December 5[edit]

Category:Anglican churches in South East Asia[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:Anglican churches in Southeast Asia. Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Does not fit in Wikipedia's regional categorization scheme, since there is no parent Category:South East Asia or Category:Christianity in South East Asia. The nominated category contains only three child categories so there's no navigational benefit of keeping it either. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for spotting! Prefer rename over original nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:08, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lutheranism by region[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.
Nominator's rationale: Categories that are subdivided in Africa, Asia, Europe etc. are usually called 'by continent', see Category:Categories by continent in general and Category:Christianity by continent in particular. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:39, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment some of these categories are not solely divided by continent, as they have regions and countries. "by continent" should therefore be a subcategory of "by region" in those cases. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:47, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. There is already a continent hierarchy within Category:Christianity by location. The Category:Christianity by region part of that should only be needed for regions that are not continents or countries, e.g. Arab World, Caribbean, or the sub-national examples in the United Methodist category. Where there are none of these, but only continents & counties, the parent should be "by location" rather than "by region". – Fayenatic London 17:58, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Fayenatic London's comments. The location/place type categories are highly intuitive and broad, and should be used more frequently. SFB 19:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Upmerge. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:23, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Petra (band) tribute albums[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: delete. Like the Oct 26 CFD linked in this discussion, this is a 2:1 vote for deletion, with a reasonably good and strongly held case against deletion. However, I have closed this in conjunction with Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 December 6#Category:Twisted Sister tribute albums where the same "keep" arguments were more clearly rejected. Even so, these do not provide a very strong precedent. Before any further such nominations, someone may wish to start a central discussion, probably at WT:WikiProject Albums, about the value of these one-member tribute album categories. (In case a future discussion reverses this outcome, the member page to be moved up is Never Say Dinosaur.) – Fayenatic London 21:43, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Too little content to justify split. —Justin (koavf)TCM 09:03, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – it would be nice if Koavf could link to previous discussions which support this sort of merge. Here is a recent cfd (26 Oct 2014) which does not. @KConWiki: supplies a very persuasive argument there for retention. And 'Petra (band) tribute album' is a (the) defining characteristic of a Petra tribute album. Oculi (talk) 15:40, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Categories are for navigating content with similar attributes. A one-article category cannot achieve this and is not part of a "Petra (band)" tree or national tree that would add navigational value. SFB 20:50, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thinkers[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. – Fayenatic London 18:18, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is no scheme of Category:Thinkers by religion or even Category:Thinkers: it's just an arbitrary group of clerics, writers, theologians, and philosophers. —Justin (koavf)TCM 02:34, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I doubt about this, as it's uncertain that the categories can be populated. This applies especially to Adventist writers - since Adventist theologians already have their own category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:04, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Thinkers is too broad to be a definitive or distinguishing feature. I understand Fayenatic's suggestion, but think those categories would be better created separately, if a need is evident, rather than as part of this nomination. SFB 20:53, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
