Category:Bridges over Oos River in the Lichtentaler Allee
Category was useful and was emptied without a reason. Now, in Category:Oos River along the Lichtentaler Allee and Category:Lichtentaler Allee the famous bridges are missing, in Category:Bridges over Oos River many categories lack a "street" or similar category. --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- The category Category: Bridges over Oos River in the Lichtentaler Allee is unnecessary. I emptied it by moving the files to newly created, more specific categories. These new categories contain clear location references in their names and/or documentation. All bridges over the Oos should be presented together in one category in the order of their location from the source to the mouth of the river. -- Gerd Eichmann (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Buildings in Interlaken
- The list of subcategories in "Buildings in Interlaken" is already quite long and it's easy to oversea one of the sub-categories. Therefore a few questions: Could we add sections to the list instead of sorting it from A-Z: A) Publicly used buildings (museums, postoffices, churches aso.) B) privately used buildings (chalets, villas, barns aso.) C) Industrial+commercial (offices, hotels, cafés, bars etc.) D) Other structures (architectural elements, monuments, fountains etc.).
- There is a subcatagory «Buildings in Interlaken by name». Question: would it be possible to add another one: «Buildings in Interlaken by construction» (Chalets, glassbuildings, Stone)? Reason: Most categories relate to the type of use (Privat, business, industrial, touristic). «Chalets in Interlaken» could fit in any of these categories.
- Three similar subcategories: "Houses in Interlaken", «Revenue houses in Interlaken» and «Residential houses in Interlaken». I think, one of these categories is enough?
Just an idea. Rectilinium (talk) 02:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC) / Translated Rectilinium (talk) 06:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you can make intermediate categories. Please see for instance Category:Buildings by function for correct category names.
- You may have a category Category:Buildings by material for Interlaken. But please do not mix chalets and materials. And are ALL chalets in Interlaken used for privat, business, industrial and touristic reasons? If not, see Category:Chalets for correct parent categories for the main category; a subcategory for one chalet (or a group of chalets) can have an extra parent, depending on the use of the chalet.
- Usually the first one would be enough. You may make a subcategory Category:Vacation homes for Interlaken for the "Revenue houses".
- So in general: look at the main category (far up in the category structure/tree) and see what the possibilities are for correct category names. JopkeB (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Works by Justin bieber
Category claims "Works by Justin bieber" but the uploader of the single picture in the category claims the picture is their own work, meaning the category is wrong. LeeGer (talk) 07:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- In any case if kept it should be capitalized. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- The image is clearly miscategorized, as it is attributed to the uploader, and there is no reason to believe it was taken by Justin Bieber. I've recatted it up to Justin Bieber in case it is somehow Bieber-related (maybe the subject is portraying one of his looks) and I'm not Bieber-expert enough to determine it has nothing at all to do with him. The category is now empty and can be speedy deleted. Hopefully one day Mr. Bieber will become a Commons contributor and this can be recreated with legitimate content at that time.

Category:Visitor centres
What is the difference between Category:Visitor centres and Category:Information centers? Can both have descriptions showing the differences OR can both be merged (like in EN-WP)? JopkeB (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep both — According to Wikidata, an information center is a "place where information is given out", and a visitor center is a "combination of tourist center and museum directly related to a point of interest or the local area". An information center provides information for tourists/visitors, while a visitor center is a combination of an information center and a museum. For instance, the Government of India Tourist Office in New Delhi is a mere information center, while the Category:Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida is both an information center and a museum. Apologies for providing examples from different hemispheres, but it is clear that "information center" and "visitor center" are not synonymous. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Sb1413. So:
- An information center is a place where information is given out to tourists/visitors. So libraries, archives and similar institutions are not information centers. Is that correct? Because now the Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center is a subcategory.
Question Wouldn't it be more clear to rename and/or merge this category into Category:Tourist centers or Category:Tourist information centres? Are there any information centers that are not tourist centers?
- A visitor center is a combination of tourist center and a (touristic) place of interest (somewhat broader than just museums, is that correct?).
- So this category should stay a subcategory (or grandchild, like now, child of Tourist offices) of the first one.
- But now Category:Almaguin Highlands Information Centre is a subcategory of Category:Information centers, so that should be moved to this one?
