Both redundant with Category:Comic book collecting, and strangely named to boot. The only article in the former was Comics Buyer's Guide, the only article in the latter was comic book collecting. -Sean Curtin 22:26, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

I did a cleanup and reorganization that makes theses two categories redundant.

The result of the debate was delete Rain deities, gods, and goddesses, no consensus on Thunder gods

Redundant with Category:Sky and weather deities and its subcategories. Yes, there are a number of gods specifically associated with rain and thunder, but nearly all such deities are also general weather deities. -Sean Curtin 00:18, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Keep Category:Thunder gods but delete Category:Rain gods and Category:Rain goddesses. While I agree that Category:Thunder gods may be a little redundant with Category:Sky and weather deities, Category:Sky and weather deities is a very broad and general category. Storm gods are gods of storms, not specifically gods of thunder and lightning. There are many gods that are just gods of thunder and lightning. If someone were to be specifically searching for the articles on those gods, they would have to look through a very long list of other weather-related deities. Category:Thunder gods makes that much easier for them. → JarlaxleArtemis 05:33, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

- The 'deity by association' categories are as broad as they are on purpose; we really don't need separate subcategories on each individual type of weather phenomena. We could easily populate Category:Snow deities, Category:Wind deities, and Category:Drought and famine deities, just as Category:Sea and river deities could have Category:Lake deities and Category:Flood deities, but they're all basically specialized forms of the same main category. Gods specifically associated with storms are, as you say, specialized deities, but not all of the gods in Category:Thunder gods are only thunder gods; for example, while Raiden and Ajisukitakahikone are related to thunder specifically, Zeus and Shango aren't just thunder gods - it's their primary meteorological association, but not their only one. -Sean Curtin 06:21, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge --Kbdank71 15:08, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Same topic, divided by platform, even though a number of CRPGs were released on both PC and home console platforms. Merge into one category; precedent suggests Category:Computer and video role-playing games, although Category:Computer and console role-playing games matches actual usage. -Sean Curtin 00:18, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Reading through the relevant articles suggests that the proper umbrella term for game software is "computer and video games", so the new category should reflect that (i.e. Category:Computer and video role-playing games). In any case, that's what the Computer role-playing games category originally served as, anyway: the Console role-playing games category is a new (and almost completely redundant, I hasten to add) addition that seems to have been created because of a misunderstanding of what the older category really represented. Which, I suppose, is all the more reason to change the name to clear up any future misunderstanding. – Seancdaug 02:29, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
I'll support a rename to Category:Compuputer and video role-playing games. --Azkar 21:13, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
