- Nominator's rationale (music): WP:NONDEFINING WP:CROSSCAT. Apart from Category:Early Germanic music (which is a WP:SMALLCAT), there is nothing specifically "Germanic" about the subcategories, which are all in the Category:Music by country tree. Just because a Germanic language is the predominant language in each of these countries doesn't mean all their music is necessarily "Germanic", certainly not if it's purely instrumental. Or to take a particularly ridiculous example, most Category:Eurovision songs of Luxembourg are in French, which is not a Germanic language. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:34, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale (literature): Again, apart from Category:Early Germanic literature, this is mixing up Category:Literature by country with the predominant native or official language of that country that just so happens to belong to the Germanic language family. Much of, say, Dutch or German or Luxemburgish literature isn't actually written in Dutch, German or Luxemburgish, but Latin, Greek, or French (or nowadays English). E.g. Category:Books by Desiderius Erasmus are Latin or Greek, but in the Dutch books > Dutch literature tree, and there is nothing "Germanic" about them. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:49, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale (legends): Again, apart from Category:Germanic heroic legends (and Category:Legendary Norsemen), this is mixing up Category:Legends by country... Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: delete. ✗plicit 06:52, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to recently deleted "Category:Fictional Turkic people" per WP:NONDEFINING WP:OCEGRS. The very few loose items can be diffused/manually merged into subcats if they're not there already. (E.g. most "fictional Celtic people" are redirects, or already in Category:Asterix characters). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:07, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all per nom. All of the subcategories here are based on country or ethnicity, not language. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 22:51, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. These categories mainly serve as container categories for fictional characters from nations that are deemed to be Germanic, Celtic etc. which is wrong: most articles in e.g. Category:Fictional Scottish people cannot be considered Celtic people. Other articles either belong in a subcategory or are often about a work, not a character. Note that Category:Slavic folklore characters is already in Category:Slavic people. Place Clichy (talk) 01:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/Delete all to Category:Fictional European people - I may have missed some, but the subcats (at least) all seem to be already categorized in Category:Fictional European people (and Category:Fictional European people by country), but just case, probably should merge. - jc37 08:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- A just-in-case merger to "European" does not look like a good idea to me. Category:Fictional Indo-Aryan people certainly should be excluded, as it contains Category:Fictional Bengali people. A simple Delete all would prevent any miscategorisations of fictional people who are not portrayed as Europeans / from Europe. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Maya monarchs. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:43, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: WP:C2C following recent CfRs more precisely renaming the subcategories, they are currently all Kings, monarchs, queens, or chiefs. Today someone else also renamed the main article to Maya Kings and Queens, so WP:C2D would also apply. I'm not sure it's the best title for the main article, it should certainly be lowercase k and lowercase q. But aside from Maya monarchs as main article title, Maya kings and queens would certainly be compatible with all subcategories. The "chiefs" one were also frequently called "kings", and the "monarch" ones only got that name because there were both kings and queens. So I'm adding it as an Alt option.

- Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a single radio station without sufficient volume of spinoff content to warrant an eponymous category. Apart from the eponym itself, the only other thing here is one show that it airs, so it's also a WP:SMALLCAT -- and judging by its article, the only potential for expansion would involve categorizing individual staffers, which would violate WP:PERFCAT.

* Oppose countries with compound names Despite what has been written above, there is no "Consensus at recent cfds" that has definitively and universally "endorsed the 'fooian emigrants to boo' format". That imposition is still being robustly opposed. It certainly has no consensus in the case of those countries with compound names that defy an easy demonym. While their use is to be generally decried, they are particularly useless with multi-ethnic empires, many former countries and countries with compound names. In this instance, I oppose the nominations for Wallis and Futuna, French Polynesia, and French West Indies. Down with the tyranny of demonyms! Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Since no renames are proposed here I wasn't initially sure if this iVote on the right nomination. (If any of the target categories with compound names should be renamed, I'm open minded but that can be in a future nomination.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:24, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose stricken. I have instead, per the wise advice of @Oculi: ,proposed that the contents of Category:French Polynesian people be renamed. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:PERFCAT)
- The USO is an American charity where celebrities volunteer to entertain troops. According to that main article, during World War II alone, "the USO did 293,738 performances in 208,178 separate visits". The Robin Williams, Lucille Ball and Fred Astaire articles mention this performance in passing while Judy Garland, Zac Brown, and Salma Hayek don't mention it at all. (Bob Hope is the only one I found defined by the association, but his article is already well linked.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
