The result of the discussion was: upmerge. ]
Nominator's rationale: First: It's a
WP:SMALLCAT (1 P), but it can be expanded with stuff like Battle of Ane. More importantly: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 March 24#Category:Battles in Flanders set a precedent by deleting Category:Battles in Flanders and Category:Battles in Wallonia with the rationale: trivial intersection between military history and modern regions by language. My own support comment was: We categorise Category:Battles by "country" (i.e. "battles involving country X"), "period", "type" (naval, aerial etc.), and "war", but not location or geography. (French Wikipedia is one of very few who have a fr:Catégorie:Bataille par lieu, but apart from fr:Catégorie:Bataille sur le sol français, it is relatively empty). Only Flemish and Walloon nationalists would frame battles in terms of Flanders and Wallonia, especially if there is no parent Category:Battles in Belgium
.
It turns out that ]

Health professionals

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 ). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename. ]
Propose renaming:
107 "Fooian people in health professions"
54 "People in health professions from Foo"
13 "People from Foo in health professions"
Nominator's rationale: for brevity and simplicity.
I see no significant difference in meaning between "People in health professions" and "Health professionals", but the current phrase "People in health professions" is unnecessarily verbose and clumsy. This has led to a confusing variety of formats, which I have grouped above.
Note that there are various other ways in which we could label this set of people, but for now it would be helpful if we could just simplify the wording, without prejudice to any further discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

Category:Dutch political prisoners

The result of the discussion was: Rename (non-admin closure) * Pppery * it has begun... 17:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:
WP:C2C siblings in Category:Political prisoners by country are almost all named Category:Political prisoners in Fooland. I think this category is meant for the location in which political prisoners have been detained, rather than their nationality. In this case, all 17 people in the category just so happen to have been both imprisoned in the Netherlands (including the former colony of the Dutch East Indies, which was part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1949) and have had Dutch nationality, but that's not always the case. Dutch nationals could be imprisoned abroad, and non-Dutch nationals could be imprisoned in the Netherlands. (Compare Otto Warmbier, a U.S. national imprisoned in North Korea; there is even a whole Category:American people imprisoned in North Korea like Warmbier). Incidentally, the 12 people in child Category:Boven-Digoel concentration camp detainees are all already in parent Category:Dutch political prisoners, so there is some overcat here. Nevertheless, this subcategory is even more clearly about location rather than nationality; "Boven-Digoel concentration camp" was obviously not a country, let alone a nationality, but a location inside the former Dutch East Indies, in a region today known as the Boven Digoel Regency in the Indonesian province of South Papua. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply
]
PS: Sibling Category:Political prisoners in former countries with items Political prisoners in Francoist Spain, Political prisoners in Imperial Japan, and Political prisoners in Yugoslavia, seems to confirm location rather than nationality. If this nomination receives support, I plan on CfRing the following siblings next: Category:Hong Kong political prisoners (cat description Current or former political prisoners in Hong Kong., emphasis by me), Category:Indonesian political prisoners, Category:Omani political prisoners (1 P SMALLCAT), Category:Polish political prisoners (main article Political prisoners in Poland), Category:Romanian political prisoners (contradictory parentage), and Category:Russian political prisoners (contradictory parentage). Parent Category:Political prisoners by country should then also probably be renamed Category:Political prisoners by country of detention to avoid further ambiguities and confusion. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 09:08, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
PPS: Incidentally,
WP:NPOV, because then Wikipedia doesn't take a side on the question who was the legitimate authority in Boven-Digoel between 17 August 1945 and 27 December 1949. According to the Netherlands (and formally, probably also under international law), it was "Dutch" territory in which a rebellion against the Dutch government was taking place until 27 December 1949; according to the Republik Indonesia, it was "Indonesian" territory from 17 August 1945 onwards, which was temporarily occupied by the Dutch military during the Indonesian National Revolution (as part of the Netherlands' attempts to retain the Dutch East Indies as its colony) and (ab)used for detaining Republik Indonesia-aligned combatants in Dutch captivity. As a (Dutch) historian (residing in the Netherlands), I can understand both points of view. The Netherlands took even longer to recognise Belgium's independence between 1830 and 1839, but the Dutch withdrawal after the 1831 Ten days' campaign essentially made Belgian independence a fait accompli, and English Wikipedia usually also categorises all things Belgian as if the country has existed since the 4 October 1830 proclamation of independence (e.g. Category:Battles involving Belgium starts in 1830). It is also for this reason why I took 1829 as the end date for the List of wars in the southern Low Countries (1560–1829), so that from 1830 onwards, the List of wars involving Belgium can begin.

Nominator's rationale: delete, apparently abandoned category scheme. I am also not sure if generally North American categories need to be diffused to Central American. It seems enough to diffuse by country. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:10, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sentient objects in fiction

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 ). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete, so rename to Category:Fiction about sentient objects, which follows many similar precedents. No objection to creating a list which could include objects that should be taken out of the renamed category – so I will list the current contents on the category talk page. – Fayenatic London 10:49, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: More narrow scope; doesn't include fiction with minor mentions. Not sure why the object has to necessarily be sentient to qualify, so I modified it to "intelligent". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 18:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support "Fiction about", since it widens the scope considerably. The current title implies that the articles are about the objects, rather than the works of fiction. But I prefer to keep the description about sentience. These are objects depicted as having a life , intelligence, and emotions of their own. Dimadick (talk) 21:48, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
