August 23[edit]

Category:Fictional hills[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:Fictional natural features of Earth. bibliomaniac15 21:41, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is a WP:SMALLCAT that simply doesn't have enough notable articles to ever form a meaningful category. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:42, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Old Testament editions[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:Hebrew Bible versions and translations, except for Benedictine Vulgate. bibliomaniac15 02:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article and one subcategory. The article Benedictine Vulgate should be moved to Category:Old Testament, but the subcategory shouldn't as it is part of the Hebrew Bible tree. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:04, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Marcocapelle: I added articles to the category. Veverve (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support the Benedictine Vulgate cannot be included in "Hebrew Bible versions and translations" since it includes deutrocanonical books that were sourced from Greek originals. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:19, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The category includes 9 articles, so WP:SMALLCAT does not apply. Dimadick (talk) 16:13, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as proposed, since the Benedictine doesn't qualify for the other suggested category.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:39, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support suggested merger -- The presence of deutrocanonical books should not affect this as there are parts of the "Hebrew Bible" that are in fact in Chaldean. LL's objection will best be resolved by ensuring that the article has categories appropriate to having editions of the apocrypha. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suburbs of Noosa Shire smallcats[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: manual deletion. MER-C 18:44, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose manually deleting:
2-page categories
  1. Category:Como, Queensland
  2. Category:Kin Kin, Queensland
  3. Category:Noosaville, Queensland
3-page categories
  1. Category:Cooran, Queensland
  2. Category:Noosa Heads, Queensland
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT. Each of these 5 subcats of Category:Suburbs of Noosa Shire, Queensland, Australia is tiny, and likely to have little chance of expansion. They each currently contain only the head article plus one or two other pages.
In each case, the head article is already in Category:Suburbs of Noosa Shire, Queensland (so need to merge), and the other pages don't belong in Category:Suburbs of Noosa Shire, Queensland (so merger would be wrong). But the categories should be manually checked to ensure that all pages are adequately categorised.
I haven't checked for the availability of other articles to expand the categories; there are too many of these Australian smallcats to check. However, I make the nomination without prejudice to re-creating any of them which can be legitimately populated with more than five pages.
As with many New South Wales locations, the creation of geographical subcats in Queensland has been indiscriminate. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:13, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:RTT[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 Wikipedia medicine articles ready to translate Timrollpickering (talk) 18:45, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming
Nominator's rationale: Disambiguation. RTT is dab page, but this page is a Wikipedia maintenance category relating to the WP:WikiProject Medicine/Translation_task_force. It needs renaming somehow, and "Wikipedia RTT" is just my opening suggestion. There may be better ideas.
Note that the category is related to this tool[1], which may need to be tweaked to support the rename. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:17, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aboriginal Shire of Kowanyama[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. bibliomaniac15 21:43, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per WP:SMALLCAT: contains only one article Kowanyama, Queensland.
Even if the head article Aboriginal Shire of Kowanyama, that's still only 2 articles, and I haven't found anything else to be added.
The article Kowanyama, Queensland is already adequately categorised, so no need to merge. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 05:57, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This is a current local government area and WP:SMALLCAT does say "unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme" which is the case here. We have (or should have) categories for all current LGAs, because Queensland is the 6th largest state in the world so we do need to have geographical sub-division. And given that this is an Indigenous Shire, this runs the risk of being perceived as culturally insensitive/offensive (particularly with the worldwide protests about #BlackLivesMatter) Kerry (talk) 06:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Kerry Raymond, this is about the 150th SMALLCAT created by you which I have CFDed in the last few days, as I cleaned up the forest of smallcats for Australian localities. It's a great pity that you didn't exercise some restraint in creating them, but it's nice to see you finally bothering to respond to one of the 27 notifications currently on your talk page.
      There is no benefit to anyone in having a category for every LGA if there aren't articles to populate them, and the geographical size of the state is irrelevant: per WP:CAT, the primary purpose of categories is navigation, and a category of only one article is precisely zero help to navigation. The aboriginal status of this category is also irrelevant: other smallcats have also been nominated, e.g. Category:Shire of Pittsworth (CFD). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 07:14, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Shire of Pittsworth is not a current local government area, that's the difference. A better place to discuss Australian categories would be at the Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board and build consensus there. Kerry (talk) 07:46, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Kerry Raymond. Categories are routinely discussed at CFD, and any interested editors can join this discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:37, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, all Aboriginal Shires in Queensland are exceptionally poorly populated. Would it make sense to merge them? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:01, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I struck my previous comment. Kerry Raymond is right that the smallcat exception rule applies here ("unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme"). Hence concur with the oppose. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:06, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: dual merge Timrollpickering (talk) 14:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Anachronism. Ohio didn't become a state until 1803, the preceding Northwest Territory wasn't established until 1787. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:36, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
