Hi. I'd be interested to hear what contributors to this WikiProject feel of the categorisation criteria that should be applied to the sub-cats of Category:Political parties of minorities by country. And whether it is self-evident or should be clarified in a WP:CATDESC. I raise this thread following a recent discussion with Gorgonopsi at User talk:Gorgonopsi.

The editor, who has created several such categories (for example Category:Political parties of minorities in Finland) has populated a number of categories with political organisations that, to my view at least, are not parties which represent minority groups. (I don't see, for example, how the "Sustainable Initiative" party is a political party of a minority. Nor does the body/sources/context of the article appear to support this categorisation.) Other examples include adding the "Northern Independence Party" article to Category:Political parties of minorities in United Kingdom. Or (as the group is described in the article) the "right-wing extremist" group Freie Sachsen to Category:Political parties of minorities in Germany.

(Absolutely, for example, the Shetland Movement article should be included in Category:Regionalist parties in the United Kingdom. But, should it also be in Category:Political parties of minorities in United Kingdom? Certainly I don't see why it would be...)

While I have reverted some of these changes, as have other editors like Czello (explaining that people from the North of England aren't a minority group in the North of England, nor are Bavarians in Barvaria or "right-wing extremists" in Saxony), I wonder if the WP:CATDESC for these categories should be made clearer.

I say this as, per the editor's Talk page, it is perhaps not clear (not to everyone anyway) that these categories perhaps shouldn't simply be populated with parties simply "representing one specific group of people". (Happy to be corrected but, to my understanding, not every "specific group of people" is a "minority". Not in the political sense or that seemingly applied in other such categories.)

Thoughts? Do we need clear(er) WP:CATDESCs? Guliolopez (talk) 14:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
