|
| Deaths from heart attacks and strokes |
delete. Those who wrote in favor of deletion have the stronger, guideline-based arguments in these cases. Someone said, "Death is just as defining of an individual as their birth", but there are no categorization systems that distinguish, for instance, people born by caesarian or people born in a hospital. We don't even categorize by country or city of birth. (For those who claim that we do via categorization by nationality: Nationality is not always granted by birthright and it's not unusual for a person to be born as a non-national of the country they are born in.) Several other "keep" comments also appeared to confuse the principle of "definingness" with that of "notability". How a person died will probably almost always be notable and therefore will be mentioned in a biographical article, but that is not the equivalent of saying that it is defining for the person. Note that in closing this I considered the previous (or concurrent) discussions here and here. |

| “Lakes of…” categories duplicating "Lochs of..." in Scotland |
I think that there is a consensus here to convert the nominated categories to "Freshwater lochs of FOO" categories. However, I am just going to close this by merging them as originally nominated to the "Lochs of FOO" categories, and then if users wish they can create the "Freshwater lochs of FOO" categories. The reason I am doing this is that an unsubcategorized Category:Freshwater lochs of Scotland already exists, and creating subcategories by council area will require changing Category:Freshwater lochs of Scotland and Category:Lochs of FOO to Category:Freshwater lochs of FOO on every one of these articles, which is a task for manual processing. |
