Category:IFL National Championship MVPs

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
talk page or in a deletion review
). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The "IFL National Championship MVP" and IFL MVP awards aren't even notable enough for standalone articles, so they're not defining for these players. As a result, the two container IFL "trophies and awards" cats listed above will also need deleted. The IFL National Championship list also only has one article. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:34, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: prune but keep. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category seems unnecessary that it may lead to overcategorization. Typically, blessed or saints in Catholicism, especially since 1800s do not need to have eponymous categories, or that they typically aren't the founding fathers, along with not being publicly known to the world. Inajd0101 (talk) 13:01, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For example, since John Bosco article has probably more than 10 articles associated with him, he doesn't have an eponymous category. Plus, I feel like this category should be deleted. Thanks! Inajd Inajd0101 (talk) 13:13, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: The category is in the category of automatically populated by MediaWiki, but I can't seem to find this category in an insource search. Gonnym (talk) 12:45, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not finding it at Special:AllMessages, so a provisional delete per
WP:C4. But @Pppery: do you happen to know whether we are looking in the right place? Is this category safe for deletion? Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: I looked through random 30% of the pages in category. None of them says that the ghorse there is anthrophomorphis, and what is more none of them look like anthropomorphic. Here there are anthropomorphic horses. On the other hand all of them see to be

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. As noted by jc37, there is no prejudice against speedy renomination if discussion at Talk:Classical radicalism leads to consensus for a suitable name. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:16, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The term "radical" has a specific relation to
subjective descriptor. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 01:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply

Lean oppose. Deleting the category would isolate the child category Category:Radical Republicans. Your concern seems to be equally applicable to the parent category Category:Radicals and sibling categories, like British radicals, German radicals etc. SMasonGarrison 02:02, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input as the category creator! To clarify, if deleted, I would want Category:Radical Republicans to be a direct child of Category:Radicals rather than orphaned. The header text of Category:Radicals clarifying that "radicalism does not refer here to the American English sense of the term as a left or right-wing 'radical', but to the contrary to the political tradition of Radicalism" highlights why a category for American radicals is uniquely confusing, especially when the country's distinctly radical politicians already have their own category. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 02:40, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Looking at several threads on Talk:Classical radicalism, it seems there is currently no consensus as to what the name of the page should be. So until that is squared away, it's difficult to decide what the name of the related categories should be. It would appear that Category:Radicals is an ambiguous name as-is, and probably needs some sort of modifying word or parenthetical. And until that is resolved, I'm not sure we can address this subcat as to whether it is appropriate categorisation or not. - jc37 06:51, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean support (with re-parenting of the subcategory), it looks as if it is not a defining characteristic of the three articles. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only the ancient Greek and ancient Roman subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:52, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: only some of the subcategory "military books in Latin" belong to antiquity; several date from the ninth century or later. I suppose that partially-matching categories can be subcategories of multiple parents; but in any case "Latin" and "Roman" are not the same thing. I don't know whether this should make a difference to this nomination, since a majority of the category's contents does consist of Roman works from the fifth century or earlier, and thus would belong under the proposed title.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus to change the category as a result of this discussion. A merge nomination involving this category and Category:Deaths and funerals of popes might be fruitful. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:56, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are hundreds of priest and religious men and women working in the Vatican complex and I don't think you could consider funerals for any of them to be "state funerals". I don't know who would fund them, I assume if the individual belongs to a religious order, that group would pay for a funeral. I think, no matter what country it is, "state funerals" are held for current or former leaders or for a very few number of people that are considered very important by the current leadership of a country.

  • Comment Just noting that this other CFD discussion that you cite was started a week after this one had already begun. So, it seems like this case has priority and also more participation. The other discussion closed earlier even though it was begun later because of limited participation by editors. Liz Read! Talk! 00:21, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
