Category:Western (genre) adventure films

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. – Fayenatic London 10:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Virtually all Westerns are adventure films and these categories are superfluous and unnecessary, especially as the criteria for inclusion is ambiguous in that some of the articles mention adventure but most do not.

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:CATGENDER as gender in this instance has no specific relation to the topic. User:Namiba 19:14, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 10:18, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, the category has existed for more than 5 years and still contains only one user page, so it does not contribute much to user collaboration. There is no need to merge, the user is already in Category:Non-binary Wikipedians. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:02, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Foreign films shot in Japan

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. I will use Petscan to remove those that are already sub-categorised by prefecture/city. I am also making a procedural nomination for similar categories at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 September 3#Foreign films. – Fayenatic London 09:55, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia does not have a comprehensive scheme of using the category system to segregate the foreign films shot in a country from the domestic films shot in a country. We normally just categorize them together, and subcategorize by jurisdiction (e.g. specific city or prefecture) where possible and known. And no, the parent category isn't large enough to need this, either -- adding everything here to that category still wouldn't even get it to 200 articles, precisely because many films are already subcatted by city or prefecture.

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:08, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one article Pandosia (Epirus), and it does not mention ancient Elis. Nor is this colonial relationship mentioned in ancient Elis or Greek colonisation. – Fayenatic London 09:49, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural relisting after User:JoergenB inappropriately removed the CfD tag. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:02, 28 July 2021 (UTC) [reply]
My sincere apologies, @Marcocapelle and Fayenatic london! I did not intend to remove the CfD listing, and was not aware of having committed this (as you mention) rather inappropriate act. I don't understand how this happened. Possibly, I was looking at an older version, and mistakenly editing this; but, if so, the system must have sent me the standard warning about editing an old version, which I should have observed. Of course, the listing should not have been removed until some decision has been reached. JoergenB (talk) 14:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:12, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:EGRS, this is intersection is not "recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right." User:Namiba 16:19, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Squares by city

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. Per other discussions that closed in favor of "squares" only. bibliomaniac15 19:31, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To match the parents for each nation e.g. Category:Squares in Australia, rather than the generic international parent. Note: I have not nominated New Zealand, because Dunedin does have one called "Plaza". – Fayenatic London 14:53, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Non-hyperbolic knots and links

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) Marcocapelle (talk) 18:17, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We typically don't categorize things by what they are not, i.e. Category:Hyperbolic knots and links. In this case, the category is redundant to the disjoint union of Category:Satellite knots and links and Category:Torus knots and links because all knots and links can be cleanly classified as either torus, satellite, or hyperbolic (Thurston 1980).
Note that if this category and the one immediately beneath are deleted, then Category:Knots and links by hyperbolic volume will be empty. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:16, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 09:40, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Excessive differentiation - not defining. Being Jewish does not appear to have affected their work as botanists. All are already in botanist categories Rathfelder (talk) 08:48, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
