- Nominator's rationale: Overlaps pretty closely, no? Is a separate category really useful? —swpbT 20:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note there is nothing to merge as the category is empty. MarnetteD|Talk 18:58, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete since empty. There are some characters in the film series, I believe many of the human ones, who are unique to the series. However it appears that at present they lack articles, and having watched most of the film series, I have to admit I think their lacking articles makes sense.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:30, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete along with the policies mentioned we can add WP:INDISCRIMINATE. MarnetteD|Talk 17:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- delete Maybe there could be some justification for Category:Celebrities who started smoking even after the Surgeon General told them it was going to eventually kill them but even that would be a stretch. Mangoe (talk) 19:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-defining and trivial. For one thing, smoking is a thing people can quit doing, so lots of people would both belong and not belong here at the same time. (Schrödinger's category!) And for another, everybody filed here right now is a person who was alive in the mid-20th century when smoking was the norm, rather than the exception as it is today — we did not always know how dangerous it is, kids — so this would be an unbrowsably massive megacategory if it were added to every single person who could somehow be verified as having been a smoker at some point in their lives. Bearcat (talk) 23:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. A potentially huge, non-defining category with potential for endless debates about inclusion. (Do people stay in cat if they quit?) DragonflyDC (talk) 04:42, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete -- Deciding who is a celeb wholly depends on the editor's POV. Furthermore smoking is too commonplace to merit a category. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:53, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I think we have a fairly strong consensus that people who quit smoking belong in the category. That said, shouldn't FDR be in here, although that is the other problem. We have few if any other categories with the name "celebrity", because it is hard to define. World-wide smoking may actually be at present the habit of a majority of the world population, at least as of 25-year-ago it was on the rise in China while declining in the US. It seems assumed this is meant to just cover tabacco smokers, but that is not explicitly stated, so people who smoke other substances would seem to belong here as well. Lastly, do they have to be well known for smoking, or just be well known and smoke? Also, while people who smoked on screen in film or TV would probably clearly fit, how often does someone have had to smoked to belong here? If we had a person who it said they smoked once in their life, and never tried it again, do they belong?John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:36, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Of the four things in this category, only one significantly "depicts" Bette Davis, the mini-series Feud. Vogue mentions her name, Bette Davis Eyes discusses a woman with a facial feature that resembles Davis and the comic book contains what based on the article is a cameo along with dozens of other Hollywood stars. With only one article legitimately fitting the category I do not see any need for it. Crewman Capote (talk) 05:55, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: merge. The reverse merge option hasn't been discussed as such, so this closure is without prejudice against an early fresh nomination about the correct name of the category. (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 02:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
