December 31[edit]

Category:Churches by patron saint[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:30, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The churches in question have nothing in common except that they are named after the same saint; this is textbook case of WP:SHAREDNAME. - choster (talk) 22:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per G5. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 14:42, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary parent category per WP:OCEPON and numerous precedent. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Female suicides[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: convert to container category, which will hold Category:Female suicide bombers and Category:People who committed sati. Remove the articles from the category. This category can be renominated for further discussion as needed. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:07, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Non-diffusing trivial intersection that does not aid navigation. Categories are not a place for collecting statistics on comparative gender. All the suicides are already by date, so this is just a second/third/fourth tag by sex. The few relevant subcategories are already heavily cross-categorized. The others (actors, models, writers) are already up for deletion.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle per nom, but add any remaining subcategories (probably only a few subcategories, most will have been deleted after earlier nominations) to Category:Suicides and Category:Death of women. Also, is it entirely certain that all suicides in this category have already been categorized by date? If not, they should be added by date manually. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Meanwhile I checked the articles. Quite a few were not categorized by date yet. But now they are. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That could be an alternative option when there are still quite a few subcategories left. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eventually Delete/Containerize for Now Behind the concept here but, while there are still categories, containerization would be an intermediate step per PKI. - RevelationDirect (talk) 18:51, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Eventually Delete/Containerize for Now per RD. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:17, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Containerize for sure. The violation of containerization rules in Wikipedia categorization has gotten extreme.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not inherently notable intersection, but if someone wants to (and can consistent with WP:SYNTH) write Suicide among females and source it, no object to including this as a sourced list in those articles. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The gender of these people is not a trivial detail. Dimadick (talk) 17:03, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The discussion is not about the gender as such, but about the intersection with gender. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:47, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:09, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All the suicides are already by date, so this is just a second/third/fourth tag by sex. The few relevant subcategories are already heavily cross-categorized. The others (actors, comedians, writers) are already up for deletion.
William Allen Simpson (talk) 15:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in principle per nom, but add any remaining subcategories (probably only a few subcategories, most will have been deleted after earlier nominations) to Category:Suicides and Category:Death of men. Also, is it entirely certain that all suicides in this category have already been categorized by date? If not, they should be added by date manually.

Architecture and landmarks in Sri Lanka by district[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 all Timrollpickering (talk) 23:16, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Propose merging:
more Architecture categories
more Landmarks categories
Nominator's rationale: merge these are two almost empty category layers except they largely duplicate the tree of buildings and structures. Following this, I will also nominate the architecture and landmarks categories by province which suffer from the same problem as the ones by district. This is a follow-up on this earlier discussion. @William Allen Simpson and Justus Nussbaum: pinging contributors to earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — on second thought, would prefer "Buildings and structures" be upmerged to "Architecture" instead of the other way around. But that's not what was done in the previous nomination, so we should be consistent. Some structures aren't architectural.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 11:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Per nom. This layer is not aiding navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Entertainers who committed suicide[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Trivial intersection. No notable WP:DEFINING link between the occupation and the manner of death. There may have been many years between the occupation and the suicide, making the link even weaker.
Note: Sources about the death of a person will often discuss both their occupation and their cause of death. This doesn't make this intersection any more notable than a combination with other aspects often discussed in such notices, such as their number of children. See previous:

William Allen Simpson (talk) 10:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a non-diffusing category, so they should already be there. But I've nominated it anyway, because it doesn't serve any useful purpose.

