Category:Scottish Marches

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:History of the Scottish Borders. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:15, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per
WP:SMALLCAT, the only article in the category is the eponymous article. No need to merge, the article is well-categorized. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
  • The
    Scottish Eastern March don't have their own article. It would presumably not be correct to add any anachronistic (later) geographic names to this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • (nom) Support this alternative. This is actually a better solution than the nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Scottish Borders is less ambiguous. I thought it was a category about demonstrations. Rathfelder (talk) 15:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Per above. Avoids small cat and is a clearer name. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:47, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(voted above) I could go along with that as an alternative to my suggestion above. This is essentially a historic category from before the union of the crowns in 1603. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Car bombs

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The result of the discussion was: withdrawn (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 12:29, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I don't see any reason why there should be 2 separate categories for that. Fixuture (talk) 19:49, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The category car bomb is about the explosive mechanisms themselves, not individual bombings. Dimadick (talk) 19:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for Now"" Only 1 article, Tilt fuze, fits that description though. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Mer[reply]
  • I'd like to retract the nomination / also support the distinction now - good point by Dimadick, not sure why I didn't get the distinction right away. I though the 2 categories were created separately in error. --Fixuture (talk) 03:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Social groups of Bihar. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:20, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is how we usually do it for communities in India, eg: Category:Social groups of Bihar, Category:Social groups of Tamil Nadu, Category:Social groups of Rajasthan Sitush (talk) 18:43, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as nominated or merge to Category:Social groups of Bihar. Rationale for merging: we don't have any other Indian social group categories for a region within a state so we might merge these to state level as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be happy with a merge. I suspect the category's existence may have something to do with a long-running campaign for Mithila to become a state in its own right (on linguistic grounds). But we can deal with that if/when it happens. - Sitush (talk) 19:17, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete all. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:21, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:
WP:NONDEF to each film and causes category clutter. A bad idea to start adding categories to every festival a film may have been screened at. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 18:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 23:29, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per
WP:SMALLCAT and the content fits the parent category equally well. Besides there aren't any other crime history by country categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:54, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply

Category:Restorationism (Christianity)

talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic London 23:31, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete as subjective and non-defining. The category is supposed to contain Christian groups believing that a purer form of Christianity should be restored using the
early church as a model, but for most articles it's far from obvious why they should be in this category. (Note, this category should not be confused with Category:Restoration Movement.) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:36, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • Let's take an example,
    early church as a model? Let alone that this characteristic is defining... Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply
