Nominator's rationale: I couldn't find any other categories of other country's dictators so I don't think this should be here. Additionally according to Category:Dictatorship, "The former Category:Dictators was deleted, as there is no neutral way to settle who is and who isn't a dictator." Thus, this category should probably be deleted. UnilandofmaTalk 17:21, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge back and rename * Pppery * it has begun... 16:10, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Already moved into Category:Television series about mother–daughter relationships. Brunnaiz (talk) 15:22, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a proposal to rename a category, Marcocapelle, it's a proposal to delete this category that could have been handled through Speey deletion. Liz Read! Talk! 06:18, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OR, if an editor wants to rename a category, they could declare that intent in their CFD proposal so that other editors who don't have magic goggles know what is actually happening in a discussion. It seems like it is the responsibiity of the nominator to be clear in their CFD proposal and the responsibility should not fall on random discussion participants who drop by to imagine what is their hidden intent which is not mentioned in a proposal. Here endeth my participation in this proposal. Liz Read! Talk! 03:34, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about what the nom wants. Marcocapelle is pointing out that Brunnaiz has created the category under the wrong name then started a new one under a different name instead of renaming the original. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that editors in XfDs should investigate the situation before chiming in. Mclay1 (talk) 12:16, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Roller coasters that closed in 1910

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 22:53, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Slightly less wordy for some of these. I noticed a similar set of categories, called Railway stations by year of opening and Railway stations by year of closing, that make more grammatical sense, given that they also focus on a form of facility/building. Also, the word "introduction" doesn't line up with {{Infobox roller coaster}}'s parameter of "opening" and {{Infobox amusement park}}'s parameter of "opening_date", if that makes sense...

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Defence ministers of the Maldives. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 04:03, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The title is officially called the "Minister of Defence" (see: https://presidency.gov.mv/Government/Cabinet/16). It should be called the "Defence ministers of the Maldives" since the official title uses British English and not American English. UnilandofmaTalk 09:46, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) GoldRomean (talk) 04:03, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. The name of this category sounds like it's about historical events linked to identity politics. However, this category is a grouping of organised/cultural events linked to women and LGBTQ people. It feels non-neutral, and it has no clear reason to exist.

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 22:54, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The absolute majority subcategories in the parent Category:Film award winners, including most of the American awards, avoided the preposition for in subcategory naming. They use [award category + award body + winners] formula instead. Please compare, for example, the naming for the biggest American acting award subcategories, such as Category:Best Actress Academy Award winners, Category: Best Drama Actress Golden Globe (film) winners, Category: Best Musical or Comedy Actress Golden Globe (film) winners, Category: Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role Screen Actors Guild Award winners. I believe that this subcategory, as well as other subcategories in the parent Category:Independent Spirit Award winners should be renamed to maintain consistency in naming practices.

Category:Silent radio stations

[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: delete. The category was already deleted by Explicit. -- Beland (talk) 02:06, 27 September 2025 (UTC) Beland (talk) 02:06, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification: The first outcome of the discussion was to delete the category. Per Wikipedia talk:Overcategorization#Inadvertent reversal of consensus close for Category:Silent radio stations, the discussion was re-opened for input on whether stations that are off the air but have not lost their licenses should be included in Category:Defunct radio stations. As best I can tell, consensus for that has landed on yes. If there are future concerns about the scope of that category, its talk page is probably the right place to raise them. (Thanks to Pppery for pointing out this weirdness.) -- Beland (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is not an appropriate category. Being silent is a temporary characteristic of a radio station, so one would expect stations to move in and out of this category all the time. (Reasons for silence may include financial reasons, facility damage, etc.) Some stations in this category may never return to the air and eventually need switching to defunct station categories. Categorization is inappropriate for this condition. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 16:06, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (as category creator): Being "silent", where a station is allowed to be off the air but still retain it's broadcast license, is definitely intended to be temporary and 20 years ago I would have agreed with the nominator. But the broadcast industry is in such shambles that being silent often persists. WHNQ (AM) went off the air in 2023 for financial reasons while WVOD did so in 2024. Even with stations that went silent this year, I wonder if it would really be WP:CRYSTALBALL to add them to Category:Defunct radio stations right now: WLZR was an uneconomical daytime-only AM station and WLBG had been for sale for 8 years but could not find a buyer. Also note that these articles typically have both their infobox and and text updated to reflect they are silent, so a category doesn't seem like too much overhead.
    A radio station that doesn't broadcast on the radio seems defining to me, but this could also work as a maintenance category. I look forward to other perspectives! - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:29, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Manually merge to the tree of Category:Defunct radio stations which is what they are in practice. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:56, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - per Dark (broadcasting), the dividing line between silent and defunct seems to be whether they still have the license or not. So, Support Manual Purge, per Marcocapelle. I'm unsure if the remaining (licensed) stations' category should be kept or listified. I think that would be better known after purging the defunct ones. - jc37 21:09, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Your idea would make sense if there were known defunct stations here. Let me explain a feature of US law that results in stations that might be dead but not dead yet. We've seen stations go off the air because they lose their tower site or whatever. Then they try to get back on the air. Under US law, you get 12 months to get back on the air before your license expires. Then you're well and truly defunct. WCMS-FM should be dead, but the FCC hasn't marked it for deletion yet. I also found stations that don't qualify to be listed as silent, including one that was off the air for only five days and one I can't tell was off the air at all. Cases like WVES (FM) and KZGD, which I double-checked, exemplify why this should not be a category. The status is too transitory. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 05:47, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for improving those articles. Ideally, the FCC would have two statuses: "making repairs/upgrades with vendors under contract" and "indefinitely shut down and license for sale". I would see the former as non-defining and the latter as defining. RevelationDirect (talk) 09:00, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Thoughts on Jc37's suggestion to purge and then reassess?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:25, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think purging would solve something. Presumably the intention is to remove stations from the category that have been silent but now back in the air. So after purging we will be left with stations that are still silent and thus (de facto, but not de jure) defunct. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:50, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I assumed purging meant moving stations to "defunct" categories and was going to ask what for clarification on which stations that would apply to: KZAC was stripped of its most valuable asset (the old "KSFO" call letters) and shut down while another editor has already reworded the intro of WTRX to be in the past tense. But I'm also fine removing ones that are back on the air if that's the consensus. RevelationDirect (talk) 08:52, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manually merge per Marco. In the case where the stations were temporarily silent, this doesn't seem worth categorising; where the categories are functionally defunct, that category seems more appropriate. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:44, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • It shouldn't surprise anyone that my intention was to move silent stations into Category:Defunct radio stations unless they have come back to life. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:43, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • We are only talking about maybe two dozen articles though, so I don't see any outcome as being that big of a deal; the most important thing is we come together on some sort of consensus here at CFD to avoid undoing each other's edits at the article levels. (To me, a radio station is something that broadcasts sound, not a line on a spreadsheet in Washington, D.C., so if a radio station is not on the air that's defining for readers. Since the silent category is out as an option, defunct would reflect the actual status. But I welcome additional voices who might not have participated the first time.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:28, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
