Delete, this covers grey area that can better be dealt with in a list (in which details can be elaborated), not so much in a category which only offers inclusion or exclusion. For example
Curaçao is that a non-sovereign country or a dependent territory? There is no definite answer to that question.

Delete and do not merge. Dependent territory has some definition, even if it gets really fuzzy at its edges. Non-sovereign countries is simply vague, and not remotely a defining characteristic (
WP:CATDEF).

Delete and do not merge despite the creator's claim, there is no clear definition of the contents of this. The phrase being referred to is presumably recognised as countries but do not hold supreme sovereignty, but the phrase recognised as countries is meaningful only if "country" means
sovereign state, and that's explicitly ruled out by the second half of the definition. The definition of a dependent territory, as CMD says, gets fuzzy around the edges, but in most cases it is clear whether an entity meets the definition or not. And several of the entities in this category are clearly not dependent territories. Kahastoktalk07:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)reply
Thank you, I was looking in North America only. I wonder now if the qualification of dependent territory isn't equally subjective as non-sovereign country.

Keep -- Moors is the name used for the Arab-Berber "white" population (also known as Bidhane in the local Hassaniya Arabic dialect). Although it's more common in French, it's not rare to see it in English productions about the country. I think that keeping it does no harm :)

Comment that isn't correct.
Pavonis Mons isn't an astronomical object, but it is an astronomical location located on the astronomical object called Mars. There is fiction written about this location. Similary, we should not narow the scope of these categories, since there are fiction set at a specific location, and not across many locations on a celestial body. We seem to be missing a category heirarchy for space locations (ie.
Tranquility Base,
Wright Brothers Field,
Category:Surface features of bodies of the Solar System ) which might have astronmical objects as a subcategory. --

We would be narrowing the scope of the category tree by excluding any articles on fiction about astronomical locations that are not celestial bodies. Arthur C. Clarke's "The Sentinel" is set in Tycho Crater, and not the entire Moon. There are stories already out there written about specific extraterrestrial locations that are not just a generic setting on a celestial body or several parts of one, but about a specific place. Similarly there is a lot more fiction about non-terrestrial locations which are fictional that don't cover entire selestial bodies or several parts of one. The first category in this nomination is about fiction about locations, which would deal with real places. The second category in this nomination is about fictional ones, such as found in many a short story in the standard scifi pulp magazines (ie. Asimov's, Analog). Though instead of "astronomical" perhaps it should use "space", because of the fictional aspect --

Nominator's rationale: Precision, NPOV, and naming consistency per
WP:CATNAME. 'Fined' is ambiguous and inaccurate as these are civil, not criminal penalties, and 'fine' is more generally used for criminal penalties in the UK, and 'fine' is not used in the article - it is always 'fixed penalty notice'. 'Scandal' is subjective. Other similar categories use 'Recipients of something' rather than 'People who had something done to them'. --

Keep and rename as proposed. I'm amazed anyone who follows British politics at all can regard this as non-defining. Do any of those calling it non-defining in fact live in the UK or follow things here? There are over 100 people potentially in this, but most are a) so far not notable, and b) it is so far unknown who received many of the penalties. The category will probably expand, and this will follow recipients for the rest of their careers.

I am not as convinced that the category will expand, or that this will follow recipients for the rest of their careers. In any case these are matters of crystal balling.

Category:People fined for Partygate affair might do. The full explanation can go in a headnote. I am not wholly clear, but the penalty notices were issued by the police and appeal would be to the magistrates court, not the county court or a tribunal. This is much what happens with minor motoring offences. Yes, they are technically not treated as criminal convictions, but I do not think they have been decriminalised in the way that parking enforcement has been.

Delete SMALLCAT:
Partygate has been a big political issue in UK, ultimately ending in the resignation of the Johnson government. However, the names of the offenders (mostly civil servants) have not been publicly named. Thus we have only four names in the category. The article mentions one more person who has no article but 126 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued to 83 people. So, there are 78 people who might be in the category, but whose names have not been published. There is thus no prospect of the category being properly populated. The known FPN recipients are all named in the article. I am thus concluding that this is not something useful to have as a category, unless a full list of FPN recipients is published, which is unlikely.

@
R'n'B: did you intend some distinction by renaming those subcats as "set index articles" rather than "set indices" like the higher categories? If not, they could be added here and renamed again. –
FayenaticLondon16:12, 10 September 2022 (UTC)reply
I did not intend any distinction. Either form appears correct to me; "set index articles" is perhaps more accessible to the casual reader, but "indices" works too. --

Support, while I am certainly not an expert in Ukrainian nomenclature, I note that there are very few "towns in Ukraine" categories, so I am supporting this if only for consistency.

While I would ultimately not be against that either, this has been implemented in hardly any (other) country. Presumably a mass nom would be required to achieve that.
