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. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
Nominator's rationale: Not defined clearly when you are a "Generation Z", and already covered by the 20xx births categories Christian75 (talk) 14:52, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I removed the category from three pages before I realized this was a "year of birth" category. But they should not be re-added because the articles are aleredy in one of the sub-categories. Christian75 (talk) 14:55, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete and convert to lists. – Fayenatic London 14:24, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Buckshot06 and Lineagegeek: I have started the pages as bare lists. Over to you. – Fayenatic London 14:54, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A now departed, banned user, Bwmoll3, set up a this category with a reference. The reference was R. Frank Futrell, “The Development of Base Facilities,” in The Army Air Forces in World War II, vol. 6, Men and Planes, ed. Wesley Frank Craven and James Lea Cate, 142 (Washington, D.C., Office of Air Force History, new imprint, 1983). There are six pages in the category. I do not believe that whether these bases were Second Air Force group training installations is a defining characteristic of their existence, in line with WP:CATDEF. I asked Lineagegeek to comment, and he said "It sounds more like a subject for a list to me than a category. Just trying out brackets: Category:First Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:Third Air Force Group Training Stations. Category:Fourth Air Force Group Training Stations, Category:I Troop Carrier Command Group Training Stations would be direct equivalents in mission and time, but don't exist. Of the few bases put in this category two are listed under names they never had (common problem Nowadays the US Army has Army Airfields: during WW II it had Army Air Fields), and two more are listed under more recent civilian names (which in itself tells me that support for a "defining characteristic" is weak). The use of the term "group training station" also implies some sort of defining characteristic between group training stations and squadron or wing training stations (which I doubt exists). I see no reason for the category. If this were to appear on a delete category page, I'd support". Thus I've listed this category for deletion. Buckshot06 (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Although Buckshot has listed my comment already, I support the upmerge to Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces Second Air Force. As far as a further upmerge, I'd like to see more discussion before adding my thoughts, but I'm nclined to think that would go too far. --Lineagegeek (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DexDor thankyou; given Lineagegeek's comments re listification above, I now propose all three categories be deleted and turned into a proper list article, with the associated reference. Buckshot06 (talk) 23:17, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Adding parent and sibling categories as mentioned above.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Fayenatic London 14:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Concur. My only comment is that the listings should agree with WP:RCAT when appropriate, (i.e. list entries should be for Foo Army Airfield, rather than for Foo Regional Jetport) but that can be taken care of later. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment LG, I can make sure that happens - I've been moving a number of similar pages to their correct period titles as I worked through categories like this. Buckshot06 (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

People by school in Sri Lanka[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) 06:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: These categories are not needed for navigation. Each of the "People" categories holds only one sub-category for alumni. The eponymous school categories hold only the People category, the school article, and in one case a Big Match article; the contents are already sufficiently linked to each other. This is a follow-up to the nomination of the related school categories at the top of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 19. – Fayenatic London 12:21, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Populated coastal places in Cape Cod towns[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 to Category:Populated coastal places in Massachusetts. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 04:58, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All of the towns named in the above categories are, like all towns on Cape Cod, coastal towns, so any "place" in them is understood to be "coastal". Note that some of these cats have been re-created by their maker after they had been merged following a discussion from a couple months ago, in which he did not participate: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_November_29#Category:Coastal_towns_in_Massachusetts. See also: User_talk:Monster_boy1#Coastal_places_categorization_campaign. Eric talk 03:46, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
