Category:Games with force feedback support

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) Qwerfjkltalk 07:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A non-defining category for a very common game feature. Additionally, the parent article was deleted by AfD. IceWelder [] 18:21, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This does not affect the category being non-defining, though. See also WP:Defining. IceWelder [] 14:26, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Greek politics

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. The sub-cats for politicians have not been nominated and are therefore not covered by this consensus. – Fayenatic London 14:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:15th century in Greek politics
  • Propose deleting Category:16th century in Greek politics
  • Propose deleting Category:17th century in Greek politics
  • Propose deleting Category:18th century in Greek politics
Nominator's rationale: delete, Greek politics did not exist until 1830 when Greece became independent of the Ottoman Empire. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Association footballers' wives and girlfriends

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 07:22, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is WP:NONDEFINING, as for most of the people in the category, they are not known primarily for being a wife/girlfriend of a footballer, but are notable in their own right. In particular, many of the people in this category are footballers themselves, so being in a relationship with a footballer is not at all unusual or defining. Also, doesn't have a clear inclusion/exclusion criteria, as should it include e.g. ex-wifes and ex-girlfriends, and BLP issues around keeping this up-to-date Joseph2302 (talk) 11:14, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is used in the media to describe a few people, not most of the 200+ people listed in this category, and certainly has never been used for female sportspeople that are in same sex relationships with female footballers. A specific category limited only to people called WAGs in reliable sources would possibly be acceptable, but this categorisation including people who once dated a footballer 5 years ago is not- it's a BLP violation. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:24, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have you actually looked at any of them? I have removed from the category today dozens of women who are notable in their own right, but have been categorised here simply because of who they married/dated once. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:59, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A) yes, I looked at lots, B) whether they are "notable in their own right" is entirely irrelevant to whether they should be in this category. That depends on whether it is "defining" for them - a completely different thing. If you haven't grasped that you shouldn't be doing cfd. C) It is considered extremely bad form to gut categories while a discussion is ongoing. I will have to check your edits - excuse me if I use rollback when they need reverting. Johnbod (talk) 04:09, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A)Then you would have seen plenty who are not known primarily for being a wife/girlfriend of a footballer. Which you said you doubted. B) I understand the difference perfectly, if you read what I say above. C) I started removing these people before someone else raised this discussion. And I take it you didn't find any that needed reverting? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:01, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. The target is being discussed in another discussion linked below. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 07:26, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Funeral directors of Austria to Category:Death care companies
  • Propose merging Category:Funeral directors of Australia to Category:Death care companies
Nominator's rationale: merge, ambiguous category names that may well refer to individuals rather than companies. The categories are not well populated either. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:34, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: soft rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 07:37, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Name it as a WP:topic category rather than a set category, and move the article Effects of war down into it from the parent to be its main article. – Fayenatic London 18:46, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moorish women

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) Qwerfjkltalk 07:39, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose deleting Category:Moorish women
  • Propose deleting Category:Moorish women by century
  • Propose deleting Category:15th-century Moorish women
  • Propose deleting Category:16th-century Moorish women
Nominator's rationale: delete, Moorish is an outdated and ambiguous term. There is no need to merge, the tree contains two articles, one already in Category:Women of the Emirate of Granada, the other already in Category:16th-century Moroccan women.
