Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Archive debates/2013 June index
The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
| Category | Decision | Discussion_log |
|---|---|---|
| Category:1826 establishments in Turkey | Rename/merge. If we need to categorize as both, the years in categories can contain both Turkey and Ottoman Empire | June 10 |
| Category:1854 establishments in Montana | No consensus. The is a consensus to change, however this needs to be examined at the article level. So, editors are free to appropriately re categorize. If that results in this category being emptied, it should be brought back here for a review | June 25 |
| Category:1855 establishments in Germany | Keep | June 6 |
| Category:1864 establishments in Germany | Keep | June 6 |
| Category:1868 establishments in Germany | Keep | June 6 |
| Category:1889 establishments in Malaya | Rename to Category:1889 establishments in British Malaya | June 3 |
| Category:1891 establishments in Finland | No consensus | June 18 |
| Category:1893 establishments in Malaysia | Rename to Category:1893 establishments in British Malaya | June 3 |
| Category:1901 establishments in Malaya | Rename per nom. If category parents are needed in the Malaya tree they can be added after the rename. I will note the other discussions, but the comments here indicate a consensus. This close should be reviewed when and if we develop a policy on how to handle all of these | June 19 |
| Category:1903 establishments in Poland | No consensus. I think the comments at the very end of the discussion about Congress Poland point that maybe there is more to this issue. I suggest the interested editors consider the comments here and then decide how to proceed | June 20 |
| Category:1903 establishments in South Africa | No consensus | June 7 |
| Category:1904 establishments in South Africa | No consensus | June 7 |
| 1905 establishments in Israel | Rename/merge per nom. Not sure how the point of Ottoman Syria affect this, but since one of these was a merge, the action as proposed seemed logical. If Ottoman Syria is the better direction, then a group rename is needed | June 6 |
| Category:1911 establishments in Ukraine | 'Delete, probably should have been a speedy for that reason. There is no consensus her to overturn the previous close. To make sure nothing leaves a proper tree, this will be a merge to Category:1911 establishments in Russia | June 18 |
| 1913 establishments in Poland | No consensus. To match the 1903 close that I just did. There are many valid points raised in these discussions. I'm not sure how these will wind up, but clearly there are some issues with keeping or outright deletion | June 19 |
| Category:1915 establishments in Poland | No consensus. To match the 1903 close that I just did. There are many valid points raised in these discussions. I'm not sure how these will wind up, but clearly there are some issues with keeping or outright deletion | June 19 |
| Category:1920s in Saudi Arabia | No consensus. Closing this before we reach consensus on the 1927 categories would be inappropriate as this is part of a series | June 17 |
| 1927 establishments in Saudi Arabia | No consensus. I think that based on the previous discussions, this might have been closed as a rename. However I noticed that there is no category tree for the Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz. Which begs the question of what name should be used for the category, 'Kingdom of Nejd and Hejaz' or 'Nejd and Hejaz'? If we were to allow the move, then it would be a category without the rest of the country tree. I don't think that would be wise. Yes, there would be a parent to Saudi Arabia, but would that be enough? After almost 2 months of discussion, I think there are too many questions to close this any other way | June 18 |
| Category:1928 Summer Olympic venues | Keep | June 6 |
| 1935 establishments in Zambia | Rename | June 18 |
| Category:1936 establishments in Guinea-Bissau | Rename | June 5 |
| Category:1936 in Guinea-Bissau | Rename | June 6 |
| Category:1939 establishments in Moldova | No consensus. In other words, do not delete at this time. That does not mean nothing needs to be done. There are issues which clearly are not resolved for a few years around this time. More discussion is needed, but I'm not sure where. I'm concerned that the discussion is complicated by restoring a deleted category without a discussion knowing that this would be contentious and maybe even WP:POINTy. I'm also bothered that the editor who did this did not mention it in their first comment here. Maybe the split solution is the best, but I suspect that there will be objections to anyone doing that. If all else fails, this needs to be brought back here for the discussion again. Maybe that nomination could take into consideration the points raised here and find a workable compromise? | June 11 |
| 1971 establishments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo | Rename | June 9 |
| Category:1989 establishments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo | Rename. Fell free to add other parent categories and redirects as needed. The higher level can be a new nomination or wait and see if the RFC provides any guidance | June 4 |
