March 23[edit]

Category:Basic income advocates and Category:Basic income proponents[edit]

The result of the discussion was: Rename/merge to Category:Basic income activists Can some of the editors in the discussion carry out the purge please?Timrollpickering (Talk) 12:31, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Possible category merge due to meeting the criteria of Wikipedia:Merging (overlap and possibly duplicate). There currently exists the categories Category:Basic income advocates and Category:Basic income proponents. One definition of a proponent is 'One who argues in support of something; an advocate.' These categories seem to significantly overlap and there are some of the same people listed in both categories. The definition of advocate and proponent are very similar and many people listed in one category could be listed in the other or both. It is very difficult to see why many of the people should be listed in one category and not the other. They seem like they could all, or at least mostly, be listed in either both categories or one category. Therefore I think something should be changed. Perhaps delete one of these categories and merge those from the deleted category into the remaining one? Helper201 (talk) 23:46, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Admin note: "Proponents" is the older page, and should therefore be moved in order to retain the page history. – Fayenatic London 11:43, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. Both pages are already in appropriate categories. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:54, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deletion – the NCAA canceled all 2020 winter and spring championships. None of the teams categorized in the above actually played in any of those tournaments since those tournaments never occurred. As such, it was impossible to have "participated."

Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. "Articles that present original research in the form of extrapolation, speculation, and 'future history' are inappropriate". While this policy allows "Individual scheduled or expected future events ... only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place", hypothetical events like 2021 Summer Olympics (the only item in this WP:SMALLCAT) are not "scheduled or expected". The one subcategory, Category:Hypothetical impact events is a few years old and already has appropriate scientific parent categories. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:10, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AI takeover, Dissolution of the United States, Heat death of the universe may all be hypothetical events, but they are not similar topics (they are about technology, politics/society and cosmology respectively). It is unlikely that any reader/editor would find the grouping useful. DexDor (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Dissolution of the United States doesn't belong in Futurology, which generally involves future technological developments. I'll see what I can do to fix the current unhelpful definition on the Future studies page. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 05:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment not sure; I added an article as one that seems ripe for these speculations. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:38, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per LaundryPizza03; not everything is a doomsday scenario, such as proton decay, so that category doesn't fit. And futurology only expects things in the future, a proton decay event can have happened anytime in the universe already, so that doesn't fit. We have encyclopedic articles on hypothetical events, thus the category is capable of storing them. If the hypothetical event is not notable, then they should be deleted first, before bringing up the category for deletion. Kaigas is a hypothetical past event, and not a doomsday scenario (that would be the greater topic "Snowball Earth"). -- 65.94.170.207 (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
