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

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Burials at St Mary's Church, Watford. The Bushranger One ping only 23:07, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename and purge, burials categories should be organized by burial place, not by populated place. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:45, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am unaware of any rule giving guidance on this - where do I find this? If you look within Category:Burials in Hertfordshire, there are several similar categories which have not been contested. I created this Watford category to be consistent with the existing categorisation scheme. This was after Charles Morison (MP for Tavistock) was repeatedly removed from Category:Burials in Hertfordshire, when I was told that only subcategories were allowed. Now I'm told the subcategories aren't allowed either? Why is only one article and one subcategory being contested? What about all the other subcategories and articles? It would be more useful I think to have a clear and consistent idea of where all this content belongs, rather than just deleting one category, as this will be confusing. Thank you. Cnbrb (talk) 19:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right, thanks, but that's not a Wikipedia guideline, it's a discussion from 10 years ago buried away in an archive. No editor can reasonably be expected to know about that. But what I'm saying is that you need to consider Category:Burials in Hertfordshire as a whole, not single out one item. There are 54 pages and 5 subcategories in this category which will all have to be recategorised as a matter of consistency - if they are removed/deleted, it will be very hard to put them back into place. Cnbrb (talk) 18:38, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well now as someone is now busy removing a number of articles from this category, it's going to be very difficult to find all these again and recategorise them into something appropriate. I give up. Cnbrb (talk) 21:33, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. DMacks (talk) 14:59, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, if "consorts" should be kept it should at least be consorts of margraves and electors of Brandenburg, but "margavrines and electresses" is shorter. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:45, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Dual merge all * Pppery * it has begun... 16:21, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only 1 entry. Also merge with Category:Afghan surgeons.

Also nominating for merge:

  • Comment Naturally it is correct/necessary to dual merge cats that have such small populations. On the other hand I'd expect that if there are Neurosurgeons of those original nationalities almost all of them would be emigrated to western countries (for economic reasons). Most of them would change passport as soon as possible for pragmatic reasons. Am I right? Difficult field. -- Just N. (talk) 13:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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 If someone wants to create a list then, well, since this discussion is at CfD not AfD, it doesn't have the authority to stop them, but the consensus is leaning toward a list being unviable. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:05, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:
WP:NONDEFINING and sacrifice itself is perhaps POV. Countless articles would needed to be included in here if this were to be populated. Gotitbro (talk) 08:04, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
This has been discussed before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_24#Category:People_who_have_sacrificed_their_lives_to_save_others
This is just deletionism and doesn't help Wikipedia as a project. Blockhaj (talk) 08:23, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now we are at it, we still should rename the category. Several better names were mentioned in the previous discussion, e.g. Category:People who died due to efforts to save lives. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:25, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thats an unconventional description. Selfsacrifice and thereof is the status quo. Blockhaj (talk) 11:25, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The "no consensus" result of the previous CFD, with the recommendation to seek a rename in the future, should be taken into account. I am opposed to deletion based only on arguments used before in that discussion, because there is no reason to rehash those again. NLeeuw (talk) 12:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify based on
    WP:RS for contestable claims. The only way to make this fit for Wikipedia is to have consistent selection criteria, and reliable sources to back the claims up. Otherwise, anyone can claim anything without the need to prove it. Self-sacrifice in particular can easily get out of control without a properly defined scope, e.g. some people may claim that Christian martyrs died to "save" the "souls" of "others" in the "afterlife", and so such martyrs should all be included, even though there is no objective evidence of any afterlife, let alone Christian versions of it. And so on. Plus, are we only to count those scenarios in which the self-sacrifice was a "success", or also those who tried but "failed" (either because they didn't die or "the others" didn't survive)? Surely we Wikipedians are not in a position to adjudicate the intentions and outcomes of such actions. Even reliable sources may sometimes not be able to answer such questions.

The result of the discussion was: Rename the tree to "places" * Pppery * it has begun... 01:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, nearly all subcategories are called "locations" and "locations" is used more than "places" generally, see Category:Categories by location. This was opposed for speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:22, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on the merits. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Places would be my preference -- as noted above, mythology is full of places that aren't held to have a specific or fixed location, and when in doubt we should probably err on the side of simpler language. UndercoverClassicist T·C 08:20, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

talk page or in a deletion review

The result of the discussion was: Rename as originally nominated; Marcocapelle's additional proposal did not gain consensus here but can be brought to a new discussion if warranted. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Requesting a change to the
English variation of this category. The organisation itself uses the variant "International Confederation of Labour" (see About page and Introduction on website). It also gets wider usage in scholarly sources, with 5 results on Google Scholar for "Labour", and 2 for "Labor". Grnrchst (talk) 15:56, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
I'm the creator of this category and I only used American English to be consistent with the now-redirected article
International Confederation of Labor for the ICL–CIT so it doesn't make any difference to me. Charles Essie (talk) 16:07, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per article title Fisherman. I have not listed this for speedy renaming because people might object that this excludes women. However "women fishermen" seems to be valid too. Presumably when this goes ahead the subcategories can be speedied. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:12, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
do we know why it's called fishers? Jahaza (talk) 01:52, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Selinker is the apparently still active category creator. Jahaza (talk) 01:55, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That was in 2006. If I had to guess, it might have been because Category:Fictional fishers existed and I thought it needed a container category. Mike Selinker (talk) 02:57, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Conference Carolinas recently resumed sponsoring football after a 50 year hiatus. When it last sponsored football in 1974, it was known as the Carolinas Conference, and the category for holding the results of those older seasons is known as such. Now that they've changed their name (slightly) and begun sposnoring football again though, I think it would be prudent to update the category name to reflect this.

