Nominator's rationale:
WP:OC#SUBJECTIVE Category includes cases that were settled out of court undisclosed with those that did go through the public court process - so how "successfully sued" is not well defined. BluesFan38 (talk) 08:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. Trivial and vague category topic. Also the Plagiarism category isn't that big, so I don't think splitting it up is really that necessary. SteamboatBilly (talk) 04:04, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge Category:Horse burials to Category:Horses in culture and religion. - jc37 19:21, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

:* Propose deleting Category:Burial place unknown (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
 Propose merging

Nominator's rationale: Delete Merge. Per
WP:OC#SMALLCAT. This is actually a well defined practice; I'm most familiar with horses in Viking funerals but there were a number of cultures who practiced it at least with aristocratic burials. The category only has two legitimate articles though with little chance for growth . There is a third article on a cemetary that includes a few horses but I don't think it's appropriately included. (Alternatively, we could rename/expand the category to Category:Burials sites with horses and populate it with dozens of articles. I think that broadened category would too watered down to be defining though.) RevelationDirect (talk) 02:38, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep or Upmerge as some of these articles should be under a horse category. If upmerged, the Horse burial and Wulfsen horse burial articles should go to Category:Horses in culture and religion. I would oppose "Category:Burials sites with horses" as too inclusive. DexDor (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (but perhaps rename). The present name is too inclusive, as it would include burials of a gentleman's favourite horse, that he did not want to send to the knacker to be dealt with like fallen stock. The main article is about human burials with a horse in the same grave. This provides the basis for a valid category, relating to a class of archaeological sites. Possibly, Category:Burials of people with horses. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:19, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - this is never going to attract enough articles to be anything but a small category. Manually add Horse burial to the horse in culture and religion category, add Wulfsen horse burial there too if you really want (I don't know that I would but I haven't devoted much thought to it) and leave Sutton Hoo out of it since the horse burial was incidental to the event. I've manually added the former two to Category:Animal death as well. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Years in Malaysia and Singapore

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

The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. (

Propose merging
Nominator's rationale: There is no Category:Malaysia and Singapore or Category:Years in Malaysia and Singapore, so both these categories are misplaced children of the relevant Singapore category and Malaysia category. That's pointless, when the articles (4 from 2006, and 9 from 2005) can easily be accommodated in the standard country-by-year categories.
The articles concerned appear to be a series which was abandoned some time in 2006, in favour of the more common year-country format such as 2009 in Singapore and 2009 in Malaysia. There may be a case for splitting these articles, but that's not a CFD issue, and even if they remain combined they don't need these non-standard categories. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. It doesn't make much sense to have joint "Malaysia and Singapore" categories since Singapore has been independent from Malaysia since 1965. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 12:13, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per JackLee....William 11:35, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Split per nom (this is not a merge nom). Also any other years, since Singapore became independent. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:21, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional polyamorous characters

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

The result of the discussion was: delete. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:46, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Polyamory isn't a topic which is explored in fiction very much. When it is, as best I can recall, it's usually in a one-off episode of a longrunning series where the main characters have their boundaries tested by being introduced to a wacky polyamorous newcomer (cf
The Beast with a Billion Backs). Perhaps this could be replaced with a Polyamory in fiction article, which could use sources to discuss the concept and list Heinlein and Piercy novels? TL;DR: I basically don't think this is this is notable as a topic when applied to specific fictional characters and their individual tastes, and might be too specific.Zythe (talk) 00:27, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply
