The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Pretenders. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 22:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Propose upmerging...
...to Category:Pretenders for now.
Nominator's rationale: WP:MFN. All these cats have fewer than 5 articles in them, and therefore hardly aid navigation. I am preparing other discussions on lists and categories of pretenders (see User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Line of succession to the former X throne), but this is an easy first step.

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 22:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCEGRS, trivial intersection with gender. Merging is not necessary, the single article is already in Category:Asian ghosts. Marcocapelle ( talk) 11:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Support per nom. And I would also support containerizing Category:Female ghosts, to discourage gendering individual ghosts Mason ( talk) 14:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Splitting by gender is not trivial for living people, fictional characters, mythological figures or folklore figures. It's the simplest most commonplace way to difuse categories, and gender has and continues to have defining impact on all humans and all reflections of humans in culture. ★Trekker ( talk) 08:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC) reply
    Oppose deleting/containerizing for these same reasons. Gender is a useful distinction for categories about real people, fictional characters, and mythical figures alike. AHI-3000 ( talk) 01:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per StarTrekker. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 02:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per discussion, spookily defining. Both categories are well stocked (especially the female ghosts) and informative to readers interested in the topic. Randy Kryn ( talk) 09:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Gender is a defining aspect of the topic. There are many variations of the White Lady ghost, and specific reports of ghostly nuns. Dimadick ( talk) 13:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete ( non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 22:12, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining. Skerry's College wasn't an individual college, it was a series of courses that preped you for the civil servants examine. Mason ( talk) 04:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Delete per nom. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 14:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Highly defining and probably too thinly populated. That Skerry's College was a commercial chain of schools, plus early distance learning, is neither here nor there. For working class people it was one of very few options for post-schoool education available in the UK at the time, & a key element of the biographies of the working-class heroes in the category.

The result of the discussion was: manual merge. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 22:11, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining intersection between being LGBT and being a civil servant. Per EGRS, the intersection must be relevant. Notably, there isn't a LGBT civil servant category. Mason ( talk) 04:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Category:Rhythm games

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: keep. Nominator requested withdrawal. (non-admin closure) – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 03:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Some may not agree with me but there are several reasons I have for this merge. First of all, many video games labeled as a rhythm game in their articles are instead located in Category:Music video games, and now especially since I recently removed all subcategories in this category except for Rhythmic action games. Secondly, the five languages that this category is also in (please ignore the French version since it has over a hundred articles but was created over a decade ago unlike the English version) have only a few articles in each one. Finally, rhythm game and music game may be different things, but the category for music video games as whole contains subcategories for various types of music game, often distinct from rhythm games, such as Karaoke or Dance games. QuantumFoam66 ( talk) 04:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose, I can't really see a problem here, neither of the three arguments is convincing. If many articles about rhythm games are not in this category yet, they should be added. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:21, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose Rhythm games are a distinct genre unto themselves with their own article separate from music games. Not all music games are rhythm based. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ ( ᴛ) 16:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
    Speedy close, I guess this didn't really mean anything at the end. My bad. QuantumFoam66 ( talk) 18:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 22:04, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I honestly want the category Video games about legendary creatures to be reverted, neither category alone is very populated in either way. QuantumFoam66 ( talk) 03:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply
Oppose for same reasons given below. Also you should've notified me about this too. AHI-3000 ( talk) 19:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC) reply