| Category:21st Century Fox subsidiaries | No consensus. There was no discussion here on this being a member of Category:Corporate subsidiaries by company | June 30 |
| Category:24 Hours of Le Mans race cars | do not merge; this is without prejudice to a future nomination to rename to Category:Race cars developed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans or similar. Even if not renamed, the category could use a definition | June 12 |
| Category:280s BC establishments in Turkey | Merge as nominated. The question of Turkey vs. Asia Minor is a correct question, but this is beyond the scope of this discussion | June 26 |
| Category:311 members | Delete | June 19 |
| Category:993 establishments in Bohemia | Merge | June 21 |
| Category:ABC Sport | delete | June 5 |
| Category:Albums produced by Daft Punk | Merge | June 20 |
| Category:Albums recorded in Slovenia | No consensus | June 12 |
| Category:Allied occupation of Romania | Rename | June 11 |
| Category:Amateur radio organizations in India | rename | June 8 |
| Category:American members of Reformed Christian churches | Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 August 4#Category:American members of Reformed Christian churches | June 11 |
| Category:American serial killers by State | merge all to Category:American serial killers and the appropriate subcat of Category:American criminals by state | June 12 |
| American soccer players by State | keep. - and was withdrawn by the nominator over a month ago | June 4 |
| Category:American torturers | no consensus | June 22 |
| Category:Amphibious vehicles of the Cold War | Delete. The sole article was already in a period category. As was pointed out in the discussion, there do not appear to be sufficient articles on this type of vehicle to populate a tree like this. Creation can be considered if we have more articles. I would suggest discussing with the military history project to assess the need for this type of tree as well as the strength of any support before recreation | June 3 |
| Category:Anglican Church of Burundi | Keep | June 11 |
| Category:Anti-Muslim organizations from Sri Lanka | rename | June 9 |
| Category:Anti-Muslim pogroms in India | Delete. As was pointed out, the main article was deleted for violation of NPOV. It has been deleted 6 times. So if the article title has POV issues, then that would apply to the category also. If the existence of the article can be fixed, then we can review the appropriateness of a category | June 4 |
| Category:Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame | Listify. Deletion would lose information, so the contents have been listified in Appalachian Trail Museum and the category can be deleted | June 19 |
| Category:Appalachian Trail people | upmerge to Category:Appalachian Trail and purge. There might be enough of a lean toward deletion for a delete result, but that seems a bit draconian. Some of these people seem quite important to the Appalachian Trail's history, while others just hiked it. So I'm putting them all in the trail category and letting folks attentive to that category sort it out | June 27 |
| Category:Arthurian locations | no consensus | June 2 |
| Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles | merge | June 9 |
| Category:Articles with attributed pull quotes | No consensus | June 26 |
| Category:Articles with non-English language external links | Rename | June 1 |
| Category:Articles wtih Jakaltek language external links | delete | June 27 |
| Baptist clergy | rename to "ministers" form. I realize this wasn't clear-cut, so let me break it down. First, the count (I know, I know—consensus is not a vote count—but you've got to start somewhere when trying to figure out overall preferences). There were three options that were presented: "ministers" (nomination), "religious leaders" (alternate proposal), and "clergy" (status quo). Since there were three options, some users (but not all) ranked their top two preferences. "Ministers" received three #1 votes and zero #2 votes. "Religious leaders" received two #1 votes and one #2 vote. "Clergy" received zero #1 votes and two #2 votes. It seems that a "no consensus" result is therefore going to be looked upon favourably by no one, since that would result in defaulting to "clergy", which no one chose as their #1 preference. So it's worthwhile here to make a decision between "ministers" and "religious leaders". On pure numbers, "ministers" was slightly favoured. The fact that Category:Presbyterian clergy by nationality was renamed to Category:Presbyterian ministers by nationality and Category:Methodist clergy was renamed to Category:Methodist ministers lends some further strength in favour of "ministers". True, Category:Protestant ministers by denomination and Category:Protestant clergy by denomination were both renamed to Category:Protestant religious leaders by denomination, but "Protestant" is much broader than "Presbyterian", "Methodist", or "Baptist", and this close brings consistency between the latter three category trees. | June 5 |
| Category:Best Special Effects Academy Award winners | merge | June 16 |
| Category:Books divided into chapters and verses | delete | June 2 |

