Nominator's rationale: Not sure if this really is suitable for a category. I was about to propose listfying it, but it already is List of London Monopoly locations. Gonnym (talk) 23:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carlossuarez46: "someone's top50 list basically" How dare you belittle my work with such a cheap shot - as seen below it is actually 26 GOOD ARTICLES that I spent two years improving. Would you like if it I belittled some of your content creation with cheap jibes? I doubt it. Regarding the comment about Pall Mall, because reference bombing a good article is nonsensical. If you want further references, there are some here, here, here and here, not to mention the extensive account in Tim Moore's Do Not Pass Go.

@Marcocapelle: The editing guideline (not policy) you refer to, says verbatim, "A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define[1] the subject as having—such as nationality or notable profession (in the case of people), type of location or region (in the case of places), etc." The sources I have listed in this debate, plus those further referenced in the aforementioned Good Topic and Featured List adequately justify this. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, for Pentonville Road, this MyLondon source recommends The Castle at No. 54 as a recommended stop on a Monopoly pub crawl, as does this source in The Daily Telegraph. This source notes that The Angel, Islington is on the "Pentonville Road Interchange" (or, as most people would call it, the junction between that and Islington High Street), while this source by the London Evening Standard rounds up the Monopoly locations and ranks them by air pollution, where Pentonville Road (being on the A501 Inner Ring Road, a major traffic artery) comes in for some strong criticism. Meanwhile, Moore's book notes "So swift was Pentonville's decline that less than a hundred years on, it had been reeled all the way back from dark blue to light", referring to the road's decline in character during the 19th century. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:26, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neither of these sources is about Pentonville Road, they are all about Monopoly. A relevant source about Pentonville Road is e.g. [1] which does not define the street as a Monopoly place. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:34, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, for the reasons stated in the (fully-sourced) lead at List of London Monopoly locations. However, I am currently looking at improving the locations on a standard Irish board, beginning with improving O'Connell Street to GA, and the locations in Atlantic City (for the standard US board) would also be a worthwhile project. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:36, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Essentially, yes. Then we can have the same for every other game. Risk places, anyone? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 06:07, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's only sourced to that one because it's the best one, but it's by no means the only one, as demonstrated by the other sources mentioned in this discussion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:06, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That was more of a comment, not a total disqualifier. Based on the sources, I do not think being listed on a game board is a defining characteristic of any place and that this should have been deleted a long time ago, though I have no objection to a list.

The multiple independent reliable sources used in the 26 GAs and FL contradict this unsourced assertion. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:34, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: How would this really a defining trait in any way? ★Trekker (talk) 19:10, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Prominent/heavily is subjective. That it's an important topic is a reason for having an article about it and an article can do things that categories can't - e.g. identify the first film to use a particular CGI technique. DexDor (talk) 10:00, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Current Members of the House of Commons of Canada

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. For the record, over 20 countries (not only the UK) categorise Legislators by term, but it is apparent here that there is no plan to extend this to Canada. – Fayenatic London 21:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per longstanding consensus, we do not use the category system to distinguish "current" from "former" holders of the same job. People are not added to categories where membership is temporary, such that they will have to be pulled back out of the category in the future as soon as they die in office or resign or get defeated in an election -- people are only filed in categories where their membership is not transitory, where once they're in they stay in forever. We use lists such as List of House members of the 43rd Parliament of Canada, and/or templates such as ((Current Members of the Canadian House of Commons)), not categories, to handle their "current" status in temporary matters such as political incumbency. Bearcat (talk) 13:04, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Canada does not categorize its MPs by individual session of Parliament that they happen to have sat in. We categorize our MPs by party and by province, but we use lists, not categories, to handle the sessional memberships. The UK really shouldn't be doing it either, because it defies our rules against overlapping categories and causes category bloat on any MP who serves for more than just one or two terms, but I digress — regardless of whether we want to tackle removing it from UK MPs or not, the fact that the UK has that (bad) practice does not automatically require Canada to do the same. The United States doesn't do it, Australia doesn't do it, and on and so forth, so why should Canada be forced to model ourselves after UK practices instead of other countries' practices? Bearcat (talk) 18:21, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting because this has been sitting for almost three months still unclosed.

