The result of the discussion was: no consensus. No prejudice against speedy renomination. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:17, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Taiwan is the widely recognized and commonly used name for the entity governed by the Republic of China (ROC). Using "Taiwan" in categories aligns with common usage and improves clarity for most users navigating Wikipedia's category system. We have two categories for the same thing and Category:Republic of China states that is the category for Taiwan which is the also the same name for the main article on the country. Taiwan is the name of the article. Not Republic of China.

  • Of course rename the sibling category too. I have tagged that category page. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:48, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose and rename categories the other way around. It’s a phrase coined from a given perspective and used as a proper noun to refer to a given (series of) historical event(s) not about any supposedly-real ’war on [supposedly-real] terror" The cap(s) should remain imv for even stronger reasons than for fictions about World War II, Wars of the Roses, etc. Or use quotation marks (which the article uses, except for its first occurrence in the LS). Renaming the suggested way would not be consistent with conventions as they show in Category:Films by war. Anyway, renaming with no cap letter would be highly controversial and biased, whereas categories should be neutral.--- E.—UX 09:12, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The War on Terror article was moved to war on terror in 2019 as a result of this requested move, in which it was lumped in with other titles like war on cancer, war on poverty, etc. None of the commentators in that RM directly addressed the War on Terror. If we go by Eva UX's above argument that the War on Terror was a specific series of events and a proper noun, then a new requested move should be started to reverse the move for War on Terror, and the categories can speedily follow as C2D. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:04, 8 September 2025 (UTC), 13:07, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for providing that context. Do we agree that the fictions and books in question are about given defined historical events that they portray/describe and not about the idea/political project in general? If so, even (or precisely) by the reasoning of those who wished to rename the article without capitals, the present categories should, as depictions of particular historical events, from my understanding of the debate and naming conventions, have capitals. - E.—UX 13:27, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Another solution would be to rename the categories xxxxx about the Global War on Terorism (alternative name, see article) - E.—UX 13:40, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The argument to treat "War on Terror" the a book topic as different from the Wikipedia article topic "war on terror" is going to be hard to make for category titles, given how the default preference around here is usually to follow the article title. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:14, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    the default preference around here is usually to follow the article title, yes, if and when the article title refers only to what the categories refer to. Which is not the case here. Again, I am directing interested users to the debate you linked. I also suggest another renaming that would in my opinion avoid any controversy. Again thank you for your help and input. - E.—UX 18:23, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The category is for books about whatever the article war on terror is about. I agree that War on Terror as a proper noun makes more sense, but until the article is renamed (which may never happen considering the multiple past debates about this kind of thing), the categories should match the article. Mclay1 (talk) 14:30, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename I don't see any good reason to deviate from the article here; I've read Eva UX's comments and am not convinced. * Pppery * it has begun... 06:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. I too am not convinced by the above counterargument. Οἶδα (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename and merge. (non-admin closure) – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 13:45, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:CATNAME and WP:C2C, consistency with established category tree names
No objection to diffusing the UNT category but the proposed rename follows Category:Colleges and schools by university and there aren't any departments in the category anyway. (There are several articles—marching bands, university press, buildings—that never belonged in this category; I could have cleaned that up outside of CFD but I'm nominating the cat as I found it.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:10, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: purge. No consensus to delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:20, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Originally created by a banned sockpuppet. The category has no inclusion criteria or scope. 41 of 49 places on this list are cities and towns, not resorts. At least 2 of the resorts aren't even seaside. Another burned down in 1979 and the site is a 7-11. To me, this seems like a duplication of existing categories.

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:42, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is very lightly used, and "all organizations related to vegetables" does not seem to be a useful categorization; it is rather ambiguous (for example, are the Vegetarian Society, PETA, or even the Seventh-Day Adventist Church "vegetable organizations" since they promote eating vegetables instead of animal products? What about gardening organizations?). The two pages directly included could be put under a new Category:Vegetable orchestras or Category:Vegetable music groups. Luke10.27 (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're confusing vegetarian and vegetable... Vegetarian diets are not limited to vegetables. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 02:26, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do understand what a vegetarian diet is; my thought was that one could argue they should be included because switching to a vegetarian diet usually involves eating more vegetables. Now that I've thought about it more, though, it would be quite a stretch to include them, so they aren't the best examples do use. I do still question the usefulness of the category, because the fact that an organization is somehow related to vegetables does not seem to be a classification useful for navigation, but my example in the nomination of vegetarian organizations wasn't a good one.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:49, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Being a prison escapee is arguably not defining, as evidenced from the fact that there is no real-life version of this category. While being a fugitive might be, specifically having escaped from prison is merely a plot element of the story. I suggest merging to Category:Fictional fugitives. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 10:55, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merger. There's a significant distinction between a suspected criminal fleeing to avoid prosecution and imprisonment, and a convicted prisoner escaping from incarceration. And why merge with Category:Fictional fugitives instead of Category:Fictional prisoners and detainees, which would be a better fit? Also, your claim that there wasn't a real-life version of this category is incorrect, as we already have Category:Escapees, which is all about people who escaped from prison. AHI-3000 (talk) 17:48, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Escapees is less specific than "prison" escapees, which is the point here. That is analogous with fugitives.
Category:Fictional prisoners and detainees implies they are defined by being a prisoner while "escapee/fugitive" means the defining aspect of them is that they are a former prisoner. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 01:06, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
From Category:Escapees introduction: "Escapees are people who are famous for an escape from a detention in places like prisons, POW camps or penal colonies." It think it's quite clear that Category:Fictional prison escapees is indeed the appropriate fictional counterpart for the real-life parent category.
I still argue that Category:Fictional prisoners and detainees has a closer relationship to this category than Category:Fictional fugitives, as there's a common thread of them being prison inmates; the fugitives category is more suited for characters fleeing from arrest and prosecution without needing to having been detained first.

