April 27

[edit]

[edit]
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: merge to Category:People from Portuguese India. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: same thing, both created by Johnpacklambert. ('From' has been preferred to 'of' in such categories by former country.) Oculi (talk) 22:55, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra) 2019-present

[edit]
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: merge to Category:Members of the General Council (Andorra). Without an established category tree for General Council (Andorra) members by term, this is the only plausible outcome. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:54, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are already many categories titled like this for meetings of a national legislature, like Category:Members of the 1st Congress of Deputies (Spain) or Category:Members of the 2nd Dáil (Ireland). There is an associated page 8th General Council. In addition, this category title is now obsolete, as there was an election in April 2023 and a new legislature sits in the present. Unknown Temptation (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional geologists

[edit]
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: Move and Delete. All targets in categories discussed moved to either Category:Fictional scientists in films and/or Category: Fictional scientists in television and admin requests sent to close the now empty cats SanAnMan (talk) 14:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge targets into either Category: Fictional scientists in films or Category: Fictional scientists in television per WP:SMALLCAT. All geologists are scientists, and there is no need for such a narrow categorization when a much fuller and broader cat already exists. In fact Randy Marsh (South Park) is already listed in both cats. SanAnMan (talk) 14:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge One article and one redirect. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:05, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. The second part of the nom below. –Aidan721 (talk) 13:12, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support most per nom, but I'd rather leave 2000s floods in Oceania and 2000s floods in Brazil alone, in order to treat them the same as the rest of 21st century. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge All for Now With no objection to recreation if categories get to 5+ articles.

Category:Cancelled boxing matches

[edit]
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: merge & revert. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 13:19, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, not enough other cancelled boxing matches, so makes sense to upmerge. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Small categories are accepted in subcategorization scheme when it aids reader navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 10:27, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No such words in WP:SMALLCAT. Teterev53 (talk) 00:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you propose to upmerge Category:Aviation accidents and incidents in Fiji (two items now) also? Teterev53 (talk) 00:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • What size is needed for large scheme? Where I can read about it? The subcategories consist of big number of pages: 154 (association football), 107 (athletics), 25 (baseball), 38 (basketball) 35 (cricket), 68 (cycling), 17 (field hockey), 48 (figure skating), 41 (ice hockey), 94 (motorsport) etc. So, more than 700+ pages included in the subcats. Is it a large scheme or not? How much articles needed for large scheme? Teterev53 (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Revert additional categorical mess created by Teterev53. He has created categories for chess, equestrian and judo. ALL WITH ONE ARTICLE. Delete the new categories he has created in this tree. I have nominated them for merging back. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Aidan721. There is no 'large overall accepted' scheme. Oculi (talk) 22:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Revert The other categories created during this nomination per Aidan above. Maybe they were sincerely created, maybe WP:POINTY, but the appropriate course was to wait for a consensus to be reached here. (Note that this is a 2nd iVote, specific to the recent changes.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:26, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
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: Rename to Category:Individual apes involved in language studies Timrollpickering (talk) 11:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All category members except the main, Great ape language, are about individual apes. Other categories about individual animals usually make this explicit. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the 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/merge Timrollpickering (talk) 11:29, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_18#Category:Iraqi_people_by_ethnic_or_national_origin_and_occupation, as there is consensus against triple intersection of ethnicity, nationality, and occupation. All of these categories are also WP:SMALLCAT. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lankan civil servants by ethnicity

[edit]
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: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 20:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Follow-up to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_18#Category:Civil_servants_by_ethnicity, where people agreed to delete the tree despite the dubious decision to omit the subcategories, which were exclusively related to Sri Lanka with the exception of those pages in the Tamil one that aren't in the Sri Lanka category, who are Indians. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 11:05, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Virtual Studio games

[edit]
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: Merge Timrollpickering (talk) 20:36, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_April_17#Category:Loriciel_games, where both participants noted that Virtual Studio was a later name of Loriciel. In fact, this category was tagged without ever being formally added to the nomination. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Since Virtual Studio is basically Loriciels (see this source: https://archive.org/details/games-world-03/page/n9/mode/1up), i don't have any issues with the category merging with the Loriciel category. Roberth Martinez (talk) 21:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Murdered anarchists

[edit]
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: rename to Category:Assassinated anarchists. (@asilvering) (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 15:33, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Overcategorized intersection by identity trait—This is not a "combination that is recognized as a distinct/unique cultural topic in its own right", i.e., it would not be reasonable to create an article or list about this intersection. It also leads to classification of murder where it might be unclear or ambiguous, and implies a connection between the two attributes where there isn't always one. czar 04:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, it is a much better option, to be exact. Assassination is what matters here, not just a random murder. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:48, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Agree that assassination is politically relevant (and thus relevant to anarchist biographies), but I expect most of these belong in fact to Category:Executed anarchists, which already exists. If the category is renamed to Assassinated, someone will need to go through and double-check which bio goes where. I'm happy to do that if the category is renamed, if someone pings me about it. -- asilvering (talk) 21:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

more nominations
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT. Do not need to merge Category:1990s floods in Africa to Category:1990s floods since articles are in yearly flood cats. –Aidan721 (talk) 03:18, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
