Category:Lawyers from the Colony of New South Wales

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: Triple merge * Pppery * it has begun... 23:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Dual merge, non-defining intersection between colony location, occupation, and century. I also think it is worth noting that for the VAST majority of people, being from the Colony of New South Wales is not defining. Same logic as Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_17#Category:Writers_from_the_Colony_of_Western_Australia Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_January_7#Category:Engineers_from_the_Colony_of_New_South_Wales Mason (talk) 05:14, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Triple merge per Marcocapelle, and precedent discussions. The intersection between the past political status of NSW and occupation seems irrelevant to these individuals' biographies, as presumably a scientist or businesspeople goes on with the same occupation when the political status changes.

Nominator's rationale: The "involved in" is a dead giveaway that this isn't defining for a character, just an aspect of the story itself. Therefore it clearly fails

The result of the discussion was: no consensus.
WP:NPASR applies. plicit 00:44, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: The terms Finno-Ugric and Uralic are often used interchangeably[2] and it is often unclear whether to classify pages under 'Uralic' or 'Finno-Ugric' (example) The subcategories of Uralic peoples should also mimic the structure of the template Template:Finno-Ugric peoples. Compare also with Category:Uralic languages, which is in a better shape. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 16:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

]
Nominator's rationale: This would appear to be your standard
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT as it is unclear what would qualify a fictional character to be a bibliophile, or what would make them defined by that trait. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 08:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
  • Delete, a rather trivial characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, a lot of the entries seem to surpisingly fit, with Belle (Disney character), Twilight Sparkle and Hermione Granger all having a strong fascination with reading that defines their characters. Presuming the category is well maintained, that seems to be more objective of a category for fictional characters.
  • Keep "surpisingly fit" Not that surprising, since this is an entire type of characters, and not than rare either. In Twilight Sparkle's case, she spent part of her series living in a library and was the closest thing to a librarian which the main setting had. She did not just read books, she offered or lend books to other characters. Dimadick (talk) 02:06, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPASR applies. plicit 00:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale: The vagueness of this category makes it a
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. Being a traveler in general is not a defining aspect of a character, whereas the subcategories arguably are defining, as they depict specific types of traveler, that aren't subjective in nature. Of course, the individual articles in the category would be purged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 08:23, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus.
WP:NPASR applies. plicit 00:43, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
Nominator's rationale: Only the first category encompasses actual dimensional travelers. The others have members that are not necessarily defined by being a dimensional traveler, though they may have engaged in it. Therefore, the category is redundant, as well as potentially confusing due to its lack of "fictional". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 07:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The United Kingdom didn't exist as these predate the Acts of Union 1707. As they were separate countries, churches by century categories for each nation should be in corresponding century and country category. Suonii180 (talk) 02:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep Nonsense proposal - no modern country except perhaps Egypt existed 2,000 years ago, yet we have dozens if not hundreds of categories for Roman/Greek/Indian buildings by modern country. If the cats said "of" rather than "in" there might be the glimmering of a case, but they don't. Or has this proposal been very badly explained? The main stated grounds make no sense at all. Johnbod (talk) 04:51, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominators rationale: As per the
WP:C2D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cactinites (talkcontribs
)
  • @Cactinites: the article has been moved three months ago without RM, so the usage of C2D as the main argument is questionable. It requires more substantive arguments. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Inconsistent even within the main article. It seems that the article move was probably motivated by an interpretation of Arabic-to-English transcription rather than common English usage. Place Clichy (talk) 18:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

]
Nominator's rationale: Not really sure that a distinction needs to be made here. Other parent category is Category:Greek mythology by region Mason (talk) 05:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just delete, the article is already in Category:Characters in Greek mythology and does not belong in (non-Greek) Category:Illyrian mythology. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support merge: The characters maybe in Greek mythology but Illyrian is a separate culture and civilization itself. For example, there are many deities that span multiple religions and civilizations, and it would not be objective to claim they're proprietary to just one and not another. If the two nominated Categories each had extensive entries I would have recommended keeping the two separate, since what the Ancient Greeks claimed of Illyria and what Illyrians claimed of themselves (or what modern research attributes to Illyrians) are two distinct scopes of topics. DA1 (talk) 09:34, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Marcocapelle. We're just talking about article Illyrius here. This character is presently absent from topic articles Illyrian religion and Paleo-Balkan mythology, and seems to be an eponymous ancestor assumed by the Greeks and Romans for the Illyrians rather than a deity worshiped by this non-Greek people.

Nominator's rationale: I have doubts as to whether this is a
defining category for individuals. Additionally, when I spot-checked several of the individuals for whom this category has been applied, I didn't see anything stating that those individuals are currently sober. DonIago (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete I am generally in favor on categorizing people by medical conditions or personal beliefs. But not on whether they drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. Who is going to search for that kind of information? Dimadick (talk) 13:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Being cured from addiction is interesting, and should be explained in article body. However, People cured from the flu or another disease or condition will not be a good basis for a category. Place Clichy (talk) 15:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one copper statue in here, which isn't helpful for navigaiton. Mason (talk) 02:28, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for now, without objection to recreate the category when some more articles are available. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:12, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge I suspect that we already have more relevant articles on the topic. But the material of the statue has nothing to do with what it depicts. It seems to be a trivial intersection. Dimadick (talk) 13:30, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly disagree with that last bit. But copper statues tend to be regarded as bronze statues, as the Sultanganj Buddha was for over a century, until an actual analysis was done. Johnbod (talk) 17:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:
WP:C2C for parent category Category:Songs written for works; sibling categories Category:Songs written for video games‎ and Category:Songs written for films‎. However, I am listing this for a full CfD because it would entail purging the category of songs which were not defined by being for a TV series.