Considered alone, this should probably be kept since it follows a larger pattern of categorisation. The tree of these triple intersections should probably be discussed in its entirety. 1234qwer1234qwer4 03:38, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: These seem to be very similar if not identical in scope (and unless I'm misunderstanding, the inclusion of these categories should be reversed if both should exist). The latter name is more in line with the other subcategories of Category:Types of neoplasia. 1234qwer1234qwer4 02:53, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete/Merge for different reasons. Clicked through the articles, and they generally mention having "estates". I'm not sure if that's independently notable from being nobility but, if so, this would have to be about being large landowners not just yeoman farmers.

Within Category:Religious buildings and structures by religion, most religion' categories just use "buildings", but "and structures" would better accommodate Category:Jewish monuments and memorials. – Fayenatic London 15:23, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Category seems incredibly broad and can encompass most works of fiction that have some degree of "fictional universe". Due to how vague it is, I can't see how it's particularly helpful. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 02:20, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is also reflected in the incoherently broad actual contents. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 23:16, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Either delete, or keep and purge. If this category has any actual definition that's not too vague, clearly it's become way too damn broad in scope. For starters, remove every fictional universe and media franchise in it, assuming this category is even worth keeping in the first place. AHI-3000 (talk) 07:05, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - pretty sure that when I created this category in September 2006 (nearly 19 years ago!) it did not contain all these articles. I have a vague curiosity about what it did contain, but is there still no way to work out what categories looked like in the past (despite them being a dynamic page)? The ones that would sort of fit are: Mythopoeia, Mythopoeic Awards, Mythopoeic Society, Mythopoeic thought, Mythopoetic men's movement. Um. Those last two are a bit left-field! It probably had Category:Middle-earth, Category:Mythopoeic writers and possibly The Lord of the Rings. You could manage a category like this, but it would almost certainly bloat again over time. Carcharoth (talk) 22:02, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If we're to have this cat it should be narrowly defined to include only articles *about* Mythopoeia, the process of creating myth itself. As Carcharoth says, that will contain only a handful of articles. If folks want that outcome, we simply purge the current list of books and films, tighten the definition, and apply it to the few articles that discuss aspects of Mythopoeia. Or, it might be better to rename it "Mythopoeic process" to avoid a repeat bloat, in which case we can just delete the existing cat. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:49, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Mythopoetic is different again. Not the same as Mythopoeia (popularised in the 1930s). Mythopoeic thought is an interesting use of the word (coined in the 1940s). I think Category:Mythopoeic writers also needs attention (but not by me, sorry). Carcharoth (talk) 12:35, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete, the content is not specifically about folklore (rather about fiction in general) and it is a mishmash of elements, motifs and characters. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:45, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as vague cat per nom--Lenticel (talk) 01:48, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in the absence of any clear universal unambiguous reproducible scientific account of where the lines come between folklore and fiction. Ditto elements, motifs and characters. Recurring elements in folklore is a useful generalisation that encompasses what are admittedly some very fuzzy ideas that are frequently used in folkloristic studies. Without this category, we could easily end up with a number of new ones, each containing overlapping subsets of the current category, accompanied by endless debate about what belongs where. --Northernhenge (talk) 21:53, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING and the spirit of WP:SHAREDNAME
These categories group roads based on whether they were named after a building or something religious. Name origins can be interesting and worth including in the article but this doesn't seem defining. I'm struggling to picture a Wikipedia reader who would want a direct navigational pathway between, say, Amen Corner, London, Imam Khomeini Street, Temple Street, Hong Kong, and Chapel Street, Melbourne. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:37, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and WP:NPOV
I personally find Albert Camus and Kurt Vonnegut pessimistic but not Samuel Beckett or H. G. Wells, but this category only agrees with my opinions 50% of the time. (Camus and Beckett are in, Vonnegut and Wells are out.) All 4 of my example articles discuss to what extent the authors are pessimistic, but that seems like a really general adjective. If Pessimistic fiction is a recognized fiction genre, starting with a well-sourced article could better ground any future category with less subjective inclusion criteria. - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:37, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
