Years in Baden

[edit]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:41, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge/rename, this small tree of four subcats duplicates/overlaps with the larger tree of Category:Years of the 19th century in Baden. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disestablishments in Seychelles

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Alt-1 * Pppery * it has begun... 16:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Another massive tree for a single article (in this case, Prime minister of Seychelles) which is unhelpful for navigation. Merge Category:1977 disestablishments in Seychelles to Category:1977 disestablishments in Africa and delete the rest of the tree. No objection to recreating individual categories when they can be appropriately populated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 20:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Category:20th-century disestablishments in Seychelles‎, Category:Disestablishments in Seychelles by century‎ and Category:Disestablishments in Seychelles
The hierarchy merely needed populating. It now has 6 member articles – there were 3 on defunct airlines for a start. – Fayenatic London 23:26, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy with that alternative. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 00:20, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the category's undeletion. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:TRIVIALCAT. There are three other staff positions for the first presidency but only this, the most junior, is categorized. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Secretaries. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:46, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:TRIVIALCAT. The Secretary to the Sovereign has an official title. These are personal hires. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alt: merge with Category:Secretaries. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:42, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Former subpostmasters

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:46, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization of just two people on a non-defining intersection of characteristics. Wikipedia does not use the category system to segregate people by their "former" vs. "current" status within the same occupation -- we would categorize former subpostmasters and current subpostmasters in the same place, not in separate categories for the question of whether they were still in that job right now or not -- but there is no Category:Subpostmasters to move these two people to, and with only two people here I can't justify moving this either. Bearcat (talk) 16:16, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dutch people of the Eighty Years' War (Spanish Empire)

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Rename per Marcocapelle. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:58, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: From the category description this is supposed to be for Dutch people who served the Spanish Empire during the Eight Years War. The current name doesn't convey that's the relationship.

I don't have a good rename suggestion, but I think the current version is confusing. Mason (talk) 22:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Racially motivated violence against Europeans

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename as nominated per WP:BARTENDER and WP:NOTCURRENTTITLE. Clear consensus to rename, so I am going with the option which has majority support and was suggested in the nomination. No prejudice against a fresh discussion for further renaming. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:39, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming:
Category:Racially motivated violence against white Europeans to Category:Racially motivated violence against white people in Europe
Category:Racially motivated violence against black Europeans to Category:Racially motivated violence against black people in Europe
Nominator's rationale: The first of these categories formerly included violence against white colonialists in Asia or the Americas, which isn't really comparable to anti-white attacks in Europe. I felt that (following the example of Category:Racially motivated violence against white people in Africa that it was more appropriate to subcategorize by location of the attacks, rather than by the origin of the victims.
In addition, these categories already seems to be subcategories of Category:Racially motivated violence in Europe, strengthening the case that they ought to be subcategories by location. GCarty (talk) 07:35, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support in spirit, but instead of white people/black people. It should be Category:Racially motivated violence in CONTINENT against people of African descent to make it clearer that the location and descent are easier to distinguish. Mason (talk) 14:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most of these articles are about anti-colonial or anti-settler violence. They cannot and should not be conflated with racially motivated violence in other contexts. User:Namiba 16:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus; rename to Category:Armenian buildings and structures in Azerbaijan. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NPOV, this resembles Category:Buildings and structures in the Republic of Artsakh that was just deleted. Note that three articles are in Category:Armenian Apostolic churches in Azerbaijan which is not a problematic category because it refers to denomination rather than to country/nationality. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I see support for a rename if kept, but no consensus on whether it should be kept.

  • Replying to Marcocapelle's question, being built by Armenian nobility or the Armenian Apostolic Church, or being widely understood as symbols of Armenian identity, are clearly sufficient to define the current and proposed contents as culturally Armenian. – Fayenatic London 13:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Games by genre

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename to "genre or theme". (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 03:56, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The categories for non-electronic games only consider "genres" as games by a certain topic and not by their mechanics or structure, unlike the video games by genre category. Perhaps we could rename all these categories to be analogous with the video game genres category. But we might need to rename "Games by type" to "Games by genre" in turn.

The result of the discussion was: Insufficient participation to form a consensus * Pppery * it has begun... 16:57, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Video games about crime to Category:Crime video games
Nominator's rationale: This category is now a subcategory of Category:Video games by narrative genre. For the sake of consistency with other subcats in this category, it should be renamed with the subject up front instead of "Video games about...". This also makes it consistent with other medium subcategories listed at Category:Crime fiction (such as Category:Crime films and Category:Crime novels).

