May 24[edit]

Template:Hl1[edit]

Barely-used table cell templates, not really sure what they are, why they exist, or why they have such cryptic names. Primefac (talk) 17:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:HLA database link[edit]

This template is broken, and I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. The creator has been inactive for a decade, and it's only used on a couple of dozen pages. The URL does lead to a live website, but clearly they have changed their search schema and I can't even find the name of what I'm supposed to be looking for. If this can be fixed, great, but otherwise it needs to be binned as broken. Primefac (talk) 16:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:New Blood Interactive[edit]

Navbox about a small publisher of video games. Different developers, different gameplay, games listed aren't related besides being brought to market by the same company. WP:NENAT. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


Template:FC Universitatea Cluj seasons[edit]

Navbox with only four blue links in the body. Not useful for navigation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:FC Kagura Shimane[edit]

Navbox with only three blue links. Not useful for navigation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep. Three blue links are useful. Jonashtand (talk) 12:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. GiantSnowman 19:33, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, three or fewer blue links is not useful. GiantSnowman 19:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Template:FC Botoșani seasons[edit]

Navbox with no main article and zero, one, or two blue links. Not useful for navigation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep those with more than one blue links. Weak keep for those with only one blue link, considering that there is potential for the linked articles be created. Jonashtand (talk) 12:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

File:25th Málaga Film Festival poster.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Asqueladd (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Most posters are copyrighted. However, this poster looks simple, and simple things are not copyrightable because it didn't reach enough originality for protection, because it only contains a circle and some curves with little gradient forming a poster. Kys5g talk! 12:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

See c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Images by Marco Verch. This image is one of many that were used for copyright infringement enforcement requests applying a very strict enforcement regimen on adherence to the CC license. I declined a speedy deletion for this as not fitting any speedy deletion criteria and opted to list here at FFD instead. Whpq (talk) 15:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I was the original nominator. I'm usually on Commons and all Marco Verch images are subject to speedy deletion there, but I understand that it requires a discussion here. Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 16:01, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Categories for discussion[edit]

May 24[edit]

NEW NOMINATIONS[edit]

Category:Cartoon Network stubs[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Stub category no longer populated enough to warrant retention. As always, stub categories need to have a minimum of 60 articles, but after I detagged a handful of articles that were too long to be tagged as stubs at all this went from 25 to 20. It has existed in its current form since 2011, after being deleted as underpopulated in 2007 -- but was then tagged as underpopulated again in 2018, until that template was deleted at TFD, so it's not entirely clear that it was ever really adequately populated at all.
Even the 20 pages that are here are a bit of a random grab bag, as it's populated mainly by video game or album tie-ins to Cartoon Network programming and/or foreign channels that franchised Cartoon Network or Boomerang branding, rather than things that actually have much to do with the Category:United States television stubs parent -- so it's not at all clear that there are actually very many things that could be added here to get it back over 60 articles again. It's not generally standard practice, at any rate, to stub-tag things for overly specific associations like particular TV networks; WikiProject Cartoon Network already has project templates on the talk pages anyway, so this isn't serving any important purpose that isn't already being served elsewhere. Bearcat (talk) 01:21, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Delete or merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 20:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Modern serif typefaces[edit]

Propose renaming Category:Modern serif typefaces to Category:Didone serif typefaces
Nominator's Rationale: Didone is a more common term for this typeface classification. (Didone (typography)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jothefiredragon (talk • contribs)

Wingate Bulldogs women's basketball‎[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Both of the categories exist for one member, Ginny Boggess. Qwerfjkltalk 16:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Battles by location in Germany[edit]

Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. See also recent precedents. NLeeuw (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Showrunners of animated shows[edit]

Nominator's rationale: I made a mistake when I created this category. We consistently use the term series and not show to describe TV, so it should be changed for consistency. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 15:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys football seasons[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Category lacks subjects Let'srun (talk) 13:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Battles of the Byzantine–Bulgarian Wars in Thrace[edit]

