Withdrawn speedy move requests

~~Category:Fictional people by ethnic group to Category:Fictional characters by ethnicity~~ – C2C per Category:People by ethnicity, and "characters" per parents Category:Fictional characters by ethnicity or nationality, Category:Fictional characters etc. Place Clichy (talk) 20:29, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, there is Category:Fictional people as a subset of Category:Fictional characters. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Marcocapelle What do you mean? Category:Fictional people is a category redirect to Category:Fictional characters. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 21:39, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I just checked that it produced a bluelink. But there should be a category Fictional people, shouldn't there? In order to subcategorize them by typically human characteristics. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in fact there is Category:Fictional humans. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:04, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcocapelle: I had assumed that the recent surge in fictional Fooian people... categories was because the author had mechanically copied the structure of the non-fictional people tree (75 such creations between 12 and 18 September, plus a few that were deleted), and that older stable categories tend to use characters, as for the root category. If you ask me, Fictional characters looks slightly better in the sense that characters are not made of flesh and bone, unlike people. Harry Potter is a character, not a person. However, the focus of this speedy nomination was more on replacing ethnic group by ethnicity, which I think is supported by C2C. So I'm withdrawing this one, and adding a new nomination at top of the page. Place Clichy (talk) 08:42, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