- An information center is a place where information is given out to tourists/visitors. So libraries, archives and similar institutions are not information centers. Is that correct? Because now the Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center is a subcategory.
- JopkeB (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Sb1413. So:
Keep both. I agree with Sbb1413 that they are distinct. Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers, but not all information centers are visitor or tourist centers. If FEMA sets up a trailer in the wake of a disaster providing information to citizens about how to get supplies and apply for assistance, that is an information center but I don't think we'd consider it a visitor/tourist center. At the courthouse, there is a small office near the entrance has an "Information" sign and helps folks figure out where the courtroom they need is, or which office they need to go to for the business they have. That might cater to visitors to the building but it doesn't really make sense to call it a visitor center as the courthouse isn't really a touristic place...it is really an information center. Josh (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Conclusions and actions
- Both categories should stay because they are about distinct subjects.
- An information center is a place where information is given out to visitors, not necessarily being tourists. Example: visitors of a courthouse.
- Libraries, archives and similar institutions are not information centers. Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center should be removed as a subcategory.
- Category:Information centers should not be renamed to Category:Tourist centers or Category:Tourist information centres because they are not all for tourists.
- A visitor center is a combination of tourist center and a (touristic) place of interest, like a museum.
- Visitor centres may be a sub-cat of Information centers.
Actions to be taken:
- Add descriptions to both categories.
- Category:Angeles City Library and Information Center should be removed as a subcategory from Category:Information centers.
- Take care that the category structure is correct.
- Category:Almaguin Highlands Information Centre should be moved from Category:Information centers to Category:Visitor centres.

Overcategorization in Category:Space Jam
Huge amount (+100) of metacats created for Space Jam made by an IP user, most of which are empty or only contain one file (Space Jam including all its subcategories has about 20 files in total). This affects other franchises as well (Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, The Lego Movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and Scoob!) for which I made separate CfD's.
All of these should be deleted.

- This one is more tricky. At least Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) characters has a lot of subcategories. My advise: delete only the empty ones and the ones with only one or two subcategories. JopkeB (talk) 07:07, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand that category. Many of the subcats are explicitly mentioning a completely different TV show released 30 years ago. What are they even doing here? Trade (talk) 00:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- And why are Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series) a subcategory of Category:Leonardo (2012, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)? And Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) cast a subcat of Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series)??

Most categories were deleted, a few were kept ReneeWrites (talk) 19:55, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Category:RED ƎYE
Category and all its subcats should be renamed to "Red Eye" to comply with Commons' category naming guidelines (COM:CATNAME). The category also contains an excessive amount of subcategories that should be trimmed extensively, to name one example see Category:RED ƎYE characters by body part and all its subcats. ReneeWrites (talk) 11:09, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi ReneeWrites,
- The official spelling of our company is "RED ƎYE" (in capital letters) but we had to register it with the spelling "RED 3YE" since the character "Ǝ" is not accepted by the French administration. "RED EYE" is only used for pronunciation but might match other companies. If using capital letters goes against the rules, we are fine with using lowercase instead, but using "3" instead of "Ǝ" is more appropriate than using "E".
- In all cases, we will comply with your rules and choices
- As for the categories, we based ourselves on general categories to establish an identical scheme, with the desire in mind to be as accurate as possible. We still have files to upload but perhaps should we have published them first and created the categories after. If we have not acted in the right way, please accept our apologies. We remain attentive to your advice.
- Anyway, we are stopping our edits for the moment, waiting for all this to be resolved and in order to avoid wasting time if our work has to be deleted.
- Thanks for your understanding,
- Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 06:32, 1 June 2024 (UTC)- @REDƎYE: I appreciate your reply (both here and in the Village Pump). Having the categories renamed as Red3ye or Red 3ye would be okay too, if that has your preference I'll change that in the original post.
- It's generally speaking best practise to upload files first and then diffuse after if the categories get too big, yes. It's also more beneficial to people who are looking for certain files to have short category trees rather than very long ones, so they're able to find what they're looking for more quickly (or if they're looking for something that isn't there, to be able to find that out more quickly as well). I didn't ask for all these categories to be deleted after all, just for them to be trimmed. Trade made a helpful propsal of what that could look like below.