Nominator's rationale: Weird category created with no prior discussion with no tree for 'categories named after families', pointlessly creating another level under Category:Polish families (and effectively depopulating it). Delete and upmerge all categories back. Current execution creates errors, such as, let's say, Category:Matejko family *the family of Poland's most famous painter, Jan Matejko) is now categorized only under Category:Czech families (since Polish association was moved from Polish families to "Wikipedia categories named after Polish families").

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It was brought to my attention that the word "arrondissement" is not a proper noun, nor is it part of the official name of any arrondissement of France. I also noticed this through some categories that weren't recently made, such as Arras arrondissement geography stubs. Anyway, there are a lot of categories that need the word "arrondissement" lowercase. Should the templates with "Arrondissement" in them get recapitalized, too? - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:33, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, while "from" is generally the norm when a denonym cannot be used, it is too ambiguous in this particular case. "From" could (hypothetically) refer to the home country where the slave grew up before being enslaved, but here it refers to the (new) country where the person is being enslaved. In this case "in" is a lot clearer than "from". Marcocapelle (talk) 02:23, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FieldMarine do you have suggestions on alternative renames? Because the challenge I have is that there's not a American civilians of WW2 parent category, so it doesn't make sense to me that we'd have an intersection just for women. SMasonGarrison 20:03, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I don't think having a specific degree is defining by itself. I'd love some other opinions because I view it analogous to categorizing psychologists by whether they have a Ph.D., Psy.D, Ed.D., or ScD. (There are differences, but they aren't defining from a wikipedia standpoint) SMasonGarrison 01:32, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (for now) – if you want the category to be renamed, Smasongarrison, we do really need to see the new name. You are right that it should be a defining characteristic, and there was no consensus on that in the previous discussion. Regards, Moonraker (talk) 19:51, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting me know about the prevision CFD. I think even something like Doctors of Divinity (people) or People with Doctorates of Divinity. because for me, when I first found it, I thought they are all about doctorates of divitity rather than people who have degrees in it.

For deletion, there would need to be consensus on the "defining characteristic" point. On "Anglophone", this is the English language Wikipedia. What DDs are known for is not helpful; most may write on theology, but not all, so that point falls away. Moonraker (talk) 01:26, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename all. bibliomaniac15 20:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412: Fair enough, although Washington, D.C. obv doesn't have state courts, etc., and I would say that at least the rationale that the word state in non-parenthesis can be distinguished from the city also applies here, but I get your point (I don't think this nuance had been brought up before).

  • Support as nominated. IMHO it's sufficiently clear that the category is for state courts of and in the state, not federal courts in the state, nor for that matter state courts only in the city of NY. As for C2D, that is only a presumption to be followed in non-controversial Speedy cases, and is subject to override at full CFDs; it is not a principle to be followed in full CFD discussions.

