Category:Problem solving television series
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.
Nominator's rationale: "Problem solving" is an extremely vague way of describing a television series and inclusion criteria are unclear as "problem solving" tends not to be used to describe shows in reliable sources. The current entries seem to be a fairly random selection of shows and in my opinion none of them have "problem solving" as a defining characteristic of the show. I think shows would be better categorised using other categories.

Nominator's rationale: These are trivial intersections of ethnicity and profession. Diplomats represent nation-states, not ethnic groups.

The above is an unfair, rude, and uncalled for personal attack. I did not create any of the sub-cats here. Mr. Simpson should cease and desist from his rudeness, and failure to assume good faith.

Merge/Delete per nom. I find the attack on me for properly placing categories in an appropriate parent category uncalled for and unjustified. It is rude attacks like Mr. Simpson has perpetrated on people who try to rationally build categories in a connected way that undermines our ability to have civil discussions.

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

Nominator's rationale: Per
this discussion, the current name of the category implies that the cat contains articles about leaks, rather than video games that have been leaked. I'm also not opposed to deleting this category if that's where consensus goes, but I'm not as familiar with those guidelines so I won't speak to that.

Merge for Now These places had more than five mayors but most would not be notable. No objection to recreating any if they exceed expectations and ever get to 5+ articles. -

Nominator's rationale: Unlike the singular "god", the plural "gods" clearly refers to the non-monotheistic deities. Similarly, the parent category is "gods". Therefore, it doesn't need the disambiguation like the main article would. ZXCVBNM (

Nominator's rationale: Delete per
WP:OCEGRS. Unless it's a gendered occupation, which there is a separate category for, these cross-categorizations are not notable. I.E., there is nothing special about a male detective that makes it necessary to have an X+Y category instead of being in both category X and category Y. Any subcategories should be merged into the relevant non-gendered parent category. ZXCVBNM (

Procedural oppose, we need to discuss the subcategories either all in conjunction with the two top categories (with the risk of a trainwreck), or in multiple smaller nominations before we finally discuss the two top categories. Deleting the top categories before we delete the subcategories does not make any sense.

I have been told once that fictional categories use "male" and "female" rather than "men" and "women" because some fictional characters are anthropomorphic rather than human. This is just for info, I do not actually oppose the rename.

Comment OCEGRS means we do not put individuals directly in categories that say men or women, only in categories that have an overlap of occupation (broadly defined) with sex. This is why
Category:American women is supposed to be a container category. I am not sure if OCEGRS applies totally to articles on fictional beings. However since these or just contained categories, they do not violate OCEGRS rules.
