Weak delete, while reading the articles it looks like an OR type of characterization. Some articles are in the tree of Category:Techno-thrillers, that looks better, but this is obviously not applicable to the many video games in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, appears to be an invented concept. The genre being described here is cyberpunk and everything here fits fine into Category:Cyberpunk and its subcategories (e.g. Category:Cyberpunk media). At a glance, these pages seem to generally already belong to appropriate subcategories, so I don't think anything is lost by deleting. Dylnuge(Talk • Edits)21:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. I do not know enough about the topic to understand why article creation only really kicks off in the year 2006. If in a later stage more articles are being created for the years before 2006, then by all means re-create the categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To note, all but the Norway category were already involved in a CfD discussion in the section below (albeit a large nomination for renaming). Having multiple CfDs for the same categories is probably best avoided to prevent confusion. S.A. Julio (talk) 21:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I could withraw these, so we could further discuss it. As most of them being more useful as unisex. But your renaming nomination below for these smallcats are similarly pointless. Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:WP:SMALLCAT. Not enough content per year to warrant these categories. Manually handle Track cycling at the YYYY Summer Olympics since they are already parented by Cycling at the YYYY Summer Olympics. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:47, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:WP:OCEGRS: triple intersection of occupation and nationality and descent is not defining.
Note: Unlike Canada, Nigeria, et alia, there's no effort to merge any of these into parents. Their parents are convoluted and overlapping categories. Obviously Latin America is by country, so it would be a manual merge. But others are further divided by regions and minority ethnicities. There are rarely consistent merge targets.
Delete all. The UK does not recognized minority political representation of any kind. British politicians are not defined by their ancestry. Place Clichy (talk) 19:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The members of this category may have given performances that might today be called "erotic" but that is not a defining characteristic of any of them. I propose moving them up a level to Category:German female dancers to better encompass the range of what they did. Northernhenge (talk) 10:59, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Could someone please improve the main article Erotic dance first, before we start categorising people of this occupation by nationality to gender? And then having to judge whether they were properly categorised? It would help a lot with determining what makes it "defining" to do this for a living, and what the difference is between, say, an "erotic dancer" and a "stripper", and whether they are all "sex workers" or just some of them. The main article has ZERO references and just 1 book as a source. We can't make things up as we go along, we need to base our information and categories on something.

The result of the discussion was:RESTORE STATUS QUO ANTE These and several other categories were moved out of process and must be reverted to their original location before any discussion can proceed. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, this may be incorrect for non-humanoid entries (if present), but we do prefer "women" to "female" all through our categories. So why not recategorize the non-humanoid entries? Materialscientist (talk) 03:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having a female appearance or female-appearing attributes, does not make a character a human woman. And there is no purpose served to duplicate all of the categories to include ones for characters that we presume are human. Or in other words, this would be a lot of WP:OR. - jc3704:42, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not quite see the problem. With humanoid fictional characters we can only assess if they look and sound similarly to earthly women. So either women is good enough, or we should entirely stop categorizing non-humanoids by gender. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And in many, if not most, cases, that would be WP:OR
That said, I fully support not categorising fictional characters by gender. It's just not a determination that we should be making, and definitely not through the category system. Merge them all to non-gendered categories. - jc3706:48, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Let's put this another way. If we are basing this upon "appearing to be female" then what about transgender characters? A particular character may appear to be male, or may appear to be female. How should they be categorised? And further, how do we know concerning a character in a text-only medium, like a book? Based upon a textual description? Based upon pronouns? Again, we're back to WP:OR. - jc3706:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I actually oppose categorizing by gender for precisely this reason and others, at least for fictional characters but consensus was to retain the gender-based split. If you think it should be merged into a single, genderless category, I will gladly !vote on whatever CfD you do. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Being an avid recent changes patroller, I often observe WP:OR or edit warring on identifying gender of fictional or animated characters. Oftentimes, I feel that the creators did not actually want to define any gender. Hence I would only support genderless categorization in this case.