Nominator's rationale: Delete for now. This should only contain subcategories per OCLOCATION SMasonGarrison 13:55, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That being the rule, most remaining entries in many siblings e.g. Burials in Mexico need to be purged, along with deletion of Burials in Michoacán (1 P), Burials in Nuevo León (1 P) and Burials in Veracruz (3 P). I've been through them and set up sub-cats where I could find at least 2 burials in a location. Is burial in a cathedral defining, even if only 1 notable person there has an article, which is currently the case for 11 cathedrals in Burials by cathedral? In which case, create another 1-person category for Rafael Guízar y Valencia.
Does somebody want to designate every "Burials in [country]" & "Burials in [populated place]" category as a container category, & nominate all those with no cemetery/church/mausoleum subcats for deletion?
Looking into history, in 2015 many categories were renamed using "by place" e.g. "burials in Paris" to Burials in Paris by place, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_January_17#Category:Burials_by_city. See also the inconclusive follow-up at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Biography/Archive_50#Categorising_by_place_of_burial. It would be helpful to revive that somewhere. Perhaps all country & city categories should be renamed like "Burials in Foo by place". – Fayenatic London 13:39, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Or "People by place of burial in Foo". – Fayenatic London 20:48, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: University alumni category newly created for just one person. As always, universities do not automatically get their own dedicated alumni categories the moment one alumnus of that university has an article to file in it -- this would be fine if there were at least five people to file here, but is not needed for just one, and the university's "what links here" doesn't offer up four other alumni who could be filed here to salvage it. The other categories batched here, further, were all also newly created just to parent this, and will also be left empty if this goes. Navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively sifting everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one thing. Bearcat (talk) 13:44, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose : the category can exist - just like Category:Companies involved in the Holocaust - however addition of a company to said category can always be disputed. The rational for why these companies are added to the list can be found here List of companies involved in the Gaza genocide Cinaroot (talk) 00:25, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. That doesn't make it defining for any of these companies. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:53, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
I have cited several reliable source here I agree not all companies should be added to this category - especially if their involvement is minimal or on-time. But how can you say this category cannot exist - when a similar category already exist for holocaust What makes the companies listed in holocaust category have defining characteristics - while companies involved in Gaza genocide supposedly do not?
Lets take one particular example Barclays - according to [2] - "Barclays is actively arming, supporting and profiting from Israel’s apartheid regime and its genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.". There is a whole document detailing their involvement.
Executives of several companies have acknowledged their involvement and some CEO outspoken pro-Israel views. Lockheed Martin executives has highlighted the conflicts in Israel and Ukraine as potential opportunities for future revenue growth. CEO of NextVision, an Israeli startup said "wars are good for business". This guardian article talks about how wall street is hoping for an explosion in profit from violence in Israel and Gaza.
While the defining characteristics of the companies currently listed in the category may be disputed, I believe I can make a strong case for other companies that have not yet been added. Additions to the list can be contested and removed individually, but the category itself should not be deleted—at least not yet—as long as there is even one company that clearly belongs in it.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also as long as there is even one company that clearly belongs in it Unless it's part of a well-established broad category tree, single-item categories are frowned upon. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:38, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
The argument that
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS
cannot be used to justify this category cuts both ways. If the Holocaust-related category is seen as valid under WP:DEFINING, then it becomes essential to explain why a comparable category about Gaza is not. We’re not talking about stuff—we’re talking about structurally analogous categories with similar scope and sourcing patterns.
Regarding
WP:NONDEFINING
: Some companies have substantial and well-sourced involvement in the current Gaza conflict—from weapons provision and logistics to financial backing. This is not peripheral involvement. Some executives have made public statements acknowledging or even promoting their company’s role. That constitutes a defining association by Wikipedia standards. Just because not all companies belong doesn’t invalidate the category; it only means inclusion should be case-by-case.
the “single-item category” argument should apply only when there is no reasonable expectation of growth. This is a category with active sourcing and growing editorial interest, not a stub with no future.
Deleting the category same day it was added preempts ongoing consensus-building and undermines the usual editorial process. If individual entries are weak, they can be challenged per WP:V and WP:NPOV. But the existence of the category itself is justifiable just like Category:Companies involved in the Holocaust Cinaroot (talk) 22:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
then it becomes essential to explain why a comparable category about Gaza is not. No, it does not. This is not peripheral involvement. It may not be, but it is also not defining to the company, no matter what the executitves have said. Deleting the category same day it was added preempts ongoing consensus-building and undermines the usual editorial process. Which is why it's not being 'deleted the same day it was added', CfD lasts a week and builds a consensus. The fact another category exists is absoutely irrelevant to whether or not this one should. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:04, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping categories SMasonGarrison 02:27, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, they are obviously duplicates. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clarify distinction: I can understand your saying "obviously", but Mister International Philippines 2024 is not a duplicate of Mister International 2024 (Philippines). The competition split into two factions in 2023. See the intro paragraph at Mister International (Philippines) and second paragraph of Mister International 2022. I don't fully understand the timing as Mister International Philippines 2022 (held in June 2022) states that it was inaugural, whereas the other pages state that the split happened the next year. – Fayenatic London 13:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmmm... do we have any other examples of categories that have made similar splits? I'd love to not reinvent the wheel. SMasonGarrison 13:46, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Hi, just to be clear—the page story represents a series of organizational disputes to provide context. It began in 2022 at the Mister International 2022 pageant in the Philippines, around October. The event was conducted by the Philippines' national director, Manuel Deldio. At that time in history the pageant appeared to be operating normally. Pradinut of Thailand and Deldio of the Philippines were both national directors in their respective countries and were reportedly close at the time to the founder of the pageant Alan Sim who created Mister International in 2006 in Singapore. That was also the time in history that the Philippines had the Vice President position in the Mister International organization. The problems began in October of 2022, when the founder, Alan Sim, died. Both parties took that as the point of conflict, each claiming to be the rightful owner of the pageant. In 2023, each party had a press conference to assert their claims of leadership. The side of the Philippines argued that Alan had passed along the leadership to them, since Deldio was in the line of Succession as Vice President. The side of Thailand claimed that the leadership was passed along to Pradinut, since he was a close friend of Sim. To bolster their positions, the Philippine side continued utilizing the legacy Mister International logo, stating it was for the legacy, while the Thailand side had a new logo for a new chapter of the pageant. In 2023 both sides had separate editions of the pageant. In the Philippines, this was reflected in the Mister International Philippines 2023 national pageant, produced through the Mister International brand claimed by Deldio. Mister Pilipinas Worldwide sent a representative to the version in Thailand. Essentially, I made the categories separately distinguishing them with the identifiers "(Philippines)" and "(Thailand)" to delineate them from the two existing international pageants. The Mister International Philippines category is different from Mister International (Philippines) - they are related, but not the same. 🌼𝓡𝓬 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝔃🍁 (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I removed one article for not mentioning this, before I realized that none of these articles mention this. not one! Most don't even say narcissistic! SHODAN???

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. There's more consensus in this discussion than there would appear to be at first glance. Marocapelle, who suggested a rename, ended up supporting deletion. And Liz's concerns about merging were addressed by pointing out that all of the contents (bar one) are already in Category:Racially motivated violence against African Americans in Ohio, meaning it has already been merged. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:17, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: None of the articles in this category mention white nationalism. White nationalism as a term is not synonymous with other forms of racism, white supremacy, neo-Nazism (which are used), etc. it is not the catch all category and using it as such is original research, otherwise we may as well collapse all the neo-nazi/white supremacy/white nationalist trees into one. All white nationalism is white supremacy but not all white supremacy is white nationalist. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:52, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this is really a problem with all three of these category trees, we are basically using them all as synonyms despite in theory having separate trees, but I want to see what people think so I'm trying this one out first. A lot of articles in the "White nationalism" tree do not actually use the word white nationalism, even if it is, this is a fairly modern term. If other people think using it in categories where the term isn't mentioned because it's an overarching term is fine, but i want to see where the consensus is.

Hello @Gjs238 and thanks for your nomination. When a goldfish swims around a goldfish bowl, do you think that they notice the water? Or do you think that they assume that this unbiqitous 24/7 water all around them is normal? Thomas Poell (Q112521148) et al, suggests that our “infrastructures, economic processes and government frameworks” not to mention our cultural and social practices are being reorganized around these platforms.[1] From holidays (Air BnB), entertainment, (Netflix), transport (Uber) etc right to reading, banking, higher education. Our society is being platformatized. Now in some parts of the world, that platformatization has become normalized. In other parts, it is still unfamilar.

Nominator's rationale: According to the main article, "The term water taxi is usually confined to a boat operating on demand, and water bus to a boat operating on a schedule. In North American usage, the terms are roughly synonymous." Since the reader should be able to identify a category's scope from its title, this category should be renamed to make clear that it is inclusive of both types of services.

