talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 18:22, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is redundant and POV. Charles Essie (talk) 19:12, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Terrorist is a subjective term. Rathfelder (talk) 08:57, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment for clarity are these groups of ethnic Armenians or of Armenian nationals (as opposed to nationals of Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, the Soviet Union, or other countries)? If the former, it should be so titled in keeping with the distinction between Category:Armenian people and Category:Ethnic Armenian people; if the latter it should be purged by all groups based outside Armenia. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    This distinction is absurd. Since when is the word Armenian used only in relation to the Armenian state, which has existed only since 1991? Everywhere outside Wikipedia, Armenians are called Armenians, not Ethnic Armenians. It's the
    Goethe
    was not German but Ethnic German, because no state called Italy or Germany existed in their time.
    In the present case, terrorism linked to the Armenian cause has existed, and the fact that members of such groups were citizens of Soviet Armenia or independent Armenia is not relevent. There were probably both, and it would not be a reason to split these categories along citizenship lines. Place Clichy (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild oppose This discussion should probably be held for the entire Terrorism by perpetrator. Terrorism linked to the Armenian cause has occurred, and it would be whitewashing to call these groups militant groups. However, the category seems poorly populated, with several groups not mentioned, including the Justice Commandos of the Armenian Genocide, and maybe the Armenian Revolutionary Federation of the time of Operation Nemesis. Place Clichy (talk) 10:33, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, Category:Organizations designated as terrorist in Europe has not otherwise been diffused by ethnicity and I do not see a need for such a diffusion. Note that 2 out of the 3 articles in the category are also directly in Category:Organizations designated as terrorist in Europe and I cannot see if the third article belongs there as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:28, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Admin comment: there were no WikiProjects on the talk page; I have just added some, which may put this discussion onto the relevant Alerts pages. I have also posted direct notices at WikiProjects Armenia and Terrorism. Please leave this discussion open for another week. – Fayenatic London 09:34, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2D per
Austrian Resistance. Charles Essie (talk) 19:09, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply
]
  • Since it was not organised, lower case. Though there were several groups, they were organised so that French Resistance would be more appropriate in that case (and other occupied countries). Peterkingiron (talk) 15:52, 24 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2D per Illyrian movement. Charles Essie (talk) 18:58, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. "Illyrism" is supposedly the idea or the (political) ideology behind the Illyrian movement. No real distinction between the two, and "Illyrian movement" is preferable, I'd say. GregorB (talk) 11:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2D per Fatah–Hamas reconciliation process. Charles Essie (talk) 18:57, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild oppose as the scope of this category seems wider than that of the article. It includes other articles mentioning peace efforts involving other organisations than Fatah and Hamas, such as PFLP and DFLP, which have seen serious confrontation in the past.

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering 11:31, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These aren't factions of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). They're the different wings of the party (except for maybe the Civil Protection Units (YPS) as the nature of their relationship with the PKK is unclear). Charles Essie (talk) 18:54, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question what is practically speaking the difference between factions and wings? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:24, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Factions are generally not recognised or official. Wings are part of an official party structure. Rathfelder (talk) 08:59, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - YPS is likely a wing, so i don't think the proposal is correct.GreyShark (dibra) 20:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I didn't think this through very well. I withdraw all my deletion propoals for the 'Rojava' categories. Charles Essie (talk) 20:10, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - we have Category:2015 in Iraqi Kurdistan etc, so why Rojava autonomy in Syria is different? Smallcat applies to cats which cannot be expanded (like 1765 BC in the Babylonian Empire). This is not the case.GreyShark (dibra) 20:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 08:44, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, these are two topics unnecessarily mixed up in one category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:26, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning oppose I can see several are "soil-only", but many seem to be mixed, like the American Society of Agronomy, which mentions both areas. It's not a huge category, & I'm not sure a split is needed with the present population, or a clean one possible. I think the problem is more fundamental - for example, not one of the many in Category:Agricultural organisations based in England is in this category, whereas many would seem to qualify. We probably already have too many underpopulated categories, and not enough categorization - this nom will not help either. As so often, fiddling at CfD is not what is needed. Johnbod (talk) 15:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is obviously a bit of overlap but the focus in Soil science is much more on the properties of soil rather than just regarding soil as a means for agriculture. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Most colleges that offer majors in agronomy are now offering them in crop, plant, or environmental sciences. If you look at how crops (and plants for that matter) are grown, they require soil to make it happen. The Soil and crop science organizations category has about 20 listings when I checked prior to making this selection. This is for any global organization that deals with soil and crop science. Chris (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure why "Most colleges that offer majors in agronomy are now offering them in crop, plant, or environmental sciences." is a reason to oppose. It seems like that statement is similar to the fact that here in WP
    Crop science is a redirect to Agricultural science - but then Soil science is still something separate. The fact that crops require soil to grow is a poor reason to oppose, as they also require water and sun so grow and we do not want to have meteorology to be included here.
