January 2023
- Anti-de Sitter space: nominated at RM; New name: Anti–de Sitter space 10:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: It is impossible to tell from search whether this is usually spelled with a hyphen or an en dash, but MOS:PREFIXDASH calls for an en dash since de Sitter is one name.
- Template:RM notification: nominated at RM; New name: Template:RM notice 10:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with similar notices such as Template:AfD notice; the target is currently occupied by a redirect to Template:Title notice.
- Jupiter LI: nominated at AfD; notified Vluebben (talk · contribs) 01:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: At Talk:Moons of Jupiter#Should we stop creating articles for newly-discovered irregular moons?, users expressed concerns about a huge number of stubs about small Jovian and Saturnian moons for which no nontrivial information is available. There are 84 known moons of Jupiter at time of writing, and it is estimated that there are about 600 retrograde irregular moons larger than 0.8 km.[1]In particular, this moon fails WP:NASTRO and WP:GNG. In particular, there are no papers at Google Scholar that focus specifically on this moon and are not coauthored by the discoverers.
- Eirene (moon): nominated at AfD; notified Patteroast (talk · contribs) 06:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: :Ersa (moon) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):Eupheme (moon) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):Pandia (moon) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):Philophrosyne (moon) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)Five more unremarkable moons of Jupiter, failing WP:NASTRO and WP:GNG. They were officially named in August 2019 after a Twitter-based IAU voting contest,[2] and the articles contain concerning amounts of personal information about those who voted for the winning names.
- S/2004 S 3: nominated at AfD; notified Urhixidur (talk · contribs) 07:24, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: :S/2004 S 4 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views):S/2004 S 6 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)There is a broad consensus to redirect most of the small moons of Jupiter and moons of Saturn, and this has been done for about half of Jupiter's irregular satellites. Although users seem to support keeping most, if not all, of the inner satellites, these ones haven't even been confirmed to exist, and unconfirmed objects are rarely notable.
- Aoede (mythology): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Aoede 09:41, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title
- Category:People associated with the finite element method: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Inwind (talk · contribs) 20:22, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Classic WP:OCASSOC.
- Wikipedia:TOPTEN: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Overcategorization (notified); notified RevelationDirect (talk · contribs) 20:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: These redirects should point to the same place, or to a new disambiguation page if that is impossible.
- Wikipedia:TOP10: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Top Ten Wikipedias (notified); notified 16@r (talk · contribs) 20:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: These redirects should point to the same place, or to a new disambiguation page if that is impossible.
- Template:Computable knowledge: nominated at TfD; notified Waldyrious (talk · contribs) 22:48, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Navigation box based on WP:OR and with no main article (Computable knowledge does not exist). The "Proposals and implementations" section is particularly arbitrary; it includes everything from Dewey Decimal Classification to Incompleteness theorem to Wikipedia.
- Albiorix (moon): nominated at RM; New name: Albiorix 18:06, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: An attempted WP:PROD at the base-title disambiaguation page was thwarted by the addition of a redlinked genus, but this moon is still the obvious primary topic over two others that don't have standalone articles. The dab page would then be moved to Albiorix (disambiguation).
- Category:Stereotypes of East Asians: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Stereotypes of East Asian people; notified Backendgaming (talk · contribs) 09:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with parallel categories that are not about a specific nationality.
- Yorp: nominated at RM (technical); New name: YORP 12:59, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Both the YORP effect and the asteroid 54509 YORP are universally capitalized; the only unrelated occurences on Wikipedia are a few passing mentions of a fictional species in Commander Keen in Invasion of the Vorticons and an initiative of the National Youth Commission (Philippines).
- Category:Tubman family of Liberia: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Tubman family (Liberia) 13:08, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Standardize disambiguator.
- Category:McGill family of Monrovia: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:McGill family 13:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary, malformed disambiguator; also C2D for McGill family (itself recently moved to an empty base title).
- Municipal Pictures: nominated at RfD; Target: Mark Wahlberg (notified); notified BMA-Nation2020 (talk · contribs) 13:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Category:IIM Alumni: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Indian Institutes of Management alumni; notified Devesh.bhatta (talk · contribs) 01:22, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicate category, one article of which is already in the parent.
- CIA activities in Brazil: nominated at RfD; Target: 1964 Brazilian coup d'état (notified); notified Sandstein (talk · contribs) 01:49, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Possibly too broad for the target article, which is about a specific event in Brazil with known CIA involvement.
- Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect: nominated at RM; New name: YORP effect 01:52, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Based on Google Scholar results, it is likely that more academic literature uses the abbreviation than the rather unwieldy full name, just like NASA and TRIPS Agreement. However, there are no Google Books results about the YORP effect, so it is impossible to compare them using Ngrams.
- Untied Plankton Pictures: nominated at RfD; Target: Stephen Hillenburg (notified); notified Feminist (talk · contribs) 04:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Misspelling of the name of the production company established by Hillenburg.
- Category:Earth-crosser asteroids: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Earth-crossing asteroids 05:05, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Consistency with sibling categories and the main article, List of Earth-crossing asteroids.
- Category:Venus-crosser asteroids: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Venus-crossing asteroids 05:06, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: e.g. Category:Mars-crossing asteroids.
- Category:Venus trojans: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Venus co-orbital minor planets; notified DN-boards1 (talk · contribs) 05:40, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: 2013 ND15 is the only known object of this type. I created the new category to hold this category, plus three more asteroids that are not trojans, and diffuse Category:Co-orbital minor planets.
- Category:Uranus trojans: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Uranus co-orbital minor planets; notified JorisvS (talk · contribs) 05:45, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- List of wars named after animals: nominated at AfD; notified DexDor (talk · contribs) 09:53, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was prodded by me in April 2020 due to failing WP:LISTN and WP:OR, but deprodded without explanation by Andrew Davidson (talk · contribs), who is now banned from deletion-related activities. I'm still confident that this fails LISTN and OR because there are zero relevant search results.
- Category:Fictional gas giants: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional giant planets; notified J 1982 (talk · contribs) 12:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The distinction between a gas giant and a more general giant planet is too small to be relevant to fiction. A gas giant is a giant planet which is mostly hydrogen.
- Bastard (law of England and Wales): nominated at RM; New name: Bastard (law) 13:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Although the term is specific to English and Welsh law, there are no other legal terms from which to disambiguate.
- Kepler-277: nominated at RfD; Target: Kepler-277b (notified); notified Kepler-1229b (talk · contribs) 14:06, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The planet Kepler-277c in the same system also has a standalone article, so it is impossible to redirect the host star to planet b.
- Bret Ryan: nominated at AfD; notified Sapphiirestarr (talk · contribs) 04:10, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per outcome at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 January 12#Bret Ryan (Character), which chose to restore this largely unsourced article about a fanfiction character associated with Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Content is entirely in-universe plot summary, and only source is Fanfiction.net.
- Tom van Vollenhoven Cup: nominated at RfD; Target: Rugby league in South Africa (notified); notified Biglez (talk · contribs) 05:37, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No longer mentioned in this article. Relevant content apparently removed in 2013, but without any clear explanation.
- Template:Periodic table by article work needed: nominated at TfD; notified ST11 (talk · contribs) 09:13, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Outdated WikiProject tracking template that uses a nonstandard ranking system, and is too similar in function to Template:Periodic table by article quality.
February 2023
- Category:Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner 12:40, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Main article is Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, so this is also C2A.
- Category:Group of Seven: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Group of Seven (artists) 13:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Group of Seven at the base title is a redirect to the international organization G7.
- Category:Greek wine appellations: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Greek products with protected designation of origin; notified PanchoS (talk · contribs) 10:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:High-proper-motion stars: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified JorisvS (talk · contribs) 11:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No quantitative definition, failing WP:SUBJECTIVECAT.
- Indian property bubble: nominated at AfD; notified MilindKolekar (talk · contribs) 08:29, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded twice, with the second rationale reading:
The first rationale was:A completely speculative article predicting a collapse based on cherrypicked sources from over the years and equating a price decline to a bubble. WP:CRYSTAL and WP:SYNTH.
— User:2405:201:d002:31a1:b8da:f290:3597:3ba7
There was (and still is) a timeline in the article, but most of the sources that are still accessible do not mention a property bubble or even a collapse in Indian real estate prices, and are instead about random events that "look like" speculation about a property bubble. One source from 2013 discusses a "marginal" decrease — never exceedind 6% on a quarterly basis — in real estate prices in 22 cities in India, whereas there was an increase in 4 others. There is an outdated statement about a predicted collapse in "the next three months" sourced to a 2015 article and another article from 2017.Article lacks timeline and its references date from 2005 to 2019 - does not meet definition of bubble
- Reason: PRODded twice, with the second rationale reading:
- Category:Drugs in Oman: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Health in Oman; notified Goonsquad LCpl Mulvaney (talk · contribs) 14:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT with only one article. It should also be merged to Category:Society of Oman.