- Between this CfD and the deletion discussion that was posted to your page a month ago, I'm sorry if Commons has been a stressful experience for you lately. ReneeWrites (talk) 18:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't agree with either name. Commons categories are supposed to use generally used titles and names, not whatever stylizing that the company decided to use in marketing Trade (talk) 13:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Trade,
- What would you suggest?
- Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)- Red Eye (company) Trade (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Trade,
- Thanks for your reply
- The problem is that it's not the correct spelling. As we indicated above, we were declared to the French administration under the name Red 3ye Productions (the "3" replacing the unauthorized "Ǝ "). You can check it here, as well as on any other recognized register. If the decision is to call us Red Eye despite everything, we will accept it, but it will cause confusion with other companies bearing this name (the choice of "E"/"3" was precisely made to distinguish us).
- Thanks for your understanding,
- Kind regards,
RED🔴ƎYE (talk) 03:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Red Eye (company) Trade (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi ReneeWrites,
- You are welcome
- Regarding the name, we just checked on the official records, it would be exactly Red 3ye Productions ().
- As for categories, from how many files is it advisable to subcategorize? Thanks to Trade for taking the time to make this proposal.
- As for this CfD and the deletion discussion, we understand the process so that's ok, don't mention it
- Kind regards,

- @JopkeB: --Trade (talk) 00:42, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Agree that there is "an excessive amount of subcategories that should be trimmed extensively". I see way too many categories:
- with only subcategories and no files, or even with only one subcategory;
- with only one or a few files.
- This makes the category tree unnecessarily long and you have to click a lot to get what you are looking for. JopkeB (talk) 03:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Delete Or support? These categories are totally unhelpful regardless. Someone might want to do a deletion request for the entries on Wikidata's end once the categories are dealt with to. Since I don't think they are any more helpful on Wikidata's end then here. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Delete most;
Oppose some merges. These files are all solely associated with the "BoOzy OS' and the Cristal Gem" animation. As far as I'm aware, the creator has no other works on Commons. (There's also a deletion request ongoing for a substantial amount of this content, which may render some of the discussion moot; see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by REDƎYE) We do not need to multiply categorize these files under the animation, the creator, and the specific characters or locations depicted; as such:
- Logos should all be merged to Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem logos.
- Banners should all be merged to Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem website banners.
- "Cristal Gem Zone" images can be merged to Category:Cristal Gem Zone screenshots, but that should be a direct subcategory of Category:BoOzy’ OS screenshots. The additional levels of categorization involving Category:OSmic the Hedgeh’ OS are unnecessary.
- Character categories should all be merged to Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem characters. While some of these characters may have appeared in other works, that's not where these specific files came from.
- Omphalographer (talk) 07:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
This is specifically in reply to the proposal from @Trade:
I would argue to Keep the following categories, because they have enough content to justify their existence:
- Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem logos
- Category:BoOz to the Future RIP banners
- Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem RIP banners
- Category:BoOzy’ OS and the Cristal Gem RIP special banners
- Category:Cristal in The Cristal Gem 10th anniversary screenshots
As subcategories of Category:RED ƎYE characters:
- Category:Aud’ OS
- Category:BoOzy’ OS (character)
- Category:The Cockbitosaurus (character)

- Maybe it isn't clear, but if an image goes into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners that doesn't mean one needs to create a Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners in Basque for that file. One just adds it into Category:RED ƎYE Pictures banners and Category:Basque-language banners. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Enhancing999: That would be rather foolish of me to do if that was a category I listed and an argument I made, but I haven't, and didn't. Maybe before you start being incredibly condescending to other Commons users, make sure you're actually replying to something they said, and not something you just made up. Preferably though you keep that attitude to yourself and just reply like a normal person instead, even if I did make a mistake. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:00, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you have an objection to the categories I listed specifically, please do so, but you can do so in a polite manner. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe I should have started with TLD. It's an observation on the subcategories created (not by you), not something you wrote (or "Trade" did, for some reason their name is the default edit summary).