Comment @
WP:TITLECON with "Patriarch" instead of "Pope" could be made. I'm not sure if there has been a community decision to name all early Alexandrian patriachs "Popes" (possibly for a good reason) or that one user did all this, but I'm sure we could find that out with a little digging. Cheers, NLeeuw (talk) 13:01, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
PS: From what I gather, the designation "Papa Abba" in Alexandria was more of an honorific like "His Holiness" than a title describing the office position. (One unsourced claim asserts that the word "pope" was not used in opposition to the bishop of Rome in the question of Papal primacy, although I very much doubt that.) After the 561 536 schism, English Wikipedia seems to reserve the word "pope" only for highest official of the Coptic Orthodox Church, while all other categories such as Latin, Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox continue calling the office "Patriarch of Alexandria". I've got no principal objection against calling all office-holders prior to 561 536 "patriarchs", but it's probably a good idea to establish consensus on renaming the article titles first.

There are two causes of the
WP:TITLECON
issue here:
  1. The fact that 4 different denominations today (Coptic Orthodox Church, Coptic Catholic Church, the Melkite Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch and Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria) all claim that their line of patriarchs of Alexandria traces back to Saint Mark the Evangelist, Anianus, Avilius etc., and they are the only legitimate successors after the 536 schism, but only the Coptic Orthodox denomination uses the title "Pope" in addition to "Patriarch of Alexandria" (officially: Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of the see of St. Mark), while the Coptic Catholics, Melkite Catholics and Greek Orthodox are all fine with "Patriarch of Alexandria". (For the post-536 period, the 4 denominations have their own articles, lists and categories, so there is no technical issue there).
  2. The fact that
    MOS:POPES never seems to have accounted for the eventual emergence of this issue; the convention about "Roman and Coptic popes" was added in 2003, before any mention of Orthodox patriarchs
    , and barely changed since. We can hardly fault our English Wikipedia pioneers for not having foreseen this).
Usage of the word "Pope" in the article title thus implies the exclusive legitimacy of the line of popes of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the illegitimacy of all three other denominations. That does not conform with
WP:TITLECON with the main articles Patriarch of Alexandria and List of patriarchs of Alexandria
.
Therefore, I (together with Marcocapelle, who first brought this up) propose per
WP:COMMONNAME, and shouldn't be changed. Ditto Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria
.)}}
26 probably uncontroversial page moves
  1. Pope Anianus of Alexandria
  2. Pope Avilius of Alexandria
  3. Pope Kedron of Alexandria
  4. Pope Primus of Alexandria
  5. Pope Justus of Alexandria
  6. Pope Eumenes of Alexandria
  7. Pope Markianos of Alexandria
  8. Pope Celadion of Alexandria
  9. Pope Agrippinus of Alexandria
  10. Pope Julian of Alexandria
  11. Pope Demetrius I of Alexandria
  12. Pope Heraclas of Alexandria
  13. Pope Dionysius of Alexandria
  14. Pope Maximus of Alexandria
  15. Pope Theonas of Alexandria
  16. Peter I of Alexandria (removing "Pope" from the article title on 18 May 2020 was an undiscussed move)
  17. Pope Achillas of Alexandria
  18. Pope Alexander I of Alexandria
  19. Peter II of Alexandria (removing "Pope" from the article title on 18 May 2020 was an undiscussed move)
  20. Timothy I of Alexandria (removing "Pope" from the article title on 8 November 2021 was an undiscussed move)
  21. Pope Dioscorus I of Alexandria
  22. Timothy II of Alexandria ("Aelurus") removing "Pope" from the article title on 8 November 2021 was an undiscussed move)
  23. Peter III of Alexandria (removing "Pope" from the article title on 18 May 2020 was an undiscussed move)
  24. Pope Athanasius II of Alexandria
  25. Pope Dioscorus II of Alexandria
  26. Pope Theodosius I of Alexandria
8 potentially contentious page moves
  1. Gregory of Cappadocia (page name has never been moved, probably because Orthodox Coptics reject his legitimacy because of his Arianism)
  2. WP:DUE
    ("not accepted by the mainstream (aka Nicene) Churches"), i.e. his legitimacy is rejected because of his Arianism)
  3. Theophilus I of Alexandria (page was moved by removing "Pope" without discussion on 19 December 2022, but with arguably a good reason: "disambiguating". Theophilus of Alexandria is now a DP with 5 possible meanings, but the number "I" should be sufficient to differentiate this one from the 4 others. I don't think this qualifies as a reasoned exception.)
  4. Proterius of Alexandria (page name has never been moved, probably because Orthodox Coptics reject his legitimacy because of his Arianism)
  5. Timothy Salophakiolos renaming the page on 3 November 2019 from Patriarch Timothy III of Alexandria to Timothy Salophakiolos was an undiscussed move, but motivated as "less ambiguous". That may be; I'm open to adding this article to the reasoned exceptions if others agree, but otherwise still proposing to restore the original article title.
  6. Pope John I (II) of Alexandria to Pope John I of Alexandria
    over redirect on 19 July 2017 was an undiscussed move]). I wish we had a nickname for this guy, like Talaia or Niciota, so that the article title wouldn't compel us to take a POV.
  7. WP:NPOV and the examples of John Talaia and Timothy Salophakiolos
    . Having two ordinals in the article title is not really helpful, and a poor compromise between differing POVs. Just using [given name] + [nickname] is also a far more elegant solution than opting for either "Patriarch" or "Pope" when there are conflicting POVs.
  8. Timothy IV of Alexandria (F50R2J moved page Pope Timothy III (IV) of Alexandria to Timothy III of Alexandria: "Coptic Popes (Non-Chalcedonian) did not accept the proceedings after the Council of Chalcedon. In addition the Coptic Pope are not Greek Patriarch (Chalcedonian)", thus advancing a Coptic Orthodox POV to justify an undiscussed move.)
NLeeuw (talk) 19:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
These 8 articles should be excluded from the first round of the mass requested move, because whatever article title we propose is potentially controversial, because the various denominations disagree about their legitimacy. For the rest, I don't think changing 'Pope' to 'Patriarch' or (re-)adding 'Patriarch' in the article title is going to be controversial on the basis of the rationale I have written above.