Nominator's rationale: WP:MILMOS#BATTLESIN. See also recent precedents. NLeeuw (talk) 13:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Battles involving the Medes[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Each of the battles in this category took place during the existence of the Median kingdom (c. 678 BCE–c. 550 BCE), namely in 614 BCE or later. It is better to categorise battles by states involved than with the people dominating that state, unless they had no state of their own, but the Medes did have this kingdom throughout this period. NLeeuw (talk) 13:01, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Interleague play[edit]

Nominator's rationale: Contents are mostly about historical MLB rivalries, not about interleague play. All of these can be found in Category:Major League Baseball rivalries or in the categories of respective leagues (MLB and NPB). Omnis Scientia (talk) 11:59, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:2010s in Sidon[edit]

Nominator's rationale: merge, only one article in this category, which is not helpful for navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Upmerge for now without prejudice. NLeeuw (talk) 16:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Works set in abandoned buildings and structures[edit]

Nominator's rationale: rename, this is follow-up after this earlier discussion, it is a first trial nomination. The word "setting" is only or mainly used in the context of fiction. With non-fiction we use "works about" rather than "works set in". The proposal is to rename the subcategories and purge any non-fiction that is still in them. I don't think there is any non-fiction in the currently nominated subcategory though. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
@LaundryPizza03, Zxcvbnm, RevelationDirect, and Jc37: pinging contributors to previous discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Commment/Question I agree "set" implies fiction. One possible alternative to changing the (potential) scope might be to change the wording. Looking at Category:Television shows by location, which includes tons of allegedly non-fiction reality shows, would Category:Works located in abandoned buildings and structures work as an alternative? (This is a sincere question, I'm open to either approach so long as we follow this trial nomination with renaming the rest.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Literary non-fiction also includes setting as a defining feature. It’s ill advised to move an entire category tree structure that is working. This structure works well for both fiction and non-fiction literature and I see no reason to start differentiating in this way.4meter4 (talk) 13:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Hamas bombers[edit]

Nominator's rationale: "bomber" is not an occupation. User:Namiba 01:41, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Although the category had only 2 members when nominated, it could easily be populated with more. I just added Mohiyedine Sharif, Yahya Ayyash, Samar Sabih, and Nidal Farahat. Most of these were already in Category:Hamas military members. It might be worth re-parenting Category:Hamas bombers to Category:Hamas military members, although that would leave Category:Hamas members by role pretty much empty. I think it is quite a redundant layer anyway; we could Upmerge it to Category:Hamas members instead. NLeeuw (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2024 (UTC)


Redirects for discussion[edit]

May 24[edit]

Semi-Protection[edit]

Previously deleted at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 March 15#Semi-protection → Wikipedia:Protection policy; WP:CSD#G4 declined by Hey man im josh due to the discussion being 16 years old. Similar to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 May 24#Full protection below, with mentions at History of Wikipedia and Vandalism on Wikipedia. Mia Mahey (talk) 18:52, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Just commenting to state that I did indeed decline the G4 tag, though that tag was valid. I did so because it's a 16 year old discussion with only a single participant other than the nominator. This discussion may very well end the same way, and that's fine if it does, but I thought this was worth discussing to see if there is consensus to uphold the old result or whether the perception of the usefulness of this redirect has changed. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Never Gonna Dance Again (song)[edit]

Current lyrics (?) not mentioned at target, retarget to dab at Never Gonna Dance Again as ambiguous. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:11, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Full protection[edit]

WP:XNR only linked from one talk page archive. Solo climbing and Protected intersection both have sections titled "Full protection". Mia Mahey (talk) 04:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Pātītī[edit]

Not mentioned in target. Most google results suggest this is first a kind of axe and only secondarily a (different) grass, Microlaena stipoides. See e.g. dictionary entry Rusalkii (talk) 03:41, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete. It is now mentioned at the target. However, it is a Maori common name that has been recorded for 3 species of grasses [3] as well as perennial grasses in general [4]. Use as a general term for grasses takes this into WP:FORRED territory. Plantdrew (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Center for Transpacific Studies[edit]

Not mentioned in target. May be appropriate to include since it does seem to be a center of the university, but unclear to me if it is due weight; no objections to keeping the redirect if the subject is added to the article. Rusalkii (talk) 03:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Miscellany for deletion[edit]

See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion, as MfD uses subpages for the nominations like AfD but places them within the process's main page.

Speedy deletion[edit]