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Queen of Hearts (talk) 04:07, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Very redundant, unhelpful, and just pointless. firstly, we already have a separate category for video games, in which this category used to also contain video games, until I moved ALL the video games in the category, to its only subcategory "Video games about extraterrestrial life" which I have also removed from this category. So either we delete this category or just merge with "Extralif. in pop. culture". QuantumFoam66 (talk) 01:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Create new category and dual merge. Per Marco and narrow cat. I don't think we need to diffuse by state for citrus farmers. I understand that citrus farmers are more likely to appear in Florida or California, but that's not a reason to have this category diffused at the state level.

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with one or two history articles and a people subcategory each. I have purged articles about current populated places in Thuringia, as we have discussed multiple times that articles about current places do not belong in history categories. The main articles are already in the tree of Category:Former states and territories of Thuringia, the subcategories are already in Category:People from former German states in Thuringia so a merge is not needed.

Nominator's rationale: merge, overlapping categories, "democracy activist" is more NPOV than "martyr". Marcocapelle (talk) 16:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Martyrs are not the same as democracy activists. "Martyr" is a technical term here, and a posthumous award of sorts; the government officially designates certain people as martyrs after deliberation. So, NPOV is not an issue. — Usedtobecool ☎️ 17:19, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is obviously not an example of "this combination exists." There has been significant scholarly research done on the topic. For example, Farming the Home Place: A Japanese American Community in California, 1919-1982 By Valerie J. Matsumoto, Fear and Mistrust: The Relationship Among Japanese American Farmers, Organized Labor, and Future Generations by Michael Ishimoto and The Wealth of Japanese Tenant Farmers in California, 1909 by
Robert Higgs, Vol. 53, No. 2 (Apr., 1979), pp. 488-493. I hope @Omnis Scientia @Marcocapelle, and @Smasongarrison will reconsider their above comments given this evidence.--User:Namiba 14:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Businesspeople in real estate vs. real estate businesspeople

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Option A * Pppery * it has begun... 16:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Option A

OR Option B

Nominator's rationale: Significant inconsistency problem in Category:Businesspeople in real estate by nationality, with about half of the subcategories using "Demonym real estate businesspeople" and the other half using "Demonym businesspeople in real estate". Obviously these should all be named the same way; given that the parent category is Category:Businesspeople in real estate rather than Category:Real estate businesspeople, it should probably be Option A, although I'm proposing both options for discussion to prevent this landing no-consensus if there are people who feel strongly that it should be the other way. (Nearly all aunts and uncles in the Category:Businesspeople by industry grandparent are in the "businesspeople in industry" format rather than the "industry businesspeople" format, for the record.)

  • Support Option A. "XXX real estate businesspeople" implies that the individual's career focuses on real estate, whereas "XXX businesspeople in real estate" can feature individuals who are known for other industries and/or events. An example of this is Jimmy Carter, who is prominently known as an English footballer but also has dabbled in property investment. As for further cleanup for subcategories of Category:British real estate businesspeople, that will need to be another discussion down the line.

German Confederation (dis)establishments

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 04:12, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
more establishments and disestablishments categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: rename, there was no unified German country until 1871. The German Confederation (1815-1866) was a loose connection of independent states which also included Austria and Bohemia. Per precedent in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_July_21#German_Confederation. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:27, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: If Category:Fictional public defenders‎ is merged, which it probably will be given how tiny it is, then this doesn't have anyone who is actually a government lawyer and is just plain misleading. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:38, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do judges and prosecutors not count as government lawyers? This category is supposed to mirror Category:Government lawyers. AHI-3000 (talk) 09:37, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are non-lawyer judges, from a quick glance at the judge article, and non-government prosecutors. Things should not be categorized under parent categories they are not necessarily a part of, they should either be wholly a part of the parent category, or members should belong to both categories. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:15, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: One article category, recently created. Not seeing the need for it, given that it has not been populated at all after 1.5 years and its parent category is already pretty small. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:36, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Queen of Hearts (talk) 04:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Another massive (and that might be the understatement of the month) category tree for a single article (Saint Barthélemy) which is unhelpful for navigation. Merge Category:2003 disestablishments in Guadeloupe to Category:2003 disestablishments in France and Category:2003 disestablishments in North America, and delete the rest of the tree. No objection to recreating any of these categories when it can be appropriately populated. HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 00:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