- Clearly it does seem what happened if one goes through ca. 60 categories with 1 file each. Possibly the same with all others. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

CLOSING IN PROGRESS These are virtually all going to be deleted, but it's a time intensive process that spans multiple projects. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

- Just for the record: in How many files and/or subcategories should a Commons category at least have? the conclusion after a long discussion was that there is no agreement about the minimum number of files in a (sub-)category. So to me it seems useless to start that discussion all over again. --JopkeB (talk) 04:30, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- That's the general question, but for this specific field and user (and its imitator(s)), I think we can provide some guidance (which I think I did). We need to keep this sane for users. (BTW, I do appreciate the cleanup done here). Enhancing999 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Category:Football
It is currently a dab pointing to different types of football. While I agree that the term "football" is ambiguous globally, it does not mean that we cannot use this term as a container for all types of football. Because of the current situation of this category, categories like Football organizations and Football by location have remained as "orphan" categories without any connection to the parent topic.

Category:Cucumis sativus by country
What is the difference between Category:Cucumis sativus by country and Category:Cucumbers by country? Can these two categories be merged? (The last one to stay because that is more clear for me and I guess for a lot of other people.) JopkeB (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- My best understanding is that Cucumis sativus is the plant as a whole and 'cucumber' is the fruit of the plant. I'm very confused as to exactly where the scientific name for a species is used and where the common name for it is used. However, what is definitely not correct is using both as is done in several of the sub-cats of this one. Josh (talk) 08:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Joshbaumgartner: So in principle these two categories are about two different things and should both stay.
- The subcategories in Category:Cucumis sativus by country that indeed are about the plant can stay, like for Austria (and I guess for England, though there is a mix of plants and fruits).
- The subcategories in Category:Cucumis sativus by country that are only about the fruit should be renamed.
- It looks like the subcategories of Category:Cucumbers by country are indeed about the fruit, so no need for changes there.
- Am I right? JopkeB (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- @JopkeB I would agree with that. I've kind of skirted species categorization questions so far as it seems kind of its own community and biology was my least preferred science class so I feel under-equipped to discuss scientific categorization there. However, what you are saying makes sense, so unless someone from that community wants to correct us, I would be fine with your plan. Thanks, Josh (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

17:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Delete As I said, this person passed away 18 years ago. If the category wasn't populated yet, it won't be populated too soon. So , in my opinion, it should be deleted. If, at any point, an image appears under a free license that is uploaded to the project, simply recreate the category. Minerva97 (talk) 17:22, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment @Mdaniels5757: please don't misquote me. The speedy deletion criteria is "[if] a category is empty and is obviously unusable, unlikely to be ever meaningfully used", and as such a WD attached category is less likely to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. This deletion process is what I pointed the user to use if they felt that a deletion was necessary. I have no specific knowledge nor attachment to the category. I will note that I also don't typically see much point in hastening these linked categories to death as it doesn't particularly serve a functional purpose and any re-creation also requires a relinking at WD, and recategorisation, so it is more than "simply recreate" [all of which is not a long conversation for here.] — billinghurst sDrewth 12:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Roofing by material
What is the difference between Category:Roofing by material and Category:Roofs by material? Can both get descriptions showing the difference OR can both be merged? JopkeB (talk) 07:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Merge Category:Roofing by material into Category:Roofs by material "Roofing" is not a topic on Commons, so it doesn't make sense to have an index category of roofing. It seems an inadvertent duplication of the correct category, which is a useful index of the existing topic, Roofs. Josh (talk) 07:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Human activities in Israel
"Category:Activities in Israel" is full of human activities which are not subcategories of this category. Categories about Israel are, in general, a mess! 186.175.135.50 22:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Travels into the Unknown
If this collection of Maastricht is really named in English, I suggest renaming the categoriy as "Travels into the Unknown collection (Maastricht)". If the official name is in Dutch, I suggest keeping that one. Otherwise, this category name is prone to attract unwanted additions that have nothing to do with the library (like this one). Enyavar (talk) 21:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Agree This category should be renamed. It looks like it is a collection with an English name, I cannot find a name in Dutch. I did find another website, Wikidata GLAM project Travels into the unknown (and there are many about a student using this collection for her thesis). Perhaps: "Travels into the Unknown (Maastricht University Library collection)"? It is a long name, but it says exactly what it is. JopkeB (talk) 06:21, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Cyanistes caeruleus (low quality)
- see previous discussion at: Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/01/Category:Cyanistes caeruleus (low quality)
