The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 June 21#Category:Human–animal linguistic communication. ℯxplicit 04:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Why should we constrain it to linguistic communication? It would be better to use the broader category. Alternatively a superordinate category could be created but I don't think there's enough pages to warrant that. Fixuture (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:00, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disperse content among the two parent categories, then delete, this category is mixing up three relatively unrelated topics: talking animals, animal language and human-animal communication. There is too little content to split, so merging is a better idea. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rulers of Kievan Rus'[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: no consensus on target name. ℯxplicit 04:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename in order to clarify that this is for princes of Kiev proper rather than for princes in the entire Kievan Rus' federation of principalities. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Fayenatic london: That's a fair comment. I was looking for some name to disambiguate this category from e.g. Category:12th-century princes in Kievan Rus' which contains princes of any small principality in the wider Kievan Rus' region. To be more precise the latter could be called Category:12th-century rulers of Kievan Rus' principalities. In contrast, the nominated category is clearly for rulers of the early undivided principality with Kiev as its capital. It should be noted that while Kievan Rus' has become the common name, it is also merely a modern historiographic name while the rulers at the time simply called themselves princes and grand princes (or dukes and grand dukes, dependent on translation) of Kiev.

Ottoman history by country[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 all as Option C, "Ottoman period in Foo". ℯxplicit 04:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Option A: rename all to "Ottoman ..."
Option B: rename all to "Ottoman period in the history of ..."
Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency. Either option is fine with me. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:16, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's call this option C. Better than option B for sure, as said it's briefer. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:History of the Catholic Church[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: withdrawn. ℯxplicit 23:30, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename to allow Catholicism topics that aren't strictly within the Catholic Church, e.g. Category:Catholic Worker Movement is already in the category, and Category:Roman Catholics by century and Category:Catholic political parties may be added. This is follow-up on an earlier discussion in which User:Chicbyaccident was also involved. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:07, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I take it we got a 1 against 3 here. What do you think about the arguments presented for a reverse merge, Marcocapelle (talk · contribs)? Chicbyaccident (talk) 09:05, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see what you mean. However, what about having these categorised in Category:Catholicism, in addition to possibly Category:Catholic Church in the United States (and equivalent)? I have a scepticism about depth structure under Category:Catholicism - as a result of perceiving the category as somewhat problematic per se. However, to conclude, I can support your latest suggestion here above as an improvement at least. Chicbyaccident (talk) 10:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The thinking here has gotten quite muddled. Recommend nom withdraws and proposals a new proposal. Laurel Lodged (talk) 08:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Feel free to ping me when you do that. Chicbyaccident (talk) 12:20, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame is not a defining characteristic for any of the individuals included in the category. Alansohn (talk) 01:59, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. – Sabbatino (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I do not favour Hall of Fame categories, but sometimes get jumped on when I say so. I think the criterion should be whether the Hall of Fame is a physical museum (which we might keep) or just a virtual one, consisting of a list that is someone's original research (which we should not). Which is this? Peterkingiron (talk) 12:11, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and per WP:OCAWARD. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:13, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The New Jersey Hall of Fame is real, but it's not in an actual building. It's more of an on-line tributeVincelord (talk) 16:22, 13 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
