Nominator's rationale: There is only one page in the entire category, and even that is a redirect. This category is needless. Delete this. JIP | Talk 12:16, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination, opposed at Speedy page as pasted in box below. The move appears justfied by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite or indefinite article at beginning of name). @ Recruos: please comment. – Fayenatic London 10:27, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: These characters are not from superhero films or film series. Wikipedia does not categorize comic book characters by having appeared in adaptations. It's a non-defining feature of all these characters. ★Trekker ( talk) 10:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: "Psychopathy personality disorder" is not a thing that exists, it is not an existing disorder and the words "Psychopathy" and "Sociopathy" are not even used in psycology and never really has. There's also the issue that this category is just filled up with articles of "super eviiiiiil" characters, not characters that have actually been diagnosed with a disorder. It's completly non-defining. ★Trekker ( talk) 09:55, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply
Addition These issues concerns its parent category Category:Psychopathy in fiction and sibling categories Category:Films about psychopaths‎ and Category:Novels about sociopathy‎ to come extent as well. ★Trekker ( talk) 10:03, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Support these dual upmerges, per nom. By why do two of the targets have inconsistent names? We know that "First Nations" is the preferred term in Canada, so "Indian reserves in Quebec" should probably be speedily CfRed.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  08:09, 2 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: These sites dont seem sufficiently different from all the others to merit a separate category. Social discovery shades off into dating, marketing, hospitality etc, Rathfelder ( talk) 07:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Upmerge per nom and Marcocapelle. This appears to have been misleading and verging on OR. (Categorization by personal misunderstanding of a website's operation and audience? I dunno.) —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  08:07, 2 November 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Propose deleting the following categories, all of which simply contain a player category and one key article. None of them are likely to expand beyond that level. The player categories can stay, but the club articles are unnecessary. Grutness... wha? 02:50, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 08:31, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose - all 4 categories have now been expanded with additional articles and sub-categories. Nomination rationale no longer stands. @ Marcocapelle: might wish to reconsider. Giant Snowman 08:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
    • They're still too small - two articles (one, in one case) plus a file isn't really enough to sustain these categories. Grutness... wha? 10:30, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply
      • Remember when you said "None of them are likely to expand beyond that level" and I added more articles, categories amd images? It's absolutely standrad to have a 'parent' categpry for a football club, see eg Category:Football clubs in England by county and related. Giant Snowman 10:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply
        • If you can expand them to more than a couple of articles and a category, then fine. I checked the A-D section of the category tree you pointed out; of the 114 club categories in that selection, only five are of the same sort of level as the categories I've nominated, and only one ( Category:Darlington 1883) is smaller than Category:Wellington Olympic AFC. In the case of Category:Wanderers Special Club we're talking about a defunct Under-20s development team which only existed for five years. I have no objection to football club categories if there's a point, but when they're that sort of size there really isn't. The file and stadium article (where there is one) are already lined in the key article, and the players category can easily be linked that way too. Where there is also a viable managers category, that's fine (and I've withdrawn those to nominations), but the remaining categories are still irredeemably small. Grutness... wha? 03:36, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom (including nom's later rebuttals of opposition, above). This is basically a WP:CONLEVEL matter. While the wikiproject might like to create pointless near-empty categories for every team in existence, the site-wide consensus against doing things like this trumps the one-topic in-crowd preference.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  08:05, 2 November 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: According to the Terms of Use, all edits are automatically dual-licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL. While editors do have the option of further multi-licensing their edits, it should go without saying (and, therefore, it is unnecessary to specify) that these multi-licensed contributions are also (dual-)licensed according to the Terms of Use. Honestly, I struggle to see the utility of this entire category scheme; however, for now I am just proposing to clean up these unnecessary splits. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 18:15, 19 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: This category is not about tango in Argentina. It is about the specific style of music and dance universally known as " Argentine tango". Someone may be surprised, but Ballroom tango is danced in Argentina as well, they even hold international ballroom competitions. Staszek Lem ( talk) 19:56, 20 October 2019 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: proposed category renaming to follow its main article which was renamed to Sierra Pelona Ridge, the name it should have originally used as supported by its USGS GNIS source: U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Sierra Pelona Ridge.
