Nominator's rationale: WP:CHEMVALID leads to Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Chembox validation which itself is only in Category:Wikipedia chemical data validation so this seems like both categories are for the same thing. Gonnym ( talk) 22:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Switch Mobility is a bus manufacturer that only makes buses. As this is currently a "vehicles" category, it has to be in "Vehicles by brand" which makes this category more difficult to find. Therefore, I propose renaming to "buses", so it can also go in the "Buses by manufacturer" category, which more people will be looking for this category in. -- Ferien ( talk) 13:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Wikipedians interested in oceans and seas. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 14:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: New name is more concise and a lot of the subcategories aren't even oceans. 8   foo. bar( "baz"); 05:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Who said anything about surface? There may be a subsurface ocean (of water no less) on Saturn's moon Enceladus and on Jupiter's moon Europa. Clarityfiend ( talk) 11:51, 10 August 2023 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 22:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The category is only for video games about marbles, so calling it "Marble video games" is more accurate and stops potential confusion with any games played with actual, physical, marbles. QuietCicada ( talk) 03:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Rename per ZXCVBNM. (In typing this I realised our usernames are perhaps more similar than one might assume.) —  Qwerfjkl talk 20:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT, WP:OCAWARD & WP:NONDEFINING
The Association for Symbolic Logic hosts an annual lecture series called the Gödel Lecture and this category groups mathematicians who gave it. These speakers also receive an award for coming but this performance isn't treated as defining in the biography articles, generally getting mentioned in passing with other honours. The category contents are already listed right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Background We've deleted similar categories for academics giving lectures here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Keep, destroying all the categories for lecturers? Yay? Wikipedia may be running out of things to do. Randy Kryn ( talk) 00:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, not a defining characteristic. It unnecessarily increases category clutter in the articles while especially biographies often contain so many category tags already. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:21, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per precedents. Nederlandse Leeuw ( talk) 08:47, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply
