Nominator's rationale: To match main articles after move of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast. —Michael Z. 19:50, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - per nom and also Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion is an extant regional district, and the article is titled Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion, so the WP:EPONYMOUS category should have the same title with the same spelling, and all the child categories should match the parent. Although Kyiv is a city and not a country, we should follow the guidance of WP:CATNAME: For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of the article about that country ... (bold in original). The name of the city/district should also appear as it does in the name of the article about that city/district. Anything else would be confusing to the reader.

Nominator's rationale: After move of top-level main article Kiev→Kyiv, and recently moved main article’s title Kiev Metro→Kyiv Metro, and all subcategories’ and contained articles’ titles.  —Michael Z. 19:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Kiev Governorate Category:Kiev Governorate (1708–1764)‎

Nominator's rationale: To match main article title Kyiv Oblast, after RM was closed early with full consensus. (earlier discussion) —Michael Z. 19:05, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - per nom and also Kyiv Oblast is an extant sub-national region, and the article is titled Kyiv Oblast (as are the sub-articles, e.g. Administrative divisions of Kyiv Oblast), so the WP:EPONYMOUS category should have the same title with the same spelling, and all the child categories should match the parent. Although Kyiv Oblast is a region and not a country, we should follow the guidance of WP:CATNAME: For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of the article about that country ... (bold in original). The name of the region category should also appear as it does in the name of the article about that region. Anything else would be confusing to the reader. (And I don't understand why a speedy move would be opposed; seems obvious and indisputable, as an eponoymous category.) Lev!vich 16:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nomination, Lev!vich et al. (Some of the subcats are not tagged.) Oculi (talk) 00:49, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support first category only per Kyiv Oblast, Procedural oppose all other categories as untagged. Place Clichy (talk) 11:02, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Why don’t you help be doing this tagging that’s so important to you then, instead of continually opposing moves no one in the world including you actually opposes? —Michael Z. 13:41, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, Wikipedia is a volunteer service. I don't really find enough time to do things that are important to my eyes, I therefore have even less time for yours. I did however try to point you to WP:CFD and follow the short but necessary steps in order to have the categories renamed (letting aside that not all occurrences of "Kiev" have to be renamed). Place Clichy (talk) 15:39, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Your time? What about our time? You're wasting my time and the time of other volunteers by opposing moves that are no-brainers. These should have been done on a speedy basis. Either articulate an actual opposition argument or please get out of the way. "Procedural oppose" of the child categories contradicts WP:NOTBURO. Because the article is at Kyiv Oblast, all the Kyiv Oblast categories should obviously use the same spelling. Lev!vich 16:16, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, the guideline you cite also says “there is no deadline.” We can let this sit in discussion until we all reach a consensus that there is a wp:SNOWBALL’s chance these won’t be renamed.
    This obstruction seems completely pointless, and I am doubting that your unexplained objections are a good-faith effort toward anything of value. In fact, you expressed your disrespect for the consensus on the original RM when you first piped up at a Kyiv-related discussion: The latest RM that resulted in renaming the article about the city to Kyiv is far, far, very far from showing a clear and over-reaching consensus. . . . As the consensus is weak and was fought for years about the name of the city, and per the examples above, imho it does not extends to other entities. If you intend to accomplish anything other than disruption, please explain what it is. Or don’t. We’re making an encyclopedia anyway. —Michael Z. 17:30, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Speedy or not, categories have to be tagged before being renamed. I'm only trying to help you by pointing you to the most efficient process in this case, in the spirit of making you win time rather than lose it. The rest of the arguments are getting too personal... you did not seem to have shown much respect either for the numerous RM over the years which resulted in a long-standing consensus towards Kiev on the 15 pages of archives at Talk:Kyiv/naming, by bringing up the topic again and again and again. Place Clichy (talk) 10:06, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    The rest of the arguments are too personal, so let me tell you what’s wrong with your attitude – Nice. But unfair. I was an editor during all thirteen move requests. As far as I can tell from the archive, I opposed the first, argued against one or two others, sat most of them out, and I supported the last one. I participated in discussions. I opposed a “moratorium” on moves that was not supported by a clear consensus, and I believe was abused by a few overenthusiastic editors to stifle discussion when it was needed most. I believe my view was vindicated when the decision was finally rendered over eight months later. I respect Wikipedia and its guidelines – even good arguments that the dated spelling may still be appropriate in some places – but I do not respect blind obstruction. “Trying to help”? You have forced speedy CFDs to discussion, for no reason. —Michael Z. 17:36, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Place Clichy is fully entitled to their procedural oppose and there is a serious risk that the nomination will not be closed, or closed as no consensus, if nearly all categories remain untagged. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural oppose for all subcategories (except (Category:Economy of Kiev Oblast, Category:Companies based in Kiev Oblast, Category:State companies based in Kiev Oblast and Category:People from Kiev Oblast) as they were not tagged as required by WP:CFD#HOWTO.