Nominator's rationale: Recreations of more categories previously deleted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 February 14#LGBT people by political orientation. Unlike the neo-Nazis below, this has only previously been discussed once -- but like them, it's been long enough since the first discussion that retesting for whether consensus has changed or not is more appropriate than speedying. The fundamental issue remains the same, however: the prior consensus was that the intersection of sexual orientation with political affiliation is not a defining characteristic. LGBT people exhibit the exact same range of political opinions as everybody else, all the way across the political spectrum from "far left" to "far right" and every stop in between, and per WP:CATEGRS, the intersection is not encyclopedic in and of itself. The category system does not exist as a way to create lists of "people who happen to be both X and Y" for just any combination of X and Y that happens to describe two or more people -- we categorize people on their defining characteristics, not just any intersection of two not inherently related traits you can think of.

Category:LGBT neo-Nazis

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. MER-C 17:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Recreation of a category that was deleted on three prior occasions, at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 February 12#Category:Gay Neo-Nazis, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 February 14#LGBT people by political orientation and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 September 27#LGBT neo-Nazis. Those discussions took place long enough ago that I don't feel comfortable just speedying them, and think it's more appropriate to test for whether consensus has changed or not -- but on both of the prior occasions, consensus was that the intersection of sexual orientation with political affiliation was not a defining characteristic. LGBT people exhibit the exact same range of political opinions as everybody else, all the way across the political spectrum from "far left" to "far right" and every stop in between, and per WP:CATEGRS the intersection is not encyclopedic in and of itself: if you cannot write a substantive article about LGBT neo-Nazism as a thing, then there's no value in categorizing people for the trivial intersection of two otherwise unrelated traits, and such an intersection isn't automatically special just because it seems surprising or unexpected. And furthermore, it's also highly prone to being used as a form of attack editing, such as to tendentiously label anybody whose views or statements are perceived as "neo-Nazi" without regard to whether the person actually identifies that way or not (Milo Yiannopoulos, obviously not to defend him or anything, is an example of the kind of person who might be vulnerable to that.) I'm also bundling its parent Category:LGBT right-wingers; although it's never been directly discussed by CFD before, it's subject to the same issues and will be empty if this is deleted as this is its only content.

Nominator's rationale: The only content is Category:Nagorno-Karabakh War films, this seems unnecessary, and misleading, as those films are by no means all fiction. Rathfelder (talk) 14:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: A great number of articles were added to this category that are not WP:Featured pictures on the English Wikipedia. I'd prefer to not do the purging with my main account. Armbrust The Homunculus 14:34, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category creator clarifies on their talk page that this is for "articles which focuses mainly on the different types of features included in a app". Taken literally, this duplicates Category:Software features. Looking at the only article they put here (Pokémon GO Battle League, an additional play mode added to the Pokemon GO game some years after launch), it seems covered by Category:Video game downloadable content or Category:Video game expansion packs. Lord Belbury (talk) 09:43, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If it is how you say, Lord Belbury, why not merge it with Category:Software features?— Preceding unsigned comment added by WellThisIsTheReaper (talk • contribs)
I'm not sure how different a Merge is from a Delete in this case, but the only thing in this recently-created category is one article about extra content for a Pokemon game, which is not a software feature. --Lord Belbury (talk) 15:53, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the article is correct ("a feature in Pokémon GO which allows for competitive, online trainer battles) then it is a software feature, isn't it? Marcocapelle (talk) 16:09, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds more like an expansion pack to me; Category:Software features seems more about the nuts and bolts of user profiles and like buttons. I don't think there's a single clear merge action here: app feature is certainly a synonym for software feature (so redirect it if that's what merging involves), but Pokemon Go Battle is not a type of software feature (so don't move that article to the software features category). --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:35, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