Nominator's rationale: manually merge, "town" has a different meaning in every country, some countries do not even distinguish between towns and cities, therefore we have been in a long process to merge them to "populated places". This nomination is a tiny part of that process. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Most articles and subcategories will already be in a Populated places by country subdivision category, therefore the proposal is to merge manually rather than automatically. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT
. We could include any and all wars, diplomatic incidents, technological races etc. in this category by claiming these are all manifestations of "geopolitical rivalry", two words that are extremely vague, subjective and open to libraries full of interpretations. Best get rid of it all.
Alt proposal: manually upmerge few, Purge the rest: At most, I would suggest strictly, manually upmerging the few articles that contain the word 'rivalry' in the title to parent Category:Rivalry. Those would be Austro-Prussian rivalry, Danish–Hanseatic rivalry, French–Habsburg rivalry, and possibly French–German enmity. And then we Purge all other articles and subcategories that are not about "rivalry" as such. NLeeuw (talk) 18:50, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to decade categories. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:36, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Procedural nomination. Sometime between the initiation and closure of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 April 22#Category:Energy infrastructure closed in 1975, the creator of those two deleted categories did start trying to expand that scheme with several other similar categories for other years -- but even though the nomination (and the sole delete vote) were both predicated mainly on the lack of categories for other years, nobody noticed the creation of these other categories in time to reevaluate their position.
To be fair, these are all still small categories for just one or two things each, and the schema is still quite scattershot (i.e. some years but not others), so it's still not a given that they're needed -- but we do have to revisit it regardless, since the original discussion hinged on the 1975 category being a standalone isolate at the time of nomination, which it wasn't anymore at time of closure.
So do we want to overturn the prior result and recreate those two categories on the grounds that the tree was expanded, or is this still unnecessary if all of the categories are still so small? Bearcat (talk) 15:58, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • As I mentioned in detail, not all Deobandis are writers; they belong to various domains, a point Marcocapelle acknowledged. He suggested changing the category "Books by Anwar Shah Kashmiri" to "Books about Anwar Shah Kashmiri's teachings" or "Books about Anwar Shah Kashmiri." However, I disagree with this suggestion, as such categories are misleading. Books are not always written by the author themselves; sometimes, they are compiled from oral teachings or lectures. In this case, the books were compiled by students from Anwar Shah Kashmiri's lectures, and while he didn’t write them directly, the authorship is still attributed to him through his teachings. The students are merely compilers.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 21:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. The merge targets are open for discussion too: "culture of" happens to be the parent categories, but maybe not the best. Alternatively we may merge e.g. to Category:Birmingham, Alabama instead of to Category:Culture of Birmingham, Alabama. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:15, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. A book that is set in Birmingham, AL may or may not have anything culturally significant to that place, which is what people generally would be looking for when they navigate to these categories. Merging makes an assumption about what culture is. The merge suggestion will lead to large and unwieldy culture categories. It makes things less useful for the reader and explorer of the encyclopedia. I'm not sure what the harm is in these categories existing.
Can you explain further what is "redundant" about this category layer from a culture context? Nayyn (talk) 07:10, 26 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.

  • 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]

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.

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.

Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category, with no evidence of approval by Wikiproject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- the bar for the creation of a stub category is 60 articles, so stub categories normally have to be submitted to the Wikiproject for discussion. But there's no evidence of that process having been followed here, and the category has just two articles in it, with little prospect of finding 58 more quickly.
Furthermore, the template is duplicate-categorizing the two entries in both this category and the
Azerbaijan-sculptor-stub}} templates, but they aren't on enough articles to salvage this — architect is on two, painter is on six and sculptor is on zero, so even if they were modified to move the articles here we'd still be 50 articles short of the bar. Bearcat (talk) 16:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:06, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category newly created for just one person. As always, navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one entry -- this would be fine if there were a substantial number of people to file here, but is not needed for just one person. The one person filed here, further, is a person from Assam who emigrated to the United States as an adult, which is not the same thing as what the category name implies: the phrasing "American people of X descent" normally requires the person to be born in the United States with close or distant ancestors who emigrated from X before the subject's birth, and does not typically include people who were personally born in X themselves — someone personally from X who emigrated themselves would be an "X emigrant to the United States", not an "American person of X descent".

Nominator's rationale: Lists category newly created for just one list. This would be fine if there were several lists to file here, but none of the parent categories appear to contain anything else that could be moved here, and navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of one thing. Bearcat (talk) 15:02, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The content has to exist first, and then the category can be created to contain it second, not vice versa. "Planning" to create content in the future isn't enough, because what if (a) you never actually get around to following through on that plan, or (b) you do but the article then gets deleted as inadequate? So we don't create categories in service of possible future content that doesn't exist yet — the content comes first, and then the category to contain it comes after the content exists. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. Could you please clarify how many articles are required for a category? Barseghian Lilia (talk) 16:45, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Generally at least two for a "lists of X" category. (It can be five or even 60 articles in some other situations, so don't just go around creating a bunch of two-article categories at random, but two is generally enough for a "lists of X" category, though even more than two is better if possible.) If you get the cheese list in place before the seven-day discussion process is up on May 14, then I'd be happy to withdraw this since the category will have more than one list in it — but if the cheese list isn't in place by the 14th, then we can't keep the category just because a second list might get added to it someday.