| Category:Carolina Ballet | delete | June 16 |
| Category:Cars assembled in Australia | delete as not WP:DEFINING. In case anyone wants to make a list article, I will paste the current contents at Portal talk:Australian cars. – | June 7 |
| Categories - Order of Loyalty to the Crown of Malaysia (General) | rename all for now, but per Lquilter's comments, this is without prejudice to a future nomination for deletion | June 7 |
| Categories: History artists and Historical painters | rename to Category:History painters and Category:19th-century painters of historical subjects respectively. The latter is not Category:19th-century history painters to avoid ambiguity over painters of 19th-century history. I will leave it to the interested editors to recategorise other C19 artists into the sub-category as appropriate. – | June 6 |
| Category:Catholic Apostolic Churches | rename | June 13 |
| Category:Celebrity food experts | Delete | June 3 |
| Category:Celebrity-endorsed video games | Delete | June 4 |
| Category:Chinese city stubs | delete. I'm also closing this related discussion as "delete". | June 10 |

| Category:Dams in India by river (sub cats) | rename to Category:Dams on the XXXX River format | June 13 |
| Category:Depeche Mode members | keep | June 5 |
| Category:Disney videos and DVDs | Merge to Category:Disney films. Consensus was actually for a delete, but that would have left some articles without a parent in the Disney or film tree | June 4 |
| Drugs | cleanup, no consensus for changes, except that I will take this as authority to replace Category:Video games about drugs with Category:Video games about illegal drug trade and purge it of works that casually reference drug use. – | June 10 |
| Category:Dutch Reformed Christians | Rename. I think I got the renames right, if I missed any, let me know and I'll fix | June 14 |
| Category:Esperanto language | no action: at time of close Category:Esperanto language simply redirects to Category:Esperanto (a non-participant in this discussion merged them); main article is at Esperanto. | June 5 |
| Establishments in Cape Colony by year | Rename. This is about the need to use 'the' and not the anything else | June 12 |
| Category:European Capitals of Culture | Delete | June 30 |
| Category:Fandom webcomics | Rename | June 19 |
| Category:Fiction writers | there is no consensus for implementing this proposal right now (the categories were not tagged in any case), but there was some indication in the discussion that users would be open to and would welcome further discussion on this issue. | June 15 |
| Category:Fictional survivors | delete | June 22 |
| Category:Films starring actors portraying characters with the same first name | Delete | June 13 |
| Category:Films starring Jim Carrey | speedily delete per G4 as re-created material. Category:Jim Carrey films was deleted here and a number of other times, and consensus on these types of "films by actor" categories has been unwavering through the years. | June 17 |