- Category:LGBT in Oman: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Gender in Oman; notified AdamPrideTN (talk · contribs) 14:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT that is a near-miss WP:C2F, containing only LGBT rights in Oman. The merge target is the only one that does not already contain the article either directly or in a subcategory.
- Trio (1997 film): nominated at AfD; notified Dotoilage (talk · contribs) 09:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:BLAR in December 2022 that was contested; original rationale was due to lack of notability. See also Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 February 12#Trio (1997 film).
March 2023
- Sasuke Ninja Warrior Indonesia: nominated at AfD; notified Heriska2 (talk · contribs) 19:47, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded in July 2020 due to lacking sources and failing WP:GNG, but the prod was consteted and then the article was unilaterally redirected to Sasuke (TV series). When content related to international editions of Sasuke was removed in January 2023, this page was brought to RfD. Users at the RfD raised concerns over the decision to WP:BLAR this article, and opted to restore this page and bring it to AfD. I have made no attempt of my own to determine if this topic meets GNG, as this is a procedural AfD and secondary sources would primarily be in Indonesian.
- Category:Ecocide: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified BoldLuis (talk · contribs) 02:33, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This category is intended for topics related to ecocide as a notion in international criminal law. None of the pages in the category belonged here, except for the main article.
- Imal Liyanage (cricketer, born 1977): nominated at AfD; notified Bobo192 (talk · contribs) 00:51, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gac: nominated at RM; New name: Gấc 23:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The name of this plant is spelled with Vietnamese diacritics, and this spelling is used throughout the article. A user who did this move in 2021 self-reverted the move without explanation, preventing me from implementing this change unilaterally.
- Metal Masters Tour: nominated at AfD; notified Tenacious D Fan (talk · contribs) 03:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: BLAR'd to Judas Priest in December 2022 due to notability concerns. The redirect was contested at this RfD on February 10 because there were four notable bands featured in this tour (Judas Priest, Motörhead, Heaven & Hell, and Testament), so this could not be redirected anywhere and participants agreed to take the page to AfD.
- Template:SIMBAD DB: nominated at TfD; notified Headbomb (talk · contribs) 02:22, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused and redundant to Template:SIMBAD link.
- Hindu views on evolution: nominated at RM; New name: Hinduism and evolution 07:16, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The latter name is more consistent with the corresponding category, Category:Hinduism and evolution.
- Beaners: nominated at RfD; Target: Biggby Coffee (notified); notified Dwp49423 (talk · contribs) 01:32, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Suggest retargeting to Beaner, like most plurals. The former name of the coffee chain was Beaner's Coffee with the apostrophe on the possessive.
- Category:Discoveries using the Hubble Space Telescope: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Discoveries by the Hubble Space Telescope 03:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Newspapers published in New Caledonia: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Scanlan (talk · contribs) 05:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Les Nouvelles Calédoniennes is the only newspaper in this territory. It is already in the parent category.
- Category:K2-3 system: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:K2-3 05:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Except for the Solar System, all of the eponymous categories for planetary systems are named after the host star.
- Jack (cat): nominated at AfD; notified CallawayRox (talk · contribs) 00:03, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by SilverTiger12 (talk · contribs) after prior AfD in November 2011, due to lack of lasting coverage for this 2011 incident. Previous AfD was closed as no consensus on November 22, less than a month after Jack was found and then euthanized, because it was not clear yet if there would be lasting coverage. There have been no improvements to this article since then, except for a source added in 2013 that devotes 3 short paragraphs to this incident in the context of many similar ones, and removing several unsourced or non-neutral paragraphs.
- The Dooley and Pals Show: nominated at AfD; notified Tamajared (talk · contribs) 19:57, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
April 2023
- Category:Films set in 2104: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Films set in the 2100s; notified Edmount (talk · contribs) 08:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This is the only year-level category for works of fiction set in the 22nd century or later, and it contains only Alien: Covenant.
- Category:Paintings by century of setting: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified StarTrekker (talk · contribs) 08:44, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Underused category tree containing only one subcategory. There is a large redundancy between Category:Works by period of setting and Category:Historical fiction by period of setting, and eliminating this category tree will help to merge the two trees.