Rename category to Category:Low quality images of Cyanistes caeruleus to match other low quality images by subject categories (e.g. Category:Low quality images of cats) in compliance with the Universality Principle. Josh (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- @JopkeB, @A1Cafel, @MPF, pinging participants at previous discussion on this category. Josh (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Disagree - when dealing with scientific name taxa it makes much better sense to have the taxon name first, e.g. it sorts the subcategories better in Cat-a-lot and HotCat. There are numerous other similar examples, e.g. Category:Pinus nigra (low quality) (and compare also similar categories for images where the taxon is present but not the main subject, such as Category:Pinus nigra (incidental)). - MPF (talk) 17:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- MPF is right, see Category:Low quality images of plants: all these subcategories have the format Category:Scientific plant name (low quality) or Category:Scientific plant name (low quality images). So I agree that it is better not to rename this category. JopkeB (talk) 05:12, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Question @JopkeB, @MPF, does the logic for using the "Topic (image type)" format only apply to scientific names? If so, can you elaborate on how it is different from other topics? I ask because there are ongoing discussions about how we structure and name media categories in general, so this insight may be valuable to consider in those discussions. Josh (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I fear I've never stopped to think about that! Being a taxonomist, I don't in my editing ever deal with e.g. cat pics.
- But one other, very important, point, is brevity: the shorter the category name, the better, as long as it is easily understood. Long category names make Cat-a-lot in particular almost impossible to use, as the width of the pop-up covers over many, or even most, of the files one is trying to select to recategorise. It isn't good with Hot Cat, either. - MPF (talk) 22:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I fear I've never stopped to think about that! Being a taxonomist, I don't in my editing ever deal with e.g. cat pics.
Comment Regardless of the order chosen, (low quality) should be changed to (low quality images) to make it clear what the category represents. We aren't collecting low quality plants, but low quality images of plants that may themselves be of quite high quality. Josh (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but again, I'd disagree: mainly on the principle of brevity mentioned above, but also one might want to use the (low quality) subcategory for dumping out poor audio or video files (e.g. if you can barely hear the named bird above background hiss). I doubt very much whether anyone would ever be confused by the meaning. - MPF (talk) 22:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Opera vocalists
Opera vocalist is not the terminology most widely used in common English or in major reference works. The term "opera singer" is commonly used both in speech and in reference works on the subject, such as The Grove Book of Opera Singers. The english language wikipedia categories all use the word singer. The entire category tree should be modified accordingly. Commons should mirror the English language wiki categories which were made by WikiProject Opera. On a side note, I actually have worked as a professional opera singer and I find the phrase "opera vocalist" odd, even if its is technically correct. 4meter4 (talk) 02:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- "Opera vocalist" is indeed awkward and unnatural. I agree that the more typical "Opera singer" seems vastly more suitable. Aza24 (talk) 03:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- See Category:Singers: it gives a redirect to Category:Vocalists. So on Commons we use the term "Vocalists", not "Singers", how awkward and unnatural it may sound. Though, it looks like that redirect was made with the creation of the category in 2007. My conclusion is that there never was a proper discussion about it. But then we should discuss it on the level of Category:Vocalists, not here. And it would be very much work to change that properly, because all the subcategories, grandchilds and so on, should also be changed. I wonder whether this is worth it. So my opinion is: Keep it the way it is. JopkeB (talk) 07:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- And close. 186.173.236.245 12:48, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
Because of the Universality principle, this category name cannot be changed to "Opera singers", unless all the categories in the category structure of Category:Vocalists will be renamed the same way. So there will be no changes yet. --JopkeB (talk) 07:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Category:Superstraight
As far as I'm aware the whole "Super Straight" thing was mainly a transphobic internet meme that never took off. All the images in the category seem to be completely made up or copyrighted to. As there is no "Super Straight" flag outside of a few internet transphobic online message boards. It's by no means official or widely used outside of transphobic circles though. So my suggestion is that the images in this category be deleted along with files. Or at least the category be deleted and the files in it up-merged to Category:Controversial sexual and gender identities. I don't think we need a whole category just for a bunch of duplicate images of a transphobic and fake meme flag though. Adamant1 (talk) 06:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Keep the overall vibe I get is “I find this offensive”. Commons isn’t censored, so that’s invalid. There are plenty of absolutely non-notable made-up orientations and pride flags here so the argument that a concept we know exists “in the wild” is too obscure to be covered is also invalid. And even if you deleted a bunch of redundant ones you’d still have enough for a category. Also none of these files are copyrightable, even the google trends chart which is simple facts and data shown in an auto-generated graph that required no creative effort. Dronebogus (talk) 07:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Your vibe is wrong. I could really care less about it personally outside of it not being an actual, official concept. Nor do the files even really have anything to do with it either. Since again, the flag is completely fictional and that's essentially all there is in the category. Nice try making this about me though. I'd like to think it would be possible to discuss the actual merits of having a category for something like this without you treating me like I started it just because I'm offended by the thing. You can't just use Commons not being censored or hide behind fake claims of my feelings about this as an excuse to keep a category that serves no purpose and goes against the projects goals either. That's not how this works.
