December 29

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Fictional rope fighters

Nominator's rationale: There's no real life category equivalent and this seems like something the (now-banned) creator made up. I think we can agree that the characters are technically melee weapon users, but this is an arbitrary categorization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Recurring sporting events established in 1862

Nominator's rationale: Only 1 page in this category. Let'srun (talk) 22:57, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alumni by university or college in the United Kingdom

Alumnis by English colleges and universities
Alumnis by Scottish colleges and universities
Alumnis by Welsh colleges and universities
Nominator's rationale: "Alumni" comes at the end. Only U.K. univeristy and colleges alumni category are named as such. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:19, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anne-Marie (2)

Option A
Option B
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_December_10#Category:Songs_written_by_Anne-Marie_(singer), where only one of 3 interlinked categories was nominated. This is not eligible for Speedy because Anne-Marie (disambiguation) lists several other people, including other singers. If there is no consensus for Option A then Option B would be required, i.e. reverting the previous CFD. Pinging previous CFD participants Ayakanaa, Richhoncho, Marcocapelle, LaundryPizza03. – Fayenatic London 10:38, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jewish American male comedians

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OC. They are already gendered in nationality. None of the other Category:Jewish comedians by nationality are divided as such. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American inventors

Nominator's rationale: Per previous Cfd on "Jewish American inventors" - WP:EGRS. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nigerian families of Bini ancestry

Nominator's rationale: unhelpful for navigation to only have one category of bini ancestry Mason (talk) 05:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1780s in Germany

Nominator's rationale: Again with the anachronistic "[Specific Time Period] in [Country That Didn't Exist in That Time Period]" categories Bearcat (talk) 04:57, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dutch sports national champions

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories Mason (talk) 01:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, it is different. The nominated category is for national champions, the target is for world champions by nationality. Better withdraw this discussion and nominate Category:Sports champions of the Netherlands with all of its siblings together, as a redundant category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:18, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as distinct categories. Arguably the national champion categories can form a subcategory of the sports champions ones. I don't think either layer is redundant. I think the "of X" wording isn't the best though. If champions for representing the country is intended, the "for X" would be better. If these are simply champions of a given nationality, then the demonym can be used, same as Category:German Nobel laureates. Any thoughts @Smasongarrison:? SFB 12:35, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mythological vertebrates

Nominator's rationale: Truth be told, I'm dubious about the "vertebrate" parent categories too, but this one is particularly problematic, given that it conflates scientific terminology with mythological/legendary creatures. It simply doesn't matter for Wikipedians' purposes whether a mythological being is a vertebrate or not, this is a distinction that is used in biology. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