| Category:Fitness stubs | delete (merged to Category:Health stubs) | June 10 |

| Category:Hassan Rouhani | keep | June 15 |
| Category:High Fantasy Films and TV Series | Split | June 20 |
| Category:History of the Ottoman Empire by province | rename | June 11 |
| History of Upper Volta | No consensus. I will note that the point was raised about the results of {{estcatCountry|xxx|x|country name}} being used. If that template is not appropriate for any category it does not have to be used, so bad parent categories created by that category should not hold back otherwise proper changes | June 4 |
| Category:Host cities of the Olympic Games | Delete | June 4 |
| Category:Imprisoned Buddhist monks | delete. (If anyone wants to consider the articles for inclusion in Category:Persecution of Buddhists, the articles in the category were banishment of Buddhist monks from Nepal, Kumar Kashyap Mahasthavir, Bauddha Rishi Mahapragya, Pragyananda Mahasthavir, and Sudarshan Mahasthavir. There was no consensus as to which of these, if any, should be selectively upmerged, so I'm not performing any, but that doesn't mean that users can't pursue the issue. The listifying to Persecution of Buddhists option was also mentioned.) | June 5 |
| Category:Industrial designs | Delete | June 29 |
| Category:Innovators | keep as container category. Include Category:Discoverers and lists as appropriate. Manual checks are needed to listify/categorise where appropriate; I volunteer. – | June 6 |

| Category:Janice Levin Dancer Honorees | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Jerash Private University | delete for now | June 2 |
| Category:JFK Olimps Rīga | keep but rename to Category:JFK Olimps | June 2 |
| Category:John Seward Johnson II | delete | June 2 |
| Category:Johnny Bench Award winners | Delete | June 19 |
| Category:Jordanian Armed Forces | No consensus. Category now has three members so a discussion that started with one member could be misleading. No problem with an immediate new nomination based on the current contents and the discussion here | June 30 |
| Kategori:Milletlerine göre tarih dolaşım şablonları | speedied | June 9 |
| Category:Knights and Dames Grand Crosses of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre | rename | June 26 |

| Category:Lighthouses in Connecticut by county | keep | June 3 |
| Category:Lighthouses in New England | merge. – | June 3 |
| Category:Lists of organisations based in Russia | No consensus. The point was made in other discussions that it is acceptable to us either the 'z' spelling or the 's' spelling in UK English. In this discussion there was no mention of that instead just arguing to use the UK spelling | June 9 |
| Category:Local Government in Belfast | Rename | June 1 |
| Category:Locations in the Iliad | No consensus | June 30 |

| Category:Members of provincial executive councils | Rename | June 21 |
| Category:Members of the Institute of Directors | Delete | June 20 |
| Category:Methodist clergy | Merge. There seem to be several unresolved questions, but a merge was clearly indicated. Looks like some cleanup may be needed. If that reveals a need for a new nomination so be it | June 5 |

| Category:North Carolina Music Hall of Fame inductees | Delete | June 6 |
| Category:Novels about bats | Delete | June 18 |
| Category:Oil fields in China | merge to Category:Oil fields in China, noting with a caveat that presently there is not much consistency one way or the other in Category:Oil fields by country. | June 7 |
| Category:Oil fields in Ecuador | merge to Category:Oil fields in Ecuador, noting with a caveat that presently there is not much consistency one way or the other in Category:Oil fields by country. | June 7 |

| Category:Organizations based in France | No consensus | June 9 |
| Category:Organizations based in Greenland | No consensus. This one does need to be rediscussed since both categories do exist. I'm not relisting since this discussion is so old. Maybe more of a reason on the nomination would help | June 9 |
| Category:Organizations based in in the United Arab Emirates | rename | June 9 |
| Category:Organizations based in Lithuania | No consensus. The point was made in other discussions that it is acceptable to us either the 'z' spelling or the 's' spelling in UK English. In this discussion there was no mention of that instead just arguing to use the UK spelling | June 9 |

| Category:Ottoman Imperial School of Military Engineering | Merge to Category:Istanbul Technical University | June 29 |
| Category:PacifiCat-class ferries | Delete | June 1 |
| Category:Parent categories | delete. The one editor defending this category has not come up with a clear purpose & justification for it, distinct from container categories and fundamental categories. At present it contains a rather odd collection of just 48 categories, some of which are in sets e.g. films by parameter, but mostly unrelated; it will not be much of a loss, nor hard to reinstate if a different consensus emerges elsewhere or later. – | June 5 |
| Category:People associated with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki | Keep, with Category:Manhattan Project people as a "see also" | June 9 |
| Category:People expelled from school | Delete | June 28 |
| Category:People from Belarus | Merge. Consensus was to merge. There was some discussion that this should be a reverse merge. But the majority were for the merge in the direction proposed | June 19 |

