editCategory:Fictional bullies
edit- 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: rename to Category:Fictional school bullies and purge all non-school-bullies. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This category fails WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. The characters in the category run the full spectrum between "a little mean" and "evil murdering villain". While it's true that bully archetypes exist, the lines are far too blurry and having the category does more harm than good. ThanatosApprentice (talk) 23:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Tentative suggesting rename to Fictional school bullies and trim appropriately. The school bully character archetype patently exists in fiction. The problem currently is that characters that are just plain old mean are thrown into this category—and sometimes characters that aren't even all that mean! (Peppermint Patty? Really?). But a category that includes school bully characters like Biff Tannen, Johnny Lawrence (character), Draco Malfoy, and Regina George (Mean Girls) seems useful for readers and is probably what a typical reader expects from this category. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 07:50, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Category:Fictional school bullies per Hydrangeans. Makes complete sense as a category. (Oinkers42) (talk) 14:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- I still don't think the category is necessary, but "school bullies" is a lot better for a category than just "bullies". ThanatosApprentice (talk) 00:03, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: No need for a category containing American people of more than one ethnicity. We don't have categories for other multi-ethnic Americans. ... discospinster talk 21:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Government of Alberton
edit- 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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Government of Alberton to Category:Government of the East Rand
- Nominator's rationale: Alberton is part of Ekurhuleni (also known as the East Rand) and so, it does not have its own government, just like every other town within the municipality of Ekurhuleni. GeographicAccountant (talk) 21:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. Presumably in addition the target should be renamed to Category:Government of Ekurhuleni. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:29, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Delete for now with no object against recreation when there are more articles on this. Only two related articles. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:08, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:00, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Assessment software to Category:Educational software
- Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. This category is underpopulated and not clearly defined Mason (talk) 03:49, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Liberal theorists to Category:Political philosophers
- Propose merging Category:British liberal theorists to Category:British political philosophers

- Propose merging Category:French liberal theorists to Category:French political philosophers
- Propose merging Category:Indian liberal theorists to Category:Indian political philosophers
- Propose merging Category:Chinese liberal theorists to Category:Chinese political philosophers
- Nominator's rationale: As a follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_August_6#conservative_liberals, I'm not sure what to do with these categories. Liberal theorist is incredibly vague. Is it people who theorize about classical liberalism? Is this Theorists who are politically liberal? Is this Philosophers who study liberalism? Mason (talk) 00:58, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle pinging from the last discussion Mason (talk) 01:08, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, for few it is a defining characteristic, don't merge to philosophers because few are philosophers. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:33, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Historical note: following Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_June_3#Classical_liberals, these were set up for former members of Classical liberals who are neither classical liberal economists nor liberal politicians. – Fayenatic London 08:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 15:13, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Isolated category. x3 Upmerge. Mason (talk) 23:52, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: This category was nominated on 18 July by Mason, but was inadvertently removed by AHI-3000 when they made a subsequent nomination. This was live on the CFD page for under 20 minutes, so this is not really a relist but rather an initial listing. (On a different note, there is a parenthesis error in the nomination :D)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)- Fixed the parenthesis :) Mason (talk) 01:00, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
