be judged according to whether they had a regent, as some kings declared themselves of age and began ruling at less than the normal full age.

Nominator's rationale:WP:OVERLAPCAT. Poorly named and unmaintained
Maintenance category. Petscan shows that a number of "underground" rapid transit systems are missing. Using
Category:Rapid transit itself would be better and more complete than only "subway systems".
Delete per nom, overlap with the tree of
Category:Rapid transit - unless someone can explain what kind of maintenance is done here.
Marcocapelle (

Keep - and populate using eg the Petcan mentioned in the nom. 'Delete because incomplete' is a novel rationale at cfd.
Oculi (

Overlapping categories that are not well populated is a fairly common rationale. Over the past 6+ years, mostly
RevelationDirect and I have proposed deleting one or more of these.
Oculi always opposes without explaining how s/he is doing maintenance. Perhaps the creator
Solomonfromfinland can explain what maintenance is actually done. In the meantime, I'll purge those not specifically about subways. William Allen Simpson (