- Claytronics: nominated at AfD; notified 64.81.34.159 (talk · contribs) 04:21, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Mildly promotional article supported with only primary references, none more recent than 2009, to the work of a team at Carnegie Mellon University and Intel known as the Claytronics Project whose most recent publication was in 2014. (Though it is not likely COI-created, as most of the current content was added in 2010 by an IP from the University of Wisconsin–Madison as part of a class project.) The topic probably fails WP:GNG, but it is nonetheless synonymous with Self-reconfiguring modular robot and may be suitable for a redirect. The user who added the {{Primary sources}} tag in February 2021 noted:
While I don't doubt that the DARPA grant CMU & Intel team who worked on this (and wrote every source used on this page) knows what they're doing, we need some kind of third party review of this... especially given the apparent lack of new developments in this area. Then again, the sudden lack of new public papers after a certain point could mean DARPA decided they liked it and is blowing a few hundred billion to develop some vomit-inducing new form of weapon in which case it's probably classified and nobody can review it anyway.
— User:A Shortfall Of Gravitas 14:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

- V1400 Centauri: nominated at RM; New name: J1407 08:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The vast majority of the academic literature, as well as the article text, calls this star by the abbreviated coordinates from SuperWASP, not the variable star designation.
- EXor: nominated at RfD; Target: T Tauri star (notified); notified Lithopsian (talk · contribs) 09:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: These two redirects about a type of pre-main-sequence star, of which EX Lupi is the prototype, should point to the same target. The former is obviously inappropriate, while the latter is a synonym not mentioned in the article.
- EX Lup variable star: nominated at RfD; Target: List of stars in Lupus (notified); notified Modest Genius (talk · contribs) 09:27, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Astronomical events in the near future: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Exoplanetaryscience (talk · contribs) 01:05, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Arbitrarily defined grouping of astronomical objects, most of which do not mention a future event in the next 10,000 years.
- Category:Ursa Major Moving Group: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Ursa Major moving group 07:25, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Capitalization change
- Alan J. Porter: nominated at AfD; notified Gothamajp (talk · contribs) 15:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with concern
issues not addressed for 8 years, also clearly written by subject

- Is This Tomorrow?: nominated at AfD; notified Newsboylegion (talk · contribs) 15:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with with concern
issues not addressed for 12 years, also clearly written by subject or someone close to them, Google search brings up no notable independent sources to address notability concerns.

- Jessica Ruffner: nominated at AfD; notified Badbilltucker (talk · contribs) 15:32, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with with concern
issues not addressed for 10+ years, no evidence on Google that subject is any more notable than numerous other comics colorists who have a small number of professional credits

- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with with concern
issues not addressed for 2+ years, no proof The Comics Journal mention is in any depth, other links seem to be fan sites.

- Kiko da Silva: nominated at AfD; notified Chairego apc (talk · contribs) 15:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with with concern
issues not addressed for 18 months or 10+ years. Possibly written by subject or someone close to them. Google search brings up little to suggest this person warrants a standalone article, and there appears to be no critical evaluation of their work.

- Reason: PRODded by BoomboxTestarossa (talk · contribs) with with concern
issues not addressed for between 6 and 15 years; nothing to suggest notability, only external link is dead, lots of OR/NPOV, possible out-of-date information

- Armoured fist: nominated at AfD; notified Weatherman667 (talk · contribs) 17:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Procedural relist as an article that was PRODded twice, first in 2008 and then in 2023. The two rationales were:
Armoured fist is a symbol used by some armoured formations, but its notability is already reflected in those articles. It does not constitute a cavalry or an armoured doctrine or tactic despite the suggestion in the article
— User:Mrg3105 13:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)Article has had no references since its creation 19 years ago. It is little more than a stub and not WP:NPOV
— User:LicenceToCrenellate 08:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Procedural relist as an article that was PRODded twice, first in 2008 and then in 2023. The two rationales were:
- Category:Numerical artefacts: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Numerical artifacts; notified Ema--or (talk · contribs) 18:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: To match spelling of most other articles and categories related to the topic Artifact (error), including the subcategory Category:Computer graphic artifacts.
- Category:Force fields: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Force fields (chemistry) 18:09, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2B, since it is necessary to disambiguate from Force field (physics) and Force field (technology) despite the absence of similarly named categories.
- Category:Neurobiological brain disorder: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Neurobiological brain disorders 03:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Incorrect pluralization for a set category.
- Category:Ex-Jews: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Former Jews; notified ThePartOfLife123 (talk · contribs) 11:54, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was created during the course of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_8#Category:Converts_from_Judaism as a parent of the category that was nominated. There was some controversy about what to do with this category, but the title is inconsistent with its siblings in Category:People by former religion.
