Nominator's rationale: delete, Koli people is an ethnicity so you would expect biographies in this category, but there aren't any. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:42, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Category:Koli people needs to be split into biographies (e.g. Parshottambhai Solanki) and other articles (e.g. Koli Christians). –LaundryPizza03 (d) 05:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: "France" didn't exist yet until 987, and the category includes peoples/tribes who dwelled in areas outside the borders of modern France such as the Menapii (northern Belgium / southern Netherlands) and the Vangiones (southwestern Germany). Also, "in" is a better preposition than "of", compare the only item in the category Greeks in pre-Roman Gaul as well as siblings Category:Ancient tribes in the Balkans‎, Category:Ancient tribes in Greece, Category:Ancient tribes in Hungary (perhaps rename that one to "Pannonia" as well?). While we're at it, we might as well rename its child as well. Parent Category:French people by period should be purged, because that is in the Peoply by nationality tree, and there is no "French nationality" before there is a French state in 987. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • For sure "France" should be replaced by "Gaul", in order to solve anachronism. I do not have a preference between "in" and "of". Marcocapelle (talk) 20:38, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think "of" suggests ownership, or that said peoples were somehow "subjects" of said country, which is another way of misapplying the modern nationality concept to pre-modern times. I think we are interested in location: where did these people live? Not what their legal relationship with said country was. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. They were in Gaul, not of Gaul. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: manual upmerge.
(non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:59, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale:
WP:OR. This mixes up language families and geography (countries/regions), as well as past and present. E.g. Tribes of Montenegro (Slavic, Albanian, or 'Vlach'), List of Scottish clans (Scottish Gaelic, Scots, or English) and List of Irish clans (Gaelic, or English) appear to be based on a specific country or region (Category:Irish clans is a child of Category:Culture of Ireland; Category:Scottish clans is a child of Category:Social history of Scotland
): anyone counts, no matter what language they speak/spoke.
On the other hand, Albanian tribes is apparently primarily based on language, not geography ("in Albania and the southwestern Balkans"... "Some of the tribes are considered extinct because no collective memory of descent has survived (i.e. Mataruga, Rogami etc.) while others became slavicised very early on and the majority of the descendants no longer consider themselves Albanian (i.e. Kuči, Mahine etc.).") So too for most other items in this arbitrarycat, like Kurdish tribes who are divided across many countries and territories and only seem to share a language (family).
Moreover, the category claims to be about "modern" clans and tribes, but most contents are about "historical" tribes and clans which no longer exist. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:53, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to CfD "16th-century Turkic women" (Deleted yesterday). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 13:25, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom, but before deletion we should make sure that the articles stay in the tree of Category:15th-century women etc. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That's actually a good point; the biographies aren't otherwise contained in the women by century tree at the moment. So we would have to Upmerge them all to their grandparents, because parent Xth-century women by nationality is a useless containercat for our purposes here. So I guess Upmerge all to Xth-century women? Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • A number of articles is in that tree anyway, so it should be a manual merge. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:56, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to
Celtic warfare to Ancient Celtic warfare. As the article indicates, Celtic/Gallic culture assimilated into Roman culture after 50 BCE, but Gaelic warfare was a medieval continuation in Ireland and Britain (and the category description also already said that). Recent precedents confirm "Ancient Celts/Celtic". Compare Early Germanic warfare. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 12:41, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: This better describes the lives of these ancient women. There are no empresses regnant in this group. Some were both empresses consort and women regents (in that order, as is common throughout human history). Sofya of Axum and Zarmandukht were both queens consort first and later women regents, but 2 people is not enough for a queens consort by century category, so they have been put in Category:Ancient queens consort.
