- 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 to Category:Indian books by writer and purge as suggested by Marcocapelle. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category Mason (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The category hierarchy is very confusing but these aren't really overlapping categories. e.g. Quichotte (novel) is a book by an Indian (origin) author but isn't an Indian book. I believe this would be the case for books by many authors of Indian origin. I think a restructuring of the category hierarchy is more in order than merging these two categories. —SpacemanSpiff 03:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmmm... well, either way the category would need to be renamed to make that clearer. So something like Books by writers of Indian descent? Then the question becomes whether that should be category? Mason (talk) 04:41, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't disagree on the category name. I believe the category tree needs a relook to sort out the hierarchy and nomenclature. I'm not sure how to go about it, especially since many authors would be affected -- Naipaul, Rushdie, J Lahiri, V Seth etc where their books would fit in one or a few times, both. —SpacemanSpiff 05:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: The category's title is vague and it is unclear what is defining about being derived from humans. Races can look totally human without actually being derived from them whatsoever, races can also look completely inhuman while still being derived from humans, meaning that it is essentially just a minor lore point with no bearing on the race itself. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose merger, instead rename to Category:Fictional human-descended species. AHI-3000 (talk) 04:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge Category contents are a mess, with no clear distinction between possible redefinitions. Some contents, such as the Azi, can belong under Category:Fictional transhumans. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per nom. There might be wisdom in creating something like Category:Fictional human-descended species, but the current category is not that. Renaming would entail puring most of the category, which seems like more work than just starting from scratch. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Substack writers
[edit]
- 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: selective merge to Category:Bloggers. (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 02:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: Writing for Substack does not seem to be a defining characteristic for any of the people in this category, per WP:COPDEF, WP:DEFINING, WP:CATDEF, WP:BLPCAT, but rather an incidental aspect. The barrier to being a Substack writer appears nil. While some people might be notable as bloggers (Category:Bloggers) regardless of platform, or consistently associated with a certain publication (e.g. Category:The New York Times writers), we don't generally categorize people who just happen to have a particular blog or social media account (e.g. no Category:Tumblr posters or Category:Facebook users or Category:Blogspot.com writers). While having a Substack profile may be verifiable, verifiability is not the same as 'definingness', per WP:NONDEFINING --Animalparty! (talk) 04:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support in principle, but these should be selectively merged to bloggers, because that's effectively what they are. Mason (talk) 04:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- It may be fine to include this information in the Substack article but it does not require a category. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Katz found unspecified "scores" (at least 16!) of writers publishing white-supremacist and/or Nazi content, out of over 17,000 paid writers on Substack (less than 1 percent), and calls it a Nazi problem. Good for him. That doesn't mean Katz, nor anyone else warrants placement in this category, per the above guideline, as well as WP:NOTEVERYTHING. We don't include data or categories merely because it's true or because some might find it useful or interesting. --Animalparty! (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Winning this award is not defining to those who have won it. The accomplishment is not even mentioned most of the articles and just listed in an awards table in others.
