Nominator's rationale: The round in which a player is selected in a draft is a non-defininig and trivial characteristic. The most recent discussion on this category drew no participants in 2022. User:Namiba 15:54, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The category has been around from 2006, and being a first-round draft pick is defining. SportingFlyer T·C 23:14, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @SportingFlyer, I'd say it isn't that defining. Most of these players are defined by the team and what amount of success they have had, not which round they were drafted in. A large number first draft picks (regardless of sport) don't make it big. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:24, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I still disagree - it doesn't mean you're a star, but it can and does define how people view your career. I don't think it's necessarily the case that it is defining for every single sport but I think it is for hockey. SportingFlyer T·C 15:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Being a first-round draft pick in a major sports league is a defining quality and one that's often discussed in coverage. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. First overall draft picks are defining. However, other first-round draft picks are not primarily known for this fact several years into their career. It should be elaborated upon in the article of course, but not made into a category. Place Clichy (talk) 00:49, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete / Listify, reasonable arguments for it being an important distinction from other draft rounds - but is probably more suitable as a list (which probably already exists?... hmm, doesn't seem to, but would be fairly easy to compile from the year draft articles) and could be linked to for each player via 'See also' or similar if too awkward to insert naturally into body of article. Crowsus (talk) 23:31, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The main article has been moved to Archelaus of Macedon following a technical request, Special:Permalink/1207061825 with the following rationale: Remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator: There is no Archelaus II (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Archelaus_II_of_Macedon), consequently the regnal number for this page is unnecessary. Also, the majority of modern historians do not assign a number to Archelaus. – robertsky (talk) 22:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: it's likely that the distinction is one used by modern historians, not ancient ones. However, even if only a minority of scholars use "Archelaus I" and "Archelaus II", or the distinction is made only occasionally, due to "Archelaus II" being better known as "Aeropus II", the distinction is useful when context is unavailable—as it is for the titles of categories, which necessarily can't indicate which of two kings called "Archelaus" are intended, or whether both are included. If you have to visit the category or its contents in order to find that out, then perhaps the title isn't clear enough. So the current names may be preferable. It may be worth revisiting the move of "Archelaus I" to "Archelaus", but that's a separate discussion. P Aculeius (talk) 13:04, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as nominated for now. The categories can always be renamed again, but given nobody has formally objected to the rename of the article this seems like a fairly clear C2D case. HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This category doesn't make any sense! It is a nationality category, yet none of those populating this category were Egyptian. They are all British officials who happened to play for a scratch team representative of Egypt. So can we keep the category as a team category? Not really, as we don't categorise teams who played minor matches (the Egyptian team played no first-class matches). So it makes little sense to keep this category, as it is misleading. AA (talk) 14:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • They're not Egyptian though. They're British people who played for an Egyptian team (at the time when Egypt was a British colony). And so they shouldn't be upmerged to Egyptian sportspeople category. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:11, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Good point, so it sounds like manual merging would need to happen regardless Mason (talk) 14:56, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps rename to Category:British cricketers for Egypt. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:31, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's common for players today to play for countries that aren't of their birth. Desertarun (talk) 00:27, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But they do obtain citizenship of that country in order to play, through either a relative (Kevin Pietersen - English mother), or by moving there and qualifying through residency. These guys were all there on a short-term basis acting for the British state. They were never Egyptian subjects. AA (talk) 14:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Different times have different rules. Desertarun (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Which is why they should be treated differently. Kevin Pietersen is a British citizen, but most if not all of the people in this category for people from 19th century Britain were not naturalised Egyptian citizens. So listing them as Egyptian cricketers when they are not Egyptians is wrong. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's my point, in the past nationality was much more fluid. So imposing our current nationality rules onto previous generations is nonsensical. When they played for the Egypt team they were Egyptian. Desertarun (talk) 19:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    In this time (1st half of the 20th century), Egypt had a significant local British population. I don't think that they had any kind of Egyptian citizenship comparable to that of autochtonous Egyptians, but rather were considered British subjects in another corner of the Empire. Place Clichy (talk) 14:47, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep These cricketers appeared for the Egyptian national cricket team even if they were not of Egyptian nationality. Probably needs to be renamed to be more specific, but it's a valid quirk in the larger categorisation scheme. SportingFlyer T·C 21:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artificial neural network has been moved to Neural network (machine learning), so the category should move to match.

