December 5

[edit]

Category:People of the Roman 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. There's not complete unanimity in formatting here, but we seem to be trending toward "(X) people" in all cases.--Mike Selinker (talk) 03:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
PS I note that the proposed solution does not achieve the Utopian adjectival form. It is just a compound noun. How is a compound noun more virtuous that the current form? Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Place names of Kent origin in the United States

[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 to Category:Place names of English origin in the United States. If that gets deleted, a bot can empty the category. I'm not going to listify this, but in case anyone feels strongly that it should happen, feel free to make it so. To make that task easier, here's the list of articles currently in the category: Dover, Delaware, Kent County, Delaware. Yep, all two of them. delldot ∇. 05:38, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. The Bushranger One ping only 19:31, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To harmonise with the proposal below and with Category:Saints of the Middle Ages. As below, the saints may have had many different nationalities but all were in the Empire. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:29, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ancient Roman saints

[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: keep. The Bushranger One ping only 19:32, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To harmonise with the parent category of Category:Christians in the Roman Empire. Some of the people may have been full Roman citizens, others colonials, others client states, others non citizen slaves. They may have come from many nationalities, but all were in the Empire. Also, "Ancient Roman" usually cognates from the foundation of Rome through to the fall of the western Empire. This category however is limited to the 1st to 4th centuries. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Query What nation is "Ancient Rome"? Is it just Rome and Latium? What about the Armenians, Egyptians and British? Are they also Roman nationals? Or are they just members of the Empire? If the cat is to do as it says on the tin, there all Greeks, Spanish, Armenians, Egyptians and British must be removed from the cat leaving only the "pure" Romans. On the oter hand, if the proposal is accepted, no such drastic cleanout is required as all are members of the Empire. Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ideally, you should have asked that question before you created Category:People of the Roman Empire, since we also have Category:Ancient Romans. The latter should be the parent, not a subcategory, which is opposite to how you set it up. In brief, the Roman Empire only represents part of the history of Ancient Rome. For a time it was a Kingdom, and for a time it was a Republic. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:13, 6 December 2012 (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: rename to Category:Walt Disney Studios. The Bushranger One ping only 19:32, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Renaming the category would connect it more cohesively with its respective article page: Walt Disney Studios (production). ~ Jedi94 (talk) 21:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to drop the "the". ~ Jedi94 (talk) 03:53, 6 December 2012 (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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:12, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete The corresponding article Rychnov nad Kněžnou is about a small town with 12,000 inhabitants so there's no real hope for expansion to a reasonable size category. Pichpich (talk) 20:55, 5 December 2012 (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: Deleted by Floquenbeam as pure vandalism (with no prejudice against recreation on valid grounds). Pichpich (talk) 22:06, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete Created by a vandal to categorize the hoax Fake Blood (song). There are currently two articles about the show: the main article and a list of episodes so there's no need for a category, at least not yet. Pichpich (talk) 20:49, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • No idea how to close a CFD, but I've deleted this as vandalism. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I guess the category could be speedy deleted in a few days because it's now empty. But it is a notable show so there's a small chance that someone will make convincing argument for keeping the category. Pichpich (talk) 21:16, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I should have used a more accurate phrase: created by a vandalism-only account. You're right, I have no opinion on the actual validity of the category, but it was one of several pages created by a VOA, and so I just deleted them all. No problem if people decide this is a useful category and recreate. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Major League Baseball players by national origin

