(non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:06, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per consensus on the 21st century version Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_13#Category:21st-century_activists "Not a good idea to categorise activists, not by issue but by century. Different sorts of activists dont have much in common. May even be opposed to each other. And the term activist is modern. Very few people are described as activists before the twentieth century" Mason (talk) 23:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:05, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: This category isn't for activists who are Palestinian, instead it's for activists on behalf of Palestinian solidarity, regardless of nationality.

(non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale: There are already two separate category pages for this topic, as evidenced by the existence of Category:Australian radio personalities and Category:Australian television personalities. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 13:51, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Downmerge. I've added the named child categories to this parent category. I don't see why we should delete instead of downmerge into the respective child categories. Mason (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not every presenter/personality is famous on both television and radio, and there are no other parent categories by nationality like this category in question. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 16:17, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hence, I suggested downmerging. Mason (talk) 20:18, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Surely merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. I don't quite understand the downmerge, I would have said upmerge to Category:Australian media personalities. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:00, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    At the time there were individual people in the category, but they've been removed. So upmerge is now fine.Mason (talk) 23:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:48, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: I encountered this category including Disney logo, an article, while this category is for non-free logo files. "Non-free" is also necessary because some Disney-related logos are too simple to be copyrighted. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
