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: delete. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 01:55, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I don't think that this intersection between being admitted as a spie and being a soviet spie is defining. And if it is, then we probably need to rename this category to reflect that many of these people were not soviet nationals, but Category:Spies for the Soviet Union Mason ( talk) 23:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete ( non-admin closure)LaundryPizza03 ( d ) 03:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Not viable as a category after it was purged as a result of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 May 3#Subcategories of Category:Film controversies by country: only two subcategories and zero articles. Merging is not needed imo; both subcategories are already in the category trees they need to be in. House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 23:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Has a typo. Correct category Category:East Midlands franchise has already been created so cannot be renamed, therefore delete. Dank Jae 21:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

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: Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 22:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization: This is a category for films directed by someone who has either never had or no longer has a Wikipedia article about them. It has only one entry and a search for additional articles that meet the criteria of this category turned up no results. Vegantics ( talk) 19:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep The relevant part of WP:Overcategorization has been deprecated; it also said this type of category was an exception. The only reason this is no longer mentioned in the guideline is that the consensus to delete small categories no longer exists. Peter James ( talk) 11:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete ( non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 01:14, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Has one article only; delete, with no objections to recreation if there is more on the matter. I'm not sure about the victims category is necessary either because other victim of aviation categories are often major air disasters. I would not considered this one on that scale. Would like to hear the opinions of others on it. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 15:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete for now, without objection to recreate the category when some more articles are available. This is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete for now. I think that this category isn't helpful with only one page and a category of the victims. This just adds an extra click, which if anything could negatively impact navigation (rather than just being unhelpful). Mason ( talk) 00:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete for now without prejudice. NLeeuw ( talk) 03:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Category:Manager of the Year Award winners

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: Withdrawn. Will check in with WP:Baseball first about categories. (non-admin closure) Omnis Scientia ( talk) 18:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Rename per WP:C2D; article is Major League Baseball Manager of the Year Award. I tried to change it via speedy rename but, for whatever reason, it changed the name of the parent category instead. I tried again but it still hasn't changed. Hence why I'm trying it through full Cfd. Omnis Scientia ( talk) 14:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: closed. The category was never tagged, but as this is a straightforward C2D case I am going to WP:IAR by closing this and listing it at WP:CFDS. (non-admin closure) House Blaster ( talk · he/him) 01:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Due to the name of the main article, Kadiivka. Yuriy Kvach ( talk) 09:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer for navigation. Let'srun ( talk) 04:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Just delete I guess. Having a roads category with a bridges subcategory would be rather odd. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Redudant category layer. Upmerge for now. I looked and was unable to find any other victims of helicopter crashes in Iran Mason ( talk) 02:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
I finally found another one! https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Albert_Lamorisse&oldid=1224893436 Mason ( talk) 03:12, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining characteristics of event × continent × nationality ×occupation against the guidance of WP:PERFCAT. This is an attempt to circumvent Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of K-pop concerts held outside Asia, see WT:KO#List of K-pop concerts held outside Asia. plicit 00:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC) reply
