  • Merge for Now With no objection to recreating later if we ever get up to 5 or so articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Jewish resistance fighters[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:Jewish resistance members during the Holocaust. ℯxplicit 02:09, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Currently, there is no distinction made between armed and nonviolent resistance. The Jewish resistance article states, "According to historical scholar Yehuda Bauer, Jewish resistance was defined as actions that were taken against all laws and actions acted by Germans". The vast majority of people involved in resistance by that definition did not bear arms and were therefore not "fighters". Furthermore, the Nazis themselves defined Jews as dangerous and violent in order to justify their extermination. A good example is Masha Bruskina, previously listed in this category, a seventeen-year-old Jewish girl engaged in nonviolent resistance. Before the Germans executed her, they forced her to parade through the streets with a sign saying that she was a partisan who shot German soldiers. I propose a main category Category:Jewish resistance members (currently redirects to Category:Jewish resistance fighters) with the following subcats: Category:Jewish partisans, Category:Participants in ghetto uprisings, and Category:Jews in nonviolent resistance. Catrìona (talk) 05:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That makes it much clearer indeed. Support rename to "members" per nom. In fact, with this rename, we even no longer need a separate nonviolent subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support this too. That is a second vote by one editor, but it is meant to be a complimentary vote. No preference for either of the two alternatives. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The word "resistance" mostly implies armed or otherwise violent resistance, and on first glance, most members of this category indeed fall in that group. If renamed, I'd say "against Nazi Germany" e.g., but not "WWII", because some of the resistance predated the war. Debresser (talk) 18:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: as stated in the nom, most recent definitions of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust include nonviolent resistance. I think that the current name of the category is preventing more people like Emanuel Ringelblum, Alfred Wetzler, or Fredy Hirsch from being added. Once the move is carried out I plan to add subcats for various types of armed and nonviolent resistance. Catrìona (talk) 15:40, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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. ℯxplicit 02:09, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF and WP:OCAWARD. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Expand abbreviations -- World Economic Forum is a notable international body, so that its awards might be significant enough to escape OCAWARD. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is not anything like the Nobel Prize. In the biographies it is merely a side note. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:27, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ℯxplicit 04:06, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-defining (e.g. for Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway). DexDor (talk) 05:28, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify and delete which is the usual outcome in OCAWARD cases. I have struck through part of my previous vote, nit iof anything is kept abbreviations must still be expanded e.g. in listifying. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:13, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per the main article, Young Global Leaders, there were 237 awards issues the first year and it occurs every year. This looks more like a career development/mentorship opportunity than an award that itself adds to notability. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:35, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:F.C. Civics Windhoek[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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:05, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: At this time, there is not enough content (just the main article and 1 subcategory) to warrant an eponymous category. Both the article and subcategory are otherwise appropriately categorized, so upmerging is not required. (@Namiba: notifying the category's creator.) -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:43, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for Now With no objection to recreating if we ever get up to 5 or so articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:53, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now As category creator, I now see that it is too small of a category. --TM 10:54, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 19:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All of the pages that used to be in this category have successfully been removed, so this category is no longer needed and should be deleted. The bot that used to add pages to this category had long stopped working. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:03, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
