From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is an alphabetical index of decisions made at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Category Decision Discussion_log
Category:11th-century Norman people rename to Category:11th-century Normans. – April 21
Category:16th-century animal births no consensus. the merge targets such as Category:1516 deaths and Category:1655 deaths are subcats of Category:16th-century people and Category:17th-century people, so the effect would have been to categorise non-humans as "people".
This conflation of humans and non-humans would presumably be welcomed by opponents of speciesism, but it was not mentioned at any point in either the nomination or in the discussion, so I cannot judge that there is consensus to do it. A discussion which explicitly considered this effect might have a different outcome
April 13
Category:16th-century animal births merge per Option B, as the least objected proposition April 20
Category:1940s in Nizhny Novgorod merge/delete per nom April 5
Category:2018 in Singapore football speedy merge WP:C2C April 6
Category:24 Hours of Nürburgring drivers delete (noting that lists exist for 2009 onwards, currently held in Category:24 Hours Nürburgring). – April 30
Category:2nd millennium in the Republic of Siena delete. – April 28
Category:Actors by medium keep. – April 28
Category:Administrative divisions of Nizhny Novgorod merge. – April 18
Category:AfC draft tagging templates delete (non-admin closure) April 19
Category:AfC submissions with discussion pages delete (non-admin closure) April 21
Category:Airports in Nizhny Novgorod merge April 18
Category:Al Nasr SC players rename April 10
Category:Al-Mokawloon al-Arab players rename to match head article El Mokawloon SC April 8
Category:All articles requiring attention procedural close, both template and category appear to have been deleted already. (non-admin closure) April 30
Category:American Catholics by state and 3 others Procedural close. I am sure this was all well-intentioned, but it is a big procedural mess: a nominated category which has been moved already, and possibly some new cats already created. So I will close it, try to restore the status quo ante, and then update this close April 17
Category:American rappers keep (non-admin closure) April 26
Category:Angiosperms of Asia delete.
This is just the latest in a series of CfDs in which there has been a consensus to delete or upmerge categories created by @Caftaric. I will leave a note about this on the user's talk page
April 17
Category:Animated Wonder Woman films keep April 4
Category:Anti-corruption non-governmental organizations  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 May 3#Category:Anti-corruption non-governmental organizations April 6
Category:Armenian people from Istanbul merge to (i) Category:People from Istanbul or appropriate sub-cats, and (ii) Category:Turkish Armenians or Category:Armenians of the Ottoman Empire as appropriate. – April 12
Category:Arthropods by century of formal description merge. – April 26
Category:ARU referees no consensus April 13
Category:Association for Research and Enlightenment delete April 7
Category:Band of Brothers characters no consensus (non-admin closure) April 16
Category:Band of Brothers characters relisted, see here (non-admin closure) April 6
Category:Barlas no consensus April 10
Category:Barons de Brus delete. This has been a difficult discussion to weigh. There is consensus that the current category is inappropriate, but no consensus that the suggested renamings would create a valid category, and no clear consensus to delete.
However, since nobody supports keeping the category as is, I judge that the least-worst close is to delete the category now, without prejudice to creating a new and better-named category which may include some or all of the 7 pages currently in the category (Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale, Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale, Robert de Brus, 4th Lord of Annandale, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale, William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale, Robert the Bruce).
Pinging the particpants @PatGallacher, Peterkingiron, Marcocapelle, Dimadick, and DrKay, who may want to take follow-up action
April 10
Category:Big Sky football team navigational boxes no consensus April 3
Category:Big Sky football team navigational boxes speedy keep per WP:CSK. The same proposal was made by the same nominator at CfD 2018 April 3, and closed on 11 April as no consensus. Bringing the same proposal back again less than 2 weeks later is blatant WP:FORUMSHOPping. Leave it for at least a few months April 24
Category:Bigg Boss participants delete April 27
Category:Bigg Boss participants relisted, see here (non-admin closure) April 17
Category:Bisexual members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom delete April 5
Category:Book of Revelation verses delete April 11
Category:Boycotts of television no consensus.
(@Wumbolo: a nomination such as this has little chance of success unless you supply a reason why you believe it has no potential for growth. Assertion is not reasoning.)
April 9
Category:Broken hearts no consensus on deletion, but a consensus that if kept it should be renamed to Category:Broken heart. So rename April 4
Category:Brooke Hogan albums keep April 16
Category:Burial sites by nationality merge (non-admin closure) April 9
Category:Burials at Forest Hills Cemetery rename & merge April 24
Category:Category namespace yawn. See WP:Rules_for_Fools#The_rules. No blocked for vandalism April 1

