- Nominator's rationale: Delete We have consistently found, most recently at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 June 3#Category:Time 100, that these categories based on published lists are WP:NOTDEFINING to the people categorized in them. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 14:20, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:41, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep not based on nom. I'm not sure what this means - but this list is in a different class to "40 under 40" and other clickbait titles. The unveiling of this list attracts such invitees as Women in Red who devote edit time to sorting out the notable in the list from the (few) ephemeral. The BBC is reliable and it doesnt publish oodles of lists - I would define someone as "she was on the BBC 100 women list" and you will see this mentioned in articles and on wiki. Have a look at the edit histories of these women. Their articles are created because they are "defined" by this list. Victuallers ( talk) 14:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep The category usefully defines the subject as a recipient of a BBC100 listing. Great use is made of the category by those on WP who care for women biographies. The purpose of categories is to serve use cases & we should prioritise that over a fetish about the subjective notion of "non-defining". -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 15:17, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Definingness is not a fetish, it is the primary criterion for the existence of categories. Besides for maintenance purposes there are already lists at 100 Women (BBC). Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:34, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete -- This is essentially a list of people featured in a BBC broadcast programme series. Possibly listify, but the main article is largely a list. The people were probably selected by BBC as notable. They did not become notable by being featured. Not exactly a performance category but not too dissimilar.

- Delete per nom, which is consistent with WP:OCAWARD and WP:OCLIST. Surely there are better ways to improve equal representation on Wikipedia than to keep non-defining categories about appearances in a media series that feature 100 people every year. JBchrch talk 20:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per Tagishsimon Gamaliel ( talk) 04:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CATDEF. If it was defining for the subject, then it should be mentioned in the lead of the article. Looking at several at random: Eleni Antoniadou mentioned briefly in the career sub-section, Chipo Chung not mentioned anywhere, Alicia Garza mentioned pretty near to the end of her bio, Scarlett Curtis no mention, Nadia Comăneci no mention, Lucy Finch at the end of her bio, Jane Fonda right at the end of the article in the very last bit of awards & honours, Gurinder Chadha no mention. Those were literally the first ones I checked, and at best the info is a brief mention buried deep in the article. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TOPTEN. What makes this list especially relevant to most of its recipients? It seems to have a very large amount of entries every year, and the criteria isn't mentioned anywhere. And it is clearly not as famous as the Fortune 500 and Time 100, whose categories have been similarly deleted. Nohomersryan ( talk) 02:44, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I share the opinions of both Tagishsimon and Victuallers but would also point out that these mainly young enterprising individuals are selected for the impact they have made, often in countries which receive little attention. I am not aware of any TV programmes but can confirm that most, if not all, have been featured on radio broadcasts of the BBC World Service, in addition to fairly detailed background on the BBC's website. The category appears to me to have much in common with the many categories we have in relation to awards.-- Ipigott ( talk) 14:22, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep the BBC is a highly regarded broadcasting organisation, and its 100 Women list is drawn from women who have been in the news across the World Service for their roles in society,
please see: "...candidates who had made the headlines or influenced important stories over the past 12 months, as well as those who have inspiring stories to tell, achieved something significant or influenced their societies in ways that wouldn't necessarily make the news." So to answer the question about commonality, it is that the recipients of the listing are all women who have influenced societal issues in their countries of origin, and subsequently have had measurable impact around the world.
This article mentions the importance of 100 Women to the representation of women on Wikipedia.

