Category:Longest surviving Olympic competitors[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. MER-C 09:33, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-defining, poorly worded and most of the people in this category are dead, so not exactly "surviving". Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:33, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted, see here (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 10:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All articles are about USA. Funeral homes seems to be American usage - at least I've never come across it in UK. Rathfelder (talk) 11:21, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Better say which new name you favour, as it is getting rather confused above. Johnbod (talk) 16:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Descendants of Confucius[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: keep. MER-C 09:49, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, these are extremely distant family members who have nothing in common with each other. Besides we do not have any other categories for descendants of an individual. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:12, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Category:Descendants of Muhammad is a redirect, & there are other such categories like Category:Descendants of the Baal Shem Tov - do a search! Johnbod (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Descendants of Confucius have a special place in Chinese history and culture. When hereditary nobility outside the imperial family was abolished more than 1,000 years ago, the main line of officially recognized descendants of Confucius was one of the few exceptions. The lineage has been meticulously documented (see Family tree of Confucius in the main line of descent), and the eldest male of the lineage held China's only continuous nobility title, Duke Yansheng, for more than 2,000 years. The current holder of the title, now called Sacrificial Official to Confucius, is Kung Tsui-chang, living in Taiwan. And only certified descendants of Confucius and their wives are entitled to be buried alongside Confucius himself at the Cemetery of Confucius, a World Heritage Site. So this is unlike any other descendants category. -Zanhe (talk) 07:53, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Non-defining (e.g. for Kong Qingdong). It may be appropriate to mention in the article text that the person is a descendant of Confucius, but not every fact in an article needs a corresponding category. DexDor (talk) 20:42, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@DexDor: I've removed Kong Qingdong, which is unsourced and should never have been included in the category. For most people in the category, their claim to fame and positions of authority are closely tied to their descent from Confucius. Quite a few became authoritative Confucian scholars in large part because of their descent, e.g. Zisi, Kong Anguo, Kong Rong, Kong Yingda. Others are notable solely because of their officially recognized descent, such as Duke Yansheng, Kung Te-cheng, Kung Tsui-chang. Definitely a defining category. -Zanhe (talk) 21:02, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Zanhe, "descendant of Confucius" is a well-documented and traditionally culturally meaningful title in China, comparable to Sayyid, not a random fact. —Nizolan (talk) 10:48, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Zanhe and others. Johnbod (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:8th-century Holy Roman Emperors[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. MER-C 09:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, very narrow category, this is for one emperor, Charlemagne, who was crowned 25 December 800, just one week before the 8th century came to an end. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:41, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The lifespan of the Empire is 800 to 1806, 8th to 19th centuries. Dimadick (talk) 05:07, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per the Argentinian popes principle. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:58, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or make it Cat-redirect to 9th century. If one takes 8th century as ending 31 Dec 800, the category had content for 1 week. If one treats it as ending in 799, it had none at all. I recall celebrating the new millennium at the end of 1999 not the end of 2000, though technically 2000 was still in 20th century, since there was no year zero. This has no effect on the issue of the subsequent categories, which should of course be kept. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment "If one treats it as ending in 799, it had none at all" All centuries begin at year x01 and end at year x00. The Anno Domini system which we are following never had a year 0. It starts at year 1. Dimadick (talk) 06:48, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, he is in the next century anyway. To avoid category clutter on articles, people should be categorised according to the century that mainly corresponds to their period of activity; we should have a tendency to avoid categorising people by occupation (etc) in multiple centuries. – Fayenatic London 22:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:OCEPON. Subcats already interlinked. --woodensuperman 15:43, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - 4 subcats has generally been considered sufficient in musician categories. Oculi (talk) 21:01, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: None of the articles are about actual lawsuits - they are all films or plays --woodensuperman 09:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We do: Lawsuits against God. Debresser (talk) 22:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Religion in Portugal by city[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. MER-C 09:35, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge, unnecessary category layer for two cities. It is not to be expected that more Portuguese cities will follow with having their own religion category if only because Portugal has been almost exclusively Christian for the last 500 years (i.e. a Christianity category would suffice).

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 09:34, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The current category name is ambiguous and can easily be confused with Category:British expatriates in Hong Kong and Category:Hong Kong people of British descent. The target is unambiguous and mirrors Category:People of British Singapore. —Nizolan (talk) 03:08, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