  • Oppose, without prejudice against reconsideration in the future if circumstances change. As noted above, 60 articles is the bar for the initial creation of a stub category, and there's no rule that every category has to stay above 60 articles at all times or else face immediate deletion the moment it drops into the 50s. Also, it's currently at 50 articles, not 46. This was duly approved by the stub sorting project at the time, so it obviously met the required standard, and geography stub categories can fluctuate in size as new content gets created and/or destubbed. So if this had dropped into the teens or twenties, then there'd be a strong case for the proposed merge — but at 50, there's still a strong possibility of ten new ones being added again, unless the project could definitively prove that there aren't ten Kittitian geographic topics left to start new articles about.

  • Oppose. I find the characteristic fairly defining for those articles, especially in context of studies about LGBT and Ancient Greece. Also, the list is an article, not a category, so its existence does not make the category superfluous.
Deiadameian (talk) 09:22, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, for same reasons as above. Additionally, the biographies in this category cover figures who have LGBTQ themes but were not in same-sex relationships, which the LGBTQ themes category captures in a way that the article focusing on homoerotic themes cannot.

PSVR is a game console accessory with its own library, just like PSVR2 and Sega 32X. There are definitely enough PSVR games to justify its own category. Jursha (talk) 20:09, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree. Many people don't own a PSVR and have no interest in it. However many do have a PS4 and are coming to the page expecting to look into games that are not reliant on a VR system but just the console itself. Splitting them would help :) 12.226.45.162 (talk) 21:17, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: option B. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:02, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming
  • OPTION A
  • OPTION B
Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency. Option A is consistent with the wider tree: Category:Ancient history, Category:Ancient history by country. Option B is consistent specifically with Category:Classical antiquity which is not part of this nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:02, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Option B. Some of the category names proposed under "Option A" are problematic because of the wording: history is literally the record of events that occurred in the past. History is not the past itself, and modern art/literature/other things that happen to use the past as a setting are not part of the history of the period in which they are set. I realize that people will understand what "X in ancient history" means, and that some people use "ancient history" loosely so that it means "antiquity", but that's sloppy—and a bit slangy: "ancient history" is sometimes used to refer dismissively to anything not sufficiently contemporary from someone's subjective point of view; "antiquity" is not. While I don't think we need to police the contents of articles to keep out imperfect phrasing, we should avoid it in category and article titles. P Aculeius (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overlapping with Cults of personality and New religious movements; and vaguely defined. Notably Category:Cults disambiguates. SMasonGarrison 22:51, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete what authority designated these? If it had one, it should be in the title. I assume the category was going for France, but the French do not have a cult designation system. They had a fee reports written by a politician thirty years ago that listed cults, but that isn’t a “designation” in the legal sense, it was the opinion of one person. MIVILUDES does not have a list. Cult as a legal designation with a specific definition group does not exist outside of China. There is no process to designate something as a cult in France... someone saying in a judgement that a group is a cult does not legally designate someone as something, much as someone being called a terrorist in a legal judgement does not designate someone as a terrorist entity. Being included on a single list that was never updated is not equivalent to what China has (they have a continuously updated system of cults a la terrorist designation) or to a terrorist designation. Being included in a single work is not defining per
WP:CATDEF (I wish it was, because I think the organizations included in the first cult list are pretty interesting, but it violates catdef). If the French had a similar process to China that was continually updated we could make it “organizations designated as cults by France”, but they do not have a list.

Nominator's rationale: (1) Consistency with category main article name of "hallucinogen". (2) "Hallucinogen" is a well-established scientific term for this class of drugs whereas the current category name of "psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants" is just a list of three subtypes of hallucinogens. (3) Not all hallucinogens fall into the subgroups of psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants, so "hallucinogens" would be a much better-suited category name for those instances.

Nominator's rationale: Category:WikiProject Philippines is the main project category, as accepted at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_August_7#Category:WikiProject_Philippines_members, where the members category name was set as WikiProject Philippines participants. The project itself had consensus in 2022 at Wikipedia_talk:Tambayan_Philippines/Archive_49#Consensus_to_create_Category:WikiProject_Philippines_articles to create Category:WikiProject Philippines articles. The proposed subcat names will match Philippines articles needing expert attention, although the assessment categories use "Philippine-related". The project page name uses the local-language name Tambayan (hangout/meeting-place), apparently because it was a noticeboard as well as a WikiProject, so I have added Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines into Regional Wikipedian notice boards in place of the nominated category. – Fayenatic London 21:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:10, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Categories recently created for just one or two mosques each, in a tree without any other by-year siblings for their eras. These are two of the only three categories in Category:Mosques by year of completion that exist for any year prior to the 20th century, and the third has already been listed for a separate discussion below -- and in both cases, the decade target is not large enough to be comprehensively subbed out by individual year either (in the case of 1375, further, the two pages were both left duplicate categorized in the decade category alongside the year-specific category.)
As always, navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories of just one or two things across the board -- the decade level is entirely sufficient here, and a year-specific level is not needed, if there are just one or two things per year and no other year in that decade or even century has a sibling category at all.

Nominator's rationale: One-entry category, in a tree that doesn't otherwise have any sibling categories for any year earlier than 1375 -- and even the 1375 category is still an outlier of dubious necessity, since Category:Mosques by year of completion doesn't consistently have year-by-year subcategories for every year across the board until 1900. As always, navigation of Wikipedia is not aided by obsessively subcategorizing everything down into the narrowest possible microcategories for just one thing -- we don't need this for just one mosque if it's almost 700 years removed from any of its siblings.

The result of the discussion was: keep (withdrawn). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:09, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationales: (1) I got lost in the category trees before realizing they were not fully connected; I propose to make the smaller category into a redirect. (2) The relevant legislation is almost always national, so "by country" is the right concept. (3) In a few cases, e.g. Patent Act and international treaties, the concept is transnational, so an article can be classified in more generic categories such as Category:Patent law. (4) "Legislation" would be a better title for legislative work in progress, but we have few if any articles about that; the articles are about completed Acts aka laws. I only need to do a dozen manual edits to get this done, I think. I wanted to check with experts here to see if there's any reason not to charge ahead with the task. -- econterms (talk) 20:01, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is not clear to me why a "law by country" tree and a "legislation" category cannot exist in parallel. Of course articles should also be in country categories if they exist, but that is not a reason to drop the "Legislation" category per se. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:08, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I will tag the category. Thoughts on Marcocapelle's comment?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for tagging it. That may bring in other insights.
I thought about it and studied the cases again. It seems that Category:Patent legislation is not adding any information to any actual article. The topic is more naturally called "Patent law", and all the relevant pages are classified in Category:Patent law or (more often) its subcategories by country. So I still think the Patent legislation category should be turned into a redirect and not used any more.
I do not mean to say that it is literally impossible or illogical for "legislation" and "law" categories both to exist. For copyrights, they do, and the talk page of the "legislation" category (Category_talk:Copyright_legislation) says "Copyright legislation includes both proposed and enacted legislation." Maybe it's relevant there, although I didn't find any examples of legislation proposed but not enacted for copyright either. -- econterms (talk) 06:47, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    What is not the point of your nomination? How I missing it? You suggest deletion and my !vote is based on the fact that this a perfectly valid category, so I oppose its deletion. As for it being useful or not, I find it useful and it makes navigation between categories about fiction in various dynasties or other periods, easy; see Category:History of Vietnam in fiction. The category being valid, I therefore find its deletion unnecessary. -Mushy Yank. 21:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename/merge as nominated. I have discounted the comments by a sockpuppet. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:20, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:
WP:CATNAME
These two categories hold the same articles so we just need one. Creating a clear and NPOV name is challenging though since these incidents don't involve being "arrested" in any conventional sense, not all of the people were deported, and none of the agents have been charged or convicted of crimes, so "detained" seemed like the only term left. (Totally open to alternative renames though.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 17:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • First, I completely agree they should be merged, and am not sure how I ended up creating two different cats that are so similar. I'll go through the diffs to try to make sure it doesn't happen again.
  • Second, I agree that Creating a clear and NPOV name is challenging. I made a suggestion here, but it's even longer.
  • Third, I'm not sure I agree that the title should get as specific as by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vs. something like by U.S. immigration officials because in some of the instances (e.g.
    Detention of Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez) the arrest and detention were by FL highway patrol and then a local jail as far as I can tell. In other cases (not in this category, but related) all agencies are denying that they participated (e.g. Rumeysa Ozturk
    ) but there were clearly law enforcement offers acting as immigration officials. What do you think?
i know you're a dog 20:22, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Beyond those two examples, even internal ICE functions are outsourced to for-profit operators so GEO Group operates many of their detention centers and Eastern Air Express flies many of their deportations. I'm not sure if it's precise to call employees of other agencies and private companies "immigration officials". But my name is also imperfect since the citizens are all being detained upon behalf of ICE but not necessarily by ICE. (I'm good with either name, or a different one, so long as we go down to one category.) RevelationDirect (talk) 21:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Template shortcuts

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) 17:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Currently only contains 2 pages which are rightly and adequately categorised in Category:Date-computing templates based on current time, and do not meet the stated inclusion criteria. I already removed {{Prod-nn}} and {{Checked sockpuppet}} as not belonging here either. This category was previously nominated by User:SMcCandlish at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_March_20#Category:Template_shortcuts for renaming to Wrapper templates, which did not achieve consensus. That target name was independently created later; I did not find any contents there that had been moved from here, nor was I able to trace what happened to any other previous contents from here. – Fayenatic London 15:54, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It seems reasonable for maintenance purposes to categorize actual redirects (whether "shortcuts" or not) that are to template namespace, but isn't this already done somewhere, using an rcat template? I don't see any point, though, in trying to categorize "shortcuts" since people disagree on what qualifies. Pretty often I find {{R from shortcut}} on redirects that are not actually shorter than the real page names they resolve to, so I remove that rcat template. I can't see a maint. purpose in trying to categorize redirs by a term people subjectively disagree about or misinterpret, especially since functionally (i.e. for maint. purposes) there is no difference between a "shortcut" redir and a non-"shortcut" redir. Plus, this cat. is simply not used, so even if a purpose could be imagined for it, it's not serving that purpose and is just chaff.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:01, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, more accurate and aligned with Category:Lists of people by first-level administrative country subdivision. By the way for both of them I would also be okay with dropping "first-level" and/or "administrative". If other editors feel it can be shorter I will tag the people category too.

The result of the discussion was: split as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:13, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: split, it is generally far more common to use "populated places" instead of "places" and using both in parallel is merely confusing. Places that are not populated can simply go in geography. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:41, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: rename and re-parent to the Works tree. Normally "in fiction" categories contain "works set in", "fictional people" and "fictional locations". But in the above case there are only works. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:10, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: selective merge. There's really not a need to diffuse by century for a modern political orientation SMasonGarrison 04:45, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • We divide writers by century because we can go back to antiquity and middle ages. If writing would have started in the 19th century we would probably also not diffuse them by century. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:14, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, for pretty much the same reasons as above. I would add that it's a good idea to organize by centuries to signify different eras and who lived during that century. We would even do the same with religions, even ones that started in the 19th century.Suite1408 (talk) 12:12, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose unless you want to delete the supercat Category:Metaphors referring to animals (which I would also oppose), why pick on wolves.