Category:Christian ethics in the Bible no consensus April 26
Category:Civil services & other bureaucracies in fiction rename. – April 30
Category:Commonwealth Coast Conference football merge (non-admin closure) April 30
Category:Community-based organizations Rename to Category:Community organizations April 10
Category:Confraternal orders merge. It currently only contains Order of Saint Joachim, which I will also add into another parent Category:Confraternities. – April 23
Copa América & Category:1923 South American Championship merge Category:1923 Copa América to Category:1923 South American Championship and merge Category:1924 Copa América to Category:1924 South American Championship. (non-admin closure) April 27

Category:Counties of Appalachia no consensus April 4
Category:Crimean Tatar communities and territories Merge to Category:Crimean Tatars April 4

Category:Divine command theory delete. – April 15
Category:Educational organisations in the Czech Republic merge per nom April 6
Establishments in Austria in prior to 1919 no consensus for merges to Austria-Hungary. There are two grounds for opposition here. (i) The nominator has made yet another partial nomination, omitting various parents and siblings, even though some support at the previous CFD was conditional on the nominator following up with a full nomination. (ii) There is no current consensus on whether "anachronistic" categories should be used, as part of the category hierarchy of a present-day entity; an RFC on the general principle at Category talk:Years by country was inconclusive. Nevertheless, I find sufficient approval here to redirect the first five nominated categories to "Austrian Empire", as a tidy-up to the previous nomination which emptied them of their former contents. – April 22
Category:Ethnic Armenian lawyers no consensus. This nomination of 8 ethnicity/occupation intersections was based on the proposition that none of the categories meets the test set out in WP:EGRS: that the intersection is "recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic".
.However nobody provided any evidence either way, so the balance of !votes amounts to a balance of ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT, which can only be closed as "no consensus". A nomination such which relies on an individual assessment of each category is more likely to produce a consensus outcome if it deals with only one category (or maybe a small number of closely-related categories), so that editors can do some research and offer more than unevidenced assertion
April 2
Category:Etruscan religion keep April 5
Category:European "Years" rename to Category:Themed years of the European Union. – April 28
Category:Events at the 1997 European Athletics U23 Championships rename; merge in the case of 2011. – April 13

Category:Flagship Program relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 19#Category:Flagship_Program April 3
Category:Flagship Program delete. I have put four of the members into Category:Proposed NASA space probes to ensure that they remain in the NASA category hierarchy. If they are not space probes, please correct this. – April 19
Category:Foreign-born players in Spain national basketball teams Selectively merge to Category:Expatriate basketball people in Spain April 2
Category:Fraternal benefit orders split to Category:Fraternal orders and Category:Fraternal service organizations. The word "benefit" may point to the latter being the best match, but I will leave it to another editor to examine the contents sufficiently. The category page should probably be kept as a category disambiguation page April 23
Category:French anti-cult organizations and individuals relisted at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 19#Category:French_anti-cult_organizations_and_individuals April 6
Category:French anti-cult organizations and individuals Withdrawn by nominator (WP:CSK) April 19

Category:History books about the Holocaust keep. – April 23

Category:International partnerships relisted at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 19#Category:International_partnerships April 6

Category:Late Iron Age Scotland no consensus April 12
Category:Latina Rappers delete April 4
Category:LGBT people from Rivers State merge (non-admin closure) April 30
Category:Lists of clans based in Korea rename to Category:Korean clans by clan village. The current category name is inaccurate, and while renaming it to the new title isn't perfect, it better reflects the category's contents April 29
Category:Lists of peerages no admin action required (non-admin closure) April 8
Category:Literary gatherings in Sindh merge. – April 28
Category:Lithuanian resistance partisans merge (non-admin closure) April 8
Category:Lowbrow pop surrealism artists delete April 21
Magmatism not igneous petrology procedural close. Regardless of the discussion below, a CfD nomination cannot be weighed as a consensus to change anything unless a) each category is tagged, and b) each category is listed in the discussion with a clear indication of what change is proposed to it. This is to ensure that editors are properly notified of the discussion, and that the changes are clear.
Without that, no discussion here can be considered a valid consensus. This discussion does not meet those criteria (no tagging, no list), so leaving it open would be a waste of everyone's time.
@Mamayuco: @Marcocapelle has already pointed to WP:CFD#HOWTO. Feel free to open a new nomination per those steps
April 16
Magmatism not igneous petrology rename. – April 17

