Nominator's rationale: Need to set a precedent for the names of categories of chemical reactions specific to organic functional groups. E.g. Category:Reactions of esters. These are already within Category:Chemical reactions so we already know they are chemical reactions. Michael7604 (talk) 22:34, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Sometimes it is reasonable for subcat's name to include a parent-cat's name, since cat-names are often displayed by themselves rather than in a hierarchy or bread-crumb chain. But the word "chemical" is redundant or implicit/obvious here, since that's the only kind of "reactions of ethers" we seem to have. No need to be too verbose. DMacks (talk) 20:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, attending school is a pretty trivial characteristic of children. If kept, rename to Category:Fictional elementary school pupils. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:18, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. If anything it would be more notable if a child weren't attending school Mason (talk) 01:54, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Being a school student can be a defining trait for many fictional characters, especially the children in works such as The Simpsons or South Park. AHI-3000 (talk) 05:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dimadick: What do you think about this nomination? AHI-3000 (talk) 05:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I honestly do not consider it a particularly notable trait, with the exception of works which have a specific school setting. I have come across several child characters who are nearly always depicted during their free time for school or during their vacations. Nearly all of The Famous Five series takes place while the nominal school children are vacationing. Dimadick (talk) 10:12, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Extremely small category. In theory upmerge for now, but the only page is already in Characters in Greek mythology Mason (talk) 04:38, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are several (many?) mythological "nurses" i.e. nursemaids, these include:
And there are undoubtedly more. Seems like a plausibly useful category. Paul August ☎ 15:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nursemaids (which are more like wetnurses) are not the same as nurses, who are medical professionals. Mason (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not in an ancient Greek context. Paul August ☎ 01:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But this category is broader than Ancient Greece, it says "Category:Mythological nurses", not "Category:Mythological nurses in Ancient Greece". If it stays, it should be renamed to nursemaids or wetnurses or something to that effect. Mason (talk) 22:00, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would be in favour of renaming the category to "Nurses in Greek mythology" (or similar), and recategorising it accordingly, but I still think "nurses" is preferable to "nursemaids" or "wet-nurses", per my comment below. – Michael Aurel (talk) 03:27, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If we keep this category then I suppose that would be a better name, although I do think the term "nurse' would probably apply in any ancient context. Paul August ☎ 01:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would expect so. I also wouldn't be opposed to retaining the current title and adding mythological figures from other cultures. – Michael Aurel (talk) 11:42, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are numerous examples of such figures in Greek mythology, and "nurse" seems to be the term sources use most frequently to describe them. For instance, see Gantz's Early Greek Myth, Hard's Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology, or Grimal's Dictionary of Classical Mythology, which all use "nurse" much more than they do "wet-nurse" or "nursemaid". – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a valid category with value to readers. As Paul August and Michael Aurel have already pointed out, these persons are usually referred to simply as "nurses". The modern distinction is not generally applied to mythological occurrences, and there is little reason to suppose there would be confusion over that.

  • Delete people of Soviet descent. Keep Israeli people of Soviet descent. As we've recently said elsewhere regarding Ukraine, regime is not usually defining, while nationality is. However, in the particular case of the Soviet Union and Israel, the intersection was culturally significant and has remained so in the descendents of those who escaped from the USSR to Israel.

@Marcocapelle, but isn't the "Israeli people of Soviet descent" quite vague? It doesn't tell where they are from or whether they are Jewish or not even. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:35, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Jewish/Israeli is hardly a major issue here, as there will be few Arabs/Palestinians who would qualify. However there has been a large exodus of Jews from the ex-USSR.

Nominator's rationale: Parent categories are
Jewish surnames. There is no such thing as a surname of Jewish origin. These are names adopted by Jewish people via assimilation or which they were forced to adopt in exchange for freedom and, hence, have a VERY diverse origin. The previous form "Jewish surnames" is a better description of the contents of this category. Omnis Scientia (talk) 16:04, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply

  • "of Jewish origin" is a lot more informative. For illustration, I think that Adler (surname) should be purged because while this surname may have been used by some Jews it is not an original Jewish name. On the other hand names rooted in the Hebrew Bible may surely be kept. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping/non-defining category. These are all school-related things, but it's unclear to me how they really differ. Full disclosure, this category was original just in Category:educational buildings, but it contained lots of non-buildings, so I moved it up a level. Mason (talk) 23:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was actually originally in Category:Education, though it's been 16 years so I don't remember exactly what pages were put into it at the time. I imagine I intended it to include pages for educational areas or units that were not in themselves buildings.
As such, being moved to Category:Educational buildings was probably not a good idea. I'm also not sure what "Educational environment" designates. Why not just put it up in Category:Education where it was originally?

Nominator's rationale:
United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata only existed within one century. Merge/delete per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 15#Category:Establishments in Gran Colombia by century. Manually merge parent categories for C19 onto target cats. The remaining categories should probably be renamed "Río" using a diacritic, but that can be done afterwards. – Fayenatic London 14:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's only one person in each of these categories, and it's unhelpful for navigation at this time. For each category, I tried to find additional members. Mason (talk) 01:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:
WP:SMALLCATs: All of these categories have only a single article each, no clear evidence there will be more articles in the near future in any of them. (Note: I previously nominated Category:Montenegrin Malacologists alone for renaming, but I've since changed my mind and followed Marcocapelle's suggestion to merge instead. See here for previous discussion) Monster Iestyn (talk) 02:01, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

Support merge for now. I'd be happy to see these categories grow enough to become needed, but until then upmerge for now. Mason (talk) 02:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