- I think you could make an argument for keeping the category if it contained files that were actually about the whole "superstright" thing to begin with. But there's no point in having one for it if the only things on here related to the concept is a couple of images of fake flags. There's no reason they can't just be upmerged. The category is essentially worthless when it comes to anything actually having to do with the "superstraight" thing though. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Firstly, there is no need to get inordinately offended about me saying I think you’re offended. Secondly, It’s not an “actual official concept”, but it is an actual hoax/neologism. Thirdly, there’s no need to try and delete a category that you’re currently trying to empty anyway. As long as at least two images exist the category is valid. If most or all the images are deleted, then of course the category would serve no purpose. But right now this is purely redundant. Dronebogus (talk) 10:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- "it is an actual hoax/neologism." Is it though and how would that even matter? Neologisms aren't inherently worth having seperate cateogries for and this has been around for at least a few years now with essentially zero buy in for it outside of a couple of posts on 4chan. If you look for "superstraight flag" on Google image search there doesn't seem to be any images of the "flags" actually being used IRL anywhere either. So I really don't see how this is an actual thing outside of being a barely notable meme. It wouldn't even be that much to begin with if not for the transphobic element. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- I’m done responding to you here. You can answer me on the individual DRs. I stand by my assertion that this is a pointless and invalid nomination because the category is still serving an objective purpose. Dronebogus (talk) 10:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- OK. I'd still appreciate an answer about why you wouldn't support the images that are left after the DRs being upmerged though since I think I've provided plenty of evidence for why its not an actual thing regardless of if there are images related to it or not. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Keep. It should be ignored whether the sexuality in question is notable or not, whether it is offensive or not, whether it is a product of the far-right or not. Besides from the fact that Commons is not censored, if we analyze its existence in a purely technical manner it is evident that the category meets the requirements to continue existing, more specifically the 4th point of Commons:Category inclusion criteria: it is part of a diffusion scheme. Note to the nominator that there are several relevant categories in Category:Superstraight and, if it gets deleted, the files currently in it would be spread across various categories, making their finding costly. By the way, most if not all of the files are being nominated for deletion by this nominator; I can guarantee here that at least one will be kept, as it is below the threshold of originality in the United States, and at least
one flagfour flags must be kept, asit isthey are Commons:In use. Thanks, RodRabelo7 (talk) 21:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Can you point out where the guidelines say us not being censored has anything to do with the existence of specific categories?
- It doesn't, that's why I used "besides".
Also, where exactly have I said this has anything to with it being offensive?
- I'd say when you used the word "transphobic" five times throughout this discussion.
- RodRabelo7 (talk) 22:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe it's just an American English thing, but to me "besides" has the connotation of "in addition to." In other words, "in addition to the fact that Commons is not censored, if we analyze its existence in a purely technical manner" makes it sound like your saying the category should be kept because we anti-censorship "in addition to" the technical aspects. I don't really see why you'd bring it if you didn't think it was relevant to keeping the category or not either. Thanks for clarifying it though.