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 15:18, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency. By far most subcategories in this tree use "women" but there are also still a few using "female", especially in the top of the tree. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion in which merging in opposite direction was successfully opposed. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose There is still no consensus on whether to prefer "women" or "female" as an adjective in catnames. The fact that a proposal to rename a random sampling of catnames from "women" to "female" was rejected, does not mean that all of the sudden "women" has now definitively won the argument for all of eternity. ;) NLeeuw (talk) 22:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems pretty pointless to keep a majority of categories with "women" and a random minority with "female". Once there is a clear consensus for a certain direction (and it seems there is) we harmonize all. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:07, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems pretty pointless to keep trying to harmonise something that we seem to almost perpetually disagree on. XD Harmonisation for the sake of harmonisation when no compelling argument in favour of one or the other is emerging is a waste of time. NLeeuw (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking about this for a few months now and have come to the opinion that neither "women" nor "female" should be given precendence. I resonate with scribblingwoman's comment from the last discussion, that Making such a change would be a prime example of trying to make language fit a rigid idea of consistency and correctness, rather than reflecting how language is actually used and understood by editors and readers. In my Google Ngram analysis in the previous discussion we learnt that there is no consistency. Some occupations use "women" more, and others use "female" more.
I'd like to bring attention to British English. In British English, both "grey" and "gray" and "organisation" and "organization" are acceptable spellings. It is inconsistent and we do not give precedence to one spelling. I think we should do the same here and accept both "women" and "female". We accept both "color" and "colour" so why can't we accept both "women" and "female"? —Panamitsu (talk) 09:54, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral I was pinged, thus I am responding. My personal preference, based upon decades of discussions in women's studies courses about word usage and power dynamics, would be to change them to women. I say this especially in regard to politics where power disparities are significantly weighted against women and women candidates are often portrayed with disparaging language. That said, based on the historical analysis of the uses of woman vs female in the previous discussion, there is no consensus between writers, media houses, or dictionaries for use of one word over the other; thus no logic for categories to be renamed to choose one word over another. I am inclined to agree that uniformity doesn't necessarily need to override custom, and WP has not in the past simply standardized for the sake of harmony, i.e. Category:X University alumni vs Category:Alumni of X University. Inconsistency is neither a good or bad thing. SusunW (talk) 14:26, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose It's essentially a case-by-case basis. There isn't a good enough argument to move based on common usage, as opposed to "they should all be one thing" which is not the case. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:54, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, for the subjects of these articles it is not just that their ancestors were Karen, rather they are Karen people themselves. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. I was recently trying to categorise a Karen person from Thailand, and found this category name a bit of a mismatch for the actual scope. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:39, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer since all Chin people are from Myanmar. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:31, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - not strictly correct rationale, there can theoretically be pages about an Indian Chin or an American Chin person but none currently exist/ those can be subcategories later. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 14:51, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 23:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, only one article in the category, "Chin leader" is not a defining characteristic of it (it concerns a Baptist minister), and the article is already in Category:Burmese Chin people. If kept, rename to Category:Chin leaders. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - agreed with the vague definition of a "leader" per nom. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 14:52, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Xfansd! I am the one who created the category "Japanese Bands". I did try to search for "Japanese Musical Groups", but I believe I typed it wrong and couldn't find it, that's why I created "Japanese Bands". Knowing now that "Japanese Musical Groups", I do believe that "Japanese Bands" should be deleted. I apologize. Macacaosapao (talk) 03:10, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