- Rathore clan: nominated at AfD; notified Hanshingling (talk · contribs) 17:15, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by Ranadhira (talk · contribs) with rationale, referring to Rathore dynasty:
This PROD, and several cleanup edits by the same user, was reverted by page creator Hanshingling (talk · contribs), a user who claimed to be using a large language model and is now blocked per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruption; and then restored by Re Packer&Tracker (talk · contribs).There is already a Rathore dynasty page for the historical clan and a surname page for the modern surname. Unnecessary copy of Rathore dynasty
- Reason: PRODded by Ranadhira (talk · contribs) with rationale, referring to Rathore dynasty:
- Category:Virtual Studio games: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Loriciel games; notified KGRAMR (talk · contribs) 10:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_17#Category:Loriciel_games, where both participants noted that Virtual Studio was a later name of Loriciel. In fact, this category was tagged without ever being formally added to the nomination.
- Gorsi clan: nominated at AfD; notified Hanshingling (talk · contribs) 12:02, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: One of many articles created by problematic user Hanshingling (talk · contribs); see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1125#Disruption. Originally prodded for failing WP:GNG and because the creator allegedly used a large language model, it was deprodded by a user who suspiciously deprodded three other articles created by Hanshingling, and who didnot make any actual improvements.
- Category:Apes from language studies: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Individual apes from language studies 12:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: All category members except the main, Great ape language, are about individual apes. Other categories about individual animals usually make this explicit.
- Alan Grant (character): nominated at RM; New name: Alan Grant (Jurassic Park) 01:02, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Standard disambiguation for fictional elements is by work title.
- V361 Hydrae: nominated at RfD; Target: List of stars in Hydra (notified); notified Lithopsian (talk · contribs) 01:51, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This star is not mentioned in the list, but it is linked from Subdwarf B star, PG 1047+003, and V391 Pegasi.
- Chink (slur): nominated at RM; New name: Chink 02:58, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Moved without discussion, and without sufficient evidence that it is primary over Fracture in terms of encyclopedic significance. In particular, Fracture does not mention the term. If this move is upheld, then Chink (disambiguation) will need to be moved to the base title.
- 11 Piscis Austrini: nominated at RfD; Target: Piscis Austrinus (notified); notified InterstellarGamer12321 (talk · contribs) 09:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This is one of the redirects from stars I found for this constellation, but it is not listed at List of stars in Piscis Austrinus.
May 2023
- Template:Graph classes: nominated at TfD; notified Supyovalk (talk · contribs) 20:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Underused, incomplete template which is currently used only on two articles: Regular graph and Butterfly graph.
- Kepler-445: nominated at RfD; Target: Kepler-445d (notified); notified Kepler-1229b (talk · contribs) 07:09, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Currently, there are 2 other articles about planets in the same system, but there is a proposal at Talk:Kepler-445d#Merge_needed to merge all of them into a single article about the system.
- Pr 0211: nominated at RfD; Target: Pr0211 b (notified); notified Kepler-1229b (talk · contribs) 08:10, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There is an article about another planet in the system, Pr0211 c. The recommended solution would be to create a new article about the system, like we did at Kepler-277. An alternative would be to merge both planets into a single article about the system.
- Horror game: nominated at RM; New name: Horror video game 20:04, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There are horror games that are not video games. This dispute arose at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_6#Category:Horror_games, where an objection was raised to the proposal based on a concern about the name of this article.
- KIC 10001893: nominated at RM; New name: Kepler-429 15:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:STARNAMES provides no clear guidance here, but seems to favor names that are easily human-readable. All other Kepler planetary host stars seem to follow this convention.
- Category:Serpens (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Serpens 20:28, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Kepler-174: nominated at CfDS (C2F) 04:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Already in all parent categories.
- Category:Apus (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Apus 08:05, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Camelopardalis (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Camelopardalis 08:06, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Category:Chamaeleon (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Chamaeleon 08:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Circinus (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Circinus 08:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Crux (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Crux 08:12, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Delphinus (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Delphinus 08:13, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Dorado (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Dorado 08:14, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Fornax (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Fornax 08:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

- Category:Lacerta (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Lacerta 08:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Lyra (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Lyra 08:19, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Monoceros (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Monoceros 08:19, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Musca (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Musca 08:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Ophiuchus (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Ophiuchus 08:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Pictor (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Pictor 08:27, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Pyxis (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Pyxis 08:29, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Reticulum (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Reticulum 08:30, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Sagitta (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Sagitta 08:31, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Scorpius (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Scorpius 08:32, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Sextans (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Sextans 08:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Telescopium (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Telescopium 08:36, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Triangulum (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Triangulum 08:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Ursa Major (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Ursa Major 08:40, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The target title is already occupied, and can be treated as a speedy merge under CFDS criteria.