[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: keep. This does not preclude removal of specific articles from categories if users feel they are not appropriate, as in the case of someone who was born in Germany but does not seem to be really German. It also does not preclude creation of subcategories to deal with these cases if editors feel that's necessary. delldot ∇. 06:32, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete/Upmerge/Rename. The category tree lists players merely by the country of birth regardless of their nationality or country of citizenship. Many players are/were U.S. citizens who happened to be born in a foreign country but did not grow up there, info deemed too trivial for WP categorizing. To ensure that players who are not American are listed by nationality (Category:Baseball players by nationality), a few mergers are also suggested. Mayumashu (talk) 20:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. If two brothers were ML Baseball players, and one was born a year before the family emigrated to the US and the other a year after they emigrated, one would be in this category and the other would not be. Also will categorize people born to US citizens parents who were abroad due to military/diplomatic service for example, which would also seem to be a trivial categorization. If a player was born in Germany or Japan because his father was stationed there with the US military, this would seem a trivial fact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Place of birth is a strong defining characteristic for all people, and one of the key bits of information in any baseball player's biography or baseball card is their place of birth, making it an even stronger, more-defining characteristic for baseball players. I was at several games at Wrigley Field this summer, and every player at bat had their place of birth listed on the big screen in right field. The argument that two brothers born a year apart might have different places of birth affects about one out of every million people or so, and the argument that one potential categorization quirk justifies deleting an entire category isn't even worth considering. Has anyone asked the folks at WP:BASEBALL what they think or would participation from those most knowledgeable about the issue risk providing useful input? Alansohn (talk) 14:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
At the least, there needs to be a rename to Category:Major League Baseball players born in Foo, which is what is being described here. But I'm not supporting such a rename, given general WP categorizing with respect to place of birth Mayumashu (talk) 00:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- ethnic origin of expatriates is always significant. "People from foo" categories exist widely in WP, and it is possible for people to have two or more of them, which may include on relating to place of birth. The alternative to some miniscule intersections is to upmerge, in this case to a sport category (possibly a general expatriate one) and to a more general one by origin. The answer to the service people serving overseas is to put them in a special category for that (not one realted specifically to the sport. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:56, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ethnic origins and "expatriateness" are not being described here. Most categories here, for countries where baseball is not played to any real extent, list Americans who were born abroad but grew up in the States; who, with respect to ethnicity or nationality, are American. And I suggest mergers for players who grew up in (are actually 'from') foreign countries, into subcategories of Category:Expatriates in the United States and Category:Baseball players by nationality. Mayumashu (talk) 00:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually ethnic origin, what this is, and expatriates are three different things. Expatriates are citizens of one country living in another. However there are two distinct groups on non-expatriate baseball players involved here. First, there is the group of baseball players who are US nationals born abroad. With the huge US military presence in Germany, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and also significant presence in Spain and Italy and lots of other places since the end of WWII, and the size of the US diplomatic force, plus lots of Americans abroad for other reason in other places, there are lots of people who fall in this category. Then there is also a large number of people born in other countries to parents who are not US citizens, who immigrate to the US and become US citizens before they ever become MLB players. Ethnicity/ethnic origin is a totally different issue entirly and not at all under discussion here. I see no reason to seperate out the baseball players by nationality into specific leagues as this is being done. Do we have Category:Major league baseball players from the United States?John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That too - it is clear WP:OC to do it by league (or single league organization, as MLB maintains two leagues). Mayumashu (talk) 00:44, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment my above concern about the inclusion of US citizens born abroad is probably well founded. Jeff Benedict the first person in the German category may have been the son of a US serviceman father/mother/both parents. The article does not say, but he was born in a city in Germany with a US military base, and the article clearly does not indicate he was in Germany at any point after his birth.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Glenn Hubbard (baseball) is a person who makes this categorization seem trivial at best. He was born on a US airbase in Germany, and the article does not really discuss where he grew up, but it does not seem he is actually in any meaningful way German.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: meaningful distinction. There are many Dominicians or Japanese people who play baseball in their home country, and there are a fair number of expats from those countries who aren't baseball players. Cat is needed. pbp 15:54, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have at least some x nationality expatriate baseball players, and we could create Category:Japanese expatriate baseball players in the United States. However we should not mix in with actually expatriate baseball players American citizens born abroad, or people who became American citizens before they began to play baseball. This category mixes all three. It is not an expatriate category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'd support this suggestion too, to have the tree Category:Expatriate baseball players in the United States instead of this tangled mess, as User:John Pack Lambert explains. Mayumashu (talk) 00:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • (ec)Yeah, but deleting it just creates more problems. The "American citizens born abroad" designation is too small to worry about, and if a person was citizens of two different countries of one point, he should be placed in categories of both his citizenships. Also, the category title you proposed is too cumbersome when the current category is much more elegant. Oh, I gotta ask, where do the players on the Toronto Blue Jays and Vancouver Canadians (NWL minor league) fit into your schema? pbp 00:54, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • There are lots of people in the German category who are American citizens born abroad. It is not "too small to worry about", it is a significant part of that category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • It's not worth depriving a much larger contingent a worthy category. And it's not "lots", it's maybe a couple dozen, tops. So create a subcategory that's both German and American and deals with German base babies who played in the MLB, and leave the rest of the categories where they are. Eliminating the categories makes hundreds of foreign MLB players entries imprecise, mixing them in with non-MLB players, while creating an overly-long category title and not giving a hoot about the Jays. I'm seeing more of Mayusashu's "tangled" mess if this is deleted than if it's kept pbp 05:45, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
99% of players who have played for the Jays or Vancouver Canadians played minor league or major leage ball in the states too, so they are still expatriate baseball players in the U.S. Moreover, on a different point, there are definitely more than a few dozen Americans listed in these. All the ones I've suggested for deletion list Americans who happened to be born abroad. They are not 'from' the country in question in any meaningful way - they grew up playing baseball in the states, allowing them to become pro ball players later in life. Mayumashu (talk) 04:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To be correct about it, there are 50 categories in question but only about 17 that list non-American ball players - those for Aruba, Australia, the Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela. Again, there should be an expat baseball players in the U.S. category tree, as there is for basketball and soccer (whereas there isn't a cat tree like this one for any other sport). Players listed in most cases here are not "from" the country in question other than that they were born there, mostly either to U.S. citizens (military personnel mostly) or future immigrants to / naturalized citizens of the U.S. Mayumashu (talk) 04:48, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Edna Staebler Award honorees