Category:Muscat, Oman keep (non-admin closure) April 24
Musical theatre actors Withdrawn by nominator April 28
Category:Neighbourhoods in Cochrane District delete. I will merge the contents initially to Category:Neighbourhoods in Ontario (which contains two out of three already) and to Category:Populated places in Cochrane District etc. If for some reason this is unhelpful, feel free to change it again. – April 19

Category:Norman religious buildings rename to Category:English churches with Norman architecture, splitting to a new parent Category:Churches with Norman architecture for the ones not in England. I acknowledge that these names are not consistent with other categories, so they might be considered again later. – April 28
Category:Norman religious leaders rename to Category:Norman clerics given benefices in England, without prejudice to re-creating this or a similar parent category if it appears useful to do so. – April 30
Category:Nothing delete April 10

Category:People from Forest Hills, Pennsylvania merge (non-admin closure) April 7
Category:People from Holubivka rename. – April 22
Category:People from Indiana in World War II delete. There seems to be no need to merge; I checked the first 5, and they are in appropriate other categories for Indiana, and 4/5 were in categories for US military – for the other, this was not mentioned in the article. – April 26
Category:People from Ipswich keep without prejudice to a fresh re-nomination that includes all subcategories. (non-admin closure) April 20
Category:People from Lebanon, New Jersey merge (non-admin closure) April 2

Category:People from South Derbyshire Rename April 1
Category:People from Wall, Pennsylvania merge. (non-admin closure) April 1
Category:People who follow a straight edge lifestyle no consensus to rename, but there is consensus to purge and to add text clarifying the limits of the category more clearly. @Lugnuts, DexDor, and Ojo del Tigre: I will leave implementation to editors' discretion, hopefully you are willing to assist. I'll list this at WP:CFDWM as well. The late rename proposal hasn't been discussed in depth, there is no objection against an early renomination of this. (non-admin closure) April 25

Category:Potential predatory journals delete category, with no decision here about a list. For info, an article Cabell's blacklist has just been started, and two pages listing the current category members are linked in the discussion below. – April 14
Category:Professional wrestling jobbers no consensus. Despite the weakness of the !votes to keep, I judge that this falls just short of a consensus to delete. A discussion which focused on the guideline WP:SUBJECTIVECAT might have had a clear outcome April 12
Category:Proto-facsists speedy delete per WP:G7 April 7
Province of Venice merge "communes"; there is no consensus to merge "people" to "people from Venice", so rename it along with the others. – April 22
Category:Province of Venice no consensus April 13

Category:Tourist traps no consensus April 25
Category:Transit authorities with hybrid buses delete as no longer defining April 3
Category:Trump associates associated with Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections delete. Counting heads, the delete !voters have only a narrow lead ... but of course WP:NOTVOTE. In this case, the delete arguments are better founded in policy, esp WP:RECENTISM and a rare double layer of WP:OCASSOC April 8
Category:Ukrainian Cossack nobility rename per nom, but with "the" added to the second rename target, i.e. Category:Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks‎ to Category:Hetmans of the Zaporozhian Cossacks‎ April 12

Category:United States private paramilitary groups rename April 7
Category:Vennandur block no consensus. Weird deletion rationale by nominator, no responses.
@Mark the train: unless you explain why you think the page doesn't actually serve the purpose of a category, then the nomination is a waste of time
April 9
Category:Vertebrates of Benin merge. – April 21
Category:Video game locations no consensus April 12
Category:Viking Age in Scotland merge to Category:Scandinavian Scotland April 10
Category:Violent non-state actors stop using the category; the outcome will be manual merge and disambiguate. There is some support to merge the current member articles to Category:Rebel militia groups‎, but the latter has a hierarchy of sub-categories which ought to be used instead. Three sub-categories in VNSA have a lead article that is already in Category:Irish republican militant groups, so I will move their matching categories there too. The other member categories (UVA, UVF) are in Category:Proscribed paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland which is more specific than VNSA and may be sufficient. I will add the member article Kosovo Liberation Army into Category:Paramilitary organizations based in Yugoslavia which contains its eponymous category already. I will place the main topic article into all the parent categories, and make the category page a disambiguation page for Category:Rebel militia groups‎, Category:Organized crime groups and Category:Organizations designated as terrorist. – April 6
Category:Vishal–Shekhar soundtracks delete for now (non-admin closure) April 24
Category:Vishal–Shekhar soundtracks relisted, see here April 16

Category:Zaporozhian Cossacks rename April 12