- Category:Ursa Minor (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Ursa Minor 08:41, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Virgo: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Virgo (constellation) 08:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The reverse of the merge proposed for Category:Ursa Major below, as the main article is Virgo (constellation).
- Category:Volans (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Volans 08:43, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- AA Ursae Majoris: nominated at RfD; Target: List of stars in Ursa Major (notified); notified InterstellarGamer12321 (talk · contribs) 11:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This star is not mentioned in the list.
- Category:1984 crimes by month: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Jim Michael (talk · contribs) 19:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, was omitted from Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_15#Category:Crimes_by_month because it was not in the parent category.
- Category:Tucana (constellation): nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Tucana 02:49, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- 2022 Asia Cup Qualification: nominated at RM; New name: 2022 Asia Cup Qualifier 03:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Most other articles in Category:Qualification for cricket competitions that end with a capital Q word use Qualifier instead of Qualification, including 2016 Asia Cup Qualifier and 2018 Asia Cup Qualifier; as do 3 of the 4 subcategories. Closely related to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_16#Category:Asia_Cup_Qualifications.
- Category:Slowly pulsating B stars: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Slowly pulsating B-type stars 19:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Slowly pulsating B-type star
- Category:Tucana (constellation): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Tucana; notified Joseph Dwayne (talk · contribs) 01:44, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation, compare main article Tucana. Contested CFDS.
- افغانستان.: nominated at RfD; Target: Internationalized country code top-level domain (notified); notified Unma.af (talk · contribs) 16:25, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A web search failed to find any evidence for the existence of this domain. See also Talk:Afghanistan#Is_افغانستان._even_a_real_domain?.
- Template:Novae: nominated at TfD; notified Edwarddutton (talk · contribs) 07:33, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: In Category:Novae, there are 121 possibly qualifying articles about individual novae or nova-like objects, too many for a navbox.
- List of mainstream films with skiing scenes: nominated at AfD; notified TCO (talk · contribs) 19:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: While the topic of ski films is notable, this seems to be an indiscriminate list and it seems doubtful that the references could justify a list of films that happen to feature a skiing scene.
- Category:Before Common Era assassinated politicians: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Assassinated politicians by millennium; notified Thinker78 (talk · contribs) 21:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary and arbitrary split that is not practiced anywhere else on Wikipedia.
- Category:2nd millennium assassinated American politicians: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Thinker78 (talk · contribs) 21:12, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary for a country established in 1776, and incorrectly populated anyway.
- Template:Marvel Cosmic Entities: nominated at TfD; notified Mar-Vell Cosmic (talk · contribs) 06:30, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Concerns of incoherent scope and WP:OR, like Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics) and Category:Marvel Comics cosmic entities.
- Category:Assassinated Bolivian presidents: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Assassinated presidents of Bolivia 06:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Executive toys: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Office toys 12:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
June 2023
- Murder of Carrim Alli: nominated at AfD; notified Robertson-Glasgow (talk · contribs) 02:31, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded twice.
Non notable individual - bio article stub based on single event.
— User:Mccapra 21:21, 25 October 2019 (UTC)Removed PROD after renaming article. I agree that as a person he is not, but as a event it may be notable and has sustained coverage
— User:MarkZusab 06:03, 1 November 2019 (UTC)article lacks information and sourcing, is not relevant enough for wikipedia page to exist
— User:BusterBuster123 18:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded twice.
- East African Plains Ape: nominated at RfD; Target: Human (notified); notified EvanHarper (talk · contribs) 08:28, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Seems to be a joke. 722 pageviews since records began.
- Srebrenica genocide.: nominated at RfD; Target: Srebrenica massacre (notified); notified Blackbirdxd (talk · contribs) 18:32, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Was apparently created by moving the redirect Srebrenica genocide to this title and then reverting, so CSD G6 may apply. Otherwise similar to the precedent in 2017 to delete Flag of the District of Columbia. with a period at the end to Flag of the District of Columbia.
- JOOS: nominated at RfD; Target: Japanese occupation of Singapore (notified); notified Piggy222 (talk · contribs) 03:13, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Didn't find any sources to support this acronym.
- Category:Kennedy Center honorees: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kbdankbot (talk · contribs) 04:20, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:OCAWARD; was used in an WP:OSE argument at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_May_28#Category:Governor_General's_Performing_Arts_Award_winners.
