Support per nom, but presumably Category:10th-century Mongol rulers and Category:11th-century Mongol rulers should be merged to Category:10th-century Mongolian people and Category:11th-century Mongolian people respectively. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:53, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, because Category:Mongolian people is a nationality, it refers to people from Mongolia (that is, citizens/subjects of the country of Mongolia). Category:Mongols are an ethnic group that is not bound to any country or geography (although they largely originated in present-day Mongolia). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:30, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point, it means that Category:10th-century Mongolian people should be nominated for renaming to Category:10th-century Mongol people. And siblings too. But for now, let us not lose relevant articles for that category. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:47, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Biographies about reformers to Category:Biographies about religious figures

Nominator's rationale: Consistency with established naming conventions and the main article; Hampton's men's and women's teams are known by separate names (Pirates and Lady Pirates), so the gender descriptor is unnecessary. fuzzy510 (talk) 18:46, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Viking rulers
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.
Nominator's rationale (Viking rulers): This is the definition currently given at Category:Viking Age monarchs. "Viking rulers" is too vague, moreover "Viking" is in Category:Pirates and Category:Medieval piracy, which may not necessarily apply to all these Norse monarchs outside Scandinavia.
Nominator's rationale (Viking Age monarchs): The definition given is essentially all Norse / North Germanic monarchs in Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the 8th to 11th century. "Viking Age monarchs" is just not clear enough, because it doesn't necessarily mean the monarchs in question were "Vikings", just that they reigned during the "Viking Age". It's also not clear they were all "pirates". We should call them "Norse", as they are in Category:Norsemen, and it is how the category is described, and its subcats work. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:36, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Combine the two to Category:Norse monarchs. Agree with nom for 95%, but "outside Scandinavia" is an unnecessary case of WP:OCMISC. Besides, once renamed, a few articles should be manually moved to Category:Vikings as not all are clearly monarchs. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:16, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good idea, I wouldn't mind that solution at all. I had my doubts already but you've confirmed them. Let's see what others think. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:22, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.
Nominator's rationale:WP:C2C. Parent is Category:Asian monarchs, children are "monarchs" (Timurids and Chobanids) or "khans" (the rest). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Re-parent from Category:Mongolian people (=people from Mongolia) to Category:Mongols (=ethnic group), because many of these Mongol monarchs weren't born in Mongolia itself anymore, and probably never visited it, as they spent their reigns in other parts of Asia or even Europe. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:purge superheroes from this category. While superheroes undoubtedly do some amateur detective work too, I do not think it is helpful to have them in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:17, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe this should be argued case by case. The category seems justified for Moon Knight, e.g. "Mr. Knight works with the NYPD investigating police cases." The occult detective John Constantine need not be kept in this category as he is in the psychic & occult detective sub-cat. Batman has a citation for "Batman is regarded as one of the world's greatest detectives, if not the world's greatest crime solver," but is in a sub-cat for gentlemen detectives. Would it satisfy your misgivings to create a new category of superhero detectives? – FayenaticLondon 21:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

College baseball independents seasons
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.
Nominator's rationale: Most seasons have 1 or 2 articles with no more than 3 in a season. Softly fails WP:OCMISC as being independent means not being in a conference. Independent is not a conference itself. Merge to main category for season. Optionally create a YYYY season by team category and populate with other articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidan721 (talk • contribs)
