Nominator's rationale: Category with only two articles. One the main topic, and the other a list. Now that is just redundant. Articles are also already located in "Penny Arcade (webcomic)" QuantumFoam66 ( talk) 23:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:12th-century historians of the medieval Islamic world. There is a lot going on here, and to be honest I am not sure why this was relisted three times. I think that the first relist was good, but there was consensus afterwards the second week for a regular-direction merge. I will trout Self-trout myself for not tagging Category:12th-century historians of the medieval Islamic world. Anyways, with that paperwork out of the way: there is clear consensus that the category should not exist, and after six weeks it is time for this WP:BARTENDER to make a decision. Merging as proposed seems the best outcome as it has both majority support and is the easiest for further refinement in a subsequent nomination of Category:12th-century historians of the medieval Islamic world. House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 01:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Category:Former Premier League clubs

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.
The result of the discussion was: keep and populate. House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 05:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Currently empty but, until just now, it had only Leeds United in it. A total of 51 clubs have played in the Premier League and all except Leeds were in Category:Premier League clubs. Has someone been having a laugh? If the PLC category is meant to hold all 51 clubs, then FPLC is redundant. On the other hand, keeping FPLC will mean seasonal updates in both categories which no one will want to do. PearlyGigs ( talk) 06:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • There seems to be no set purpose for the Category:Association football clubs by former league and its subcats. Are we talking about defunct clubs, or about clubs that have gone upwards from an amateur league to a professional one, or about all promotions/relegations. Take Category:Former Highland Football League teams for example. This includes Aberdeen, whose first team never played in the league, although one of their reserve teams did. Then there are four other clubs currently in the SPFL, three former clubs which became entities of Caley Thistle, and three fully defunct clubs. What exactly is the scope of that category?
  • As for the FPLC category, it is obviously not being maintained and I doubt if it ever will be. I'd have thought that the scope of Category:Premier League clubs is clubs whose teams have played in the PL, even if for only one season back in the 1990s. Similarly, I would expect to find the likes of Cove Rangers in Category:Highland Football League teams, as well as in the SPFL category.
  • We have to remember that categories provide essential navigation for the readers and so their scope and purpose must be certain. The use of "former" in a category title is bound to confuse and mislead. Does it mean "defunct" (like Wimbledon), does it mean "once upon a time" (like Oldham), or does it mean "not at the moment" (like Leeds). PearlyGigs ( talk) 14:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC) reply
  • It's an excellent point by Perspicax and I admit it didn't occur to me. I agree the proposed discussion is unnecessary within the context of this nomination. The question is whether relegated members of the PL, many of whom will eventually regain promotion, should be categorised as "former" or should be categorised as having played in the league. Remember that when I found Category:Former Premier League clubs, it contained Leeds only, so it was obviously not being maintained. Teterev53 did a partial population after this nomination was raised. PearlyGigs ( talk) 08:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Category:Blind sports people

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Blind sports. House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 01:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Delete; I think the two categories are unrelated and all of the sportspeople with vision issues are in the second category. If kept then rename to " Category:Blind sportspeople" since there isn't a gap between "sports" and "people". Omnis Scientia ( talk) 17:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge back, then rename. House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 01:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The Revolutionary Communist International already had a category under their old name and instead of moving it their current name, a new category was created instead. I believe this was a mistake because the new category doesn't have the old one's revision history. Charles Essie ( talk) 16:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. I would have expected this to be an extension of a main article called Dark music, which could provide some substance and, per nomination, actually define the concept. We could do with knowing the origin of the term, which might help. PearlyGigs ( talk) 21:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: delete House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 05:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: delete, the category suggests that it is about the island of Great Britain (as it also contains the early 18th-century years in England and Scotland) but there aren't any sibling categories for the island, so this is merely confusing in relationship to the Kingdom of England (see below).

Nominator's rationale: rename per actual content, this category contains the period starting in 1707, and per parent Category:Kingdom of Great Britain, and to make a clearer distinction versus Category:Years of the 18th century in Great Britain which also covers the earlier years in England and Scotland if we need that category at all.

The result of the discussion was: merge the first to Category:Time, date and calendar templates, delete the second, merge the third to Category:WikiProject Years, and rename the fourth as nominated. plicit 12:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I recently WP:BOLDMOVEd {{ YearParamUsageCheck}} to {{ year parameter usage check}} per WP:TPN. Part of this is cleanup from that move, but some is cleanup for other reasons. Category:YearParamUsageCheck templates is unhelpful, because it only contains two templates (note that {{ year parameter usage check}} and {{ year parameter usage check/core}} are two parts of the same template). Interlinking in the see also is sufficient; the category can be merged to Category:Category header templates. Category:Templates using YearParamUsageCheck can be deleted – it only contains one template – {{ year by category}} – plus its documentation and sandbox. Category:YearParamUsageCheck tracking categories‎ should be renamed to Category:Year parameter usage check tracking categories‎ to match the template's name. Finally, Category:Wikipedia YearParamUsageCheck can then be deleted, as it will only contain the newly-renamed Category:Year parameter usage check tracking categories‎.
