The result of the discussion was merge. Crowsus (talk) 09:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization across multiple categories. We should delete this, all are solely populated by Rudi Gutendorf Pbritti (talk) 22:11, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Crowsus: you misunderstand the purpose of categories, specifically nationality categories. Categories are for navigation, not "extended attribute" tagging. "By nationality" is used where a category needs to be divided because it is too large. Moreover, "world record holder for international coaching appointments" is not a thing.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 18:24, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But that doesn't aid navigation. If someone wants to find 'that German guy who was the Ghana football manager in the 70s', well it was defined in a category, but that was deleted because it was only two guys meeting the criteria and not ten different ones which apparently would make it OK.

So you didn't instruct the bot to upmerge these as appropriate, just delete them? What a fantastic navigation aid. The consensus was clearly MERGE but it looks like I'll have to do it. Crowsus (talk) 09:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Crowsus, the sole article was Rudi Gutendorf. You can add any categories to that as you feel necessary. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:14, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I stated above, the Japan category had three members by the time it was deleted. I have fixed them now. Crowsus (talk) 01:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT and no significant potential for growth, no apparent branch of Category:Events that this would belong and therefore merge to. - car chasm (talk) 20:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:46, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Metaphilosophy is a field of study from the modern era, and while we often project our definition of philosophical subfields onto ancient philosophers, per the IEP essentially all ancient Greek philosophers (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and all of the cynics, stoics, skeptics, and epicureans are specifically mentioned in the article) were "metaphilosophers" so this is not WP:DEFINING - car chasm (talk) 19:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is not a WP:DEFINING term, virtually anyone in history who has ever made a comment about any aspect of culture could be considered a "cultural critic" - car chasm (talk) 19:32, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Second recreation 11 December 2022 after original Speedy deletion on 23 August 2022. First re-created and deleted a second time on 25 August 2022. See user's talk page regarding the 23 and 25 August deletion notices. AldezD (talk) 19:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films based on the Jason-Medea myth

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 20:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "The Jason-Medea myth" is an unclear descriptor and doesn't appear to be in common usage even in scholarly sources. After restructuring the categories, all but one of the films focusing on Jason and Medea are in the subcat Category:Films based on Medea (Euripides play)‎. Everything can be upmerged. MClay1 (talk) 14:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Yarmouth is a small town and this category has only two entries. User:Namiba 18:08, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by a mixture of performer by venue and by association. Bearcat (talk) 03:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This sounds rather arbitrary. Few people in this category spent large part of their life with the BBC. Listification would then be a better solution. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:03, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Football at the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games

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. Empty. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:48, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT with no imminent prospects of expansion. A couple of previous iterations of the Central American and Caribbean Games do have similar categories, but they have several articles filed in them -- namely, the equivalent head article and separate spinoff articles for the men's and women's tournaments. So no prejudice against recreation later in the year if and when spinoff articles actually exist, but this isn't already needed yet if only one article exists to be filed in it.

The result of the discussion was: split. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:50, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category, originally titled Category:Sweeteners, was renamed by CFDS to Category:Sugar substitutes in 2015, tagged by User:Erpert. I'm not digging into the the history, but I assume that the reason was C2D, given that at that time Sweetener redirected to Sugar substitute. However, this was a mistake, as the contents of this category do not match the scope of the article, as a lot of sugar-containing sweeteners are included in the category as well. In 2018 User:Bodhi Peace suggested splitting the category into Category:Sugar substitutes and Category:Sweeteners for the same reasons. This was opposed mainly by User:Marcocapelle with the reason, "If there is a need for a fix it should be implemented in article space first," and closed as no consensus. Since then, Sweetener was converted into a disambiguation page following a 2021 RfD, then converted into a stubbish overview list article. The original reasons for renaming the category to Sugar substitutes and for opposition to moving it back no longer apply. Thus at the very least, the 2015 CFDS move should be reverted and the category renamed back to Category:Sweeteners. The option to split the category per Bodhi Peace's previous proposal should also remain open, though I'm not proposing it at this time as I'm not prepared to do the work.

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 20:49, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT for just one player on a varsity-level football team. As always, team player categories are not automatically warranted the moment a sports team has had one former player for it go on to attain notability for other reasons -- this would be fine if there were five or six, or a few dozen or hundred, players to file here, but is not needed for just one person.

Nominator's rationale: After three AfDs (1, 2, 3), the category is now empty. Therefore, it should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 11:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Almost G11 (Promotional) but ambiguous enough to warrant a CFD. Anyways, I don't find any use for it that are already covered by other Rajasthan categories. The cat's creator was adding their website link to a few articles. As of writing this CfD, they have stopped adding their website link after a couple of warnings. --Lenticel (talk) 03:23, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
