Category:Three Holy Hierarchs

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. Arguments to merge were based on
WP:SMALLCAT, whereas arguments to keep were not based on any existing guideline. (non-admin closure) ~ RobTalk 18:00, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per
WP:SMALLCAT, with no possibility of expansion of the category. Besides all articles refer to each other. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:31, 11 April 2016 (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: keep Category:Television series written by Samira Fazal. Note that Category:Television series written by Fintan Ryan has been deleted before this discussion closed. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: TV written by categories are deprecated by precedent such as this Le Deluge (talk) 18:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I do not understand the objection to the first. Many TV series have multiple authors. I do not think we should encourage categories for those with multiple authors, but Samira Fazal appears to be the sole author of at least two series. The other appears to have been deleted already. The alternative might to merge to a "Works by ... " category. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: IMHO the precedent quoted above incorrectly claimed support from
    WP:TV#Categories. That is a guideline against "People by series" but the categories nominated here are "Series by people". The precedent makes a separate point discouraging such categories for series that have multiple writers. PKI's suggestion may be a way round that problem. – Fayenatic London 11:55, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

Category:Digital-only games

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: delete. Those who argued for deletion have the stronger guidelines-based argument here. (Also, don't try to vote stack, people. Doing so is counterproductive. It's better to just let your arguments stand on their own rather than annoying the closer with having to sift through anonymous IP comments which will just be discounted anyway.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC) (Note: After closing the discussion, this was pursued, revealing several of the accounts that participated in this discussion to be sockpuppets.

Nominator's rationale: Is the means of distribution really defining? We already have the likes of Category:Online gaming services so the only distinction for these games is that they don't come on a CD/DVD. Le Deluge (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, the means of distribution is definitive. If players are looking for a game, they would like to know how they could purchase it. If the digital game requires paying before downloading or playing online, then this something only players with credit cards can afford. 173.55.37.52 (talk) 01:31, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment this naming makes no sense. "digital" does not mean online distribution. Any non-analog videogame (ie. all of them except games on the Odyssey or VCR games) are "digital"; even many non-electronic games are digital (ie. chess, checkers, etc); DVDs and CDs are digital only formats. -- 70.51.45.100 (talk)
  • Rename Maybe this one can be called "Non-physical video games"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.55.37.52 (talk) 02:08, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Solution in search of a problem. This kind of distribution is not a defining trait such that it's covered or emphasized in reliable sources—same for other forms of media. And that's aside from the issues with the name. czar 15:48, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If there's something wrong with this category, why do we have something like Atari Jaguar-only games? Games release exclusively for a certain platform or something else is distinct. 173.55.37.52 (talk) 16:15, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If you read or listen to video game reviews, the reviewer sometimes says some games aren't released physically. So how can someone say this topic isn't covered in sources? 173.55.37.52 (talk) 16:19, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not every characteristic is a defining characteristic and in this case it doesn't seem to define the game. Delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are categories about games released exclusively for the Atari Jaguar or Playstation defining? 173.55.37.52 (talk) 01:09, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a
    WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argumentation. If you think they aren't, please nominate them for deletion too. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:31, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply

Category:Election result formatting templates

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:Politics formatting templates. – Fayenatic London 20:38, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Basically a single template with the target category not being overly populated either. PanchoS (talk) 06:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only got this right at second sight. Distinguishing the actual result tables from the table formatting templates makes sense. While the proposed wording is rather long, it is better at describing the actual content. PanchoS (talk) 16:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- My preference would be to keep the present name and provide a headnote that it can be adapted for referendums (which are likely to be much less commonly required). Peterkingiron (talk) 16:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Table and column templates

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: split. – Fayenatic London 20:45, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Though columns may be produced using HTML tables (though divs are preferred), these are functionally different kinds of templates: the one rendering structured information as actual tables, the others merely breaking content into several columns. Splitting the category would considerably help an author find the template they need for a particular purpose. PanchoS (talk) 06:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