  • Oppose Category:Kiev Oblast Football Championship as proposed. The only article in category is 2019 Football Championship of Kyiv Oblast, so this should be renamed to Category:Football Championship of Kyiv Oblast. Armbrust The Homunculus 10:29, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds like an improvement. —Michael Z. 14:56, 14 October 2020 (UTC) But look at its many siblings in Category:Football competitions in the regions of Ukraine. For wp:CONSISTENCY in title pattern, I suggest a separate move request for all those cats. For consistency in this oblast’s category tree, let’s complete this move as it stands. —Michael Z. 17:46, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support move to Category:Shevchenkivskyi District, Kyiv - per nom and also Shevchenkivskyi District is an extant district, and the article is titled Shevchenkivskyi District, Kyiv, so the WP:EPONYMOUS category should have the same title with the same spelling, and all the child categories should match the parent. Additionally, WP:CATNAME provides When an article topic requires disambiguation, any category eponymously named for that topic should include the same form of disambiguation ..., so the category should match the article for that reason. Finally, although Kyiv is a city and not a country, we should follow the guidance of WP:CATNAME: For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of the article about that country ... (bold in original). The name of the city disambiguator of the district category should also appear as it does in the names of the articles about that district and city. Anything else would be confusing to the reader.

Nominator's rationale: Remove unnecessary disambiguation for consistency with main article’s title. Alternatively, move to Category:Podilskyi District (Kyiv), after move of top-level main article Kiev→Kyiv, for consistency with parent category’s and contained articles’ titles.  —Michael Z. 18:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move to Category:Podilskyi District - per nom. Podilskyi District is an extant district, and the article is titled Podilskyi District.

Nominator's rationale: Identical to my rationale for Category:Jewish slave traders. Unencyclopedic, tendentious, fails WP:OCEGRS. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep they are described by their ethnicity in reliable sources and Wikipedia has other categories for Category:Jews by occupation such as Category:Jewish scientists and Category:Jewish merchants. Individuals such as Aaron Lopez, for instance often had changing involvement with different states: born in Portugal, became involved with the English and then was involved in the Americas. The Sephardic merchants of the age of slavery are treated in academic sources as a distinctive class or group. We also have other ethnic categories for slave traders and owners such as Category:Arab slave owners, Category:African slave owners, Category:Maltese slave owners, etc. No reason Jews should be any different or white-washed from this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torchist (talk • contribs)
    • May I respectfully suggest you to have a look at our guidelines WP:EGRS and WP:OCEGRS? The fact that Aaron Lopez was, a the same time, a Jew and a slave owner does not seem to indicate any defining link between the two. To follow your comparison about Arabs, Africans and Maltese, I also believe that a category about Hebrew slave owners would be eligible if it concentrated on ancient Hebrews at the time when they practiced slavery. Place Clichy (talk) 11:02, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and per discussion further down on this page. Slave owner is not an occupation, by the way. Aaron Lopez is not a member of this category, by the way. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:44, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:OCEGRS and being a slave-owner is not an "occupation" any more than owning some other property; also, I question the notability factor: are these folks notable because they were Jewish and owned slaves or was either trait incidental to their claims to fame?

  • Eli Faber countered the suggestion that slave trade was more than proportionally dominated by Jews so that supports deletion of the category. Aaron Lopez can simply be categorized as an American slave trader. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You're arguing something completely different here. Whether they "dominated" it or not, there were Jewish slave traders and owners and specific academic treatments have been authored about them (such as by Faber) which cover the topic of Jewish slave and owners and traders as specifically Jewish (just as there are of Arabs and Africans who owned slaved). The United States only existed for a brief time when Lopez lived and was a slave trader, he also lived in Portugal, Britain, etc (he is just one example of many with a similar complex situation). We have biographical articles about some of these people, there is no less reason to have a Wikipedia category for them than there is for Arab slave traders. Torchist (talk) 17:33, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - there has been a lot of talk about the topic Jews and the American Slave Trade, and while most if not all respectable academics say that the role Jews played in the slave trade is minimal at best, that does not negate the coverage this subject has received. I agree with the nominator that it would be odd if any other category was created with the intersection of religion and being a slave trader,but at the same time we have categories intersecting being Jewish with other occupations that are not found with any other religion. Currently I feel that the rational for deletion is simply that some people might find it offensive, and per WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:NOTCENSORED I don't feel its a valid argument. Inter&anthro (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete were any of these folks notable because they were both Jews and slave traders, or merely they were slave traders who happened to be Jews? i.e., if they had been only slave traders they wouldn't have been notable because other religions acquiesced in slave trading while Judaism somehow opposed it? No evidence has come to light to support that concept, so this is an arbitrary combination somehow dividing slave traders by the religion they held is arbitrary. This isn't an WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:NOTCENSORED issue as discussed above. Because our consensus is that categorization of bad behavior by race/religion/ethnicity is arbitrary. WP:OCEGRS.

  • Delete. Many of the entries are imprecise (not Jewish, not slave traders). The category itself is not needed and non-defining. antisemitic texts written by the Nation of Islam, as well as a very small set of scholarly rebuttals (which refute this being of any significance), are not the basis for a category, for the same reason Category:Jewish bloodsuckers is illegitimate, even though one could possibly populate it.--Astral Leap (talk) 08:57, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, non-defining cross-categorisation that serves no legitimate purpose.BD Mason (talk) 05:37, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
