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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: {{r from external link}} has been deleted, so I believe this is eligible for speedy deletion under WP:C4, but 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:D69:7CF2:4B8A:3610 contested this because Liz recently tagged the category with {{emptycat}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 21:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy is only intended for uncontroversial deletions, and the recent tagging demonstrates that deletion is not uncontroversial. There was limited discussion of these cases previously with some feeling that pages tagged with Template:Emptycat should never be eligible for C4, and others being OK if the template was a holdover from a past time that was no longer applicable. Regardless, given the timing here C4 should not be used.
Anyway, XFD is flatly better to speedy deletion in every aspect except volume management, and the clearer consensus created by discussion is often of value going forward. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BCD7:AA73:70F1:F07C (talk) 23:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I created the now-deleted rcat template and companion category several years ago because consensus at the time was that we should maintain malformed incoming link targets. This largely had to do with a bug in Reddit markup which caused some links with trailing punctuation to omit a closing parenthesis in the actual hyperlink, which meant that links from Reddit to Wikipedia pages with parenthetical disambiguators were frequently broken. That bug seems to have long since been corrected. Consensus now seems to be that we should let any remaining malformed incoming links rot instead, and so such redirects will generally always be deleted (unless some other rcat applies), and this category will always be empty.

  • Delete This is a clear C4 case, and shouldn't have been declined. Which is one of the rare cases I disagree with the IP above - we usually have very similar views on speedy deletions. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, this shouldn't be a defining redirect category and having an "external link" is not a reason to maintain a redirect; more suitable rcats should be used where appropriate. Utopes (talk / cont) 16:44, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic literature

[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: merge as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An unnecessary group of subcategories made by the same blocked disruptive user. There are not enough actual pages to merit the existence of subcategories, and they can easily fit within the parent category. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:35, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: They should all be dual-merged into the matching "Star Wars X" or "X based on Star Wars" parent categories as well if necessary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:24, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Zxcvbnm: Just to make sure I am not putting words into your mouth, are you proposing a manual merge to "Star Wars X" or "X based Star Wars" categories (if appropriate), followed by a bot-performed merge to Category:Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I believe that's what I meant. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