- Fifth Industrial Revolution: nominated at AfD; notified Jean.julius (talk · contribs) 12:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: An RfC held at this article's talk page raised concerns about the claims that the Fourth Industrial Revolution are "failing", but then it was discovered that the entire article is resting on flimsy sourcing, and its topic is probably just a meaningless buzzword that should either be deleted outright or redirected to coiner Klaus Schwab. The discussion has been copied verbatim to the talk page of this AfD.
- Category:Medically important anaerobes: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Sorens~enwiki (talk · contribs) 12:38, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SUBJECTIVECAT containing a mixture of bacteria (mostly Clostridium spp. and related genera). Some pages are not in related categories such as Category:Pathogenic bacteria, but the missing categories differ between the articles.
- Category:Fossil trade in the United States: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fossil trade; notified Abyssal (talk · contribs) 11:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: 3 articles in a tree that has a total of 6 articles. All of them are already in subcategories of the other parent, Category:Paleontology in the United States.
- Category:Crime lists by country: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Crime-related lists by country 04:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Category:Lists of the vascular plants of the British Isles: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Lists of vascular plants of the British Isles; notified Bluebot (talk · contribs) 04:33, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary definite article. See also Talk:List of the mosses of Britain and Ireland#Requested move 27 June 2023 which covers all the similarly titled lists in this category and one other list of non-vascular plants.
July 2023
- The Video Game: nominated at AfD; notified Allstar87 (talk · contribs) 01:12, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Game show identified by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs) and IJBall (talk · contribs) as failing WP:GNG at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television#The_Video_Game.
- Category:Face recognition: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Facial recognition; notified CatherineMunro (talk · contribs) 01:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: To match Facial recognition system and subcategory Category:Facial recognition software.
- Kenneth Button: nominated at RM; New name: Kenneth Button (transport researcher) 02:17, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No clear primary topic between this person and Kenneth Button (physicist), but I'm not sure what disambiguator to use here. Pageviews for both pages are very similar.
- Beach Clash: nominated at AfD; notified RJaguar3 (talk · contribs) 14:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Another non-notable game show. According to TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs):
A ProQuest search for "Beach Clash" + Tv show returned only passing mentions, one-sentence announcements, and TV listings.Only 32 hits on Google for "Beach Clash" + "David Hirsch", and the Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows is the only one on GBooks. Newspapers.com only turned up TV Guide listings.
- Reason: Another non-notable game show. According to TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs):
- Category:Migrant boat incidents: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Maritime incidents involving migrants 05:41, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- Interdimensional being: nominated at AfD; notified Carrot Lord (talk · contribs) 15:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The article is mostly WP:OR with only two references: a ufology book, and a book about Buffy the Vampire Slayer which I have not otherwise attempted to verify. I have not attempted to assess notability as a literary trope or as a Spiritualist belief like that connection to the IH suggested in the Jeffrey J. Kripal source at the IH article. I brought this to AfD after a user raised a concern at Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Single_top_for_interdimensional_hypothesis/being that the article is also too similar to Interdimensional hypothesis, which is the claim that UFOs are interdimensional phenomena.
- Copyright on religious works: nominated at AfD; notified 82.92.181.129 (talk · contribs) 07:52, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: There is reason to believe that the intersection of copyright law and religious texts is notable (e.g. [1]), but as this article stands, it is entirely WP:OR and WP:SYNTH and would have to be rewritten in its entirety to fit how reliable sources discuss the topic.
- Template:R with Wikidata item: nominated at TfD; notified Elli (talk · contribs) 13:42, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: As mentioned by Pppery (talk · contribs) at the CfD for the associated category, this template is not needed because Category:Redirects connected to a Wikidata item is populated automatically whenever there is a Wikidata item.
- Category:Athos manuscripts: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Manuscripts held at Mount Athos; notified Catalographer (talk · contribs) 04:19, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a nomination in line with Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_July_19#Category:Manuscripts_in_Cambridge and the associated article Mount Athos, but it is unclear which preposition should be used: at, by, or in.
- Category:Manuscripts from the Cairo Geniza: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Manuscripts held by the Cairo Geniza; notified Petri Krohn (talk · contribs) 04:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Same as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_July_19#Category:Manuscripts_in_Cambridge, except that the manuscripts listed are no longer in Cairo Geniza, so the applicability of the new naming convention is unclear.
- Category:Musical manuscripts of the Fitzwilliam Museum: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Manuscripts of the Fitzwilliam Museum; notified Thoughtfortheday (talk · contribs) 04:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Category contains only the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book and its eponymous subcategory.