| Category:People from Hewitt, Texas | Merge | June 27 |

| Category:Protestant ministers by denomination | ALT-2: merge Category:Protestant ministers by denomination to Category:Protestant clergy by denomination to a new Category:Protestant religious leaders by denomination | June 5 |
| Category:Race Results on Tracks | rename to Category:Race results by motorsport venue | June 22 |
| Category:Real Atlético Garcilaso footballers | rename | June 8 |
| Category:Reissue albums | procedural close: as suggested below, it seems fair to have some reasonable gap between the previous discussion and a new discussion, even if the previous discussion was closed as "no consensus". Essentially, so far we're just re-hashing the same arguments made there. I suggest a minimum of 8 weeks, but that's just a guideline and shouldn't be regarded as any sort of "red line". That should be long enough for those who support the category to define it, populate it, develop it and maintain it. It should also be long enough to start and resolve discussions on some of the content articles (some have suggested articles about reissue albums should be merged to the articles about the albums). But as noted, if limited to articles such as Bad 25, which are explicitly articles about reissued albums, the category has a stronger argument for being defining for the contents. | June 13 |
| Category:Religion in the United States by county | Delete | June 26 |
| Category:Retired Angolan basketball players | delete | June 13 |
| Category:Rob Schneider | delete. I have added "see also" links for the current sub-cats to the main article. – | June 17 |
| Category:Roman Catholic church buildings in Montana | rename; I took the old/previous discussions into account when closing this discussion | June 24 |
| Category:Royal Norwegian Navy guided missiles | delete | June 8 |
| Category:Salon (magazine) | Delete | June 1 |
| Category:Scale the Summit | delete | June 12 |
| Category:Screenshots of comic strips | delete; single item in category placed in Category:Non-free comic images, since it is a non-free comic image. If there are any free comic images, the proposed category could be created. | June 26 |
| Category:Shark in popular culture | delete | June 18 |
| Category:Slacker comedies | Delete | June 3 |
| Category:Slave traders and slave holders | merge & split to Category:British slave traders and Category:Planters of the British West Indies (following Category:People of the British West Indies). – | June 20 |
| Category:Social enterprise | No consensus. That was easy! I think there could be consensus to rename Category:Social entrepreneurship, but this multiple rename did not allow that issue to have a clear result. Also, it is clear that something needs to be done to cleanup this area. So, back to the drawing board. Maybe with some cleanup, a new approach or individual nominations consensus could be determined | June 17 |
| Category:Sodaplay | Delete | June 29 |
| Category:Solo instrumental jazz albums | merge Category:Solo instrumental jazz albums, Category:Solo guitar jazz albums, and Category:Solo piano jazz albums to Category:Jazz albums and Category:Instrumental albums. | June 13 |
| Category:Songs written by Blaine Larsen | keep | June 26 |
| Category:South Indian films | delete per G4; appears to be an attempt to do an end-run around the previous discussion. As I set out in the close there, there might be a justification for a Category:Dravidian-language films, but there is consensus against using "South Indian" as the descriptor. It is best to avoid accusing other editors of "Eurocentrism" or any other type of systemic bias. | June 19 |
| Category:Spencer Airways | delete | June 22 |
| Stores | keep | June 28 |
| Category:Straight edge individuals | delete | June 10 |

| Category:The Killing (U.S. TV series) | keep | June 11 |
| Category:Trucks of India | keep, with leave for proposing renaming immediately | June 25 |
| Category:User information templates | Delete | June 10 |
| Category:User miq | keep. I note that Template:User miq-1 was changed on 11 June so that its members no longer also populate this top category. That follows e.g. Template:User fr-1 but not some others e.g. Template:User ga-1 which currently also populates its top category. – | June 10 |
| Category:Vegans | delete | June 10 |