- The "transphobic" thing is simply a description of the origins of the thing. Since I think the context is important to the question of it deserves a separate, individual category outside of other non-notable, niche memes on here that don't have one. The claim that my mention of it being transphobic has anything to do with it being offensive is simply you reading to much into it. As I already mentioned to Dronebogous "I could really care less about it personally outside of it not being an actual, official concept." --Adamant1 (talk) 22:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. In order to make it clear, I'll try to rewrite it: "It should be ignored whether the sexuality in question is notable or not, whether it is offensive or not, whether it is a product of the far-right or not; Commons is not censored, period. [Furthermore,] if we analyze its existence [blah blah blah]." RodRabelo7 (talk) 22:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Keep If your issue is that you believe the content files to be out of scope, then you should raise a deletion request for those. So long as they are on Commons, however, this appears to be a valid category for them to be under. If they do get deleted at some point and this category is empty as a result, it can be deleted at that time. Josh (talk) 08:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Big cities
How does one define “big cities” (population? 100000 seems rather small; how about area?). Unless a clearer guideline is provided I see no point in this and all subcategories. (They seem to be the sole work of User:Sbb1413 modified by User:Verdy p). Qualitätssicherung (talk) 12:44, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Weak delete— Cities are generally defined by population (or population density) and not by area, unless you are talking about countries where "city" is just an honorific of an urban settlement. In India, cities are defined as urban settlements with a population above a lakh (100,000). German towns with a population above 100,000 are also called cities. So, the category Category:Big cities might be useless for countries whose minimum city population is 100,000. However, it might be useful for countries where "city" is just an honorific of an urban settlement, like the UK. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)- Also, it is based on the Wikidata item on big cities, which is widely used in different city items. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- It is also based on the classification used in OpenStreetMap. The criteria is effectively not the area but the population, but it is dependent of countries: within very populated countries, the criteria of population for distinguishing "big cities" from others is higher, but they tend to merge to a common criteria based on world population data. Strictly speaking, it is not referring to "administrative units" (whose land area which changes over time by splitting/slicing/merging them), but on urbanisation criterias whose evolution is much slower and independent of administrative units ever changing due to local politics or laws (for example, where do you define the limits of London, Paris, Shangai, or New york City to count "their" population? The "municipal" population is not relevant here for geographic classification, urban and environmental planning, communications...). verdy_p (talk) 15:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Since all big cities in that category are in country-sub-categories could changing the parent-category definition/description to something like "big cities as per the definition of the respective countries" solve the problem? Instead of using a random number for population like 100,000 or some sort of area parameter, just say "a big city in the US is whatever the US define to be a 'big city'" and if Italy uses a different measure then that's perfectly fine because it's their right to have their own understanding of what constitutes a "big city" - be it population or area. Nakonana (talk) 11:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Delete This is a mushy category that doesn't offer a particularly valuable distinction. We can of course adopt the 100k line as an arbitrary boundary, but that won't necessarily comport with what a lot of users may be looking for if they are looking for "big" cities. The discussion over what constitutes a 'city' and how to measure its size is immediately apparent if one starts researching cities by population or any other measure. Also, cities and their populations are constantly changing. In the end, I'm not sure of the value of sorting images based on the population of a city, but if we are going to do it and use arbitrary lines, we should name the category accordingly, so rename this one to Cities with over 100000 residents or something clear like that, not just "big". Josh (talk) 09:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Delete this and the related Category:Small cities. I had created this category since the classification is present in Wikidata and OSM. However, as Josh has pointed out, it is unnecessary to sort files based on the population of a city, which changes constantly. Also, "big" and "small" are problematic terms to use in Commons. I will propose my settlement hierarchy in an upcoming CFD. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:53, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Category:Actors by role
Category spam, courtesy of the same IP user who made the categories in Space Jam, Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, The Lego Movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and Scoob!
None of the subcategories herein contain any media, and rather than categorizing media they create abstract (and often circular) relationships between categories instead. Every single one of them should be deleted, as well as the main category.
