Category:Canon Law articles needing attention

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) 05:06, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-standard category which is populated manually. The talk page of the member article Inventory of Church Property is now marked with parameter attention=y which places it in Category:Catholicism articles needing attention. Catholic canon law now has a task force rather than a full WikiProject. I believe the project template has no scope to designate a different attention category for task force articles. – Fayenatic London 22:29, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Reality by type" is confounding; the contents are all vaguely synonymous with virtual reality. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 21:10, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The category is certainly better now (and the initial merge makes less sense) but I'm not sure why this needs be separate from Category:Reality. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 03:50, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lists of restaurants by ethnicity

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 also considering the previous discussion. If there is going to be a follow-up nomination about using "cuisine" in the name it makes sense to nominate the two categories together. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:40, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per this ongoing discussion. There seems to be a preference for "ethnic restaurants" over "restaurants by ethnicity", so seeking consistency here. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:45, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:English anti-communists

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 14:37, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Appears to be a pure WP:OPINIONCAT/WP:NONDEF, similar to the previous American Anti-Communists category. Contains mainly people who (like most English people) didn't like communism. The English Anti-Fascists category probably also needs to be either deleted (or renamed so as to explicitly only cover actual activists who were members of e.g., Anti-Fascist Action or similar groupings).

Category:Optical wireless communication

The result of the discussion was: delete (merging is not needed, the content is already in Category:Optical communications) (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 16:59, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This new category is redundant with Category:Optical communications. All optical communication is "wireless". Srleffler (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If someone wants to argue that we take "wireless" more broadly to exclude optical fiber and other physical connections I would be fine with that, however one of the three things the creator of this category put in it was Category:Fiber-optic communications, which makes the category completely redundant with Category:Optical communications. A subcategory to collect together material on optical communications methods that send signals through free space might be useful, but we have to be careful about the name. Optical wireless communications and Free-space optical communication are two distinct technologies. Category:Free-space optical communication might be the better name for a category that encompasses both, due to the ambiguity of the term "wireless" as applied to optical communications.--Srleffler (talk) 20:45, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 06:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC) [reply]
TL;DR: This category is redundant. Delete it.--Srleffler (talk) 20:17, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 14:37, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An incoherent mix of suicides, school shooters, and social media personalities. Not defining, and impossible to complete. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 01:44, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Urban 13 universities

The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 14:37, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic. I just redirected Urban 13 to Great Cities' Universities, I think it was a 1998 name change - if this is kept it should be renamed. Book sources verify this organization used to exist, but it appears to no longer have a website and may be defunct (or merged into Coalition of Urban Serving Universities over a decade ago).
