February 24[edit]

Category:Films directed by Ardit Sadiku[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The result of the discussion was: Withdrawn by proposer. Thanks to BrownHairedGirl and Lugnuts, I was not aware of this convention. It might indeed be good to add this in SMALLCAT. Randykitty (talk) 15:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one entry (director has made only one movie). My crystal ball does not permit me to predict whether this person will make any more movies. (Note: created by an editor with a declared COI). Randykitty (talk) 13:15, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If that is so, I'll withdraw this of course. Do you have a link to this for me? Thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe Marcocapelle or @DexDor will be kind enough to correct me if I'm wrong. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:59, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This bit of WP:FILMCAT has it written down - "A category for a director's films should be created even if they have only directed one film (irrespective of whether they are likely to direct more in the future), providing that the director already has an article". It's been that standard for more than a decade, and something I added to the Film Project to mirror album releases (IE bands who only did one album).

Many thanks, @Lugnuts.
Does that satisfy your concerns, @Randykitty?
It seems to me that this should be noted in WP:SMALLCAT. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:31, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:G7. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:20, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: They were all categories that I created by mistake. Even though they've turned into redirects, I don't think anyone will search with these exact terms. --Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 08:11, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

College football seasons[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (Talk) 15:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per recent discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football#Proposal to regionalize the pre-1956 NCAA football independents templates, NCAA membership prior to the creation of the University and College Divisions in 1956 and seems have had no functional or structural effect on competition, and appears to get little, if any, mention in primary or third-party sources, so it is therefore not defining to the constituent articles and subcategories. The "19XX NCAA college football season" categories should up up merged to "19XX college football season".

Peterkingiron, the term "college football" refers specifically to American football played almost entirely in the United States and on a very limited scale in Canada. The parent cat for this subject is Category:College football in the United States. Its subcats are inconsistent in their use of "in the United States". I'm not opposed to a general cleanup/adjustment of the category tree here in the near future. But that should not hold up this nomination right now.