-- ReneeWrites (talk) 19:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Trim to notable characters only There's nothing wrong with creating a category pertaining to those people closely associated with a fictional character -- I've actually done this with comics characters. Category:People associated with Spider-Man is one example, which is subdivided into writers and artists who have worked on the character, and actors who have portrayed them. But in each of those charcters, the character is a major one, which has its own Wikipedia article. I know that the Commons is a separate site, but there needs to be some type of standard, and notability seems like a good one. Right right now, the subcats in the Actors by role cat looks like it's filled with non-notable character, or characters who part of an ensemble show, movie, or book that's notable by itself, and who are not notable individually, and some of them look like they're empty of content. I say trim those who do not have their Wikipedia artice, or which have minimal or empty content that is subcategoried elsewhere. Nightscream (talk) 21:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- The standard is typically that works or characters created by a specific person get subcategorized under that person's name. That person doesn't become a subcategory of their own creations. So e.g. "Spider-Man" as a subcategory of "Characters created by Stan Lee" would be valid, and would not create a circular structure. "Stan Lee" as a subcategory of "People associated with Spider-Man" would. (Being associated with something is also a very fuzzy and ill-defined term, whereas being a writer, artist or actor is far less so).
- To take another example, Category:Spider-Man actors is a category with 190 entries that contains everyone who has ever played any role in any Spider-Man film. If there is a lot of media of a specific actor playing a specific role, it can get subcategorized as "[Actor] as [character]" - the creation becomes a subcategory of the creator. The actor himself would not become, in his entirety, a subcategory of that role. ReneeWrites (talk) 16:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Delete per nomination. — WFinch (talk) 22:16, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete per nomination. I came here by instance because of Category:Princess Peach interpreters which is a good example what happens in the subcategories of the nominated category. This one only has 2 subcategories of persons (Category:Jen Taylor, Category:Anya Taylor-Joy) which both have Category:Princess Peach as subcategories themselves. So this category only leads to two new neverending category circles. If anyone wants to break the circle they would have to take the subcategories out of Category:Princess Peach interpreters so that it would be empty then and could be speedily deleted. Therefore, I thought about a deletion request and then found this one. Delete all such circle categories, not only the supercategory of those, also delete Category:Princess Peach interpreters and all others of that type. They only fill the maintenance categories (this category is f. i.on 3 maintenance pages) for category circles and so waste time of people on Commons. Categories should only have one clear direction downwards. —176.1.5.123 08:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Why aren’t these circle categories already deleted? This DR is one year old now and I only see deletion comments. Nobody thinks that these categories would be useful in any way or that category circles are of any use and those circles are against Commons rules. Why does it take so long to decide this DR then? These circles should be broken soon, they only are a waste of time for all users who find them. —176.1.5.123 08:27, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
Comment given that we are a collection of media, not a collection of facts, I could see a value to categories like Category:Actors portraying Hamlet (rather than the current Category:Hamlet interpreters, where we have Category:Ștefan Iordache even though we don't have a single image of Iordache as Hamlet) or even Category:Actors portraying Spiderman (where I'll admit to not caring), but I gather that is not what we have here. I lean heavily toward delete, but don't feel I understand this part of the hierarchy well enough to be the one who pulls the trigger. - Jmabel ! talk 20:00, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Thanks for taking the time to look into this. There's relevant media in the Hamlet interpreters category as well as a few related categories (Macbeth & Richard III) so I agree those shouldn't be deleted, although the category names are problematic. "Actors portraying Hamlet" would work better, you're less at risk there that people would put actor categories in their entirety under it even if they contain no relevant media. As for naming structures, here's Category:David Garrick as Macbeth and Category:Leo Nucci in the role of Macbeth which are both decently named. ReneeWrites (talk) 20:20, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Delete Pointless minutia in category form. Commons categories aren't suppose to be a complete recreation or whatever of everything having to do with a particular subject. Really the some goes for the Wikidata entries, which someone should nominate for deletion on Wikidata's end once the categories are dealt with. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Category spam, courtesy of the same IP user who made the categories in Space Jam, Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse, The Lego Movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby-Doo and Scoob!
None of the subcategories herein contain any media, and rather than categorizing media they create abstract (and often circular) relationships between categories instead. Every single one of them should be deleted, as well as the main category.

Delete all. Upmerge the files in Glenn Close characters. Enhancing999 (talk) 09:47, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Delete all. Totally pointless trivia. Categories exist to organize media, not act as a store of trivial information. There's already Wikidata and Wikipedia for that. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:49, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
