Early centuries in Somalia

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: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, poorly populated categories (apart from the subcategories) and Somalia did not even exist yet. The subcategories are already in Category:13th-century African people etc. The articles are already in Category:Somali empires but if the merge goes ahead they should also be added to Category:13th century in Africa etc. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Wikipedian video game developers. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:USERCAT for lacking any discernible collaborative function - WP:OC/U#narrow. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't contest if other editors find the categorization too niche, but I would like to argue that its meant to better organize editors who have a technical background with Roblox as a platform and engine, especially as there are multiple Roblox games listed in the Roblox category and the List of Roblox games page on Wikipedia.

Wrong names of assessment categories for the Philippine music task force

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: already moved. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:16, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recently tried organizing the Philippine music task force of Wikipedia:Tambayan Philippines by fixing the talk page banner, adding an article alert system, and assessment categories. After creating all the categories, there were no articles showing up in any of the quality assessment categories. And after reading the banner documentation, I figured that the 
 |TF_2_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Philippine music task force articles
parameter in the talk page banner may be at fault. I'd like to request for these quality assessment categories be moved to its respective names, accordingly, since the importance assessment categories with the similar naming structure as to the parameter works just fine. It's my first time having to do such, and unfortunately it went to no good. Thank you very much and I apologies for the hassle dealt. – Relayed (t • c) 11:32, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:17, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unencyclopedic cross-categorization, while it might be a common trope it is still not defining that one is BOTH a superhero and adopted. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:50, 9 November 2024 (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.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fictional extraterrestrial characters from the Solar System. (non-admin closure) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 02:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The title of this category, as written, can encompass most fictional characters ever created. It clearly means "fictional extraterrestrials from within the Solar System", but I'm not sure it passes WP:NONDEF compared to often-used beings like Martians and Venusians, for which there are subcategories. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:08, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Apart from being a 99.99% WP mirror - for our purposes, Justapedia is merely another crowdsourced platform that should not be used as a source for anything, so there should be no "articles with Justapedia origins". Pointless category. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:22, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Clans are shared between Iroquois nations (for example, a Mohawk Wolf Clan member, an Oneida Wolf Clan member, and a Seneca Wolf Clan member are all considered part of the same clan, see here and here), and these categories are currently very small with only one of them having more than 3 entries, so populating them with clan members from the other Iroquois nations would be beneficial. 69.159.15.16 (talk) 03:30, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The usual issue with ambiguously-named non-content categories. I would have sent it to speedy but wasn't sure if this was an uncontroversial "established naming convention" under criterion C2B. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:18, 9 November 2024 (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.
The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Life peers created before 1876. (non-admin closure) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:42, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Opposed at speedy. This rename aligns with the subcategories and is generally more clear. Pinging people from CFDS: @Ravenpuff, Fayenatic london, and Stephan Leeds. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support as original nominator: Stephan Leeds's argument (below) doesn't quite work because this category contains peers rather than peerages; thus the category tree name is already correct and changing it would make it inconsistent with other similar category. "Created" can only mean "elevated" in this context, not "born", as witnessed by e.g. Category:Life peers created by Elizabeth II. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 02:50, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
