Ultimately I would support this, but I think it is too early now, since there are still so many categories by town or city around in lower levels.

Comment. This rename would facilitate renaming the child categories in the lower levels, as the reasoning still applies. Several of the child categories are being speedied over the next day or so.

Nominator's rationale:merge, a single-article category is not helpful for navigation. This is without prejudice to recreation of the category when a handful articles can be added.

Nominator's rationale: It is better to use regional container people categories such as Middle Eastern people or North African people. Per
WP:CATDEF and
WP:EGRS it is better to use ethnic categories only for people who identify with an ethnicity and are consistently defined as Arabs by reliable sources.

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT newly created for just one person. As always, every university does not automatically get one of these the moment one alumnus of that university has an article to file it in; there would have to be at least five alumni to file in it before a category for them was warranted, and navigation of Wikipedia is not assisted by creating thousands and thousands of one-person microcategories.

All things considered, this is "just" a redirect. Can't we acknowledge that nothing currently fits in
Category:Fictional Qatari people, move on and leave good-faith editors place redirects in the most appropriate eligible categories per
WP:RCAT? If you ask me, this belongs in
Category:Sports mascots and nowhere else. Mascots aren't really fictional characters, they don't really have a story to them and are more akin to a logotype.

Question: Can you please explain why
WP:NONDEF applies here? To me, none of the Definingness test bullets seem to apply to this category. Sorry if I'm missing the obvious; I'm not a regular on CFD. ◅
Sebastian Helm🗨12:54, 16 November 2023 (UTC)reply
There is general consensus that "so and so in fiction" allows anything to be included as long as it has a trivial mention of that thing. Thus, they have built up tons of unrelated articles.
There's a broad overall trend of any "in fiction" categories being moved, because "about X" is much more clear on what they should contain.

Thanks. Reducing trivia cruft is a goal I support. One might question whether this naming pattern is really the best possible fix; I prefer the main topic to come first, and only later the “in fiction”. But this is not the place to discuss this, and I trust you that there's general consensus to name such cats "Fiction about ...". If that is so, please add that to
WP:NONDEF, ideally with the rationale you just gave, so others understand what you mean when you refer to it. You might also want to mention the analogy to
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trivia sections. ◅

Merge Per
WP:NARROWCAT. As the guideline says, "if an article is in category "A" and in category "B" - a category A and B does not necessarily need to be created for this article". This is clear category clutter.

Nominator's rationale: This category largely appears to refer to social media as a modern or sci-fi concept rather than people's reputations in general. I suggest merging per

Split per nom. Geography is definitely easier to understand for users searching for an article, and far less likely to be controversial, fuzzy, or frequently needing to be changed whenever someone publishes a new hypothesis.--
