Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:OVERLAP. Also because I don't see another sports league-specific book category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Should they also be merged to Category:Major League Baseball mass media?--User:Namiba 23:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the nominated category is already a subcategory of Category:Major League Baseball mass media. Perhaps, rather than the proposed merge, we should simple rename this existing category category:Books about Major League Baseball or Category:Books about baseball. Thoughts?--User:Namiba 14:07, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Namiba, hence why I chose the target cat as Category:Baseball books, of which the nominated category is a subcat as well. And again, these books aren't about MLB. Yeah it is a part of these books by default but the league isn't the defining part of them. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:02, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Place Clichy, @Smasongarrison, pinging for some more opinions on this one. Note that no other sports league has such a category and these books aren't sanctioned by MLB nor is MLB the defining aspect of them. Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I don't think we need to add branding into the category name. Mason (talk) 20:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Omnis Scientia, please don't WP:CANVAS. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 21:04, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Youth EuroBasket" is the official name for this group of tournaments. The current category name is incorrect, because it looks like it deals with the senior category. For the senior category, see: Category:EuroBasket navigational boxes. Maiō T. (talk) 12:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is an absolute failure of DEFINING. None of these games are defined by the fact that a magazine gave them a perfect score. -- ferret (talk) 18:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those damn Yanks, deleting categories! Ford cars, McDonald's hamburgers and now this! The American cultural hegemony continues unabated! ...You realise that deleting a category isn't deleting an article, right? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 21:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We literally had exactly the same thing with categories about Christmas Number Ones. They all got wiped out. If a game's success isn't defined by sales or by awards, what the fuck is left?
Not sure how you can seriously assert this after multiple editors have voiced their opinion that any similar magazine awards should be deleted, and zero editors have cited it being a UK magazine being from the UK is the problem at hand. You're serving up a counterpoint to an argument no one made to begin with. Sergecross73 msg me 13:06, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
EDIT: I've stricken out the statement as ip voted before adding this. Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 21:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ToadetteEdit Not trying to be mean but if you don't know WP:CATDEF you shouldn't be accepting requests for categories at AFC/C. -- ferret (talk) 21:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, and 2nd ferret's advice to make sure that you're aware of what the policies are before nominating. Mason (talk) 20:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEF. The lone article in this category, for a colonial Louisiana personality, isn't defined by this ancestry, which was assumed in the 1970s based on her name. Place Clichy (talk) 08:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Out of sequence overcat - this is the only category in the "Demolished buildings and structures by city*" which is a neighbourhood of a city. London and New York are each broken out by jurisdictions, not neighbourhoods. *now populated places for some bizarre reason, even though city is more concise, and the category only contains cities.
