For living people, we especially do not categorize by marital status because it may and often does change later in the persons' lives.

Comment. Although I was a little hasty to bring it to Cfd, there are multiple issues with the categories and their names that do need to be resolved. One issue, as BrownHairedGirl has addressed, is whether or not competitors in athletics should even be categorized by gender. A second, as Occuli has addressed, are the terminology issues associated with athletics articles (e.g. "sportspeople" vs. "athletes", "athletes" vs. "runners", "athletics" vs. "track and field").
Category:Athletes has been moved to
Category:Competitors in athletics, therefore
Category:Male athletes and
Category:Female athletes should at the very least be renamed as
Category:Male competitors in athletics and
Category:Female competitors in athletics. A third issue is how gender-specific categorization is tied or not tied to nation-specific categorization.

Nominator's rationale:Rename per parent article and to reflect the fact that this category contains not only films but filmmakers. I think a rename is a better solution than creating

Then again, renaming as nominated would mean that the contents could no longer be categorized in
Category:Animated films by technique, which is itself an impediment to easy navigation. Given the lack of interest in this nom, I shall WITHDRAW and create
Category:Drawn-on-film animation as a parent category, after all. Doing so will aid in integrating both films and more general articles on the technique and its practitioners into "a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme," per
WP:SMALLCAT.

Nominator's rationale: With conceptual art being a relatively new discipline, it seems to me that we have not yet established that we even need a "21st century" subcategory. If not, then clearly this category should be deleted (or upmerged). I believe that as 20th/21st century was judged as non-defining for the relatively new art form of photography, per the link in the Indigenous photographers by century group nom below, this even newer art form does not require or benefit from such a split.

I'm not sure what the situation is in Victoria but in Queensland not all heritage buildings are on the Queensland register, some are on the Commonwealth register and some listed only on the National Estate list. This means that there is room for "Heritage Buildings in Queensland" which isn't a sub category of "Queensland Heritage Register". If needed, this could have a sub category "Queensland Heritage Register Buildings in Queensland" which is a sub of both "Heritage Buildings in Queensland" and "Heritage Buildings in Queensland".