- Your argument, is not about the notability of the members of the cat, but the claim, and by all those supporting keep, that there should be a category scheme, "People mentioned by broadcaster." Because that is what you are supporting. How about Presidents mentioned on Fox News? Or musicians mentioned on MTV? Cartoon characters on Disney Channel? Because voting! keep here makes that a possibility with WP:CATDEF being totally ignored. Richhoncho ( talk) 16:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. There is nothing differentiating this category from the Category:The X Factor (British TV series) contestants and their ilk here on enwp if we are going down "this is nothing but a whole list of people who appeared on a BBC programme", etc. route. The main article should be imo broken down by year and individual articles created for each one as that would allow us to go more in depth as to why these people were chosen and make it more consistent with other award articles. - Yupik ( talk) 21:24, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFF: if you think that Category:The X Factor (British TV series) is in the same situation then feel free to nominate that category for deletion too. It is not a reason to not delete Category:BBC 100 Women. Marcocapelle ( talk) 04:47, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The entries already exist in a list, so why have a WP:TOPTEN-skirting category that isn't defining? Why this list and not the far more famous Time 100 or Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women or any other ranking of people whose only unifying characteristic is "being chosen for a "top people" list in [year]"? And why not turn it into a projectspace category if it's really needed for article creation, like we do for edit-a-thons? Also, in the list page, how does reproducing the list for each year not constitute a copyright violation? Revisions reproducing the Time 100 list were revdeled and a restriction to including only the top 10 was imposed. This is an identical situation to the list article.

- Nominator's rationale: I think this category needs to be "Disney Channel-related lists," as the network has its established brand distinct from other Disney units (similar to Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network). It seems redundant to "Lists of Disney Channel television series episodes" and "Television series by Disney." Most shows listed fall within Disney Branded Television (formerly Disney Channels Worldwide) either way.

- Procedural comment, this nomination was added the 23rd of July rather than the 20th. Marcocapelle ( talk) 05:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Not all of it seems to be Disney Channel-related. There is also e.g. List of Disney XD TV channels. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:05, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: This is part comment, part opposition, but not only does it not specifically only cover Disney Channel but this user appears to have added non-episode-related pages (like the aforementioned Disney XD one) to the category in an attempt to change its scope before requesting this change. (The following is more comment than explanation of opposition.) They tried to speedy rename this and a few other categories a few times (without creating an entry or explaining why, so the only way people could easily oppose it was to revert the incomplete speedy edit) before doing an incomplete attempt at full discussion on several pages (only placing the template, not creating the discussion, similar to the issue with the speedies) before finally getting the hang of it and making this CFD discussion. I have a hypothesis that all the dating is off from when it was actually posted here because perhaps they posted about it somewhere else and are copying that explanation of their reasoning? - Purplewowies ( talk) 22:24, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: To me this appears to represent a scope change, and I'm not aware that there was any discussion with any WikiProjects that might have a stake in this kind of change. As Purple noted above, this editor has made other dubious category-related edits that make me concerned that they don't have a good understanding of how categorization works, and as such, I can't support their efforts to change categories without any indication that they're speaking from an informed position. If and when editors with experience working on Disney-related articles come forward supporting this change, I'll reconsider my position, but at this time I feel Mega needs to focus more on collaborating with their fellow editors rather than striking out on their own in this manner.

08:16, 30 July 2022 (UTC) - Support: The
Elizabeth line is the name by which the service is known and is more likely the name people will use when searching for information. Its operator will be considered by many people to be TfL, even though it's not. This complexity means it can be considered similar to
London Overground, which has its
own category, despite not being
the company operating its services.

- Comment: The messiness here may be something to do with having operating company as the only way of categorising stations. Categorising them by "service" or "brand" or something similar alongside operating company could be a helpful improvement. The two may well coincide (e.g. GWR), and either be separate categories or coexistant in a renamed category (such as Railway stations in Great Britain by train operating company and service name). Thus Paddington would appear in Category:Railway stations served by the Elizabeth line, Category:Railway stations served by Heathrow Express, Category:Railway stations served by Great Western Railway, Category:Railway stations served by MTR Crossrail.

