Nominator's rationale: Consistency with established naming conventions and the main article; Hampton's men's and women's teams are known by separate names (Pirates and Lady Pirates), so the gender descriptor is unnecessary. fuzzy510 (talk) 18:46, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale (Viking rulers): This is the definition currently given at Category:Viking Age monarchs. "Viking rulers" is too vague, moreover "Viking" is in Category:Pirates and Category:Medieval piracy, which may not necessarily apply to all these Norse monarchs outside Scandinavia.
Nominator's rationale (Viking Age monarchs): The definition given is essentially all Norse / North Germanic monarchs in Denmark, Sweden and Norway in the 8th to 11th century. "Viking Age monarchs" is just not clear enough, because it doesn't necessarily mean the monarchs in question were "Vikings", just that they reigned during the "Viking Age". It's also not clear they were all "pirates". We should call them "Norse", as they are in Category:Norsemen, and it is how the category is described, and its subcats work.

The result of the discussion was: rename & reparent.
(non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale:
WP:C2C. Parent is Category:Asian monarchs, children are "monarchs" (Timurids and Chobanids) or "khans" (the rest). Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
PS: Re-parent from Category:Mongolian people (=people from Mongolia) to Category:Mongols (=ethnic group), because many of these Mongol monarchs weren't born in Mongolia itself anymore, and probably never visited it, as they spent their reigns in other parts of Asia or even Europe.

Nominator's rationale: rename, better grammar. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:45, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge to parents
    WP:SMALLCAT — if kept, it would be "to" matching siblings "to India" and "to the Himilayas".

The result of the discussion was: Split to Category:Superhero detectives (as already done) (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 02:04, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: purge superheroes from this category. While superheroes undoubtedly do some amateur detective work too, I do not think it is helpful to have them in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:17, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe this should be argued case by case. The category seems justified for Moon Knight, e.g. "Mr. Knight works with the NYPD investigating police cases." The occult detective John Constantine need not be kept in this category as he is in the psychic & occult detective sub-cat. Batman has a citation for "Batman is regarded as one of the world's greatest detectives, if not the world's greatest crime solver," but is in a sub-cat for gentlemen detectives. Would it satisfy your misgivings to create a new category of superhero detectives? – Fayenatic London 21:27, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Most seasons have 1 or 2 articles with no more than 3 in a season. Softly fails
WP:OCMISC as being independent means not being in a conference. Independent is not a conference itself. Merge to main category for season. Optionally create a YYYY season by team category and populate with other articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidan721 (talk • contribs