Mayors of places in Indonesia[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 all Timrollpickering (talk) 23:18, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
more categories nominated
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one, two or three articles in each of these categories and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:24, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for Now While these places would have had more than five mayors, most are not individually notable. No objection to recreating any later if they exceed expectations and get up to 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:04, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Maskilim[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: no consensus to delete. A proposal to rename as discussed by some editors could be made in a new nomination. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:03, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: listify and delete, not a defining characteristic, the term "Maskilim" is not even mentioned in some articles. A list can better explain in text and with references why these people are considered to be Maskilim. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:22, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • While there is a mention of Haskalah in the Mendelssohn article, he cannot possibly be Maskilim, because he died before Haskalah began. Retrospective categorization is not a good idea. Rather than adding a separate sub-category, it would probably be best to list the people. Lists are easier to verify.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 09:31, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Haskalah began around the early 1770s, Mendelssohn died in 1786; there is virtually no debate among scholars whether or not he was a Maskil. Again, insofar as there are are categories for members of other Enlightenment movements, I fail to see why the Jewish Enlightenment should be treated any differently. Kyuko (talk) 14:23, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to the main article: "The very name Haskalah became a standard self-appellation only in 1860". So Mendelssohn would not have referred to himself as Maskil or Maskilim and would not have referred to himself as part of Haskalah. Can readily be seen as a progenitor, but we don't categorize people retrospectively. That's yet another reason a list would be better. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFF.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 17:32, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Ancient Greeks didn't call themselves 'Ancient Greeks', the word 'medieval' was coined in the 1820s ([4]), and "the term 'Enlightenment' emerged in English in the later part of the 19th century" ([5]). Yet these are the modern terms used—yes, retrospectively—to refer to specific historical periods or movements, and the people associated to them. There is precedent. Also, WP:OTHERCATSEXIST. Kyuko (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You may have a point that we should have a look at these other categories too on another day. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:51, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or rename to Category:People of the Haskalah movement or such like. The question of which people should be included is not one for CfD. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:38, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean Toward Delete/Rename if Kept I clicked through quite a few of these articles and this category usually seemed subjective and not spelled out in most articles. Usually that's just a matter for some cleanup but it raises the question of whether we can objectively categorize most people by this movement at all. If kept, rename to Category:People of the Haskalah movement along the lines of PKI's suggestion. - RevelationDirect (talk) 19:00, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's a recognizable historical category that will group together articles in a helpful way for someone browsing the topic. And everything Kyuko said above. --Dan Carkner (talk) 16:31, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Aviti[edit]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:26, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Violates WP:SHAREDNAME. Avitus by itself was not a specific family name in ancient Rome. See here a closed and successful request to rename another category using more or less the same rationale. Avilich (talk) 02:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Romans should be categorized by gens, stirps, family or dynasty, not just name.★Trekker (talk) 23:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment When I created the category in 2013, the text of the main article was the following: "Avitus (feminine Avita) was the nomen of a Roman gens". The text has since been changed from nomen to cognomen. Dimadick (talk) 01:59, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dimadick: sorry I forgot to tag you, but that's not the name of a gens. Avilich (talk) 02:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films who won Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film[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, or at least merge confirmed. A fresh nomination to focus solely on whether or not to keep Category:Best Science Fiction Film Saturn Award winners could be held, as not all participants gave views on that. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:55, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Standardization per Category:Best Picture Academy Award winners and Category:Best Film BAFTA Award winners‎. Films are not alive so "who" is not an appropriate way to reference them. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree to the renaming. Lieutenant commander Spock (talk) 5:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
  • The nominator (Muboshgu) was not the creator (Lieutenant commander Spock), who has agreed to the renaming above.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 12:36, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ooops, I misread the nominator. Thanks. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:24, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category should be moved to Category:CD Paracuellos Antamira players, after the club's change of name. MYS77 ✉ 00:40, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support To match the name of the main article which was boldly moved. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:30, 4 January 2021 (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, merging content to Category:Gliese and GJ objects. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:23, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The system isn't particularly notable, and the article for Gliese 682 b is just a redirect, not a real article. Kepler-1229b talk

This city does not exist; seemingly created in error (perhaps mistaken for Category:Katagami, Akita, as also suggested by the categorization of Category:Katagami, Aichi within Category:Cities in Akita Prefecture), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 00:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Books about the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NARROWCAT and likely WP:SMALLCAT
This category groups 2 articles about books about the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging. Neither of the target categories for upmerge are very large and this category doesn't have much room for growth, at least with English language publications, and it's has been around since 2014. No objection to recreating later if I'm wrong and it ever gets up to 5+ articles. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Christmas Island support structures[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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OC generally
I assumed this was a Buildings & Structures category but the only thing in it is Category:Courts of Christmas Island which is already well categorized. I didn't see any equivalent categories under Category:States and territories of Australia so, whatever the intent here, it's not currently aiding navigation. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:11, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge, redundant and obscure category layer. Marcocapelle (talk) 03:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge -- unnecessary category layer. I do not think the island is that big; is it? Peterkingiron (talk) 19:41, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Related Nomination A broader nomination about Christmas Island was opened by another editor right here. Your input (pro/con/other) is also welcome there. - RevelationDirect (talk) 14:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