[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. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes by assuming that the first two participants are will be ok with deleting given that List_of_Edna_Staebler_Award_recipients exists and Awards categories are discouraged. delldot ∇. 06:00, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The title introduces an unnecessary engvar issue that could be overcome by having a similar title to other awards, e.g. Category:James Tait Black Memorial Prize recipients. 86.40.100.39 (talk) 19:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. delldot ∇. 06:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination User:Stefanomione, who should know better by now, seems to have emptied this category and placed a speedy deletion tag on it in favour of his preferred naming structure. I've removed the speedy tag and am taking this to Cfd instead. I hope there has not been more of this from this editor who, again, should really know better after having been the subject of an ANI for category edits. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, there was no pending Cfd when Stefanomione did this; he saw it as a way of circumventing Cfd entirely. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:44, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To be more precise, I thought it was one of my categories ... If it was, a speedy deletion should have been acceptable, I think. (For the history of this nomination: I created Category:Works by genre and a lot of its subcategories). Stefanomione (talk) 08:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Explorers of North America. No objections to this suggestion, it seems to me from the arguments of people who did not explicitly support this that at least they would not hate it. delldot ∇. 06:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Although a lot of these discussions about whether to use the modern place name or the name of the place at the time in question are going the other way, I cannot see a consensus here to do away with this category. People are bringing up issues here that are unique to this discussion, like having consistency with a cat like this for each state. The opposes outnumber the merges, and their reasoning is logical. delldot ∇. 07:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Closed. After this was nominated again on the 11th, I did some digging and found that this was discussion was apparently not listed on the category. So no action could really be taken. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:12, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It is not the sort of topic that lends itself to a category and the name is too broad to be used solely for US-related topics. I have not tagged the article. I cannot do so because I am subjected to a pathetic indefinite topic ban. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