The result of the discussion was: delete/merge/rename/split/reparent as nominated. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:42, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overlapping category tree with the actual administrative subdivision, the counties of Sweden. I have further diffused when possible from article info but about 100 articles remain and most of them fit in a county category. The workflow could be to reparent the articles manually and delete the category when it only contains categories. Numbers above refer to articles only in each category.

Nominator's rationale: To reduce the categories organised by the historical provinces of Sweden and instead use actual subdivisions.

Nominator's rationale: This contains films, which are normally categorised by country and decade, e.g. Category:2000s American films. Cinema categories by year are for festivals, awards etc, e.g. Category:2001 in American cinema. Norwegian decade film categories can immediately be populated with sub-cats for Norwegian-language films, since these are almost exclusively Norwegian. – Fayenatic London 08:37, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename as in the updated nomination. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:23, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The naming is just a bit confusing on the parent category, because it can be read as American describing the individual or the state. The real problem is in the subcategories, "Jewish American state legislators in Maine", as if some state legislators in Maine might not be American, which seems at least rather unlikely. Those should just be "Jewish state legislators in Maine". Nat Gertler (talk) 00:48, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But they are not necessarily “Russian.” Channels in this category are related to Russia, but they do not necessarily have to be Russian (also another case of "of Russia": Category:Mass media companies of Russia). --MocnyDuham (talk) 16:47, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: 'of Russia' makes it clear it's from the country. 'Russian...' could mean any Russian-language channels. The distinction is subtle, but important.

). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:05, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category, with no evidence of approval by Wikiproject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- the minimum bar for the creation of a stub category is 60 articles, so stub categories have to be proposed to the Wikiproject for approval. But there are just 22 articles here, and absolutely no evidence that the creator followed the proper process.
It's worth noting that the stub template has already existed since 2020, and was filing its entries in the target Category:Bharatiya Janata Party politician stubs until being modified in the past week to use this category instead -- and while some Indian states do have their own state-level subcategories of that, they're all over the 60 bar, and many more Indian states don't have their own state-level subcategories of the parent.
To be fair, the undifferentiated {{BJP-politician-stub}} is still on enough people that I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find evidence that at least 38 of them can be transferred here to get it over the bar -- but 22 articles isn't enough to warrant a dedicated subcategory here.

Nominator's rationale: Band albums category created solely to hold a single redirect that doesn't even actually lead to a standalone article about the band that recorded this album, but to a subsection in an article about the predecessor band that the band members were in before forming the band that recorded this album. And further, the album was just released today, so while it may attain sufficient notability in the future to pass
WP:NMUSIC, but we don't need this just to hold a single redirect to an ancestor band. Bearcat (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale:
Non-defining category for alumni of a youth summer camp. As always, we categorize people by their defining characteristics, not by every possible fact about their lives -- but these people are notable as actors, singers or filmmakers, not as alumni of a youth arts training program per se. Bearcat (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply
]
I recommend keeping it as a category because the program has so many famous and celebrated alumni, not unlike a university or other prestigious program! Mahalowallow (talk) 01:21, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's not justification for a category. Categories are not just lists, and are not created for just any characteristic you want to create a list of — we categorize people by their
defining characteristics. If and when Robert Downey Jr. dies, for example, the headline on his obituary is going to be "Actor Robert Downey Jr. dies", not "Stagedoor Manor alumnus Robert Downey Jr. dies" — so "actor" is a defining characteristic of his notability, while Stagedoor Manor is not.

The result of the discussion was: merge directly to the "place" category. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:29, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lean oppose. Do all of these categories reflect "culture in" those places? If I set a novel in Berlin, or Washington, D.C., but I don't live there, I'm not sure it would be "culture in" either of those places. The existing titles look better to me, since they don't say anything about where the fiction was written or whether it constitutes "culture". P Aculeius (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to "Category:Anti-Hispanic and Latino sentiment" and related names. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:32, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale The term "Hispanophobia" is vague and often refers to anti-Spanish sentiment specifically or perhaps to racism against all Hispanics/Spanish-speakers, but does not include all Latinos such as Brazilians or non-Spanish speaking Indigenous peoples of Latin America. It is both broader and more specific to say "anti-Hispanic and Latino American/Latino". A lot of the racism in the US is against Latinos anyway and not necessarily against Spaniards. For the main category I suggested "Hispanic and Latin American" rather than "Hispanic and Latino", because Latino is more of a US-centric word and isn't used as heavily in other places like Canada.

Nominator's rationale: Any stub category with "United States" in it (see below) should be
WP:CONSISTENT with the demographic naming style. In other words, they should say "American television" instead of "United States television" like all the other subcats at North American television stubs.

Nominator's rationale: Duplicate of Category:Metal Ligaen players which is the article name of the league and older category. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • One of the two cats should certainly be deleted/merged/redirected. You certainly have the current article name on your side, but I would be leaning towards renaming the article instead (and keeping the nominated cat and merging/redirecting Category:Metal Ligaen players to it) if that was an option. I can't find any guideline where it is said explictly, but I thought we generally avoided sponsored names as article titles (for neutrality reasons and because sponsors change). But obv, this isn't the forum to discuss the article's name, so deleting per nom is probably fine for now, and we just rename the kept cat if/when the article is moved. Felida97 (talk) 20:38, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NB: I just went through the leagues in Category:Top-tier ice hockey leagues in Europe, and afaics, the Danish one (Metal Ligaen) is the only one where the sponsor is in the article title (while the following leagues all have no sponsor in the article title, despite currently having one in their official name: Belarusian Extraleague, Czech Extraliga, Deutsche Eishockey Liga, Latvian Hockey Higher League, Ligue Magnus, Meistriliiga (ice hockey), Slovak Extraliga).