- Keep LouisAragon The Nakhchivan-Maraga school of architecture was created in the era of Eldiguzids. And at that time, Nakhchivan and Maraga were part of the same state. Of course, it is normal that such an architecture exists in these regions. It's just the name of an architectural school. No territorial claims. In Iranian architecture, the Arg of Tabriz, Dome of Soltaniyeh and Red tomb located in Maragha belong to the Azerbaijani architecture. Iranian researchers also confirm this. -- Rəcəb Yaxşı ( talk) 06:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- There's not a single
WP:RS out there which defines and demarcates a "Nakhchivan-Maragha school of architecture", hence this category does not belong on Wikipedia.
- "It's just the name of an architectural school. No territorial claims. In Iranian architecture, the Arg of Tabriz, Dome of Soltaniyeh and Red tomb located in Maragha belong to the Azerbaijani architecture."
- Regardless of whether some local architects from modern Iran defined this as "Azari" or "Azarbayjani" or not (referring to Iran's own
Azerbaijan region), you know very well that when you feed this category in
Category:Architectural schools of Azerbaijan (which in turn feeds into
Category:Architecture of Azerbaijan), the intention is to connect it to the post-Soviet
Republic of Azerbaijan (the territory of which
was not known as Azerbaijan at the time) and to detach it from Iran. Its like calling
Byzantine architecture in North Macedonia "North Macedonian architecture". Thanks for confirming my earlier concerns about negationism though. -

Similarly, why would most killings be filmed? Many people would be busy killing or trying to avoid being killed, to participate in filming their own incidents. Most serial killers certainly don't seem to film their kills. As for third party filming, where are the cameras in the middle of the jungle? There's no evidence that the Murdaugh murders were filmed and they were recent and high profile. -- 64.229.88.43 ( talk) 04:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I usually prefer Wikipedia's death-related categories, when it comes to cause of death and place of burial. But whether a death was recorded on camera or not is typically no more than a trivial aspect of the relevant article. We live in the era of closed-circuit television, and recordings of deaths and violence have become commonplace. But the recording often has no impact on the event or its consequences.

- Delete per WP:CATDEF, I am trying to find a reason why, for example, the filming of the shooting of JFK, was defining of that event. -- Richhoncho ( talk) 08:13, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. The fact that an incident happened to be captured on film doesn't define the incident differently than a virtually identical incident that failed to be captured on film. The category system does not exist as a way to create lists of every possible criterion you can think of that describes two or more topics — we categorize topics by their defining characteristics, and not by what's fundamentally just WP:TRIVIA. Bearcat ( talk) 14:58, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The whole point of the category system is to be able to find things, not an ivory-tower exercise of no particular point, a self-licking ice cream cone type deal. 'Filmed deaths in motorsport' is somewhat ghoulish, and un-worthy for that reason.. but: does it have a use? I came here because I was looking for a racing driver killed driving, whose name I couldn't remember - and ran across this debate while so doing. I wasn't being a ghoul, I was looking for something - and that category was helping.

- Comment I would dispute that "most" modern incidents are filmed. I would say that most are not filmed at all. Whether the bodycam is off or malfunctioning, or there is no bodycam, or the interrogation room filming is turned off, or it happens in an unmonitored van, it is many times not filmed at all. If there is no third party, the first party frequently is unable to film it. -- 64.229.88.43 ( talk) 04:51, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Non-defining trait. The listed definition also disagrees with
Sequel, which states 20 years, not 10. This also appears to be a film specific term, but the category is full of video games and comics as well, industries that do not, to my knowledge, ever use the term. --

- Keep- The listed definition can easily be fixed, I believe it is
WP:DEFINING, and even if other industries do not use the term, the term still makes sense when applied (also there are plenty of film entries anyway). Also,
Sequel needs more non-film examples anyway.

- You believe this is something commonly and consistently used in reference to these topics? I don't believe that's the case even for the films. A quick review found none of them to mention the term in their prose. Very defining. -- ferret ( talk) 21:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per
WP:ARBITRARYCAT. Regardless of whether 10, 15, or 20 years is picked, it's an arbitrary divide. Per suggestion at arbitrary cat rule, if there's a desire to represent this information, make a list article like "List of film sequels by time since previous entry" that can show that
Tron Legacy came out 28 years after Tron and the like. (Canvassing disclaimer: knew about this due to a mention on Discord - as did the above vote, I suspect.)

- @ Americanfreedom: I'm sure it was made in good faith, just I'm not sure a category is the right approach here - if notable sources describe it as such, great, but that can be normal article content rather than categories. Maybe, per my above comment, using the current entries to start a List of sequels by time since previous entry, and tag it with "incomplete list"? Then make List of legacy sequels redirect to that new article. SnowFire ( talk) 02:24, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
