The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Based in this CfD.--MikutoH talk! 21:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:2,6-Dihydroxybiphenyls

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) 22:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Category only contains one page, and cannot be easily expanded: only two pages are in both Category:Biphenyls and Category:Resorcinols, only one of which is actually a 2,6-dihydroxybiphenyl. Preimage (talk) 16:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Shouldn't the category be merged to its parents? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:05, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Oh yep. Have changed the proposal from deletion to merge as suggested. Thanks! Preimage (talk) 17:24, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Fictional insectivores

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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:42, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: We don't have a category for insectivores, so it's odd to keep a category for fictional insectivores. Furthermore, while hedgehogs do eat insects, they are in fact omnivores so their presence in the category is questionable. All entries and subcategories are already categorized as Category:Fictional mammals. Pichpich (talk) 15:04, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment - Created this many years ago only because I saw it had been populated with articles (I presume it was rhinogradentia that put it on my radar). No opinion at all as to whether it's deleted. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:12, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete - Listify, if wanted. I don't think we should start whole trees of animals based upon what they eat. - jc37 23:05, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Rape in video 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: no consensus. A deletion proposal might gain consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:46, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Move to a defining name from a non-defining name. I have nominated this category for renaming rather than trying to speedy it because many of the games in it have rape as a non-defining aspect of the story. There seem to be enough to justify a category of games where it is defining to the game, but it will have to be manually purged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:58, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete - Oppose rename: sexual assault seems to be a broader term than rape. And most of the category's members are not "about", but merely have the act of rape within the game. This should be a list, if anything, to explain the occurrences, which we cannot do in categories, per WP:BEFORECAT. - jc37 23:09, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Category:Trees of the Eastern United States

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 Category:Trees of the Eastern United States, Category:Trees of the West Coast of the United States and Category:Trees of the Plains-Midwest (United States) to Category:Trees of Northern America. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:46, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: As with previous discussions on tree categories this will eliminate an inconsistently used category. It will reduce the amount of WP:OVERCAT and be similar to two previous mergers of all the national categories for tree to the umbrella Category:Trees of Europe in 2015 and the North American state and provincial categories in 2023. I suspect that all the species are already categorized in Trees of Northern America, but just in case I'm moving for a merge rather than a delete. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:39, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Commenting because I have relevant professional knowledge: it is common to group Eastern North America when writing arboriculture guide books; see . Whether that makes the category useful for navigation is something for persons smarter than I to decide. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 01:02, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
    Trees, being plants, are already categorized into states and regions at outlined at Wikipedia:PLANTS/Using the WGSRPD. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 18:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  • I can imagine that there is too much overlap in trees between the different regions, making categorization by region impractible. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Rename to Category:Trees of the United States and merge in Category:Trees of the West Coast of the United States and Category:Trees of the Plains-Midwest (United States). The United States is large enough that by-continent is a little much, but subdividing it is WP:OVERCAT. However this would be a valid subcategory of Category:Flora of the United States. (Will tag the other two categories - this should probably be relisted considering it's the 12th.) - The Bushranger One ping only 21:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
    @The Bushranger While the US is more than big enough it also does not make sense both in light of previous mergers and the way that botanists organize plants by geographic extent. Previously, I asked the other editors at the WP:PLANTS project if we should have categories for trees equivalent to those of World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. I was asking with no strong opinion either way, wanting to know if I should do the work to clean the trees categories up or if they should be merged. The clear answer at that time was to merge.
    Trees of the United States does not make sense as a category because the geographic ranges of trees do not well match with the political boarders of the United States. The trees do get geographically organized, but with all the other plants. Frex: Blue Spruce is in Flora of Arizona, Flora of Colorado, Flora of Idaho, Flora of Montana, Flora of New Mexico, Flora of Utah, and Flora of Wyoming in addition to Trees of Northern America. There is no need for Trees of the United States. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 00:26, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
    Looking it up, the various field guides are "of North America", i.e. Canada+US, and Category:Trees of Northern America exists. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:33, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: The official name TinaLees-Jones (talk) 02:35, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete both. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 22:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining category that's just a container category SMasonGarrison 02:10, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as WP:CSD#G5 (created and populated by sock of banned User:Kriestovo Nysian); same goes for supercat Category:Slavic nobility. Don't merge but delete both. Neither of them is useful – there is no benefit in categorizing noble families by the language families associated with the nations they belong to. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete both, trivial intersection between social class and language family. I have tagged Category:Slavic nobility too. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
    Fine with me SMasonGarrison 01:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
