• Propose deleting Category:Horrid Henry characters ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: The only article in the category is already present in Category:Horrid Henry, and is not centric on the character themselves.

Nominator's rationale: merge, in this period this is a redundant category layer with only occasional articles next to the religious buildings subcategory. The articles need to be moved manually because some of them are already in e.g. a fortifications by century subcategory or in an establishments by year subcategory.

• Propose renaming Category:Old style serif typefaces to Category:Venetian serif typefaces and removing any articles that are already in both Category:Transitional serif typefaces and Category:Old style serif typefaces from the Category:Old style serif typefaces (as it's redundant).

Nominator's Rationale: In Vox-ATypI classification#Classicals, Old style serif typefaces can be categorized into 3 subclasses. All of these 3 subclasses has their own categories in French Wikipedia. However, only 2 out of 3 of those French Wikipedia categories has a corresponding category in English Wikipedia:

1. Venetian ( fr:Catégorie:Police d'écriture humane, currently corresponding to Category:Old style serif typefaces)
2. Garalde ( fr:Catégorie:Police d'écriture garalde, currently corresponding to newly-created Category:Garalde serif typefaces)
3. Transitional ( fr:Catégorie:Police d'écriture réale, currently corresponding to Category:Transitional serif typefaces)

I suggest that the Category:Old style serif typefaces be renamed to Category:Venetian serif typefaces. Also, I proposes that any articles that are already in both Category:Transitional serif typefaces and Category:Old style serif typefaces be removed from the Category:Old style serif typefaces (as it's redundant).

• @ Blythwood: given your earlier contributions noted on the talk page, can you comment on this, please? I am not familiar with the topic, but I think your comment there implies that the nomination is correct. – Fayenatic London 11:38, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

  Keep – thanks for pinging me. Garalde and Venetian are sub-genres of old-style types, but they aren't all-encompassing. Designs like Trinité or Arno may not neatly fit into either genre (something the specimen comments on, see page 6). So I think "Old style serif typefaces" is worth retaining as a main category with Garalde and Venetian as subcategories. Blythwood ( talk) 15:48, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

  If we're keeping both Garalde and Venetian categories as subcategories of old-style serif typefaces, then I suggest that Category:Transitional serif typefaces be another subcategory of old-style serif typefaces as well. Jothefiredragon🐲 talk🐉 edits 17:12, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• There appears to be a consensus to split Category:Old style serif typefaces to new subcat Category:Venetian serif typefaces. @ Blythwood, do you concur with Jothefiredragon's moving Transitional under Old style? – Fayenatic London 17:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  Hi, thanks for the ping. I wouldn't make that move because transitional types are (as the name suggests) in between old-style and Didone designs, they're a genre by themself; see the serif article for how it explains this.

• Propose renaming Category:History of Malaysia since Independence to Category:Contemporary history of Malaysia

Nominator's rationale: rename per parent Category:Contemporary history by country that I just added. Else at least change "Independence" to "independence". Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Spelling change - what might seem contemporary in some contexts may not be understood clearly as to the specific starting point is actually contemporary or not JarrahTree 08:38, 15 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Rename to Category:History of Malaysia (1957–present). That matches most other categories in Category:Contemporary history by country. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 16:01, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• @ LaundryPizza03: we already have Category:History of Malaysia (1945–1963) so it is probably better to rename the nominated category to Category:History of Malaysia (1963–present). I do not have objections to this format. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply

  This is a weirdly empty category (perhaps a wider look is needed at this whole tree), but 1963 is an easier date to start from given Category:History of Malaya would apply until that date. CMD ( talk) 02:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Looking at both the Indonesian and Malaysian history timelines and the organisation of the periods of time, the suggested name with date-present is ok. JarrahTree 08:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Rename to Category:History of Malaysia (1963–present), like most others within Category:Contemporary history by country. Alternatively, Category:History of Malaysia since 1963 has at least a couple of precedents among those siblings, and is supported in the style guideline at MOS:SINCE and MOS:TOPRESENT. (Those sections deprecate "–present" in article text, but not in other contexts e.g. category names.) – Fayenatic London 17:30, 9 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  1963–present is consistent with most of the articles in that category, e.g. History of Panama (1977–present). – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 19:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Propose splitting Category:Phobias to Category:Phobias and Category:Prejudice and discrimination

Nominator's rationale: This category contains both anxiety disorders such as claustrophobia and forms of prejudice such as mormonophobia (a redirect to anti-Mormonism).

  • @ Marcocapelle:  Done gnu 57 19:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC) reply
• @ Genericusername57: I agree that, e.g., mormonophobia has attributes that claustrophobia does not, but I also think that it is not random chance that words like "mormonophobia" contain "phobia". Many of these prejudices originated with and continue to be based upon substantial amounts of irrational fear. For example, when it has something to do with sexuality or gender (e.g., homophobia, transphobia), there is a substantial element of irrational fear that the feared individuals will groom, assault, or otherwise be harmful to children. What do you think about double listing homophobia, transphobia, mormonophobia, and similar as both Category:Phobias and Category:Prejudice and discrimination? — Quantling ( talk |  contribs) 19:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. There is weak consensus that the category should not exist in its current form, but I find there is no consensus either to delete or rename the category, possibly because the debate became bifurcated between these two options. Given that the CFD ran for over a month, it does not seem to me that a third relist will be productive, so I will instead say that there is no prejudice against speedy renomination.
