The result of the discussion was: keep. bibliomaniac15 02:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per Category:American people by occupation by state. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:01, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • In this discussion I am definitely in favor of convenience and I think it would be sad to create "by state" categories and remove territories from these "by state" categories if in practice they are of the same level. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also favour convenience, but if other editors don't share that view, then we just find the pages being removed from the category, which is the least convenient outcome of all. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The pedantic approach is not reasonable. The principle at stake here is diffusion of categories. When this diffusion is justified (you probably wouldn't want all the state categories at the root of American schoolteachers) and the principle of this diffusion is geography, there is simply no good reason to leave out Washington D.C., Guam etc. "DC is not a state" is no good reason, and e.g. a + sortkey is a perfect way to show for it. If we want to fight pedantism with pedantism, we should name such categories ...by state or territory or insular area or Washington D.C. or else ...by first-level subdivision. The trouble imho with by location is that it also applies to by city, by county, by region... categories when they exist. Place Clichy (talk) 07:52, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Victorian-era submarines of the United States[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 the "19th-century" scheme proposed by Peterkingiron. bibliomaniac15 19:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, "Victorian era" is not applicable to countries like the United States or Germany. These are overlooked categories that should have been included in this earlier discussion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:00, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge A different country's period is not defining to Germany. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:49, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps Rename to Category:19th century submarines of the United States, etc. The use of Victorian is inappropriate. The relevant period for America is pre-Civil War / Civil War to WWI; for Germany Confederation / Empire. No objection to merging but I thought an alternative target might be offered. The difference between my target and the subject is the odd year after 1900, which is hardly significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to 19th-century per Peterkingiron (but hyphenate the century adjective). If not, Double merge for the first one at least, to Category:Victorian-era submarines, which already contains non-British Empire members directly, and should probably be nominated for renaming to 19th-century. – Fayenatic London 21:51, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 14:14, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only two documentaries in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:28, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete an "about" category, without an object view of how much "about" the subject must be and what reliable sources tell us it's at least that much. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 04:27, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That might be a reason to delete all "about" categories, however it is not a reason to remove content from those trees at random just because they happen to be discussed at CFD. Marcocapelle (talk) 13:02, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Paradoxes in economics. bibliomaniac15 19:36, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 April 4#Category:Mathematics paradoxes. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 04:47, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marcocapelle's suggestions make sense; economical in my mind means "thrifty" or "low priced", not anything having to do with the "economics" as a subject but that may be different on the other side of the pond. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:33, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 14:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, only one article in the category. A second merge target is not needed since the article is already in Category:Mayoral elections in Japan. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:21, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge for Now Too small to aid navigation. No objection to recreating if we ever get up to 5 articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:11, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support this is a useless intermediate level with only one subcategory. Place Clichy (talk) 13:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep in light of a possible requested move. bibliomaniac15 19:11, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
See all other articles and categories for Beitar rather then Betar.
  • Please start an RM at Talk:Betar, dependent on the outcome of that I will withdraw my oppose. If Beitar appears to be the preferred spelling, Category:Betar should be nominated as well. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Things named after Nursultan Nazarbayev[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. The category contents will be posted on the talk page in case anyone wants to listify. bibliomaniac15 02:33, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SHAREDNAME
These categories are exactly what they sound like, textbook WP:SHAREDNAME. And most of these were created by a banned sock puppet. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was about to defend the JFK category for containing actual purpose built memorials not just random things named after him ... but then I clicked on the category. All the street names and high schools in that category are not fine. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:43, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The articles are about colleges, airports etc and should be notable as such (or be deleted). For example, Caesars Entertainment Corporation meets WP:NCORP and the article doesn't even mention Julius Ceasar. DexDor (talk) 19:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all (and if something does not belong, just fix it). I don't see WP:SHAREDNAME to be about these types of categories but as UnitedStatesian pointed above, a random name, such as "Chris". Having an easy to search and navigate category system is beneficial for the project. --Gonnym (talk) 14:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
SHAREDNAME includes "Avoid categorising ... by characteristics of the name rather than the subject itself." and includes the example of Churches named for St. Dunstan. Many such categories have been deleted (example). Name-based characteristics are also non-defining in all/most cases. Categorizing things by their name would open up all sorts of issues such as things that are renamed or have multiple names. DexDor (talk) 18:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:America's Cup Hall of Fame[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. A list of the pages currently in the category is available on the talk page if anyone wants to create a list. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 04:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD and WP:OVERLAPCAT)
The America's Cup Hall of Fame is an award started by the Herreshoff Marine Museum in 1992, often for people who participated much earlier. Most the articles mention the America's Cup generally right in the intros but generally mention this award later in the articles so it doesn't seem defining. All of the people I clicked on were already in Category:America's Cup sailors or other America's Cup categories based on their role, so this commingled category seems less useful for navigation. We already have the winners listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
*RFC There is an open request for comments on proposed changes to WP:OCAWARD. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome here. -RD

Category:Germany's Sports Hall of Fame inductees[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. A list of the pages currently in the category is available on the talk page if anyone wants to create a list. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 04:32, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD)
The Germany's Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2006 and received a lot of press for inducting a few Nazis. A large majority of these winners participated in the Olympics way before 2006 and are already well categorized under Category:Olympic competitors for Germany. There are a few non-Olympic athletes here but they all seem well categorized: Joachim Löw under the FIFA World Cup, Emanuel Lasker under Chess, and Wolfgang von Trips under Formula One. A large majority of these article don't even mention the award so it's clearly non-defining. The contents of the category are already listified here within the main article. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
