January 4

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Birds of São Tomé and Príncipe

Nominator's rationale: Category:Mammals of São Tomé and Príncipe to Category:Mammals of Sub-Saharan Africa

Category:Birds of Annobón to Category:Birds of the Gulf of Guinea That, for example, common moorhen or fallow deer are found on these islands is non-defining.  Example of previous similar CFD: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 December 25.

Category:American labor leaders

Nominator's rationale: This category represents an unnecessary distinction between labor leaders and rank and file members that does exist for any other nationality. Notable individual leadership positions should be subcategorized. TM 14:51, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters who can manipulate time and space

Nominator's rationale: Arbitrary and vague category. The notice reads "Must be a defining trait - Characters with access to vast powers (i.e. magical spells, advanced technology, genetic engineering, etc.) who are theoretically capable of this superhuman feature or ability - but whom have neither made regular use, nor provided a notable example, of this extraordinary or supernatural feat - are not listed here." Being "theoretically capable" sounds like if they "can". What is "regular use"? What's the cut-off?

The category explanation says: "fictional characters who can create, shape and manipulate time and space; this includes physics distortion, reality warping, and time manipulation, or any related ability to control the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels". So it's again about characters who not only "theoretically" (I love it that it's about fictional characters that theoretically can do something) have time and space altering powers, but have done so in the works that they've appeared in. Also, time and space; do these characters all have the powers to manipulate both? Do we need two subcategories? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 12:27, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Muttahida Qaumi Movement MPs

Nominator's rationale: this is a subcat of Category:Members of the National Assembly of Pakistan, normally abbreviated as "MNA", e.g. in Category:MNAs of the National Assembly of Pakistan by term and its subcats. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:35, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Muttahida Qaumi Movement MPs can accommodate bios related to MQM MNA's, Senators as well MPAs (Member of the provincial assembly) while Cat:Muttahida Qaumi Movement MNAs can only accommodate MNA's belonging to MQM which is not very large in size. --Saqib (talk) 12:49, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Saqib: we already have Category:Muttahida Qaumi Movement politicians as a catch-all categ. We don't need another one.
This one is a subcat of Category:Members of the National Assembly of Pakistan, so it is set up to be for MNAs only. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:40, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
PS I just checked Category:Muttahida Qaumi Movement MPs. All but one of the 24 articles in the category are MNAs (the exception is Sohail Mashadi). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:48, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
