[edit]

Category:People from South Lebanon

[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. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The only category I could find for Lebanon dedicated to categorizing people from a general region. Two subcats are for people from a province or in this case governorate‎ which does a better job of organizing bio articles on where people are from in Lebanon. No other region of Lebanon in Category:Regions of Lebanon has a subcategory like this. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge/rename as nominated. Dealing with the subpages can be the subject of its own discussion. Pinging @Folly Mox and Marcocapelle in case either of them wishes to do so HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:18, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, the categories are largely overlapping. This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Folly Mox, Omnis Scientia, and Fayenatic london: pinging participants to earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge as written, and provisionally propose further upmerging of subcats of Category:People executed by a Sixteen Kingdoms state. A deepcat search returns only 24 articles across all subcats. Folly Mox (talk) 00:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer because the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was the only war that the Artsakh Republic was ever involved in. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:00, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category should at the very least be hidden, but probably should be either on the talk page or be an edit tag. It doesn't belong in the visible content categories in any case. Fram (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for your help with this. It can’t be an edit tag, because it can’t be detected automatically. Can you link me to a guideline for hidden categories? Thanks, ProfGray (talk) 07:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Tests shouldn't be conducted on en.wiki. I personally see zero value in this. Gonnym (talk) 12:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, single-article category which does not help navigation. Former countries do not necessarily have a geography subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Closed military installations

[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: merge/rename from "closed" to "nominated" . There is unanimous agreement that there needs to be a merge, but no consensus on what direction to merge. This is a WP:BARTENDER close; there is absolutely no prejudice against a rename nomination. As far as arguments go, the "closed" supporters argued that some things might be miscategorized as "former" when the articles are about places which happened to have been military bases in the past (as opposed to articles about military bases which are now closed). Those supporting "closed" disagreed that there would be ambiguity. Neither argument is particularly strong. As far as numbers, we have one who supports using "closed", one who supports using "former", and one who has no preference. Also a dead end. I am going with "former" simply because that was the original nomination; again, please feel free to open a rename nomination. Pinging Fayenatic london as requested to handle the sister projects :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:05, 6 October 2024 (UTC): updated 13:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I can see no useful distinction between "closed" and "former". – Fayenatic London 07:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will tag all of the "former" categories. Discussion on direction of renaming/merging would be appreciated :)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The nominator is absolutely right about distinction between the two terms. However, semantically speaking "closed" implies a certain process that makes a particular object "former". Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will there be a change like instead of "Former country" to "Closed country" in order to make everything uniform? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:19, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Aleksandr Grigoryev: Absolutely not!
I commend HouseBlaster for making a full nomination for the reverse merge option. However, I cannot think of any examples where Buckshot06's concerns would lead to pages being miscategorised or categories being unhelpfully misinterpreted. I therefore think that there is insufficient reason to use "Closed" as an exception to the predominant use of "Former" in this hierarchy.
However, there is another widespread alternative: "Defunct", which is used for 21 of 59 sub-cats in Category:Former buildings and structures by type. Personally, I would prefer to use "Former" throughout, but some editors have expressed a clear preference for "Defunct" in certain cases, and I would not object to it. Would other participants prefer to use that word for military installations? – Fayenatic London 19:20, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Still more agreement needed to form consensus on direction of merging, but there is consensus we need to do something.

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Fanulena. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: https://doi.org/10.1071/IS22049 NotAGenious (talk) 14:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this source proposing a revision or establishing a revision? That is not very clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    From the abstract, Furthermore, we confirm the previous treatment of Lutilodix, Parcolena and Dolapex as junior synonyms of Fanulena. I don't see why this matters, though, as it's just a move to the correct name. The pages in the category have been moved already, too. NotAGenious (talk) 05:01, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Hyperinflation. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duel merge. There are only two pages in here that, which isn't helpful for navigation. If not merged, the category should be renamed to Hyperinflation to reflect the topic category Hyperinflation Mason (talk) 12:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Two questions. Is the category populated enough to be kept? If so, should it be renamed as suggested by Marcocapelle ?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:21, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely populated enough. HB, I was the one who suggested it be renamed if kept. Mason (talk) 02:21, 27 September 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: delete both. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category with little prospect of expansion to the required size. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim for any topic of personal interest -- there have to be at least 60 articles to file in a stub category before it can be created, and for that very reason stub categories have to be proposed to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting for discussion before they can be created. But this was never proposed for discussion, and there's only one article here with no prospect of finding 59 others quickly: the mainspace category Category:Furry fandom doesn't even contain 60 articles total across it and all of its subcategories combined, and what it does contain isn't all (or even mostly) stubs.
The template isn't as much of a problem -- the minimum bar for a stub template isn't 60 articles, as templates can file articles into higher-level stub categories in the meantime even if they don't yet have enough articles to get their own dedicated category. So I'm fine with keeping it if somebody can think of an appropriate higher-level category that it can be moved to -- but as a stub template does have to file its entries somewhere, it also has to be deleted if a replacement stub category can't be found. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I will tag the template. If there are no further comments in a week, we are all set for deleting both.

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: split Category:Comics retailers to Category:Comics book stores and Category:Comics retailers (people). Keep Category:Comics retailers in Canada. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 15:34, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, we do not usually mix biographies and companies. This is a kind of undoing of the result of this 2008 discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) —Compassionate727 (T·C) 02:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Eponymous parent category here is unnecessary just for a members subcat, especially since Category:Selena exists. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that is enough to warrant an eponymous category for the group. Plus, the Selena category serves the same purpose and is more all encompassing. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 07:20, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