- Michaela Clavell: nominated at RfD; Target: James Clavell (notified); notified Wogsland (talk · contribs) 07:35, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Bit-part actress that was redirected to her father, where she is not mentioned. I could not restore and send to AfD because the last revision included a blacklisted external link.
- Michaela Clavell: nominated at AfD; notified Wogsland (talk · contribs) 17:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Actress with two bit-part roles that was redirected in 2018 to her father, James Clavell, where she is not mentioned. The last revision before the redirect included a blacklisted external link to filmreference.com.
- Narahari (surname): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Narahari 22:48, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title.
- Kepler-1544 b: nominated at RM; New name: Kepler-1544b 02:50, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: @Lithopsian and MaterialWorks: A debate has arisen about the spacing of this article's title. The concern raised by Lithopsian would also implicate all other Kepler exoplanets, which do not use the space.
- Category:22nd-century solar eclipses: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:22nd-century natural events; notified MSGJ (talk · contribs) 00:54, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: No longer contains anything except List of solar eclipses in the 22nd century. This article is already in the other parents.
August 2023
- Category:Fictional people from the 22nd-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 22nd century 01:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A, as 22nd century is not hyphenated.
- Category:Fictional people from the 23rd-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 23rd century 01:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A, as 23rd century is not hyphenated.
- Category:Fictional people from the 24th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 24th century 01:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A, as 24th century is not hyphenated.
- Category:Fictional people from the 16th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 16th century 01:53, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2C.
- Category:Fictional people from the 17th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 17th century 01:54, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2C.
- Category:Fictional people from the 18th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 18th century 01:54, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A.
- Category:Fictional people from the 19th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 19th century 01:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A.
- Category:Fictional people from the 20th-century: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 20th century 01:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2A.
- Category:Fictional people from the 21st-century: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Fictional characters from the 21st century 01:55, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Also C2C.
- Miracle Village (community): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Miracle Village 19:24, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title.
- Category:DEFA: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified DinosaursLoveExistence (talk · contribs) 00:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Per opinion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_July_26#Category:DEFA_people that this category layer is redundant, as DEFA was the only film production company in East Germany.
- Category:Arab settlements in Cyprus: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Thepharoah17 (talk · contribs) 18:44, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: The sole entry is Kormakitis, whose inhabitants speak an Arabic dialect but do not identify as ethnic Arabs. No possible merge targets found — Category:Arabic-speaking countries and territories is being cleaned up to include only those places which have declared Arabic as an official language.
- Category:Species named after Barack Obama: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Di (they-them) (talk · contribs) 01:49, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SHAREDNAME. A related category will be deleted after this preceding CfD.
- Category:Hindi songs: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Hindi-language songs; notified Grenavitar (talk · contribs) 22:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't see how these categories are different.
- File:Funny Face drink mix 1969.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Uberlobster (talk · contribs) 00:29, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NFCC#8. Cyclamate contains no sourced commentary on the purpose of the use, which does not require an image in the first place, and Funny Face (drink mix) already uses a different image focusing on racial stereotypes.
- Wikipedia:MIXEDCAPS: nominated at RfD; Target: Wikipedia:Redirect (notified); notified Xeno (talk · contribs) 19:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused shortcut to a nonexistent anchor. No relevant content in the page about mixed capitalization (as opposed to alternative capitalizations in general).
- Sar tan se juda (Urdu slogan): nominated at RfD; Target: Beheading in Islam (notified); notified Bookku (talk · contribs) 00:45, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Target section was removed in July 2022 as irrelevant and incoherent, and the phrase is no longer mentioned in the article. This is also a dismbiguation without a base title: Sar tan se juda does not exist.
- Β-Butyrolactone: nominated at RM; New name: Beta-Butyrolactone 10:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Although initial Greek letters are sometimes accepted in chemistry-related article titles, this title is inconsistent with related compounds such as Gamma-Butyrolactone and Beta-Propiolactone, which use the spelled-out letter name.
- List of 99% Invisible episodes: nominated at RfD; Target: 99% Invisible (notified); notified Drewmutt (talk · contribs) 09:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Page was redirected after PROD, but no content was merged, and there is no relevant content at the redirect target.
- Category:Buildings and structures destroyed by wildfires: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Burned buildings and structures; notified Gray eyes (talk · contribs) 02:06, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only a single subcategory.
- Coat of arms of Lebanon: nominated at AfD; notified Stan2525 (talk · contribs) 20:03, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
