Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON. Siwa's use in a video game does not warrant the need for this eponymous category. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:01, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose merging Category:Films by demographic to Category:Films by audience

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:52, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I've no strong views on this one, whether it gets renamed or eg merged into ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Employment websites, but it's just an awful name for a category. Corresponding Career-oriented social networking market is just a deep redirect into Social networking service, so at the very least "markets" should be replaced by "services" but something shorter would be nice.

  • We generally avoid abbreviations, unless they are clearly the common name. The fact that you propose two different abbreviations makes it quite unlikely that either one of them is clearly the common name. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:57, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:44, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The intention behind this is to date when bodies were identified. The fact that it was uncategorised suggests that the creator had not looked at the hierarchy and was unaware that this is not something we normally categorise by. I suggest that it's not particularly WP:DEFINING - and the only article in it is already well categorised. Le Deluge (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Game Source Entertainment

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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:43, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We have no article on Game Source Entertainment and as far as I can tell from the articles tagged with it, it's just a secondary publisher in some Far East markets rather than the originator of the games. Edit: it looks like Draft:Game Source Entertainment failed AFC back in March and was removed in October, which prompted the single-purpose account that created it to create the category.

Category:Protoscience

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. (All of the articles in it at the time of this close are in ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:History of science or a subcategory of it.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:40, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The previous result was to Delete: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_May_21#Category:Protoscience. But for some reason, this category was re-created back in April 2020 [1] and the user added four articles to it (excluding the Protoscience article itself), three of which do not mention "protoscience" anywhere in the articles. It should be deleted again per the previous rationale of the closer: "consensus is that this term is ambiguous enough that it does not provide useful categorization. In other words, the inclusion criteria are so unclear that it's difficult to even evaluate whether this category is defining." Some1 (talk) 05:19, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Petrovic Njegos
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Grand Masters of the Order of Petrovic Njegos
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
The Order of Petrović Njegoš is a dynastic order from Montenegro, given to Montenegrin Princes and other more distantly related European Princes. Being a prince is defining which is why, without exception, everyone in this category is already in Category:Princes of Montenegro or elsewhere in Category:Princes by country, so this category is redundant. There is already a list here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Timor-Leste Solidarity Medal
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
The Timor-Leste Solidarity Medal is a campaign medal for all foreign soldiers who participated in the Australian led Operation Astute during the 2006 East Timorese crisis. While a large number of soldiers must have received the award, right now the category has three articles all of whom are also under Category:Australian military personnel of the International Force for East Timor. There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
